The Only Instance Where Kreese Brutality Was Not Just Loved but Applauded by &#8216;Cobra Kai&#8217; Fans

Cobra Kai has a lot of action with a lot more drama. The characters throughout
the show have indulged themselves in one or the other chaotic situation. Over
the years, we have seen the fight between good and evil. And when we talk about
evil, John Kreese and Terry Silver are some names that come to our minds
immediately. However, each coin has two sides. In the same way, these evil
characters also have a good side. Never Silver, but Kreese once showed his
compassionate side on the show, giving us a glimpse of the goodness hidden
inside Kreese.

JOHN KREESE SHOWED MERCY FOR THIS GIRL AND WON COBRA KAI FANS’ HEARTS

If we look closely, we can understand why every character is the way they are.
John wasn’t always like this. If you have seen his past in the previous movies,
you might remember that he was a dreamer. He also loved a girl and had feelings,
and was soft. But as time passed by, and the more he experienced the surrounding
people, the more brutal he became. Therefore, we have seen mostly the brutal and
heartless, selfish John in Cobra Kai [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/cobra-kai/].
However, this

one time, he showed up for one of his students and protected her without
boasting about it, making the viewers sympathize with him.

When Tory was facing issues with his landlord, John got the hint from her
behavior. Saying nothing to Tory, John struck first and hard at her landlord’s
house. Without showing mercy, John threatened him and almost cut his figures.
However, John didn’t do so. But the landlord got the message loud and clear. As
a result, he stopped harassing Tory for the rent, and the problem got solved.

John knew about Tory’s family and her troubles. Therefore, he just went and took
care of a bad situation. This act of John Kreese portrayed him as a protective,
caring, and strong sensei

In the same way, he always felt about Johnny Lawrence,

FANS APPRECIATED KREESE FOR THIS

The only time when the viewers didn’t absolutely hate John was this. Here is
what the fans have to say about it.
