Same here, from the first season I related to Demitri quite a bit. I was a social outcast and lacked self-esteem. I tended to talk a lot to compensate as result. Despite this, people were still impressed with my brain smarts. Thanks to my studying various martial arts, I became a much stronger person and my peers stopped seeing me as a nerd. I really like that Demitri is so forgiving of everyone, in spite of the trouble he has encountered up to now. Plus, it was incredible seeing him perform the Kama Kata at the All-Valley Tournament in Season 4.

I want your the best around playing with his victory against Kyler then loose against Robby while making side remarks calling him Anakin Skywalker. Hopefully that will help in Robby’s redemption.

I bonded hard with Hawk. I was bullied until the principal told me to fight back, he'd look the other way (can you imagine that happening today?) I started handing out bloody noses and found it was fun and effective. I did karate and boxing later in life, and immediately learned that the intensity of your repressed anger means nothing when someone's fighting back. It was fun to do and acquire skills , and it did earn me respect as an adult that I didn't have as a kid. Dmitri's (almost) continuous support and instant forgiveness shows an incredible strength of character that few could match.

Demetri is my favorite character in Team Miyagi-Do because he is the direct contrast of Eli/Hawk. He is legitimately the third strongest amongst Daniel's top students and only uses karate when there are no more options left like when he was cornered by Hawk. In Season 4, I think Demetri is going to be Daniel's second strongest fighter, next to none other than Sam of course, in the All Valley Tournament because Robby has switched sides in Season 3. I'm hoping that he will represent Miyagi-Do in the semifinals. As for who is the opponent he will be facing, my bets are either Miguel and Robby. If he will be matched up with Miguel and win their friendly match, Demetri will face Robby in the finals which means that he and Robby will have a similar fight that Johnny and Daniel had in the first movie and the one that Miguel and Robby had in Season 1 wherein the final match is between the stars of Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do. Once Daniel will pass on his iconic headband to Demetri, he is truly the embodiment of Miyagi-Do's first rule: karate is for defense only.
@Nargon462 жыл бұрын
Demitri is definitely one of my favorite characters in CK. My dude is sassy, smart, kind, forgiving, loyal, and brave enough to try. Unlike with Cobra Kai, where he at least had connections, Miyagi-Do was full of unknowns for him. He didn't know Sam personally, Daniel is a big shot business owner, plus Robby has a rivalry with Cobra Kai going back to the tournament, and Demitri is a known friend of Miguel and Hawk from school. He had no guarantees they would even take him, but he came anyway, and was able to be honest with Daniel about his motivations and struggles. No matter how long it takes him he always keeps going until he learns. He is observant and studious, even if he can't always copy right away. Not to mention he never holds a grudge! Even after gaining new friends with Chris and Sam and the other MDs, he tries to show Eli that he still wants his friendship too, and is willing to bury the hatchet until Eli shows his vindictiveness. And after Eli breaks his freaking arm, causing him excruciating physical pain (Demitri's least favorite type of pain), he still accepts Eli's apology and puts aside his more complicated feelings for later so they can finish the fight. He isn't perfect, but he certainly has a lot of qualities that are worth to be striven for.

Even if you skimmed over it rather quickly, I'm glad you at least acknowledged that Demetri was jealous & unsupportive of Eli/Hawk after he gained confidence, popularity & a girlfriend. Something that significantly contributed to the rift in their friendship which is often completely overlooked by Demetri apologists. Demetri had "neurotic" passive aggressive "nerd bully" tendencies, which is why he and Yasmine deserve each other. They're the same person. Unlike Hawk, who constantly had to pay for his flaws the, narrative as thus far has given Demetri a pass for his own crappy behavior which he has never even acknowledged, let alone apologized for.

I try to be objective as I can with these videos, and offer a different perspective on characters, whether they are polarizing or almost completely hated. Sometimes things do get left out or skimmed over but it's not intentional as the last thing I want to do is be biased. It would make no sense to talk about a character without talking about their flaws; you can still like a character and be aware of their flaws/mistakes. I do my best to treat everyone the same and as much as I am huge fan of Johnny, Daniel, and Miguel, I called out their mistakes. Cobra Kai is a great show that really focuses on the "gray" of the situation, because both sides you want to cheer for but they also do questionable things at times, and that's ok. You can like one side or both.

@Ban this youtube this comment was pretty old but this was an interesting perspective of demetris character. Tho I think he's more of a snarky negative dude who expected people to follow by the book (cuz having that expectation is predictable instead of dealing with ppl who defy those expectations). Being somebody who's too logical at least formally, I see some of what demetris saying to logically make sense I.e why do karate when I have you, if someone is being violent towards u just call the police. Even that scene where he picks up chick's at the beach, he contailed off of cobra kais success without doing anything but at least he acknowledges that "I'm enjoying the gain without the pain". Even the shit he was saying before s1e5 makes logically sense even tho it stems from a negative mindset. You can say he's being resourceful in a sense, but this just makes sense logically. Overall, I didn't like he was passing up overall development for short term protection, cuz what if they're not around? He also expects ppl to follow by the book which is not how bullies work.

Demetri getting Yasmine after she fully admits to her wrongdoing in the past was one of the most immensely satisfying things I've seen in a while tbh. I really enjoyed how they showed this because it shows how anyone can change so long as they're given the chance and they take that chance to actively work on repairing the damage they've done before.

Why is it that, to me, their are some similarities between Demetri and Terry Silver? Similarly 1: Demetri makes fun of Hawk at Moons party, much like how Terry insulted the crane kick in karate kid 3 Similarity 2: Demetri gets a beer pour down on his head by Hawk at moons party, much like how Terry got a bucket of paint pour down on his head by Mr Myagi in there fight in karate kid 3 Similarly 3: Demetri gets his life save by Miguel a bunch of times, much like how Kreese would save Terry’s life a bunch of times in Vietnam Similarly 4: Demetri would try to comfort Hawk and tells him to let go of Moon because she has move on and they broken up, much like how Terry would pretend to help Daniel beat Mike Barns and teach him some of Cobra Kai style But that’s just me.

Demetri is the golden boy and my favorite character. In the first season, Demetri was suffering from a severe lack of confidence and was being picked on a lot, just like Eli and Miguel. However, while Miguel and Eli joined the Cobra Kai dojo and adopted many of Johnny Lawrence’s bad qualities and misguided teachings, Demetri stood up to Johnny, pointing out how rude it was to make fun of Eli’s appearance and leaving Cobra Kai, realising how bad it would be. In the finale of season 2, Demetri took sensei LaRusso’s advice to use physical violence as a last resort. He initially retreated during the West Valley brawl, only kicking Hawk into a trophy case when it was absolutely necessary. When Eli was in a slump, Demetri gave Eli the pep talk that he needed. This pep talk was so effective, that Eli did not return to Eagle Fang, he joined Miyagi-Do. Demetri used to be very awkward around the ladies, so much so that he felt awkward talking to his mother, now he is in a relationship with Yasmine. Demetri was an all around great guy, not only in season 4, but pretty much since the pilot episode.

As someone who was bullied, and had to learn to stand up for my self(which the self confidence came from martial arts) his character has always hit home with me.

Demetri has been one of my favorite characters since I first saw him in the series. He's very relatable for me because he's practically me if I had been a character in the Karate Kid/Cobra Kai universe when I was in high school. The only real difference, other than physical appearance and the era he grew up in (I was a high schooler in the late 1990s) is that he's more of a comic book nerd and I was more of a high fantasy nerd.

8:00 that’s how he got lucky it was lucky placement the trophy case is what finished hawk off, also hawk was tired from fighting multiple other opponents and if it wasn’t for demetri’s luck a perfect example is the fact that hawk’s hits are strong enough to hit durable opponents like Miguel and Robby while demetri was whining about a splinter and hawk did land to hits on demetri so if hawk wasn’t tired his first punch would have finished demetri off
