Never apologize for loving Daniel on my posts, all of this is true. And yeap. Unfortunately, for whatever reason johnjoshhayden have made the creative decision to never have Johnny apologize for some reason, I thought it was going to be saved for the final season, but now I'm pretty sure they just don't want to.
Giving myself brain damage by psychoanalyzing every single relationship Daniel has ever had with a Man
#im going to guess because having him admit his wrong doings to daniel goes against their “rivals not bully/victim” thing#so they'd rather downplay it as not that bad than have him acknowledge and apologize#which tbh i think leads to the daniel bashing in both the world of the show and irl fandom#you know the “he's overreacting/too stuck up/doesnt know when to stop/thinks hes better” etc etc etc#because if they downplay how serious the bullying was then they can play up what are seen as Daniel's negative traits#which is how they wanted to make Johnny sympathetic and daniel less so#because they didn't trust their viewers to make their own conclusion I guess. like. just give us the information#dont spoon feed it to us and tell us what to think. you already have a compelling and sympathetic story#what with the whole “groomed into a child soldier for a bullshit culture war” thing#anyways#ck#ck negativity#just in case

I know this is probably dumb of me to say but I feel like Johnny hasn't improved in how he treats Daniel. First, he said that Eagle Fang is just another version of Cobra Kai, which showed good character development. But then in episode 5, he called Mr. Miyagi a liar and a thief, forgetting that Mr. Miyagi saved him in '84 and that Daniel saved him from getting choked again using Miyagi-do from Kreese. Some people seem to think that Johnny had it worse because he lost his mom, so he has the right to say those things about Mr. Miyagi, while Daniel doesn't understand what Johnny went through. However, Daniel lost two fathers—Mr. Miyagi and his own dad. People also seem to forget that Johnny's life could have been better, just like Mike Barnes got his life together and moved past a tournament loss. I think Johnny's horrible backstory was thrown in at the last minute to make him seem sympathetic and Daniel more like the villain. Despite all the hardships he faced with Cobra Kai, Daniel managed to get his life together. And I hate how Johnny didn’t take what Daniel said about Terry and what he went through in 85 in s4 seriously like at all,all he cared was that Daniel got put into another tournament unlike chozen who was full on ready to go there and fight terry like “Johnny a badass character that can kick anyone ass and he a great guy and Daniel the real bully because Daniel stole Ali”
Like Ali not a fucking item she didn’t get stolen Daniel was nice and she was nice to him and he defended her because Johnny was acting like a asshole breaking her radio and Ali didn’t want to talk to Johnny at all and I never blamed her for not wanting to
And I’m know I’m probably overthinking it but the fact johnny kissed her with no consent at the country club definitely feel very overlooked by the fandom because “Johnny hot and he could do not wrong” like I felt so uncomfortable seeing him do that and I was happy when she punched him
Giving myself brain damage by psychoanalyzing every single relationship Daniel has ever had with a Man
#and the fact I think he doesn't want to apologize is because it is not manly enough#or he doesn't feel like he didn't do anything wrong#like Josh Jon and Hayden. definitely just want to excuse all that Johnny put Daniel because Johnny the fun character he is so badass#im going to guess because having him admit his wrong doings to daniel goes against their “rivals not bully/victim” thing#so they'd rather downplay it as not that bad than have him acknowledge and apologize#which tbh i think leads to the daniel bashing in both the world of the show and irl fandom#you know the “he's overreacting/too stuck up/doesnt know when to stop/thinks hes better” etc etc etc#definitely all of that#like they make danie seem like he is overreacting and acting crazy over all this cobra Kai drama#and the funny thing is that those toxic Johnny stans downplay that Daniel was right from the beginning about cobra Kai#like Daniel was right from the beginning of how reacting towards cobra Kai because he knew who would come back
