Anyone feel a little bad for Terry Silver? (warning spoilers)

[BlueSkies]

I mean when he gets re introduced to the show he is helping one of the housekeepers it looks like move some tables.  Kinda subtly showing he's not a d-bag like he once was.  When he gets confronted by Kreese he wanted nothing to do with his lifestyle anymore and he even says he worked hard for years in therapy to pull him out the shape he was in in Karate Kid 3.

But I guess he felt he kept owing something to Kreese until he did him in.  Even when he started with the dojo his lessons were much more watered down than Karate Kid 3.  I think his apologize to Daniel was partly sincere.  

But yeah the PTSD imo took over him again.

I do, in a way. He got guilt tripped by Kreese, who dragged him back into the life of rivalries/holding a chip on your shoulder after Terry had worked hard to get away from that. Kreese bringing up Vietnam and the cage in 4x07 was pretty unforgivable.

Terry allowed his past to turn him into an even worse person than Kreese, but that was suppressed by his loyalty to Kreese and his therapy helping him cope with it. Now that neither of those things are a factor, I’ll be interested to see his demeanor/thought process in Season 5.

Whatever happens to Chayenne, his girlfriend from the start of season 4?  Lol

It was ultimately Kreese who dragged him back into this lifestyle.  He might be innocent when it comes to Stingray but deserved to be in jail anyway

Nope. He may have been brought back into the fold by Kreese, but he chose to beat the crap out of Stingray and Daniel and retaliate against Mike. Not to mention bribing two refs to make sure that Cobra Kai stays on top and teaching a middle schooler a move to incapacitate an opponent who's just a kid himself. He is fully embracing his supervillain status and is just as awful as Kreese even with his PTSD.

Didn't he "ghost" her? I seem to have faint memories of seeing a brief close-up of his phone with messages from Cheyenne that said stuff like 'Where are you?' and 'I'm worried about you' (although that could just be a figment of my imagination).

I felt a little bad for Silver at first, until he started beating up everybody left and right to send messages to Kreese. Then... nope, no more sympathy.

He's still my favorite villain on the show, though.

You are correct bout Cheyenne.

Yeah right before he burned down Mike Barnes's business I still thought you could make a case he's misunderstood

I don't feel bad for Terry Silver, he deserves what he gets.  But I can never hate Silver.  I like Silver.  He is such a fun villain.

He definitely deserved to lose Cobra Kai, but as a character in general, I think Terry is just VERY entertaining. One of my favorite characters, if I’m being honest.
