In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ralph Macchio explained his disdain the second "Karate Kid" sequel. "I was not a fan of how 'The Karate Kid 3' came out. I felt the story was only repeating itself and was not character forwarding for the end of LaRusso," Macchio told THR. "And production-wise, it was being written one way and then changed another way. It was not a smooth ride. In the end, there were parts of the character that I didn't embrace as well as I did with the original and the first sequel. I don't put it on the top of my resume." Now, with the fourth season of "Cobra Kai," Macchio said he is now happy with how the framework of "The Karate Kid: Part III" is worked into the series' narrative. "It informs 'Cobra Kai' going forward, clearly with season four. It gives us so much story," Macchio told THR. "And what is so wonderful about doing the 'Cobra Kai' series, the creators find ways to take that story and let it evolve and find backstories for characters who might have been thinly written." Macchio also revealed that he likes how Silver's story has been more refined In "The Karate Kid: Part III," Silver had a manic presence at times, and he brings a calmer demeanor to "Cobra Kai" at least initially. Silver's villainy does eventually re-emerge sometimes in unexpected ways and Macchio is pleased with how Silver's storyline has become another big element to enhance the overall story of the series. "There is a larger-than-life element to 'Cobra Kai.' When you break it down, it is kind of ridiculous but that is why it is so much fun! So you take a character like Terry Silver for this show with those larger-than-life elements and his relationship with Daniel, then add those layers of complexity to his evilness. And now it becomes a refined performance," Macchio observed for THR. "On top of that, from the perspective of Daniel as an adult, now we are adding other stakes and elements about his own kids and students. It is remarkable that what I would call the shortcomings of the original franchise are now bearing fruit 36 years later."
