This is why we have the Internet.
So some highly creative individual can make a nearly five-minute YouTube video breaking down exactly why Daniel LaRusso, played by the never-aging Ralph Macchio, is the real bad guy in the "Karate Kid."
You will question everything you ever thought about Johnny being the jerk after you watch the case laid out in methodical fashion by the narrator, who refers to Daniel's rival as "a flawed hero."
This video will shock you almost as much as the very NSFW "Funny or Die" video Macchio did in 2010 to spoof his image.
