Sam and Tory in Season 4


Would you say Sam is the real bully in season 4? It seemed like Tory had grown up, matured, and just wants to get through life, but Sam kept taunting her and pushing her.

reply

Sam was really unlikable in season 4

reply


Tory went after Sam hard in season 2 and left her traumatized, so I don't blame Sam for ALL her actions.

I also think Tory has more growing to do, though she's definitely improved.

So while I'd generally agree with you, they're still kids who unfortunately know how to push each other's buttons and BOTH lack the maturity and control to let things go.

It's heartbreakingly believable, IMHO

reply

To be fair, Sam doesn't know that Tory has changed.

reply

Sam the real bully? Are you delirious? Tory has arguably tried to kill Same. Twice:

But Same "iS ThE ReAl BuLLy" because she made fun of Tory? Please...

reply

I never said Tory wasn't a bully and she did worse than anything Sam did in season 4. However, by season 4 Tory had matured to the point where she just wants to go about her life. Sam on the other hand, couldn't let things go. In a way, Tory in season 4 is like John Rambo in First Blood. Whereas Sam is a lot like Will Teasle. If you haven't watched First Blood the character Rambo just wants to be left alone, but the Sheriff Teasle keeps pushing Rambo until he snaps.

You literally asked if Sam is "the real bully" now. No. No, she's not. She's a kid who was bullied - quite severely too - who decided to fight back.

Tory "moved on" because Sam's mom told her to back off and let her back into school.

Was Sam making fun of Tory petty? Sure, but you can't even get mad at her for that after what Tory did to her.

reply

Thats ridiculous. Cobra Kai has nothing to do with the Rambo film franchise

reply

Not True. Martin Kove is in both franchises and Rambo has been referenced in Cobra Kai. No coincidence.

reply

Sam isn't a bully but she has the LaRusso gene that makes her handle situations in the worst possible way.

reply

Sam is still hanging out for revenge and her mother has become overly protective. It will become a self fulfilling prophecy if they keep pushing Tori and she snaps or Sam keeps bullying and gets into a fight she will regret.

reply

What do you mean "if" she snaps? Tory has pretty much tried to kill Sam. Twice.

reply

I meant now that things have settled down. It's like Sam and her mother are trying to provoke her.

reply

They're not provoking, they're responding to things that happened to them. Things Tory caused. Amanda said "Stay away from my family/home" and Sam made fun of Tory. These aren't even comparable to what Tory has done.

reply

I would say her mother confronting Tori at her work place was the wrong setting. Sam taunting her next job was also just asking for trouble.

Sure, Tori was a bitch but why keep poking the bear?

reply

"Sure, Tori was a bitc"

She. Tried. To. Kill. Sam. TWICE.

reply

And if someone tried to kill you twice, would you keep hounding them?

reply

"Hounding", LOL! She made fun of her at a kids party.

reply

Yep which happened to be her job! The one she got after her mother got her fired from her previous job!

reply

Oh no! They were mean to her at her job!?

Tory broke into their home. Save the pearl clutching.

reply

You still don't get it? Why would you keep pushing such a person?
