Cobra Kai on Netflix: Actor rewrites scene deemed problematic

No, not all shoots turn out horribly for actors. This is evidenced by the testimony given by Mary Muser, Samantha LaRusso’s interpreter, during the interview of the TV series Cobra Kai. Collider !

The actor specifically revealed that a scene in the final episode of Season 4 caused a particular problem. During the All Valley tournament, Miguel – then in the midst of a rivalry with Robbie – assaults Samantha and tells her “You’ll see what I’m going to do with your girlfriend”. Specifically, regarding the fact that Sam and Rob actually met a few seasons ago.

Embarrassed that his character is so quick to forgive Miguel for his evil attitude, the actor took his displeasure to the screenwriters, who gave him a completely unexpected proposal to rewrite the scene to his liking.

Xolo and I went to sit down with a piece of paper and a copy of the script and talked about our vision for the scene, then I passed it on to the scriptwriters, who of course spiced things up because that’s their job. And we were asked if we were happy with the change that we were.

Idyllic working atmosphere, of course, the success of the series, but also the root of its success: the fifth season of Cobra Kai, launched on September 9, still occupies the ranking of the most watched programs on Netflix two weeks later. A good sign for the future, although Season 6 has not yet been officially ordered by the platform!
