Cobra Kaimarksthe end of a journeythat began in 1984.
All of which to say, closure is to be expected for many of the characters.
But one in particular is murkier than you may realize.
Let’s talk about Sensei John Kresse on Cobra Kai.© Netflix
Kreese learns Silver is planning to sabotage Johnny and the two duke it out.
The fight then ends in Silvers yacht exploding, killing both Kreese and Silver.
Or so we thought.
Apparently, a scene was filmed that revealed Kreese didnt die in the episodes, but it was deleted.
Thats where it ends, but a bit more was shot.
And we even had Marty Kove there with his hand, pick up the magazine just in case.
We knew it would be too ridiculous.
We didnt want to make it clear that hes alive, Schlossberg said.
So we felt its better to keep it vague and let the audience interpret it.
But, as Schlossberg pointed out, John Kreese has evaded death many times in the past.
And we never actually see any bodies.
Its fair to assume that he died based on the explosion, but it was a very far-back shot.
Would you have bought Kreese surviving the explosion?
In your mind, did he?
Let us know below.
All episodes ofCobra Kaiare now steaming and well have much, much more soon.
