The rooftop challenge in Season 4 was even too dumb for Johnny
While it was no surprise seeing Johnny and Danny unite and then immediately split up in Season 4, what did make jaws drop was witnessing the former's first lesson for his students involve them jump from one building rooftop to the next. With the only bit of safety being some used mattresses below, it was a cartoon-ish idea that wasn't befitting of the Lawrence we'd come to know and love. Taking to the "Cobra Kai" Reddit page, one fan highlighted that after spending most of Season 3 helping Miguel recover after injuring his back, it made no sense for Johnny to have a group of kids parkouring across rooftops.
"From a character standpoint, that act was ludicrous, and he should've grown up more at that point," said u/Legitimate_Unit_9210, baffled that it even went ahead. "I still can't completely let it go. There's funny-dumb, and then there's just dumb. That scene was dumb." They weren't the only ones to question the Lawrence's lessons either, as u/devs_6669 said, "the roof top jump was ridiculous and stupid. I agree." u/Jay_Kramer_1993 added that his top student Sam (Mary Mouser), who has a history of taking things too far, didn't help either saying, "Sam's 'flawless' landing of the rooftop jump was the dumbest!" Thankfully, in anticipation of the show's fifth season, Zabka promised a more focused Johnny who hopes to rebuild bonds with the young cast, rather than chuck them off buildings.
