Cobra Kai: Ranking Every Character Worst To Best
8. Samantha LaRusso
Like most spawn of the uber-rich, Daniel and Amanda LaRusso's daughter, Samantha, is a hard character to like. From accusing strangers of theft to drunkenly putting the night moves on her ex, Samantha stirs the pot in a way few characters on Cobra Kai do. It's called due process, Samantha, look it up!
Samantha's penchant for drama frequently brings her fellow classmates into conflict. Yet in those sweaty moments of teenage violence, romance blossoms for Samantha. Her and Miguel are drawn together when he comes to her aid after she's harassed by her ex, Kyler. It's not exactly swiping right, but we suppose it'll do.
And for a while Samantha and Miguel get along like a house on fire. That is, until Samantha's unrequited feelings for Robby Keene flourish following a confrontation between him and Miguel at a party. Are you sensing a pattern here?
In fact, Samantha's tendency to yo-yo from one relationship to the next is part of what makes her character so unappealing. Always ready to play the victim of love gone sideways, while all too eager to find comfort in the arms of the next poor schmuck, Samantha is the kind of romantic partner nightmares are made of.
