The Cobra Kai Season 5 Scene That Left Peyton List In Tears For An Unexpected Reason

Season 5 of “Cobra Kai” featured some very big action set pieces for the show as it inched toward the violent confrontation with the villainous Terry Silver. However, according to an interview with Netflix, series star Peyton List experienced a lot of frustration during a scene that required her to strike at a brick. “There’s a scene where Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) tells me to keep hitting a marble brick,” List said. “That was definitely the hardest scene for me to do. I remember crying in the middle of it when they called cut because I just wanted to do justice to the scene.”

The scene in question serves as a big moment for List’s character Tory Nichols, who is both trying to prove her loyalty to Cobra Kai and deal with the fallout of her budding relationship with Robby Keene (Tanner Buchanan). So it absolutely makes sense that List would take it as seriously as she did and put a lot of emphasis on getting things just right. Arguably, it’s this level of attention to character dynamics, along with its nostalgic value and fun fight sequences, that have made “Cobra Kai” such a hit with audiences.
