Yes, I started a similar thread over on the boards of Part I. Compare Daniel to Rocky. Rocky always faces intimidating opponents, but once he gets his head in the game and trains hard you want to cheer for him because he's got the "eye of the tiger" despite always being the underdog. Daniel is a deer in the headlights when he faces an opponent. You never get the sense that he has toughened up after all that training with Miagi.
In Part III, when the goons raid the bonsai shop and Daniel knees the guy with the mullet in the gut and throws him into some wood planks, I used to point out to everyone that that was the only time Daniel wins a fight without some kind of gimmick.
