Julie Pierce

Note: Not to be confused with Julie from Ben 10 (Omniverse).

Julie Pierce is the main protagonist of the critically panned 1994 film The Next Karate Kid.

Why She Sucks

 * 1) Julie is nothing more than just a female version of Daniel LaRusso (The main protagonist from the first three Karate Kid films.) only with anger issues, making her pointless.
 * 2) The way she defeated her rival Ned was rather cheesy and predictable: Julie used literally just one kick to defeat Ned, not only that she had trouble fighting Ned, but she predictably defeats Ned out of nowhere with just one kick.
 * 3) She has some questionable logic that doesn't make any sense.
 * 4) *She beats Ned with lack of training which is weird considering that Ned had been in Alpha Elite a lot longer than Julie was in Miyagi Do.
 * 5) *At one scene she jumped over a pizza truck with no training at that point, this makes no sense since she wasn't trained by Mr. Miyagi yet.
 * 6) She's extremely rude to almost everyone she meets all because of her anger issues.
 * 7) *She's extremely rude to her grandmother Louisa Pierce at one scene.
 * 8) *She's also rude to Mr. Miyagi even when she first met him, she judges Mr. Miyagi's teaching from Miyagi-Do and when Mr. Miyagi congrats her for doing a kick correctly, she asks for a belt instead, you can't get belts for just one perfect kick.
 * 9) *Sometimes she's even rude to her boyfriend Eric McGowen.
 * 10) Speaking of Eric McGowen, Julie's relationship with Eric is just forced, bland, and dull.
 * 11) No character development what so ever, except at the end of the film.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) As previously mentioned in WSS #6 Julie's behavior improves throughout the film where she ends up becoming a bit more likable.
