Karate Kid Sequel

I don't know how far they'll take this yet, but I really don't want for Kreese to have been bullied and have some sob story. I don't want to like him. I don't want to like him.
I had a similar thought about Kreese's backstory, but then I began to believe that they are showing the flipside of what happens to victims of bullying, they become psycho school shooters.
