Re: Iron Fist's punch vs Matt's hearing/equilibrium

It did. There's a scene where after a punch, Matt is covering his ears and clearly struggling with the sound.

I don't remember which ep. that was, sorry. One of the later ones, I think. (I'm sure someone else will be happy to help you out with that, if you need it.)

DA
It's episode 6 but I think the ano means exactly that. Matt was affected when the first hit Luke yet not against the sword or the hand warriors

Ah. Okay, I see your point. Adrenaline thing? That sword was about to kill him, if I remember correctly. Not really a moment in which you think about one of your senses being uncomfortable.

Alternatively, we can just pile it onto that heap with all the other plot holes and inconsistences.

Different/new anon here; I just rewatched ep 3, &, compared to ep (5? 6? the other one), there's way less of a ~visible shock wave. The punch in ep 5/6 throws even Danny himself back, whereas the one in 3 just breaks the sword & tosses Electra back-so it looks like the force of the punch in ep 3 was just much less.

Also, it does take a second or two after Danny holds out his hand for Matt to take it & stand up--could be because he was assessing Danny, but could also be because he was a little stunned. So it's maybe a bit of a plot hole, but I don't think one of the biggerones.
