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

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.
