The Defenders The Defenders General Discussion Thread - Part 2

Honestly, the complaints about him not constantly using it never made sense. If you've read the comics, they made a big deal early on about how he couldn't constantly use it (iirc, his attempt to use it a third time in a day was, at first, kind of disastrous). In the show, they gave the exact same explanation spelled out that he runs out of power with it and can't use it constantly.

Granted, I wished it was more powerful when used and I wished he didn't use it flippantly or charge it to threaten without using it, but that never bothered me.

how powerful is the fist? It shattered Elektra's sword and when he punched Luke in episode 6 it was like a huge shockwave. I'd imagine if he punched 1 of those Hand goons, they should have died internally

I'm curious how much the budget was for this vs the budget for DD or Iron Fist.
