Why can he survive everything in his series (except alien weapons)

Plot

>>88483218
his skin is unbreakable, but kinetic force can still pass through it and effect his internals
the shotgun blast rattled his brain against his own skull

>>88483218
because GRRL POWER is better than BBC

Marvel writers are shitty writers in any medium?

Plus Netflix REALLY wanted JJ to be the HIT show for females and have an ACTUAL reasons to exists as it's OWN thing.

The blast caused some swelling in his brain, a problem that's normally easily treatable, but his powers prevented them from treating him.
Similar to what happened with those two bullets.

The shotgun exploited a particular flaw in his powers, and IIRC they didn't even know if it would work in JJ, so its not like the gangsters could replicate it.

>>88483280
But there IS a PERFECTLY acceptable reason as to WHY that shotgun blast ALMOST killed him.

The long answer is the blunt force from the shot rattled the internals of his head against the other side of his bulletproof skull. Similar to how a hard hit can give a football player a concussion, despite a lack of damage to the helmet or the surface of the player's head.

The longer answer is this same mechanic should've killed Luke when he stopped that car from flattening him and Clare, as the blunt force of that impact, despite Luke's toughness and strength, should have sent his internals vibrating inside him like a god-damn cell-phone. It didn't at that point, breaking its own in-universe rules

The short answer is really shitty writing.

I take it that his toughened muscles and body gave him extra cushion (since it extends into his muscles) whereas the shotgun hit the jaw almost directly so it was channeled straight through the bone.

If you recall, OP, in LC it wasn't the shrapnel that was causing the damage after he was shot, it was his flesh that was burrowing it deeper. His own body is the damaging part there.

>extra cushion

Not at all how the physics work, anon. Let's assume for a moment that Luke's skin and muscles could have absorbed the impulse of the impact as depicted, his body would have to exert an equal but opposite force almost instantly onto the car. In order for that to happen, Luke's squishy internals (along with the rest of him) would have to shoulder the relatively tremendous force of a speeding truck - something his skin and muscles have been established can do, but something his insides have been established cannot in Jessica Jones.

Luke would have been able to stop the truck, but he immediately should have collapse and began coughing up blood, implying his lungs still fucking exist.

The problem with Luke, unlike say Superman, is his powers don't extend far beneath the surface and it's not clear how deep you go to where he starts being human.

Fair point. My ignorance precedes me.

Holy shit, TV writers actual sat down and found a smart way to do something? Ban this show now, it's going to spread to other show writers.

>>88483280
people that capitalize random words have a ninety percent chance of being a disappointment to their parents

Because fuck tension and thinking of a creative way to beat a nearly unstoppable man when you can resort to asspulls?

Jessica Jones didn't even bother to make its main antagonist feel like anything other than an unbearable joke.
