A point blank shotgun blast to the chin cause him to be concussed. It was like a very powerful uppercut.
I can weigh in on this (or mass in on it...haaaa!).
A punch from a human fist transfers MUCH more kinetic energy to the recipient than the bullet or shotgun pellets.
It comes in the form of momentum. This is why a punch from a strong martial artist can literally knock you off your feet (and really strong fighters can punch you so hard that it fly through the air for a few feet, too) and why even a heavy slug only jolts you (if you're wearing body armor that can stop it).
As far as accelerating the brain, inside the skull, very quickly, to cause a concussion, a punch is much more likely to do so to Luke than shotgun blast. The scenario is just plain stupid. If you could wear a very safe helmet that would prevent all damage but transfer all kinetic energy to your head, you wouldn't get knocked out. There just isn't enough momentum behind the pellets, all together, to accelerate your brain enough.
It's just shitty scientific writing. But that's how it is in almost everything.
I have to agree about the spoiler tags. That is why I avoided the thread until I'd watched the series. Perhaps it might be best to make two threads, one dedicated to the first half of the season and the other to the second. I mean I'd give it a few more days and then I think people should expect spoilers.
But yeah in the comics Purple Man can

Also it's just plain hard for me to resist highlighting spoiler tags.
Second-highest rated live superhero show by popular vote - well done Jessica Jones. Beaten only by Daredevil, Jessica Jones has a rating of 8.8 from more than 15, 000 viewers. Will be interesting to see if that rating goes up or down as more viewers vote. So far, Netflix and Marvel are proving to be a formidable combination.

And the researchers say that men can't relate to female protagonists....
Well you don't have to relate to a main character to enjoy the show. I can't relate to Superman, but I enjoyed certain movies and tv shows about him.
As for Daredevil that is where this gets weird for me. I couldn't get past the first episode of Daredevil. It wasn't bad..I just found it a bit boring. I'm sure it picks up after a few episodes so I will probably have to give it another shot.
