If you pretend to realism, as this show has, and you pretend powers work in specific ways, you, the writer of the show, have to engage your brain before casually using wacky comics stuff. There's tons and tons of stuff from the comics that MCU and indeed the Netflix shows knew was far too silly or just plain dimwitted to bring into a TV series or movie which wasn't pure vague fantasy.If the powers are vague and mystical and highly supernatural, then sure, it's all out of the window, but touch is touch is touch and paint is paint is paint. These are everyday things, and magnifying touch doesn't change what it is or what paint is.This is absolutely NOT the same thing as a true unknowable supernatural power (like, say Wolverine's regeneration, or Nightcrawler's teleportation, or indeed Matt Murdoch's sense of hearing, or even the degree to which his touch might be sensitive, and him able to assemble an image in his mind) which I agree, it's not worth arguing with. If I'm missing something from the comic books and Daredevil is supposed to be psychic, clairvoyant, specifically, then sure I take that back, it's fine. But super-touch? This is too silly on its own terms!As I said too, what really shows this was an actual screw up, is that they could trivially have dealt with this by having it be charcoal drawing (which the guy was doing). Charcoal leaves a thin layer on the paper, and if pressed hard, indents it too. Just brain-off writing. Like the weird behaviour and the obvious plot-hole in the bank robbery episode (i.e. that the robber with the shotgun would know it was Matt Murdoch who took him out). No wonder the previous showrunner got the chop.</blockquote>
