You can't obtain information that doesn't exist. That's the problem here. It's not that information is "hard to discover", it's that via that vector of investigation (touching but not disrupting/damaging), that information simply doesn't exist.And further, the show points out how impossible it is, ironically, by having Matt need someone else to read printed documents for him! Which, with most (not all, admittedly, but the ones used for normal printing in a law firm) printing methods, even monochrome laser, will have the tiniest, tiniest raised-ness to it, in the shape of the letters. That should be much, much easier. So we have inconsistency. That information does at least exist, it's just implausibly small.I suspect this is down to old showrunner/new showrunner, as Karen even being in the show is down to new showrunner, who I think has a more grounded and thought-through ideas on DD's powers.Yes. The other examples are actual physically possible within the logic of the show. This isn't. You don't seem to be understanding what I'm saying about paint (but I'm not sure). Literally everyone else seems to, so I'm not going to argue it further, but this isn't like disabling or killing someone by chucking a tooth into their eye when you have special throwing and precision powers, it's like doing that but with a tiny amount of candy floss or shooting them ultra-precisely with a normal (not supersoaker etc.) old-fashion squirtgun loaded with water and them instantly and messily dying or something. It's too stupid by the show's own logic. I get that it's repeating something from the comics, but as I said, that needs to be used with care.I just chalk this one up to bad writing, almost certainly from the fired showrunner.Watched the rest of the last episode - it's ok, but it doesn't seem like a particularly exciting cliffhanger. Maybe that's intentional. Also I'm not sure what that cop expected to happen lol. Did you not see what he did to your buddies? But I get it, the point is they idolize Frank to the point of being absolute idiots, and I totally believe that. Also nice to see Frank can actually socially manipulate someone if he puts his mind to it!(Also minor amusement re: the show when the cops come to idiotically attempt to capture Punisher, and he kills pretty much all of them who get close enough except the one female cop who he just KOs, which like, felt weirdly sexist/retro on behalf of the show. Like, "We can show cops being slaughtered, or civilians, but we can't show a hero kill a female cop, even though she's a violent criminal gang member and his whole entire deal is killing violent criminal gang members!". Not a big deal but I thought it was weird in such a bloody/gory scene. Like why even include a female bad cop in the scene in that case?)</blockquote>
