This is practically a theme of the show.

I kept thinking "his nose is right there! right there!", I mean, if eyes work then the soft tissues in the back of the sinuses should do fine as well right?

Luke Cage still has vulnerable spots, though. They're just less common and/or ambiguous or never really made clear - from what we've seen DD could poke him pretty hard in the eye and cause a lot of trouble, or suffocate him in some way.

Just because the Avengers exist on that world doesn't mean that the Avengers movies do. It's probably just that no one knows much about Scarlet Witch. (And also her powers at least seem more visible/involve things you can see happening/etc. rather than everyone just abandoning their autonomy whenever they're in his…

I think in a few scenes we see him pointing at places he wants people to go, but that could also be a clarification of something he said earlier so I don't know. His influence does seem to extend to a general desire to be helpful/cooperative with him in some scenes too, though, so probably he could still exert some…

It's also the quickest way of getting some things across - you can mime out a lot of stuff, but when what you want to get across is something like "put the gun down" or "you there get in a fight with that guy" and there's any kind of time pressure on it yelling is probably going to be your best/only option.

They seem to come along with a kind of general "you want to do what I want you to do" aspect, or at least people seem to go along with stuff he's doing without being explicitly commanded to not, e.g., put some bleach in that serum as well when he's not looking. So at least that much would probably still work.

And… in that case it's what I said only with an additional bit about his powers allowing him influence over the phone which, I think I pointed out, is probably wrong?

This is exactly right: with a lot of interior walls a normal person could knock a hole in one without too much trouble as long as they didn't hit one of the studs or pick a load bearing one. They're just drywall and some plaster stuck over a wooden frame.

The constant end-of-the-movie teases drive me nuts at this point. For god's sake Marvel you don't need to try to build anticipation for your next movie: we know you're going to make another movie and that we're going to watch it. Every time you make one your banker has to buy new paper for his printer because the…

I think that was just an explanation for why Luke was still under his control more than twelve hours later - part of the bit where she made him sleep it off was that after twelve hours they figured he was safe because any remaining suggestions from Kilgrave wouldn't work anymore. But then it turned out that Kilgrave…

Finding a pill bottle somewhere in an alley or out on the street (under cars? in vents? trash bins? litter? etc.), who knows how far away because he threw it hard enough to go through a window (and she doesn't know which one because it went through blinds so she would have had to run around checking windows until she…

His interactions with Luke Cage make me wonder if Kilgrave actually has any real idea how his powers work, or what they're doing. On the one hand, earlier on he has that line about 18 seconds where he didn't command Jessica to do anything until the effects of his control wore off (for a very short time). But on the…

I think this is exactly right, and put better than I did.

If you think about it, there's a sort of a parallel there to how Simpson acts in the show, as well, though Simpson is not at all endearing about it whereas this guy is clearly just kind of awkward and doesn't know how to approach the situation and so he's trying to be useful somehow.

I think it's easy to see why someone wouldn't necessarily see Kilgrave as threatening, or at least not appreciate it on a visceral level, if their only encounter with him was the vaguely pathetic (super manipulative but, well, manipulating the people watching) person in the glass box.

This is a pretty pointed part of the show, too, which hammers home a pretty significant feature of abusive relationships.

Robyn is the one that frees him - the others don't see him before she does it. And she's the one who has never met him.

I think it's possible to do Iron Fist while keeping to the general emotional palette of shows so far - especially if they're leading to a Luke Cage/Danny Rand/Misty Knight(?) type ensemble series. I mean, it's hard to see how they can get away from the "hugs a dragon hard enough to get a badass tattoo and then sticks…

I would believe that there was a bit right at the end that I'm not going to spoil where she could have been learning that she may have also been involved in the stuff the organization that gave Jessica her powers was up to.
