• Luke Cage is using his open hand instead of a closed fist. It's a little disrespectful but it's very effective. Some people call it a pimp slap, we call it smack-fu. He's doing you a favour by hitting you with an open hand. It hurts, it renders you unconscious but you live.

• You take your audience through such a story where they have to invest their energy and emotion, and to slap them in the face with, "Well, this is how life is.
