Thor has always been a comic favorite of mine but I note that in the Thor movie with Natalie Portman, Thor was knocked unconscious by a tazer from Kat Dennings.
At that point in the first Thor film, Thor's been stripped of his hammer and armour and, in theory, may have been sapped of some of his strength and durability as well. I don't remember Odin's exact wording, but he banished his son to Earth for a bit to live among them and learn humility, so the only way to really accomplish that would be to remove his god-like (compared to us humans' capabilities) strength. Thor still had about as much strength as a human of his size and fitness level, plus he still had who-knows-how-many-centuries-or-millenia of fighting experience and know-how and battle experience (we never do find out how old he is, do we?). But he wouldn't take a tazing as well as a gifted/a supersoldier like Jessica, in his reduced state.
Just my theory.
Or maybe, even if banished-Thor
was
at his full, natural Asgardian strength and durability, maybe Jessica's just stronger than Asgardian royalty and can withstand being tazed better than any of them can. -

Man I wish I had a nickel for every "should I keep watching" or "does it get better" thread.
Walk up to kilgrave witb qaulity earplugs, break his jaw. Its over
Try that and see what happens. What if he has bodyguards with him that he has hired? What if he has mind-controlled some gym rats to kill anyone that touches him? What if he manages to tell you to pull out your own eyes despite his broken jaw? What if he simply mimes the idea to you and you understand what he wants?
But to answer the spirit of your question: Not everyone loved this show. So you might not either. The only way to know for sure if you'll like it is to watch it. Or if you don't feel it's worth watching then don't.
Reading my signature constitutes admission that I am correct. (Too late) -

Some of the posters here really frustrate me because it's obvious they were only half paying attention when watching.
"Walk up to kilgrave witb qaulity earplugs, break his jaw. Its over, but whats the fun in that? And logic?"
Because that would be incredibly suicidal. For one thing, even if you were rendered unable to hear commands, you'd have no idea what the people around you were being commanded to do. There's also the fact that Kilgrave could simply bypass that by just shouting his commands at you, since most earplugs don't cancel out all noise.
If posters here had paid attention to the show or just used their brains a little bit, they wouldn't have these stupid complaints. This show is very well written and complex and they directly address the issues that people seem to have with it.
