Marvel's Iron Fist: 30 WTF Moments In Netflix's First Failure

19. What The Hell Happened To Harold's Knowledge Of Pretzels?

It's easy enough to accept that each return from death would take something of the Lazarus figure's humanity away - it's sort of the same thinking that explains Voldemort losing his more with each Horcrux he created - but when Harold comes back from his watery grave, there's something strangely off with him.

Why is it that his return the second time turns him into a dribbling man-child unable to remember what pretzels and hotdogs are, or that you're not supposed to dip your hands in boiling water, and yet he's able to find his way back to Rand?

Wouldn't it just have been better to make him more evil, rather than less intelligent? And were we supposed to believe that him coughing up the swamp mud was him "curing" himself of his post-mortem stupidity?
