Interesting that they choose Heather Glenn out of all Matt's other romantic relationships in the comics...but knowing the MCU she'll probably be Heather in name only especially since her storyline is pretty grim and I doubt they'll go that route on a Disney+ show.
But what does this mean for my MattKirsten agenda though :(

Heather: "Matt, that super-hero swinging by--! He could almost be Daredevil!"
Matt (thinking): "I doubt that, Heather--since I'm Daredevil. On the other hand, whoever our young stalwart is, he's very good..."
Iron Fist vol. 1 #11 by Chris Claremont, John Byrne, D. Warfield, Dan Adkins, and J. Costanza
*(Flash Iron Fist Fact: The two guys creeping on Heather in the background are Marvel writer/editor Roger Stern and Jim Shooter.)
Here's Heather Glenn/Chris Claremont with some pretty incredible thirty-year foreshadowing...
Today (February 19th, 2024) marks the 50th anniversary of the first appearance of Iron Fist/Danny Rand in Marvel Premiere #15! The above page from almost exactly three years later was, though tiny and brief, technically the first crossover between the Iron Fist and Daredevil series. Danny liked Matt almost immediately when they did eventually meet in-person (Matt took a little more time to warm up to Danny, but that's Matt for you), and they would end up becoming close friends--with Danny, as mentioned, even filling in as Daredevil for a little while during the "Civil War" event and in the Brubaker/Lark DD run.

Daredevil #166 (Mckenzie/Miller, Sept 1980). Matt nearly misses Foggy’s wedding when the Gladiator takes some children and his social worker hostage. There’s a psychological bent to this book that feels fresh — Gladiator’s motives and methods feel like they’re being told by more mature creators.

It’s so wild cause on the whole there is so much really great material that came out of Frank Miller writing Daredevil. He is a skilled writer, and for me it was during his run that Matt really became the first version of the nuanced character we know today. But time and time again Miller proved his deep-set misogyny and his inability to write a complex female character with the same care and respect his male characters get. The best example of this of course being Heather Glenn’s arc and how Matt treats Heather, because the way he talks to her especially around the time he asks her to marry him is so jarring and out of character because it’s not Matt!! It’s Miller’s own misogyny bleeding through like a stuck fucking pig!! And it makes me so crazy because there’s so much lost from otherwise really compelling story arcs when you treat your women like this. It makes me insane I’m literally gnawing at the bars like.

I did like Natasha's speech at the end of Guardian Devil about how Matt needs to reevaluate the way he thinks of and treats the women in his life, but beginning of the speech discussing his exes was noticeably lacking mention of Heather. And while I understand why Nat in particular would be hesitant to bring Heather up, it is Matt's fault that she killed herself, not Natasha and Foggy's. Matt intentionally emotionally and financially abused her specifically so that he would be the only thing she had in her life, and while I personally do tend to blame that on Frank Miller's misogyny, not Matt's, if we're going to be discussing his misogyny in text, particularly in relation to his partners, Heather absolutely has to be addressed

remember when Foggy (not knowing Matt was Daredevil) had Natasha forge a note from his fiance saying she wanted to break up and that it actually would matter because he could feel her handwriting but Foggy didn't know that? Unless Matt had a history of being able to feel the difference in handwriting that he'd told Foggy about... and Nat ALSO forged a note to the fiance.... from a blind man who only typed notes for that reason. What the fuck was that about?
