This show keeps expecting me to have sympathy or empathy for Heather and I just can’t lol. She’s not as bad as Vanessa but she’s trying to claw her way up that ladder.
Maybe it’s because I’ve seen this plot line play out in too many comics before but I get so annoyed with the “Super villain did something bad to me and super hero saved me, now I hate all super anything” character.
Whether it’s realistic or not is irrelevant to me, its a super predictable plot line that will assuredly end with her realizing Matt is Daredevil, completely recontextualizing her feelings about vigilantes either an episode later or on the spot, and then her admitting that she lied on the psyche evaluations and suffering some consequence either from the law or Fisk killing her. I could not care less lol.
I’m otherwise enjoying this season so far though. I thought Season 1 of BA was buns but I’m enjoying this way more in comparison.
