Guys, if you had to jump to conclusions, would you think Foggy was not exactly (or only) hetero based on the cues by the show? They put those things in the series for a reason, and it's not like they're pulling the same things from the comics, so. The show uses some pretty stock stereotypes...
Not just appreciating Matt's pretty right away which was very blatant, but Foggy's singing showtunes (look, I know plenty of straight people love showtunes, but I'm pointing at stereotypes here) and mentions poppers in the same scene, and he more or less builds his whole professional life around Matt. The whole Maverick and Goose thing (Goose died, and he was married) was a really funny nod, too, and the minute he has that falling out with Matt, he runs to Marci and they have some (back-channeling again?) presumably drunk, violent sex since she seems to pleased with him (he was 'actually good').
We don't get as many nods for Matt but he's seemingly doing the jealous tripping with his cane thing when he accuses Foggy of chasing a girl via Punjabi class (instead of taking Spanish with Matt), and he's obviously flirting with Foggy in the Uni scene when Foggy's asking why none of Matt's girlfriends work out and what Matt is looking for. Matt 'looks' at Foggy meaningfully and says he's looking for someone he really likes listening to. And Foggy laughs, and Matt laughs, and nothing else is said about it. Of course, in retrospect the only time 'it ever works out' for Matt is his relationship with Foggy, which has outlasted everyone. If they have commitment issues with anyone else, they don't have them with each other.
Matt and Foggy have that 'sounds like we're getting married' scene, which is apropos, and then they have their awful breakup scene with Foggy asking 'was anything ever real with us'? Which still breaks my heart. What other stereotypical nods am I missing?
But if you'd never read a comic nor had any idea who Daredevil was before the show, would you assume Matt and Foggy had a romantic thing in University just based off the show?
