YES TO ALL OF THIS. And additionally, I really loved Natasha and Clint's relationship-- this is something that Joss *occasionally* does really well, the platonic male/female team, and he *nailed* it here. The sort of amusing thing about it (to me) is that, more than any other two characters in the movie, Natasha and Clint have the Two Guys Action Movie Bromance Relationship (ironically, the most recent example I can think of is Jeremy Renner with Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible") -- right down to Loki mocking Natasha/implying that her feelings must be romantic. "Oh, you care about Clint! Do you LOOOVE him?" "No, we are BROS, no one else gets our manpain!" That kind of deep but platonic bond almost NEVER happens with a female action hero. I loved it.
