i mean, if i recall correctly (i may not, so will watch again) but if i recall correctly, Clint (who has done this kinda thing for a career) was all iced-up and stuff, while Kate, whom has JUST started this street fightin thng, has a band-aid on her chin....just seemed like she'd have at least a little more initial repercussions to me.

but sure, yeah, i didnt know the track suit mafia are supposed to be kinda jokes in the comic. that does help.

oh yeah, imo, conversely, Natasha would've wiped those cats up with her eyes closed, and woulda been crackin jokes the whole time!
