I'm conflicted here... I see why they cut that scene, but on the other hand, depriving Jeremy Renner of screen time seems like it should be covered in the Geneva Conventions as some kind of crime against humanity.

I dunno - not only for Renner but that scene adds *so* much to the Hawkeye character! they couldn't add just 2 mins more to the movie for it?????

I'm thinking more in terms of pacing... but I think they probably could have trimmed some of Loki's whining and left in the good stuff, yeah :D
