Yeah, exactly. Clint's heart is what makes him Clint, which is why he's so dangerous without it.
"a fool who wears his heart on his sleeve"
Normally, I try to avoid Snape parallels with Loki but it was too obvious not to use that phrase...
Just came back from seeing it a fourth time and I was astounded by the realisation that every speech Loki made about 'other people' was really about him. When he talks to the crowd about the mad rush for freedom and identity, he's the one who's lost and searching for an identity, not them. When he talks to Natasha about how she lies and kills while serving liars and killers, when he tells her that the horrors are a part of her and will never go away - that's ALL HIM. He tells himself that he's better than the Chitauri and that he'll rule the Earth and make it a better place, but he's lying to himself.
And I also noticed that the movie uses Steve being wrong about Tony to distract the audience from the fact he's right about everything else. *lol*

God, I love Whedon's writing.
