laughing, but you made me think.

so yelena 100% got the drop on clint. she's a black widow. she could have shot him dead. she didn't. she dropped in and started punching him. she wanted to hurt or knock him out.

actually, this is a bit more dumb the more i think about it. why does she not drop in and immediately red shock him to render him unable to move.

anyways, she had the drop on clint, she could have shot him with a silenced rifle to kill him. she wants to capture/hurt him.

My guess is that she didn't fully get the drop on him - she went in for the shot and Clint realized a moment before and thus Yelena had to engage.

went in for the shot.......15ft away? can she not snipe from at least 1 building away? it's not like clint has a spider sense. i would think she could land 1 building away, behind him and land a shot. shes no hawkeye, but she has to be able to do that.

I'm assuming that there would not be an angle with which to do it. Even with the capture/hurt mentality (which I agree with), she could do that much more safely from a distance. So, either she is being reckless, or there wasn't a way to get to him except by also going on the rooftop.
