Intro:
*Disclaimer* We’re going to open with a scene from Thor 2. Before we start it, I just want to warn you that there is a decent amount of violence, and at one point, somebody loses an arm.
So fair warning.
Now let’s watch this clip.
4 Min Thor Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e7vHTcpc54
How many of you had never seen that movie before?
How many had never seen it?
When you’re seeing this movie for the first time, You watch in horror as Loki betrays Thor IMMEDIATELY upon being released, right at the part of the plan where he’s supposed to be helping Thor win the day.
For over 2 minutes you are led to believe that things have developed very badly for the good guys, when it is finally revealed that you (and the bad guys) were supposed to think that!
The bad guys are supposed to see Thor attacked by his accomplice, and be lulled into thinking they have the upper hand.
This allows Thor to draw the “red stuff” into the open, where he can deal with it once and for all.
This scene is executed so well, because for two minutes you are convinced that everything has gone horribly awry—but once you see what was really going on, it totally changes your perspective on the part you just saw.
Everything wasn’t totally out of control.
It was going according to plan.
Loki was supposed to do what he did.
Thor was supposed to look like he’d lost a limb.
But that’s not what was actually happening.
For the people who had already seen this movie, you may have smiled or smirked and said, “oh yeah, I remember this scene.”
You experienced this whole thing differently than the rest of us.
You knew there was a plan the whole time, and that changed how you interpreted the events as they unfolded.
That brings us to our passage in tonight.
We’re going to read through it, and I want to walk us through it twice, from two different perspectives.
