What we saw in The DIVERGENT Clip at Comic Con

We’ve been waiting patiently for the Comic Con clip from Divergent to be released on the interwebz so we can all fangirl over it together, but it looks like that’s not happening anytime soon. So we put our heads together to see what we could remember from the clip we saw last Thursday after doing some questionable things to get into Hall H*

*we had to reenact Thrusting Theo while singing Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines

The Atmosphere in Hall H

For you Comic Con virgins, Hall H is the space where the BIG panels are held. People camp out overnight or for days even (RIP TWILIGHT) to get into the Hall. You cannot just walk right in. Even though that’s exactly what we did….)

Bekah:So Hall H: What do you remember

Nikki: DARKNESS, LOUD MUSIC, ONE SCREEN NOT WORKING

Bekah: SCREAMS from 1 (small-ish) section of the hall

Nikki: just us clapping

Bekah: heart palpitations because we knew Theo was near

Nikki: near to our hearts and near to our loins. LITERALLY NEAR. like 10000000 feet away

Bekah: that girl we fell over when we were ushered into our seats staring at us because she didn’t know what Divergent was and why we were squeeing

Nikki: haAHAHAH. really?? Is that what she said?

Bekah: no she just kept staring

Nikki: i thought she was a fan too

Bekah: no i don’t think so

Nikki: man. just there to see ender’s game, i guess

Bekah: right

Bekah: her and that one other guy

Real Quick Storytime: In the middle of the Hall H panel when audience members could ask cast questions, a guy got up and said “I really loved the Ender’s Game book and I’m glad all of you are in the movie..” to which everyone laughed because, this joker is JOKING right? Nope. He wasn’t. So Chris Hardwicke did what any amazing (ly cute) host would do, made fun of him

What we SAW in the Divergent Clip

Bekah: So that was the atmosphere, but what did we SEE?

Bekah: it started with the scene of her jumping into the hole right? First jumper?

Bekah: which was awesome- close shots and it felt.. Scary. Or maybe I was scared that a video was going to surface of us trying to break into Hall H….

Nikki: HAHAAHAHA. i would have made it off the train and then tripped and fallen down the hole and flattened four on the other side. So tris really is a badass undercover

Bekah: smothered him with your boobs

Nikki: yes i would have suffocated him. poor thing. We have to talk about four LOOKING into tris’s eye

 

Bekah: YES.. when they first meet?

Bekah: and he asks her name?

Bekah: and she doesn’t remember it because FOUR?

Nikki: yes, and says are you sure? you can’t change it or something. Oh Four!

Nikki: so Tris is born into the dauntless. It really is like a birth, she comes falling out of a long tunnel and then wham she’s reborn a dauntless

Bekah: right.. it was like the birth canal

Nikki: into the womb of the cave or whatever it is

Bekah: i forget. do we see the train jump? I remember Neil Burger discussing it

Nikki: hmmmm i dont remember the train

Bekah: yeah maybe not. Can’t wait for that

Nikki: but we got to see a TON of training

Bekah: What’s next in the quick shots? Training?

Nikki: like punching bags and fake fighting

Bekah: Who showed up.. Peter?

Nikki: PETER

Bekah: Christina?

Nikki: ERIC. Tris on the edge

Bekah: oh ERIC- I forgot about him. He was a Comic Con no show

Nikki: some other dudes

Bekah: oh yes! They show him holding her over the edge

Nikki: that one guy from St. Louis

Bekah: hahahahhahaha. the actor from St. Louis? He plays Al, right?

Nikki: he looks like edward cullen- Yeah, AL! Oh we saw the cafeteria!

Bekah: we did? good memory.

Nikki: then let’s talk about the big moment

Bekah: Yes.. the knife?

Nikki: YES the knife throwing scene. Be still my heart

Bekah: Close up of the eyes- Specifically Theo

Nikki: Four’s gotta man up and not show he likes Tris

Bekah: and there’s another LOOK Four gives when he’s relieved that he only got her ear

Nikki: DUDE that part was like HEART.CLUCH

Bekah: that LOOK

Nikki: CLUTCH

Bekah: all the gifs and screen caps that will be made will be amazing.

Nikki: he was like visably relieved. GOOD JOB THEO

Nikki: * ACTING *

Bekah: *PAY CHECK DESERVED * that day

Nikki: yes i wish they were already on the internets

Bekah: I know. come on Summit! Give us what we want!

Nikki: after that relived look he then turns to the camera, looks into it and goes:

Nikki: cut to black

Okay that’s not really how it ended- we can’t imagine Four EVER saying that- but it was an awesome clip. Wish we had SOMETHING to show you.

Here are a few pics from our private collection to make up for it:
