Decision. My

Scene-sequel is all about tension.

A scene ratchets up the tension, while the sequel relaxes it and gives the reader time to breathe. Tension can be caused by the creation of a problem, the worsening of a problem, or an attempt to resolve the problem, since any attempt to solve a problem has the chance of making it worse (or causing new and different problems). The sequel is space that the writer gives to readers during which the problems do not grow.

This scene from the final battle in The Avengers illustrates scene-sequel quite nicely. It contains two scenes and two sequels. Since it's part of a larger action sequence it's the sequels that stand out. The first is Black Widow and Captain America's conversation about solving the problem, and the second is when Hulk punches out Thor.

Humor relieves tension very quickly.
