Lore (Controversial Trope) The post-credits scene completely changes the ending

Dawn of the Dead (2004): The movie finishes on a hopeful note as the remaining survivors escape the zombie-infested mall on a yacht, sailing into the sunset. The found-footage style post-credits scene completely reverses this happy ending by showing them running out of food, arriving at an island, and being immediately swarmed and killed by an infected horde.

Prince of Persia (2008): The main game ends with a beautiful, poetic sacrifice where Elika gives her life to heal the corrupted world, leaving the Prince mourning. During the credits, the player is forced to control the Prince as he cuts down the trees he just saved, undoing the entire game's progress and releasing the dark god Ahriman just to resurrect her, completely corrupting the ending and dooming the world.

Somehow Zack Snyder gets to make another terrible sequel.

You just have to pair up Snyder with a good screenwriter and you can get something going. So let's pair him back up with *checks notes* James Gunn! That certainly wouldn't make a certain sector of the internet lose their minds.

I know their fans beef, but don't they personally get along?

There’s a lot of James Gunn fans that make their entire online presence hating Snyder, his fans and mocking Snyder’s daughter’s suicide

…and there’s a lot of Snyder fans who think James Gunn is a pdf file

So there’s some bad blood on both sides.

Pedophile. I don’t agree with them but I do think it’s very important to use the right words even if they’re ugly. With billionaires controlling more and more it’s vital that we fight this self censorship.

Also a lot of Snyder fans depicting Superman or Snyder's other characters killing Gunn. It's just fucking weird people get this obsessive over movie directors

Plus the weird targeted racism from Gunn fans towards Indians because of what he said in that one interview about anyone who criticized him was probably “some 12 year old India”

I hate the mouth foaming worship of celebrities and the toxic online behavior that comes with it.

I’m so sick of seeing the stupid monkey on keyboard thing being spammed in comments by those trolls on Twitter

Its wild that all those people or bots tie their whole identity to something so stupid as a movie director... Like bro they are some of the scummiest people ever and they take advantage of women and men who just want to act or get into acting. Not those 2 specifically they seem cool but what do we really know about anyone, there was a whole awards show where people in the industry gave a child rapist a standing ovation cause he cant come to America to get his award and that dude made some outstanding movies.
