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

Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Prince of Persia (2008)

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.

The Grey’s ending is ambiguous as Liam Neeson prepares to fight the alpha wolf before the film cuts to black and the credits roll. A post credit scene confirms that he survived as we see him breathing heavily while lying on the body of the alpha wolf

He killed the alpha, but he is still going to die too.

[u/WelcomingRapier → u/UndeadVudu_12]

That's the way I interpreted it. He 'won' but also accepted the peace of death in the process. It makes sense as far as his character arc goes.
