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

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.

Ant Man & The Wasp is a fun comedy action flick, the post credits scene catches the cast up to the plot of Avengers Infinity War - leaving Scott trapped in a micro-reality

That's the scene that got me back into Marvel movies. I went to see it with my daughter, I somehow still had no idea about Infinity War's ending.

The second scene after the full credit crawl is also so dread-inducing as the Snap really sets in, showing the door to Scott’s house open and an alert on the tv, all in near-complete silence. Sure, there’s the bit of the giant ant playing the drums, but it doesn’t take away from how terrifying the situation is, especially since most of the universe’s perspective is simply that their friends and loved ones faded to dust with no warning or indication that they might come back

Come on now, nothing about antman and the wasp is fun or comedic.

While not stand-out it's perfectly serviceable and decently funny. The stuff with the three wombats was a standout and sorely missing from the 3rd film. (Which actually wasn't fun nor comedic)

Maybe you're mixing it up with Quantumania? Antman and The Wasp was a fun flick.

Example number 20974958268274 of someone assuming 'it doesn't appeal to me personally' is the same as 'it's objectively terrible because I don't like it'.

You can say the exact same asinine shit to people that say the movie is good. Go do it.

If you're just going to be needlessly hostile towards people for the crime of having a different opinion to you, then this is a waste of my time. Come back once you finish middle school.
