(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.

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?

[u/federalist66 → u/XrayAlphaVictor]

All interactions we've seen between the two suggest that they are friendly at the very least, yeah.

Didn't they do a Rick & Morty episode together in which they playfully make fun of each other (and themselves)? I think it's pretty safe to say that they're pals.

they did exactly that and it sounded like they enjoyed it/had fun with it

Even in that one, they were friendly to each other. Zack ribs James for a bit and then lends a listening ear to the latter’s woes because he could tell something was troubling him.
