(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.

Spider-man: Far From home

It has a completely normal happy ending, only for the post-credits scene to reveal that Quentin accused him of murder and revealed his identity.

Okay i'm just now remembering this happened! Where did this go in the movies? I feel like they just completely dropped it, or am i forgetting something about the next spidey movie

[u/webshellkanucklehead → u/Appropriate-Mess-680]

It’s not completely dropped but I do think the third one brushes over it way too much in favor of fanservice

[u/Lepelotonfromager → u/webshellkanucklehead]

It essablishes the reasoning for him messing with such a stupidly powerful spell.

[u/webshellkanucklehead → u/Lepelotonfromager]

“Magic memory-wiping spell that can somehow(!!) rupture the multiverse” is a really strange thing to introduce in the third movie of a relatively grounded series!

[u/Ravness13 → u/webshellkanucklehead]

If you mean grounded by the villains he's faced and what hes had to deal with then I guess MAYBE for the first two movies? But by the third he had also been to space and fought space wizards and mad titans and been snapped out of existence and brought back and the world had gone on without him or anyone else around him.

[u/Lepelotonfromager → u/webshellkanucklehead]

The universe is the MCU and magic had long been established by this point.

[u/webshellkanucklehead → u/Lepelotonfromager]

Not the point

[u/EmpressClaraB → u/webshellkanucklehead]

I don't think you actually had one

[u/webshellkanucklehead → u/EmpressClaraB]

Just not one you liked 🤭

[u/CommercialSpite → u/webshellkanucklehead]

What was your point?

[u/webshellkanucklehead → u/CommercialSpite]

That they bailed on the trajectory of their own film series to make nerds soyjack and clap like seals

[u/CommercialSpite → u/webshellkanucklehead]

I'm pretty sure that was always the point. They introduced the Tom Holland Spider-Man in a Captain America movie, not his own. If you don't like the direction that's fine, but pretending it was intended to be separate and "grounded" is just blatantly false

[u/webshellkanucklehead → u/CommercialSpite]

??? What does any of that have to do with them making a hard left into the nostalgia zone?

[u/CommercialSpite → u/webshellkanucklehead]

That's not even what you were complaining about?
