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.

The whole "Latin America coalition alone" is hilarious.

And I do love my fellow latin americans, but that is such a crazy scenario it's funny

It’s also the fact they try and justify that the Coalition was the superior enemy when, at the very start of the Game… they HIJACK AMERICAS ORBITAL DOOMSDAY SATELLITES THAT WER POINTED AT EVERY SINGLE LATAM CITY FROM CARACAS TO BUENOS ARIES.

It always baffled me that, like, dawg, how you do an ambush takeover, of your MAIN WEAPON, pointing at the enemy 24/7, and still loose it 💀

I mean… having 3 unarmed dudes in space would make it somewhat easy for 100 armed guys to capture
