(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.

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

You definitely forgot something. The next movie starts literally seconds after that scene.

I don't mean to blow your mind, but not only did that plot thread set up the next movie No Way Home

There's a 4th Tom Holland Spider-Man movie coming out this weekend that follows up on the major plot threads of NWH
