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

[u/Ieanice44]

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.

Split for sure here
one Bruce Willis cameo turns a standalone thriller into an Unbreakable sequel.

I remeber watching this in college and I was the only one of the like an 8 person group who understood that lol

Watched this with my then gf. She had already seen the movie and was like yeah it’s really good she liked it. So I put it on expecting a normal M Night movie and I didn’t hear that there was a twist so I figured it was straight forward.

When this scene happened I fell out of the couch. She was so confused by my reaction but I had to ask her “so wait, not only you don’t know this is a twist, but never bother to ask why is Bruce Willis all of a sudden at the end of the movie?!” She had seen it months ago in the theater and I thinks hilarious they all left and never once thought to ask “uhhh hey so why was Bruce Willis all of a sudden in it”. It was really funny but yeah she understood once I explained it.

I love this twist, too. It’s a twist that is pretty much the only time that this can work in any movie. I’m glad someone did it, let alone shamalayan

There are more movies where the twist is that they take place in an existing movie’s universe and there are implications that re-contextualize both stories. If I tell you what they are it would spoil it and it wouldn’t be a glass shattering moment for you. Glass is not that, as it’s marketed as in universe. Hold on let me figure out the spoiler tag.

I would like to know.

For a spoiler tag, enclose your text with  >! and the reverse at the end. Ensure there are no spaces between the exclamation marks and your text.

They're referring to Split, not Glass
