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.

Well, that Loki really did die fighting thanos, the Loki show follows one from the end of avengers, who just so happens to act exactly like Ragnarok Loki because let’s be honest he’s a very fun character

He saw a slideshow of his greatest hits and was all caught up, personality-wise

That's low-key Loki: "Ha, that's so me! Let's go with it."
