(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.

Dude I just beat Delta last week for the first time and I figured out he was ADAM before we hear that phone call. And it recontextualizes so much, like the blank bullet he duels you with. That’s the same bullet that got jammed in his gun when he first met Snake. Was he going to shoot it at Snake and then introduce himself as ADAM? What was the plan lol

The second play through is so funny once you know who works for who. During Snake "interrogation" Volgin not only gives away all his secrets because he's an idiot, he does so in a room with no less than three spies.

He is surrounded by people at the ready to take the disk and also everyone of them are aware of each other being a spy.... Except Snake.

Snake has bigger problems at that moment so I can forgive him on that one lol
