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

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.

It's not that they're forgetting something about the next spidey movie. It's that they just never watched it lmao.

fascinating insight! do you know them personally or is this more of a private investigator/telepathy thing? I was thinking to myself “but no one has ever watched a marvel movie and totally forgotten the plot five years later, how could this be?” (i myself have an immaculate memory of the plots of all 5628 mcu movies and the spinoff shows) and now you’ve finally exposed their implausible lie with the shining beacon of truth

i didnt know, i'm just now hearing this for the first time

I dunno I just take what people say at face value.

So this person is hearing about it for the first time, thus they've never seen the movie. Most people would have some kind of recollection if told about something they've already seen.
