Do You Think After-Credits-Scenes are Marvel's Territory?

Ignore him. He thinks he is the arbiter of what should and shouldn't be conversation.

I think the after the credits scene in "Airplane!" was one of the first ever done- I seem to recall that it was very unusual. and it was done just as a punch line to the whole movie. I'm pretty certain they weren't trying to start something new, they just wanted to get in one more joke.

Marvel didn't create the end credit scene, nor should it be their territory, but they certainly made them more popular. In the five years or so before Iron Man, the only real big blockbusters I can recall using post-credit stingers were The Matrix Reloaded (even then it was just a trailer), X-Men: The Last Stand and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Compared to now when it feels like every other blockbuster has a post-credits scene, it's a big difference.

Nope. POTC, Fast & Furious and FoX-Men got there first. Not only that, a lot of the MCU ones have become pretty damn useless.

None of those films got there first.

How many people here only heard about the Nick Fury scene in Iron Man after they came home from the movies and began reading about it on the internet?

At least I stayed for it on my second viewing.

Post-credit sequences used to be short, fun additions to a movie.

But the way Marvel Studios uses them, to tease upcoming movies, they can have that all for themselves. Most of the times they're forced and uninteresting. James Gunn did an awesome job on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, though. But he kept it all in context. No teasers about Spider-Man or anything else.

Studios should focus more on what's in the movie itself, rather than what they could possibly do in sequels and spin-offs. One step at a time.

The Marvel films are fully serialized and their productions overlap.

Kevin Feige is much closer to a show runner than a traditional film producer.


The teases for future films don't bother me most of the time. What I find infuriating are the times they have in fact allowed those teases to interfere with the actual movie. Thor The Dark World ends with two of the characters paying an awkwardly shot visit to thrown together set for the Collector's compound from Guardians of the Galaxy. That should have been after the credits. Instead the actual ending of the film, Thor and Jane reuniting on earth got shoved off after the credits. That is terrible.

Yes they did in terms of the modern era long form franchise, Drax.

Kinda wish studios used them less to tease future films, expecialy because most of the time they don't even know how they're going to do the sequels or how these post-credits scenes will tie into that. For example, Pirates of the Caribbean's first 3 films had post-credits scenes that were either jokes or served as epilogues. In the context they worked. Yet, the last 2 instalments have added them as teases for sequels that might not even happen. That's just forced and pointless.

Even though with Marvel they're sometimes badly placed (Thor: The Dark World, as was previously mentioned), for the most part, Marvel seems to know where they're going to lead.

Most of the time now, i'm glad there are no post-credits scenes. Wonder Woman didn't need one. And to be honest, Suicide Squad didn't need one either, since it repeated stuff we already knew from Batman v Superman.

Marvel's territory? No.
They are just well known for it but that's just it.

I always sit through the credits, even for serious dramas I know don't have anything afterwards. I've done it as far back as I can remember.

Same. Gives me a chance to wind down and/or enjoy the music.

 

[dude stannis]

I prefer to do that at home. Especially with Star Wars movies.

People shouldn't leave before the credits are over.
