Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: What the Post Credits Scenes Mean for the MCU’s Future

New DVD releasecredits, future, legend, rings, scenes, shang

The following article contains spoilers for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. With Black Widow set largely in the past, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is technically the feature film kickoff to Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the exception of the end credits scenes, it’s the first Phase 4 feature set in the aftermath of the Thanos Snap or Blip, and it introduces a set of characters and a region of the MCU that we have not yet explored. But like every Marvel movie, Shang-Chi also includes two scenes at the end…

This article contains Cruella spoilers. Disney’s latest live-actioner, Cruella, is a prequel to 101 Dalmatians which sees Emma Stone’s budding fashion designer Estella begin to grow into her villainous alter-ego Cruella de Vil.

Resident Evil Village Ending and Post-Credits Scene Explained

New DVD releasecredits, ending, explained, resident, scene, village

This article contains Resident Evil Village spoilers. While there’s been no shortage of Lady Dimitrescu memes in the months leading up to Resident Evil Village‘s release, it’s funny to think that all of the game’s trailers, previews, and demos barely told us anything about the sequel’s actual plot. We knew it would star Ethan Winters, we knew it involved a creepy village filled with retro horror threats, and we knew the internet was desperate for the attention of tall vampire ladies everywhere, but many of the most important questions about the game’s lore remained unanswered. Why does Chris appear to shoot…

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier End Credits Scene Explained: What it Means for the MCU

New DVD releasecredits, explained, falcon, means, scene, soldier, winter

This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 6 spoilers. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is over and it ended with one doozy of a post-credits scene. Sharon Carter is back, and she’s apparently flipped on the United States.  At the end of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier episode 6, Sharon finally gets her pardon. Senator Government Official (no, seriously, he’s credited as “Government Official” in the credits), the unnamed, definitely not Senator Kelly guy who has been moving the plot forward all show, sits in an extremely insecure presumably Intelligence Committee hearing room and offers…

Coming 2 America: Why You Need to Stay for the Mid-Credits Scene

New DVD releaseamerica, coming, credits, scene

This article contains Coming 2 America spoilers. Coming 2 America came out in a very different era from the original 1988 movie. Clearly. In some ways that’s a good thing, with the belated comedy sequel gently critiquing the sexism in some of the earlier Eddie Murphy movie’s humor, such as the use of attractive female “bathers” in the fairy tale land of Zamunda—wherein they must “clean” their patriarchal princes and kings every morning. In Coming 2 America, the objectification goes both ways when Leslie Jones gets into the tub. That’s progress… I guess? And in other areas, Coming 2 America…

WandaVision Episode 9: Post-Credits Scenes Explained

New DVD releasecredits, episode, explained, scenes, wandavision

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. After nine episodes, WandaVision has wrapped up with a tremendous series finale episode. Agatha Harkness and Tyler Hayward’s plans have been foiled. Vision has ceased to exist in one sense, while a version of him continues to exist in another sense. Westview is freed, all except for one doomed citizen. Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, has moved on to find out what she truly is. Then, as we’re tipped off by the lack of Disney+ asking us if we want to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron next, we get two different post-credits scenes. Each one…

WandaVision Episode 8 Post Credits Scene Explained

New DVD releasecredits, episode, explained, scene, wandavision

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. The first six episodes of WandaVision were something of a Marvel Cinematic Universe rarity in that it was completely devoid of mid-credits or post-credits scenes. No teasers, no stingers, no jokes that didn’t fit in the regular story. But as the pace of WandaVision revelations picks up, so come the stingers. And while the post credits scene that accompanied last week’s episode was more of a tease than anything else, WandaVision episode 8 has a huge post-credits scene. SWORD and Director Hayward The scene opens with SWORD director Hayward hearing that his team is ready…

WandaVision Episode 7 Post Credits Scene Asks More Questions Than it Answers

New DVD releaseanswers, credits, episode, questions, scene, wandavision

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. WandaVision episode 7 finally gives us a post-credits scene. Yes, the tried and true MCU tradition has finally made its way to one of the Marvel Studios Disney+ shows. Sure, you could probably argue that the fact that the first few episodes had “sitcom credits” before the actual credits rolled was kind of a meta-joke about the credits themselves being the post-credits scenes on this show (and I’m not entirely sure that wasn’t intentional), but in terms of an actual stinger or tease for future episodes? Nothing until now. But the thing is, this isn’t…

New DVD releasecredits, explained, scene, woman, wonder

This article contains Wonder Woman 1984 spoilers. We have a spoiler free review here. There’s a lot going on throughout Wonder Woman 1984‘s (very long) runtime.

Diana mentions that she has tried to find Asteria since she arrived in “our” world, but so far hasn’t had any luck. It’s presumed that Asteria is lost to history.…

His Dark Materials Season 2 Ending: What Does the Post-Credits Scene Mean?

New DVD releasecredits, ending, materials, scene, season

Warning: contains spoilers for His Dark Materials season two and The Amber Spyglass That’s the lid closed on season two. Like Lyra, His Dark Materials is all packed away for the time being. The episode’s closing scene showed our hero kidnapped and drugged and stashed in a steamer trunk by her mother, who was promising to take her somewhere safe. Having learned that Lyra was destined to be the new Eve – the fate of every world resting on a choice she was foretold to make – Mrs Coulter vowed to stop her daughter from bringing about another Fall.

Fargo Season 4 Finale Post-Credits Scene Explained

New DVD releasecredits, explained, fargo, finale, scene, season

This Fargo article contains spoilers for the season 4 finale. Fargo season 4’s finale, “Storia Americana,” wraps up an uneven season of FX’s crime series about as effectively as one could have hoped. The hour is thematically consistent, if a little short (which may have had something to do with the final two episodes’ abbreviated COVID-19 production schedule). In true Fargo fashion, the season ends with plenty of our main characters dead. Josto Fadda (Jason Schwartzman) is killed for not properly realizing the power of his own family (and for a simple misunderstanding with killer nurse Oraetta Mayflower), while Loy…

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Post-Credits Scene Explained

New DVD releasecredits, explained, marvel, miles, morales, scene, spider

This Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales article contains spoilers. Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales tells an epic but personal story over the course of its approximately 15-hour campaign, which ends in explosive fashion, with Miles bidding farewell to his tragically misguided best friend Phin Mason/The Tinkerer high above Roxxon Plaza when she gives her life to set right all the reckless things she did in her revenge crusade against the evil tech corporation.  It’s a great game in and of itself, but it’s also a part of the larger Spidey-verse that Insomniac is building with its Marvel games, with references to…

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episode 4 Post-Credits Scene Explained

New DVD releasebeyond, credits, episode, explained, scene, walking, world

This The Walking Dead: World Beyond feature contains spoilers. To understand what happens after the credits roll on The Walking Dead: World Beyond episode 4, one needs to look a little further back in The Walking Dead history. The final sequence of Rick Grimes’ last Walking Dead episode “What Comes After” features an anguished Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) on a walkie-talkie, communicating with a mysterious helicopter. “I have a B,” she announces. “Not an A, I never had an A.” The “B” she has is a delirious, impaled Rick Grimes, making his final appearance on The Walking Dead as a lead…

Netflix’s Hollywood: The Real History of Peg Entwistle and Opening Credits Explained

New DVD releasecredits, entwistle, explained, history, hollywood, netflix, opening

This article contains some Hollywood spoilers. The story of Peg Entwistle, and the voluminous newspaper copies her death sold, is at the heart of Hollywood’s first season. The Ryan Murphy produced Netflix series even makes the tragic iconography associated with her suicide the basis of its opening credits—but with a twist. Whereas the real Peg Entwistle flung herself from the top of the H of the “Hollywoodland” sign in 1932—back before it had simply become “Hollywood”—the entire younger half of the Hollywood ensemble cast scales up the sign together as a team in the new TV show’s credits. The meaning…
