10 Post-Credits Movie Scenes That Changed Everything

1. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

And finally, we have a post-credits scene that's really just a silly gag, but it's also totally sad when you really think about it.

Half-way through the film, Edgin (Chris Pine) and his fellow heroes go to a graveyard to grill a bunch of dead warriors on the whereabouts of the precious Helm of Disjunction.

The heroes cast a spell which lets them resurrect the dead and ask five questions, and after much trial and error they finally converse with an undead soldier who actually provides actionable information.

However, the heroes get all the information they need after just four questions and promptly flee the scene, and in the post-credits scene, we return to the poor corpse, who is still waiting for a fifth question before he can return to eternal slumber.

Despite again being a superficially throwaway joke, it's actually pretty horrifying on a cosmic, existential level - being roused from death to help someone and now having to wait around for however long to be set free once again.
