And finally, after sitting through over 10 minutes of credits, audiences get to the film's coveted post-credits scene, which in a sure feat of trolling from Sam Raimi is completely throwaway and not remotely worth waiting for.

The scene cuts back to Bruce Campbell's Pizza Popper from earlier in the movie, who has finally been released from Strange's three-week self-punching spell and expresses enormous relief at being free.

While audiences were clearly expecting a scene of actual significance after staying put for so long, Raimi decided instead to play a practical joke.

He even trolls his own loyal fans a little, as when the camera eases in on Campbell it seems for a moment that he's going to say "Groovy!" in the vein of Evil Dead, and yet he only exalts the fact that he's free. Never change, Sam.
