Why do movies/TV have post credits scene?
Why do some movies and TV shows have an extra scene after showing credits? Movies like The Avengers and X-men are some examples. Are post-credits scenes and end-credit scenes different?
Best Answer
The post-credit scenes are used as a way to make sure you watch the entire movie, credits and all. It also provides a break between the movie and the post-credit scenes. Sometimes they're "stingers", sometimes they're bloopers, sometimes they're additional comedic bits.
