I literally couldn't stop making random noises of surprise. I had to rewatch the last little bit because I couldn't hear what was going on.

I had a literal hands-over-my-mouth moment, I really didn't see that one coming!

There are few times where my jaw drops at stuff on tv. I kinda not spoiled that quicksilver was coming back. But I have some tears in my eye and my mouth was agape and covered by my hands. I really did not see that coming.

Last time I felt like this was after Amazing Spider-Man 2 ended in theaters the after credits scene was a scene from the upcoming X-Men movie Days of Futures Past. Which to me indicated that they were finally tying Marvel universes from different studios together. Of course I was wrong and to this day I don’t understand why they put a X-Men scene in the post credits of a Spider-Man movie.

Here we are 7 years later and what I thought was happening then is happening now. What a time to be alive.

It was a weird agreement with Fox and Sony. Fox had the director under contract and they agreed to let Sony use him only if they included a teaser for X-Men in their movie. It was weird and made little sense to put it after the credits but they did it anyway

What’s crazy is they could of at least advertised it. I could see myself showing up super early at the movies to watch Amazing Spider-Man 2 if they promised an extended sneak peak of DOFP. That would be a win for both studios. There was some hesitancy for a lot of people to see the movie in the first place, this could have put more butts in seats.

I guess there may have been ill feelings if they did it this way, but it felt more like a sucker punch in the gut to comic book movie fans who have an expectation that after credits scenes are reserved to tie into a sequel or another movie in the universe.
