There has been conflicting opinions as to whether the Peter Quill post-credit scene should be included or excluded. I've included it as of this writing, and I've opened up the topic here for a proper debate. Ooznoz (talk) 18:21, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say exclude it since it is irrelevant to the overall plot of the film. Some post-credits scenes are played for comedic effect. Edwordo13 (talk) 18:28, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You shouldn't have included it, as it's WP:STATUSQUO not to have it, and it's both in line with the MOS:FILMPLOT guideline and common practices in MCU films. The burden of proof is on those in favor of adding the post-credits scene. On why it shouldn't be included, the scene has nothing of substance, it has no bearing on the plot whatsoever, and no MCU article includes the tag of "X character will return" in the plot summary. —El Millo (talk) 18:30, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
By that reasoning, the Thor's hammer scene in "Iron Man 2" and the introductory scene of Wanda and Pietro at the end of "Winter Soldier", to name just two, should be removed from those articles. They had no bearing on the plots of their movies either.
Seriously, why do you really object to this scene? I'm not being confrontational, I just really want to know. Ooznoz (talk) 21:25, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because it's them having breakfast, there's literally nothing there. We know that there are generally two types of MCU post-credits scenes: those that directly set-up future films, and those that are jokes. The second kind we never include in plot summaries. As for the tags, we never include them either. There's a consensus among these films not to include them. So at the very least it shouldn't be there until a newly-formed consensus arrives that this should be an exception. —El Millo (talk) 21:47, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not aware of any mid- or post-credit scenes that were excluded from any MCU film article, joke or otherwise. For proof, I point to the original GotG article, where the scene with the Collector sitting with Cosmo and Howard the Duck -- clearly just a joke, with no bearing onthe story-- is mentioned. That has been in the article for YEARS without objections. So why is this so different? Ooznoz (talk) 23:11, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That post-credits scene shows the Collector survived, so that's why it's included I presume. When it comes to excluded MCU post-credits scenes, there are quite a few:
So there is a precedent for removing post-credits scenes that don't contain any actually relevant information in it, as they should ultimately be treated like any other scene in the film that doesn't have any relevant information in it. As for the "The Legendary Star-Lord will return", we don't include literally any tag, so that should obviously be removed. —El Millo (talk) 23:33, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fine. I seem to be in the minority, so do as you will. Ooznoz (talk) 00:18, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, that was quick. Glad this has been settled. Edwordo13 (talk) 13:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Late to join the party, but I agree with the removal. Per MOS:FILMPLOT, "The inclusion of mid- and post-credit scenes should be based on the same criteria used to evaluate the relevance of other scenes". Unless you can argue it's relevant, it shouldn't make the cut. Some scenes show cliffhangers and setup the plot in a future film, so exceptions are often carved out in those situations. --GoneIn60 (talk) 03:31, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Continued from the edit summaries. Trailblazer101 is quite right that I misread the source that I mentioned [1]. But further down it says in that in Vol. 3 it is "Stakar acting as a leader". I would be happy to see somebody provide some citation or other explanation for the summary's current assertion that Gamora was leading them. SilverLocust💬 05:20, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For not could you disassociate Gamora from the Ravagers for better clarity? 116.88.154.45 (talk) 15:04, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Gamora is not portrayed as the leader of the Ravagers in the film. I have updated the article but feel free to find an updated source we can use in the cast list. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:29, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
