Catching the post-credits teasers used to be an essential part of the MCU viewing experience — when, exactly, did they stop mattering? For Looper I wrote about every MCU post-credit scene that hasn’t paid off (yet), from the missing Karl Mordo to the Ebony Blade and (sigh) Pip the Troll:

Every Marvel Post-Credits Scene That Hasn't Paid Off - Looper

The MCU is known for post-credits scenes that hint at adventures to come. But you might be surprised at how many of those have gone nowhere.
