I was watching The Avengers last night (26th April 2015) on 7Mate on Australian Television. When I first saw the film in the theater I didn't know who Thanos was or the meaning behind the post-credits scene, but now knowing I was expecting to see it in a new light.
After the credits however there was a different scene. The Avengers (including Thor) were in a restaurant, possibly in New York given its state, eating burgers... that's it. No Thanos, no dialogue, no nothing.
Then I remembered Iron Man 3; post-credits I was expecting maybe a hint of Ultron, however it was just Tony lounging back as if he was having a therapy session (he interrupts the guy who tried to explain he wasn't a therapist).
This got me wondering, do all the Marvel Films have a second post-credit scene which doesn't have any hints to future films? If so, why even have it in there?
Answer
There's a pretty solid list here that you can refer to. In short, the latest films in the MCU series seem to have a secondary post-credit-scene whereas the earlier films had only one scene after the credits.
Based on current trends, I look forward to future films containing less than a minute of actual film and no less than 90 post-credit scenes by the year 2040.
As to why they have a stinger at all, the best answer is that it's a nifty way to get you to sit through the credits instead of simply leaving the cinema and ignoring all the people who worked hard to make the film you just enjoyed.
