While the Masters of the Universe post-credits scenes set up a sequel, it isn't quite the story fans are hoping to see next.
Instead, everyone seems to be crying out for more Skeletor, the skull-faced villain ruling Prince Adam's home planet of Eternia.
"I want a Skeletor 30-minute weekly sitcom," said one person on Twitter, along with pictures of Skeletor in his HR and gym bro guises, and they're not the only fan who wants to see more of the villain's funny side.
"Don't we all?" agreed another fan, while another simply said: "Yesssssssss"
"What if Skeletor isn't defeated, he's just stuck on Earth for a while like Adam was? He has just enough of his powers to be a dick, but not quite enough to conquer his HOA" said someone else.
"I wish they did this bit a couple more times with Skeletor, my whole audience was cracking up. Have him as Adam's hippie roommate crying over romcoms, as a geek in the comic book store…" said another fan.
"If he doesn't end every single episode with "Until next time" what are we even doing here?" is another person's idea.
Before Skeletor gets his time in the sun, though, it looks like it'll be time for She-Ra. Adam's twin sister is introduced in the movie's second post-credits scene, and it seems she's returning to Eternia. But, the third and final post-credits scene also sets up Skeletor's return, so the bad guy isn't out for the count yet.
Masters of the Universe underperformed during its opening weekend, but Amazon MGM is happy with the result. "[Director] Travis Knight and the entire cast and filmmaking team have delivered something truly special, and this opening is exactly the kind of critical first moment that validates our holistic distribution strategy – building awareness and engagement that will carry well beyond the theatrical window," said the studio's domestic distribution chief, Kevin Wilson, in a statement.
The film is in theaters now. For more, check out our Masters of the Universe review, or our roundup of the most exciting upcoming movies.
