Here's mine. (one of em)

Bruno is orange by Hop Along starts.
The name of the story shows filling the screen.
It changes to a room full of boxes.
opened water bottles full of something that isn't water.
Sebastian and Hearst, (who is trying not to cry) sitting on a couch.
Daren at a table pretending to eat while everyone else eats.
A sink with one corner lightly covered in blood.
A single grey and black converse shoe.
Two hands across from each other, both holding locks of hair, one dark purple the other brown.
A forehead, half covered with a big bandage.
Daren hugging Hearst.
The bottom half of a face, lips so dry they're cracking and bleeding.
A feet, one with a white and black striped sock on, the other had a grey and black converse on.
A head of curly, dark purple hair.
A note in a cipher.

Each scene/image would follow with the beat of the song and the lyrics. It's only around the first forty seconds of the song.
(Edit) It gets further in the song with each episode, this would be the first episode, the next would be the next part of the song. Until the end. the last episode would have no music, just Hearst Sitting on a simple chair in a dark room, With a vacant expression, eyes red from crying. Then the Title would fade in.

@RainClouds_Itachi_

i think a good opening song for my story as a show would be Noisia - Machine Gun (Amon Tobin Remix)
but like,,, only starting from about 1:40
( it'd be kinda long at that point, but shhh that's okay- )

(cue title) it'd start with Time shattering and some sort of visual for reality breaking along with him prolly ('nd the title would prolly fade out over top of that)
the earth changing 'nd all that until about 2:02
then everything else would be to the beat
first three beats would be random shots of mythical creatures
next three beats would be shots of Space, Life, and then Death
next three again would be Nat and Dagiia together on one, Carmen and Tatius on the second, 'nd Claudia, Vorex, and Yaedin on the third
then from 2:08-ish on it'd be these random shots ( i swear i'm organized don't @ me- )
-shots of The Lab
-bby Vorex being taken / experimented on until he's an adult
-the bird squad doing cool shit
-the deities doing stuff (especially Life and Death tho)
until like,,, 2:16
then there'd be shots of Tenebris wreaking havoc, maybe a smol bit or two of Carmen's backstory, a cool shot of Zavis, something with the lab again,, like a shot of the A.I's 'nd Cedrix and Saraia or something-
maybe a shot of Enyth Kingdom and then Vraekar Kingdom
'nd then that'd stop at about 2:31
then it wouldn't follow the beat anymore (sorta, it'd just be less fragmented)
-cool fighting shots of the bird squad
-a Vorex vs. Tatius shot
-a lil bit of Apophis and Nomius
-reveal some of the family trees in random bits (like maybe Life with Carmen and Dagiia, and Death with Nat, Tatius, and Claudia or something)
-lots of lil shots and things of the Paradoxes
-shots of Hazel and her wall of computer screens
-Tyler fighting things and whatnot
-at least one dramatic shot of the Celestial Palace + some of the 'missing' deities
then at 3:03-ish everything is less intense so shots are less moving around and action and more just still objects
-Death's mask and Life's staff on the floor
-a gravestone with stone wings
-broken glass + spilled liquid from science-y stuff
-two dark crowns on a throne
-detached metal arm
-f e a t h e r s falling everywhere (of various colors and shades bc more than one type of bird)
-right near the end it'd flash through all the previous shots from the entire opening very quickly
and the last shot would be of Time's amulet at 3:18, which would then fade out

what do you mean i've thought too hard about this too many times before-

Ok so:
A bunch of voices whisper something in the background.
A dragon keeps crashing into things, the screen goes to back every time it does so.

  • First crash: shows credits.
  • Second crash. Wren: I said calm down you oversized lizard!
  • Third crash. Beatriz: Watch out!
  • Fourth crash: a bunch of smoke slowly turns into a woman, the camera follows the transformation from her feet to the lowe half of her face, then focus on one of her eye, a profile view, yellow eyes with orange iris and no pupil.

Based on "The Jacket Squad" comics.

The screen cuts to David looking anxious, the place is some sort of grey laboratory looking hallway.
Isla appears out of nowhere to say hi, she looks a little creepy, David flinches. They both start to walk, the camera shows a bunch of non-human looking people

Isla: This is the A.S.I Agency of Supernatural Investigation. You are here because of your perk, and by perk, I mean power…
Show scenes of everyone in action

Isla: Beatriz Salazar, Also known as Strings.
A bunch of metalic strings come out of Beatriz´s back and start to glow in a golden hue.

Isla: Isumi Hayashi, Puppeteer.
A guy turning invisible and a bunch of people start to move like puppets

Isla: Dust or Hans Meller.
A pile of dust moving around people and turning into a humanoid looking shape.

Isla: I´m on the psychich branch, by the way…
Shows tons of objects moving in the air, then Wren starts to talk.

Wren: Name´s Wren, nice to met ya kid…
Shows Wren turning into smoke and the place sets on fire, then we hear her say "I´m the chimera…"

Music starts to play, something eerie, probably…

Ivanna´s voice (russian accent): Welcome to the paranormal world–
Shows a crowd of people.

Ivanna: –You are agents now–
Shows a lady standing on the middle of a room with flickering lights, not looking at the camera, everything starts to shake then cuts to a fish looking woman, first a shot of her fin reaching the surface in a shark like manner and then her in murky water quickly turning around to the point we can´t see her face

Ivanna: –But we call ourselves freaks around here–
A tree loking man sitting on a room, looking at the floor, hands and feet look like roots and are attached to the wall and floors, he slowly rises his head to look at the camera and cuts before he does so.

Ivanna: –And quite frankly–
Wren sighs and walks away, scene cuts to a shot of what I can only describe as paranormal Seattle but it also sort of looks like San Francisco, Wren stands on top of a building, another moment when the camera focuses on one of her eyes.

Ivanna: –Aren´t we all?
Wren turns into smoke and jumps, lands into another building, there´s a gunshot and the screen goes black again

Title

@Shadow_Knight group

Screen is black.

Female voice: Read me off their names once more.

Male voice: Nykidia Lacy
Red headed girl holding onto a bike staring at the camera, with distrust in her eyes. It is stormy and windy around her but she doesn't pay attention to it.

Male voice: Arron Vesten
Dark haired boy with his back to the camera turns around quickly, fear in his eyes as ashes scatter around him.

Male voice: Jace Vilyan
A boy with dirty blonde hair and a smile jokes around with people before his eyes land on the camera as everyone leaves.

Male voice: June "Sunny" Cole
A blonde girl that is helping a child turns around to look at the camera but the smile fades from her face as she sees the camera.

Female voice: That's it?

Male voice: Yes.

Female voice: Do they know?

Screams fill the silence

Nykidia screams as she disapperes, her screams disappearing with her.

Arron screaming as objects fly around him.

Jace yells as images of things fade in and out of vision.

June screaming as someone she was staring at eyes turn yellow.

Male voice: Yes.

Female voice: How are they handling it?

Nykidia opens her eyes. One of them is black with a purple iris instead of normal. She seems to have no trouble disappearing and reappearing.

Aaron opens his eyes. One of them is black with a red iris. He can now lift things with no problem.

Jace opens his eyes. One of them is black with a pink iris instead of normal. He now is surrounded by people, but they disappear with a wave of his hands.

June opens her eyes. One of them is black with a gold iris. She smiles as she talks to someone, they start agreeing with her, their eyes slowing turning yellow.

Male voice: Better than I thought they would.

Female voice: Do you think there will be more?

Nykidia hugs a young red haired with looks similar to her before Nykidia heads out. The young girl stands there for a moment before it becomes apparent that she is listening to whispers that get louder.

Male voice: With out a doubt.

An Army Of One by Aram Zero is the music I used for this. An for my story, The Death of Us.

Slowly opens up from darkness, showing a landscape from Birdseye view.
Slowly pans upwards, as green shifts to grey, and smoke seems to billow into the sky.
Switch view to a high area overlooking the destruction. Helicopter in the background, several people standing and looking. Camera focuses on a woman with blonde hair.
Briefly switches to side profile.

Changes to different helicopter, that seems to be landing, with several people carrying weapons exiting it in slow motion. It’s raining.
As the music picks up, switches to the view of what seems to be a carrier of some sorts. Several silver ‘mechs’ are visible, all of them ‘turned off’.
Switches to the viewpoint of a bomber plane flying in the distance, high above the ground. Above the clouds.
Switches view to one of those mechs I mentioned earlier. This one has a pilot though, and this one seems to be painted rather vibrantly.
Camera goes outwards, still focused on the mech as it zooms out. Darkened cage seems to be behind the Mech.
Zooms in briefly as something seems to move in the cage.
Camera fades to black.

Quickly switches to bright. Fighter jets fly from the clouds, in formation.
Switches to one jet flying by the water, a dark shadow under the surface following.
Goes to a landscape, in some sort of destroyed city. People - civilians and soldiers cheering.

Goes to a winter landscape, with some sort of convoy visible.
The same woman from earlier is visible.
Camera fades.

Returns back, this time to some sort of canyon. Two mechs, a dark one and the vibrant one are visible. Engaging in a high speed fight, they clash blades several times until the vibrant one takes off and flies back to the cliff. The other one joins it on the opposite side, and they standoff.
Fades to black.

Camera returns. This time it’s first person view, several features are seen in the screen - such as vitals. Person seems to be running forwards.
Stops, looks up. Gun pointed DIRECTLY at camera, aka person. Fires, heart monitor on screen is seen spiking.
Person seems to fall, as the cause of the shot approaches. Their face is not visible for now. They seem like a shadow as they stand above.
Person leans down as the victim bleeds out. Hand comes forwards.
Camera switches to a high mountain like island. The weather is wild, raining heavily and waves clashing.
Zooms in. Someone’s running, being chased.

The person is identified as a fairly young girl, though her eyes lack the features of a normal human. Guns are pointed at her.
Brief closeup of her face as lightning flashes.
Camera moves to her hands, which she presents a grenade.
Switches to the people taking aim. Then again, to a first person view of one of the soldiers. Girl walks back to cliff.
Camera switches to a side view as the girl seems to walk off the cliff.

Camera quickly switches to first person view of one of the mechs before you can see what happens. Mech is flying.
Large tail flies from water, nearly hitting mech, which swerved away.
Just as it swerves goes back to third person, showing the mech veering away and the tail hitting the water again.

Camera switches to the face of a large reptilian. Reptilian seems to be looking down at something, seems to snort.
Switches to the jets. As a flying reptilian descends from above.
The next few parts are quick, showing shots of different characters for only one or two seconds each.
Shows the blond woman from before.
A helmeted, futuristic looking person.
The girl that jumped.
The shadow which shot the person.
A man with goggles.
A pilot.
The reptilian who’s face was seen.
Ends off with the title screen.

This is a really cool idea. I'm gonna give a bit of context to this. So I have an OC-insert fanfic that was never gonna be explored very far but it got popular on the place I'm posting it and I became too attached. It's my life now. It is a Peter Parker fanfic, and the OC is a Stony (Steve Rogers and Tony Stark) girl. It's set in the MCU, just after Black Panther. She's going through a lot of shit right now, and actually has an Iron Man type suit, a sonic scream and a very watered down version of Steve's powers.
Anyway. The story itself is called 'Not A Little Kid Anymore', but for the sake of a TV show it'd probably be called 'Iron Soldier' (because that's the name that she takes on with her abilities). Also her name is Blythe. Yeah, kinda important. Names. And I do believe I would prefer it animated.

So the theme song would definitely be an instrumental of Teeth by 5 Seconds Of Summer, using the linked video it's from 0:50-1:24.
From 0:50-0:56, it zooms in on Blythe. She's standing on the edge of the roof of Avengers Tower, and staring directly at the camera. At 0:55, Blythe smirks and her suit is rapidly covering her body (it's nanotech). As the beat drops, her helmet appears. At the same time, she jumps off and zooms into the sky.
From there until 1:21, it just does these
-Zooming past a swinging Spider-Man (Peter) and waving
-Zooming past an apartment block and waving at her best friend Mikayla
-Zooming through the sky with Tony before they branch off
-Zooming towards S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ and grabbing Steve in her arms
After she grabs Steve it becomes clear that they are headed back to the tower. She flies inside and tosses him on the couch. Her suit disappears and she drops down beside him. At basically the same time, Peter swings in carrying Mikayla and they sit on the couch. Tony arrives around the same time too. They all stare at the camera with smiles and/or smirks.
The last second draws out to a few seconds as it fades away. Blythe holds up the middle finger as it cuts to the title screen, 'Iron Soldier'.

It also popped into my head of what the end credits would be, so…here.
So this is really simple.
The end credits song would have to be Legends Never Die by Against The Current (for League of Legends).
It would be a diagonal angle, moving across the sky but directed straight down looking at the tops of the buildings. Blythe would zoom into frame in her suit and then stay in the centre. The credits would be going, and the lighting would change from day to night, with the lights in the buildings coming on. When the credits finished, she would fly out of frame.

The first frame is Sophie standing in a white room, then it zooms to her amulet, while shows the love interests and her younger brother, then it cuts to pictures of younger versions of everyone, Then the love interest float across the screen, the title will show, then it cuts to Sophie in a crowd and nearly be left by her bus, Then it'll show Micheal in his room lamenting near a box with childhood photos of him and his family, Then quick-freeze frames of the side characters, The next frame shows Sophie watching Charlie pet a bunny, she runs up to him but plants grow blocking her out, Lucas sweep up and tries to save her, but is captured himself, a frame of Lucas lamenting, then it cuts to Sophie falling until Jax catches her but lets her go after he has a visual of him turning into a kitsune and then lets her go, and then she's helped up by Matthew then there a freezeframe of Sophie doing the same for him as children, the Matthew faded away and Sophie sees Micheal moping and tries to comfort him, then she wakes up and drags Micheal to school, then A sliding frozen frame showing all the side characters, Then a freeze frame of, the boys on the school roof and then a photo floats on a desk

The photo changes each arc

The outro would probably be the acoustic version of Hello Goodbye by Frederic, Most of the ending is just panning over the city, The It cuts to a frame of three shadowy figures In the penguin arc they revealed to be Tyler, Mason, and Mr. Crowworth

@Mellowsauc3! group

Chaos and occasional glitches into new realities. Everybody screaming and then chilling and then DEAD. Honestly the song would be a really switched and distorted megalovania, so different it sounds like a different song.

@stolenbrocoli group

so the song would probably be war or bury me face down by grandson and the visuals would be sorta comic book style (think iZombie intro maybe) just kinda showing the different things that the characters all do that are specific to them
I would like to think that the outro would be retrograde by james blake (minus the actually lyrics)

@Oakiin

Into, idk, but outro for Weapon Twenty Four would be Wonderful Life by Katie Melua, from 3:23 to the end, with a soft guitar build up during the final scene of the show right before the outro starts with scenes of the family just being a family softly, maybe some sadder scenes in there as well, but everything's sort of dreamy and soft. idk, that song's just THE song of that story.
Intro might be Summer Nights by Siamese, but not sure really.

A poem explaining there are 12 kingdoms then a shot of the characters walking in a line and being silly as upbeat background music plays, then a shot of each of their faces as we zoom into the forest.
