Zack Snyder’s memorable and mesmerizing opening sequence for his 2009 comic book movie, Watchmen, showed the rise and downfall of each member of the Minutemen, a group of costumed superheroes that formed in 1939. The montage, taking place over several decades, focused on how historical events would have played out a bit different in this alternate universe with superheroes and how the public and the media goes from embracing to shunning the Minutemen.
Now, Vimeo user, Yellow Shots Mash-Ups, has applied the same style, including Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are a-Changin’,” to footage from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to make: “Avengers Title Sequence (Watchmen Style).” Check it out in the video above.
