Percy Jackson and the Olympians
The novels adapted with their author involved, and titles that run at the end of the episode rather than the start.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians rebuilt its titles: two distinct opening sequences are catalogued here across seasons 1–2, running between 101 and 131 seconds.
At 131 seconds at its longest, it opens well above the 58-second median for sci-fi sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Disney+ in 2023, when The Mandalorian, Andor and Chip 'n' Dale: Park Life were also on the network.
Only 139 of the 2,618 shows catalogued here changed their titles at all; Percy Jackson and the Olympians did so once.

Pluribus
Vince Gilligan's first series after Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, opened in twenty-one seconds of white dots on black that settle into the title and hold nothing else — no cast, no footage, no colour.

Fallout
Retro-futurist advertising for a world that ended — the games' Vault-Tec aesthetic reproduced exactly, and varied per episode.

Severance
A man walking through his own head, drawn as a corporate-training diagram that keeps folding back into itself. Oliver Latta's animation, and the best argument in years that a title sequence can be the thesis.

Silo
A cross-section of the silo, descending. The camera falls the length of a buried structure the characters spend the series failing to understand, which tells you the shape of the thing before the plot does.

Foundation
Mathematics rendered as architecture — the Prime Radiant's equations building and dissolving structures across millennia.

Alice in Borderland
An emptied Tokyo shot as architecture — Shibuya with nobody in it, which is more unsettling than anything the games do.
