I want to open a movie with a dude in a handcuffs with two goons above him- FREEZE FRAME: "This is me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation?" Cut to two seconds earlier of him being pulled into room. HIM: "Yup, dragged in through that door and shoved down."

Again, everything has to be ingrained in dramatic story function. Don't hide under artifice. HULK OUT.

Oh because people already bringing up Breaking Bad. They were probably better at playing with it that anyone. Sometimes it was poetic, sometimes functional, sometimes total misdirect... but the thing to notice most of all is how they mostly phased it out as the series went on :)

I think it also works pretty well in Deadpool. One reason is it gets him in the suit from the start, unlike a lot of origin stories where the audience has to wait for a while to get what they were paying for.

The Emperor's New Groove pulls that exact same trick. And when we get to that moment, his V.O. is revealed to be an unreliable narrator.

Doctor Strange could've used this tact for much the same reasons. It's even got THE TIME STONE in the movie.

I actually love the MI:3 version of this. It's a banger of a cold open.
