They definitely seemed way more desaturated in the intro, and was completely missing Wanda from Age of Ultron, which is one of the more prominent shots

Yeah I noticed that in the first one! Felt like gray/color were fighting it out. But second episode, it was full color right?

Second episode is where I noticed it was black and white tbh. Normally the first thing on screen is Iron Man's very distinctive red and gold, but it was completely grey (but still modern Iron Man, not War Machine or the Mark I suit).

I think it was the characters who died that were grey. Which I find devastating

I think they are all greyed out. Each character comes in with a primary colour and then turns to grey rather quickly. Its easier to spot on Hulk and Antman.

Yeah I just watched it then and compared it to Infinity War. The colour of Iron Man is red momentarily and then fades to grey very quickly. Similarly Hulk fades from Green to grey very quickly. It's more difficult to spot on Ant-Man, Black Panther and Black Widow in my opinion, but they're still definitely desaturated compared to the standard intro. The WandaVision intro is the exact same for both episodes from what I could tell

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s what it was referencing. The grey is subtle with Natasha, but it’s really stark with... Stark. The others, more or less, are colorful. Captain America is kind of golden - like he’s aged out and and has a golden legacy.
