lmao Harry wins
But for the sake of making the effort, I see it going one of two ways.
The first is,
The Network Takes it Too Seriously:

Similar to The Walking Dead, the introductory sequence is highly saturated, overexposed sepia toned still shots of iconic items wielded by the various characters, but the characters themselves are not depicted. However in a somewhat original twist, they're all set up as if marking a grave, implying each of the characters dies this season.
Kelly's shot is first, given she literally has a signature weapon. The sword is thrust into the ground with the tabard draped over it, a rosary entangled in the hilt. The location is unremarkable wilderness.
Dean's shot is next and is even less subtle: a pre-War grave with his boots and rifle leaned against it, suggesting the character is buried in an already occupied grave which makes no sense but it does kind of look cool when you're just looking at it for a few seconds and that's what counts.
Fletcher's shot is more like an ofrenda or other such memorial as opposed to an actual grave. It's in the gas station of the first encounter scene, set upon a massive rolling toolbox, his various effects scattered about artfully, as if he were working on something there, was killed, and his effort abandoned and left for some scavenger to find.
Harry's is the last and it ends on what looks like his trusty shotgun, broken open and unloaded, on top of a pile of debris that looks like it was once a big black semi-truck. The shot suggests some kind of incredible damage like the whole thing was destroyed by a massive explosion.
In between are even quicker cuts, showing the guitar sword-axe laying in an overgrown field, we get an old inexplicable photograph of Delilah with her Colt SAA lying atop it, the Ma Deuce rusting in a dilapidated barn, Crowboy's machete lodged in a fence post, the face plate of the Iron Man armor laying in the desert sand...
It's all very dramatic.

The Network Desperately Panders for Ratings and Also Tries to Cut Down the Production Costs By Making The Intro Too Long
The theme music is completely incongruous with anything in the actual show, but involves a lot of guitars and screaming.

And sure why not, it's in Japanese too. But it's not animated. It is however 90%+ CGI
All of the characters are given inaccurate depictions.
Harry has continuity errors between shots. Sometimes he has the saw arm on his left, sometimes on his right, sometimes he's shown with two mechanical hands, it's completely inconsistent. The angle is always low to make him look as tall and wide as possible. He's constantly shown wielding flamethrowers and mini guns he never actually uses in the show. Also, he has a robot dog that assists him in these sequences that doesn't exist in the show. But he he has probably the best overall depiction, inaccurate as it is.
Poor Dean and Fletcher both get it pretty bad. Both are airbrushed all to hell and body builder body doubles are composted in as much as possible. This has the result of making them look like they're played by twins. It's also clear the network doesn't understand either character at all.
Dean is regularly depicted as charging into massive brawls bearing all kinds of prop weapons that look like sci-fi prop versions of real weapons, like some impossibly chonky bull-pup shotgun with three barrels and a chainsaw bayonet attachment. He never seems to actually hit anyone or aim at anything, but he's constantly firing these weapons and enemies are just falling down around him. He is show in in a single shot crossing the fingers on either hand across each other and firing a badly animated jet of fire at a legion of black clad soldiers, who never show up in the show either.
If that wasn't bad enough Fletcher gets it worse, the network really doesn't understand his character at all. He gets one shot where he drives into the frame and does a dramatic drift in an expensive sports car with a sparkly pearl white paintjob. This car never appears in the show. Otherwise, he appears at every transition since every transition is an explosion with Fletcher in the foreground. In these shots he has a very expensive laptop or mobile device with the brand and logo clearly visible (it depends on who paid the most), implying he somehow caused the explosion by hacking, though this technology does not exist in the show and it also makes no sense whatsoever.
And that's all you see of these three, they only exist to fight and kill and drive fast cars and make things explode. There is nothing else.
Kelly doesn't fare any better though. They get a model with the same hair color to stand in for her, but it's obvious the model has no idea how to hold the prop sword much less swing it convincingly. In each shot the model's hair is immaculate and she's been lightly coated in baby oil. Kelly gets an action shot near the start that depicts all the other characters pinned down, and she single handedly saves them effortlessly with fight choreography that's even worse than Dean's, randomly flailing the sword as CGI robots are torn to shreds (the network only ever lets Kelly kill robots because they can't show blood). She gets one more action scene where a random raider grabs her forearm and she falls helpless like he has the strength of a thousand gorillas.
Every other time we see her, she's posing for the camera with the sword: in one shot she's in her underwear, in another she's lying suggestively on the hood of the car Fletcher drove in on, etc. Also somewhere in the middle of all of this, Kelly and every other female character (they only get this one appearance and it's hard to tell who is supposed to be who because they use models as stand ins) are in wet bikinis washing the Dog and the shot cuts away just after Kelly makes eye contact with another of the women who fans think is supposed to be Delilah and it looks like they are about to kiss each other. Naturally absolutely none of this is in the show.
