Oppenheimer but it came out and dropped in 2007

It’s pretty much been meme’d about since the trailers already that this film would be very fitting with Linkin Park’s What I’ve Done back when that was the ending song to Transformers (2007), and it’s been executed already on other videos here before with Oppenheimer (2023). But I wanted to do my own take that was similar to one of the subjectively best “but it came out in 2007“ meme vids, which was Phoenix2706’s rendition of the Batman (2022) complete with a mid-credits scene: And I didn’t want to have a plain cut of the ending dialogue like others have done, given the film intersperses swift cuts of graphics showing particles and Earth, and figured why not time it here. I also really, really wanted to at least have some reference to Oppenheimer’s “now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds“, but sadly Nolan frustratingly decided to have it originate from a throwaway scene in the film (where he’s “destroying“ someone else instead), and then only harken back to it without as much impact imo, so I had to make do with making it feel like a cliffhanger. EDIT 01/07/2024: How the project appears in Davinci Resolve for anyone curious.
