I miss the Iron Man music from Iron Man. I thought it was great, iconic music and it basically disappeared by IM2.
They should have established more motifs for each character and then used them combined for The Avengers films. Imagine how cool it would be to have Steve and Tony’s themes clashing in Civil War.
More things should be scored like Star Wars.
Yeah both the Iron Man and Cap themes from their respective films were pretty cool.
One thing that definitely doesn’t help (in addition to the general blandness) is complete inconsistency of composers. Three Iron Man movies, three different composers. Three Thor movies, three different composers. Two Avengers movies, you get it.
There has been some slight continuity. Silvestri did the first Cap and then Avengers (but then was dropped completely - although he’ll be back for Infinity War!) and Jackman did Winter Soldier and Civil War (coincidence or not but these might be the four best). Brian Tyler did some cross hero scoring but he’s also total shit.
Thankfully yes, we have Giacchino to look forward to but I wouldn’t expect him to single-handedly turn this ship around.
Totally agree. To be honest, the music is the most lacking part of the franchise. They really should have invested in a single composer for each hero with a standalone franchise, then had them all coordinate or something for the teamup films. Or at least invested in one really versatile composer for all the films. People really should have learned this in '77.
I have the Iron Man theme in my head almost as much as I have Star Wars tunes, and carrying that through the movies would have really stitched them all together. They really missed the boat here. Having a consistent musical feel is critical for a large franchise like Marvel’s, as far as I’m concerned.
Someone talented should reorchestrate the films.
