>Captain America: Civil War's score was a little forgettable, so you can understand why Marvel Studios is turning to composer Alan Silvestri for the soon to be retitled Avengers: Infinity War - Part I and Part II. He worked on Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers, while other non-Marvel credits include Forrest Gump, The Polar Express, Night at the Museum, Flight, The Croods, and The Walk.
>The news of his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe was made official by Silvestri's website where they announced: "We are pleased to announce that Alan is slated to score the Marvel films "Avengers: Infinity War - Part I and Part II." These films are scheduled for release in May of 2018 and May of 2019."

Fuck yeah, Silvestri's score on Cap 1 is one of my favorites. Glad he's coming back.
>>83573023
Hope we get to hear the individual themes of almost all the avengers in this movie
>>83573023
Frankly there are only 2 themes I can remember from the 13 last movies. The main theme from Iron-man 1 and the main theme from Avengers. Even then, they werent big deal. Most people say cinematography is the low point of the MCU, but Id say its the ost.
They should just get whoever did the music for Raimi SM, Hulk 2003 and X2 for the next movies. Those were memorable.
the only memorable tune he has done, is the winter soldier theme.
should have tried experimenting with something new.
>>83574115
Really? Cause I thought Cap 1 had a more memorable OST than Iron Man 1 or X2.
>>83574137
X2 theme is the GOAT.
Get outta here.
>>83574115
>Frankly there are only 2 themes I can remember from the 13 last movies. The main theme from Iron-man 1 and the main theme from Avengers.
Same here, they're pretty much the only themes that come to mind for me.
>>83574137
I liked the musical in Cap 1 I guess.
>>83574127
Henry Jackman did the Winter Soldier theme, he was the composer for Cap 2.
>>83574115
Agreed. In a time when plenty of other blockbusters are churning out iconic soundtracks, I can't believe these movies have a grand total of like two memorable tracks out of what must be getting close to thousands. Setting aside GotG's licensed music of course.
>>83574205
THE STAR-SPANGLED MAN
WITH THE PLAN
I actually really liked the Thor 2 OST, shame the movie wasn't very good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKUuyOcKQ-Q
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL3xuzhBdt4
>>83573023
Really like the Avengers theme. And Cap's theme already feels iconic.
>>83573023
I guess Star Wars has re-popularized the old-fashioned kind of symphonic scoring.
>>83574115
>Most people say cinematography is the low point of the MCU, but Id say its the ost.
I thought Thor 1 had a pretty great score. Second best of phase one behind Cap's.
>They should just get whoever did the music for Raimi SM
They did. Elfman scored AoU.
>>83574182
I don't remember X2's score. I remember Kamen's score for the first X-men though.
>>83574275
>I actually really liked the Thor 2 OST
Thor 1 was better.
>>83574525
>don't remember X2's score.
plebian scum
>>83574616
MoS' score is more memorable
>>83574656
Now there we can agree.
>>83574656
Man of Steel's score is probably the most memorable out of all the superhero movies in the last decade.
>>83573023
>not Danny Elfman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=66&v=KIhX1OAI5XM

Silvestri did the Back to Future OST.
>>83574656
>Hans Zimmer makes overpowering, loud soundtracks
Shocker
>>83574712
>>83574656
Nope.
The Dark Knight's OST is still much better than that.
If you are talking about this decade, DOFP's was still better.
Hans Zimmer has lost a lot of his touch.
>>83574656I feel like the only one who thought the MoS OST was nothing special.
Forgive me /co/.
I thought Ant-man had a good theme, probably the most memorable.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_5NwVy8L5M
>>83574781
desu the only reason I rank it highly is just because I had low expectations, I wasn't too keen on his Dark Knight trilogy scoring.
>>83573023
Who cares, only times MCU had not completely forgettable soundtracks was Henry Jackman's Winter Soldier and Paesano's Daredevil, and people probably have already forgotten how ass-kicking montage at the end of episode 1 was with Fogwell's Gym song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCKtlhOfwtw

>>83574616
>plebian scum
I haven't seen it in years and the only scene I can remember by the music was Kurt's infiltration of the White House. And even then, I'm fairly sure that wasn't even an original piece for the film.
>>83573023
I'd agree CWs score wasn't the best, but it was a lot better than a lot of blockbuster scores. Avengers' score was forgettable, but I at least remember and liked the "Tony vs Cap" theme. It was a nice mix of sadness and 'epic'ness, using the nonmeme definition.
>>83573023
>Cap 1 and 2 get the greatest soundtracks in the MCU
>Cap 3 goes back to its usual shitty and unmemorable soundtrack because muh Avengers
still pisses me off
No one here a fan of Iron Man 3's main theme?
I loved the score for GotG
>>83574781
You're not alone. Hans Zimmer used to know melody and his Rush score was very close to 90s Zimmer, but his action scores are shit and his clones have ruined action film scoring.
>>83575124
It wasn't Iron Man 3's main theme, it was a Shane Black Movie's main theme.
>>83575067
Yeah man, but at least Cap's theme will be back for Infinity War.
I thought the last act of Civil War got very symphonic, but Jackman just isn't talented enough with an orchestra. It sounds tacky when it should be grand. Same thing with Brian Tyler, though I do like his Iron Man and Thor scores.
>>83574980
>not the main theme
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=padpEYIkq4c
>>83575067
Truth be told, TWS had a pretty forgettable soundtrack. The only bits that stood out were Project Insight and the Winter Soldier's themes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTuS_Qf5_jk
>>83575196

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBp1Y-LoObs
Nolanbats aside the only piece of capeshit music that's stood out to me enough to look up and download wasElectro's theme.
>>83573023
Generic trash. The only thing weaker than MCU's villains is the soundtracks. The only ones that stand out are Winter Soldier, and GotG (but not because of GotG's orchestral sountrack)
>>83575124
I found everything by Bryan Tyler to be the blandest, most phoned-in soundtracks o the MCU, reinforcing the idea that the MCU doesn't have memorable music. I'm glad to see that after AoU, they pretty much dropped the guy, and went back to what worked in Avengers 1 and Cap 1. Have nothing against Henry Jackman either, but maybe he's not the right choice for Avengers movies.
>>83574500
More like the BWAAAAAAAAS got pretty old
I think I'm one of the few that liked the CW soundtrack
>Opening Marvel fanfare

All great, I also liked some of the new characters' themes like Zemo and Panther.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThxVDSW22cc

Most of Marvel's scores are old fashioned, it's just that Silvestri is their only composer who made it work.

But yeah, the bit at the airport fight where they charge eachother is the only part of the score I remember from CW.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG36KyYzlIQ
>>83574656
>tfw Supes' theme
It's the literal feeling of hope put in music, I can't even describe it.
I like how each DC hero will have a memorable main theme. That can be used really well for hype and shit.But for real, it's just Superman's theme that's really fucking memorable
>>83575641
It's funny how Zimmer tried to make it hopeful, thinking of what and who Superman is, and then on the other side you have what Snyder did to Superman.
>>83575690
Stop the memes. MoS is a great modern supes film.
>b-buh muh golden age strongman

>>83575725
Snyder pls, wait for the CW Superman to pop up in Supergirl, it's probably going to be a better incarnation of him than yours.
>>83575725
Fuck off Zack, this thread isnt about you
>>83574793
i agree here, AntMan soundtrack was good
>>83575542
This guy knows what's up.
Although, somehow he couldn't bring the same power to his work of Civil War, except for a few moments, like the one where all the Avengers clash at once, but listening to the rest of that score even, there aren't any points that stand out. Here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG36KyYzlIQ
First part is glorious, but then it kind of breaks down.
Silvestri, on the other hand, even if he only used leitmotif for Cap (since that was the only one he worked on) seemed to capture the heroic team spirit really really well.
The theme that starts when Wonder Woman shows up in BvS was pretty good.
>>83573023
I wonder why Steve Jablonski isn't hired for these movies.
Arrival to Earth is probably one of the most memorable songs of the last decade.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H0JDomv8ac
>>83575764
>>83575777
No, I said STOP the memes.
>>83575829
It's a musical identity, not a theme. Same with Spider-Man and Black Panther's musical representation in Civil War.
>>83575829
I hope you don't mean the one that plays in the ''Is she with you'' scene.
That electronic song was hilariously out of place.
>>83575616
>I don't think anyone has actually said that they didn't like it. I liked it. It just didn't stand out.
I've been a lot on sites and many people say they don't like the soundtrack, most of them dislike it because there are no recurring themes from the superheroes and no Avenger themes. But you can still parts of the Avengers theme in very small parts in the soundtrack.
>>83575848
Stop making shit movies.
>>83575874

BvS had the best music to be in a capeshit film yet
>>83575641
>>83575690
Not trying to meme here, but are we still talking about MoS' theme that the other anon mentioned? I don't hate the movie all that much, mind you, but the music, while lovely, doesn't really tell me "hope"
And in a certain way you can see the movie doesn't think of it that way either. The main theme is played when Zod is going "I WILL FIND HIM", it's played when him and Supes are fighting through Metropolis, it's played when BvS reminds us in the intro of all the destruction that went on... it's basically an action sequence theme
Now THIS on the other hand...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvFo5BijsHs
>>83575829
This one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG36KyYzlIQ

>>83574258
Alan Menken always comes through when they need an old-fashioned musical comedy song. Why don't they give him a shot at a superhero musical?
>>83575725
Superman is timeless. You can't "modernise" him much like how you can't "modernise" comic book cheesiness as its ingrained intricately into the genre itself.
>every time Winter Soldier was on screen killing the shit out of everyone

>The sense of a large and arduous fight
>Black Panther motif
>Widow betraying her team
>Spider-Man's plan to defeat Giant-Man
Allegedly, modern producers are actively pushing against distinctive themes in movies, believing it to take away from the actual film experience (think Michael Bay's lowest denominator).
>>83575829
you mean the only reason "Wonder Woman steals the show"?
>>83576433
That doesn't make any sense from any perspective, source?
>We want our movies to be less memorable
>>83576433
Doesn't make sense, but I always wonder why Disney can't shell out enough money for a decent composer. I thought Ike was gone already.
>>83574719
Silvestri's was better. Elfman just muddled it and made it less triumphant and memorable. It was all foreplay. Silvestri's was the money shot.
>>83575843
He's probably busy farting out gold for Bay's garbage. It is a shame he doesn't get more work because his stuff is chill inducing.
>>83575367
To be fair Electro's Theme was probably my favourite thing about whole ASM2.
>>83575406
Avengers main theme, there's no way you don't remember it.
>>83574656
It was more memorable but sometimes Zimmer having a hard time when blending into action scene, it just felt not quite right. The score kicking it when it comes to quite moment
>>83576128
I didn't see BvS, but I rather liked his work in Deadpool.
>>83574719
Is Danny Elfman incapable of making a score without a choir?
He uses it to make his work sound more "profound", but it's a crutch that adds NOTHING to the pieces besides bogging it down
>>83579486
>he hasn't heard Oingo Boingo
>>83578181
I really dont
>>83579486
>>83579765
Elfman's work got more average and repetitive ever since he started working with Burton more and more.
Still, I think his best movie scores are in MIB and TNBC.
>Replace one generic unmemorable orchestral score with another

The X 2 theme is the second best Xmen theme ever.
On a related note, the opening score for Apocalypse was also great
https://youtu.be/fXvuJUw1UrQ
>>83583450
A lot of people hated it.
So dumb, I thought it was great.
>>83583491
The movie was fine. I don't get the beef either
In terms of MCU music the memorable ones for me are
- Driving with the Top Down
- Iron Man (2008 Ver)
- Can You Dig It?
- Captain America (both versions)
- Star Spangled Man
- The Avengers
- Civil War
The only DC related movie piece that are really memorable for me is whichever version of the MoS theme was in that 75th Anniversay animation DC put out. And even then it's because I watched said animation a few dozen times. It's not that DC movies have BAD music, but they're really kind of overly cinematic in a way that doesn't really make them fun to listen to outside of the context.
I don't get why Zimmer's MoS score is so hyped, either. It's just variations the same two notes over and over again.The Arkham games have surprisingly good main themes though. Especially City.
>>83583135
Oh, my bad. Yeah, it's quite nice
I like this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDZTGTjnhBE
>>83574115
Ant Man's score was great.
>>83583450
Ottman's works are underrated. His X-men score is probably the most memorable of the franchise, and possibly one of the best capeshit theme. I really love his Apocalypse's score especially the choir in the beginning. Don't forget his new arrangement of superman's score in Returns
>>83582466
>not Midnight Run
>>83574254
What blockbuster has had an iconic soundtrack since like... LOTR?
>>83585619

>>83573023
I'm not that much of a fan, but I couldn't possobly think of anyome else for the job. There are better musicians, but I can't imagine a good enough match.
Maybe Michael Giacchino, he scored The Incredibles, Star Trek, Up and Jurassic World.
>>83583843
What about the Winter Soldier theme?EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>83585619
Pirates of the Caribbean?
>>83574115
The only Marvel themes I remember are Ant-Man and The Winter Soldier.
>>83587987
Isn't Giaccino working on Doctor Strange? I'm looking forward to that.
>>83591885
>Isn't Giaccino working on Doctor Strange?
Oh, that's nice. Damn, they've pulled in a lot of talent for that movie.
>>83574115
The Helicarrier theme is super iconic, everybody cheered in the theater when they brought it back in Age of Ultron and Fury made his surprise interruption to save the people of Sokovia
>>83591924

>>83591885
Dude pulled a lot of great themes, I hope his score perfectly capture the essence of the movie itself
>>83574656

>>83583183
Naw son
I was surprised to see Elfman's name in the credits because that had to be the most unmemorable score in the MCU films. Silverstri's theme was far better.
>>83574999
> Ancestral Call, Celestial Bodies, and Civil War are the only great tracks in CW. Rest is pretty generic.
Djawadi's Iron Man scores, Silvestri's Cap score, Jackman's Taking A Stand, Thor 1's main theme are all strong.
Quite how you thread the alien characters, the likes of Thor (mythic), Wanda (gothic) Strange (spiritual), and Vision (cosmic) who should all have distinct themes, with the more Earthly themes of Cap (patriotic/idealistic), Panther (regal), Iron Man (bombastic), Spidey (street), Antman (comedic) is a thematic problem.
I fear it's going to have to be generic to thematically fit all these disparate characters together.
>>83588043
God damn I love the Winter Soldier theme. That metal screech does a great job of informing the the audience that shit's about to get fucked.

I hope they pull it off, find a way to make leitmotifs work together, just like the Avengers themselves.
The part they fucked up the most in Civil War was interrupting the silence during the airport scene. I got super hyped when the music was playing and it was all fighting. Shit I was choking up over the excitement. Literally. Thence
>"We're still friends, right?"
happened and fucked everything up. That scene should have gone back to the music immediately

how can you not get hype during the intro cerebro credits when the music starts
but his superman returns score was GARBAGE. he sped it up a couple of beats and didn't do the heart of william's motif just the part that everybody knows about
it's not even a contest. if you're going to do williams score then don't mess with the master and put your own "spin" on it, don't do it at all
