I've already written it off, tbh. If he manages to surprise me, cool. But right now, I'm more interested in the needle drops.I'm very antsy about his Superman theme.
Ikr. I mean this will go either one of two ways. He'll either give us a theme we'll remember 20 years from nowI've already written it off, tbh. If he manages to surprise me, cool. But right now, I'm more interested in the needle drops.
You know, I had no idea that was him.I’m hoping that Murphy can create something for the Superman theme in the vein of his Adagio in D that was recycled in WW84. That is a beautiful piece, even if it is somewhat overused and over saturated now.
That said, I just want a good score that compliments the story-telling. This was what I thought was amazing about Black Panther. Everything and everyone had a theme in that film that was intentional. I’m still amazed that Kilmomger’s theme is a sampling of an African themed piece layered with hip hop and Beethoven. It really informs the character even if at the end, I’m not humming it like I might the Krypton fanfare or the Imperial March.
I wish I could be as blase about it as you. Scores are a big part of my enjoyment when it comes to movies, especially superhero ones, and the source music isn't nearly as interesting (unless it's original songs).I've already written it off, tbh.

I love a good score, but some of my favorite musical moments of all-time in movies have been with songs, so as long as one of the two are memorably good, I'll be good with it.I wish I could be as blase about it as you.

As long as Murphy's score isn't actively bad I can live with bland music if the film itself is good.
I'mma just leave this here
I'm all for John Murphy if it's him at his A Game. This isn't the first time a well regarded composer has coasted through the last few soundtracks only to come out with a genuine banger. Giacchino himself did exactly that, with The Batman
Here's hoping Murphy joins him
I felt very similarly to all of you when it came to Giacchino composing The Batman given his previous lackluster track record of his MCU movie compositions.
Then he came out with this
It's not worth writing John Murphy off just yet
As far as I know Gunn isn't a musician. I highly doubt he hired Murphy just so he could dictate the score to him note by note.I'm pretty sure Gunn has what he wants in his head, and has already hummed it out to Murphy.
I'll be shocked if he just let's him come up with it on his own.
And I plainly said he will tell him what he wants, ie, articulate.As far as I know Gunn isn't a musician. I highly doubt he hired Murphy just so he could dictate the score to him note by note.
Will he articulate what his vision for the music is? Sure. But Gunn isn't Clint Eastwood, he's not going to be scoring the film himself.
There is a good breakdown on YouTube about the reasoning behind the choices for the music. Mostly covering John Williams work. Sorry I don't have the link.I've always sort of associated Superman music with trumpets & brass. I am sure everyone was just playing off of John William's theme, but I wonder if they will lean into that at all. Avengers' theme is also trumpets/brass and I have always really liked that theme as well.
I don't think I could create a tune in my head to hum thats also themed for a character. I wouldn't assume it's that easy if you aren't musically inclined. Composers and musicians DO have that talent though. I'm sure we'll get something that sounds like Superman.And I plainly said he will tell him what he wants, ie, articulate.
And he will probably Hum out what he has in his mind.
He will leave it to Murphy to create it.
I mean if this was your film, and you were in gunn's shoes, would you not have a theme playing around in your head?
I know I would.
I find the Fleischer theme to be a strong Superman theme so if it can get even close enough to that I'll be happy.I don't think I could create a tune in my head to hum thats also themed for a character.

I like it. I can see superman performing a huge save to that. ( saving a ship, stopping an asteroid, etc )I'm just messing around with ai and thought I would see what it would pump out.
