MCU: The Marvel Cinematic Universe Official Discussion - Part 4

[metaphysician]

Yeah. Its not that they are unbelievable, because most of the stuff is perfectly plausible. Its just. . . I'm not seeing anything somebody couldn't guess based on knowledge of the setting and character, and evidence already available to the public. Even if they are totally true, that could still simply be the result of educated guesses and good instincts.

4chan is attack!

And James Gunn says they're bull####!

 

[Spider-Fan]

Seems more like vague guesses to me and a lot of very general stuff.

Giancarlo Esposito revealed that he turned down a role in a Marvel TV show recently because he wants a role in a MCU movie instead.

 

[flickchick85]

And Marvel better give the man what he wants.

 

[Kev4000]

Is that real with the announcements?

It doesn't look like the real Feige. I suspect, at a minimum, Feige would consider it poor press to have profanity on his official Twitter (James Gunn, on the other hand, considers it awesome press). But given past "announcements" of things like Hercules, I would take anything you see there with a grain of salt.

No, it's an obvious parody account. Feige's real Twitter account is @kevfeige.

I wonder if they approached him for Cottonmouth in Luke Cage.

 

[Relugus]

Off the top of my fevered imaginings...

So, Thanos shows up, the Avengers try to get back together, but they are dysfunctional and fail to work as a team due to resentments and disagreements.
Carol, appointed by Secretary Ross, is in charge of Stark's team, and is very Pro-Accords and very anti-Cap.

When Thor and Wanda clash with Loki, Loki talks about The Other, and tells Wanda her powers are demonic, corrupt, and are pure evil, that that is why people fear her. She thus totally refuses to use her powers, and Thanos curb-stomps and toys with the Avengers and the world using the gauntlet.
Wanda is eventually persuaded by Cap, Vision, and Hawkeye to use her full powers but she knows they could corrupt and consume her.

Vision dies, but Wanda controls her rage, letting Thanos win for the sake of the greater good.

One thing I'm not a fan of in the MCU is the music. Theyre hiring weak composers. DC has iconic themes thanks to Danny Elfman, John Williams, and Hans Zimmer and Marvel has no memorable music at all. That's one little issue in an otherwise perfect universe

Both the X-Men movies and the Raimi Spider-Mans have memorable and even iconic themes which the MCU is really lacking in

 

[HunBoy]

A deleted scene from “Deadpool” MIGHT connect it to the MCU

I'd agree on that. Fix the music and the villains and then we are absolutely good to go.

I'd disagree. While much of the MCU music is generic, there are tunes like Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man, The Avengers and Ant-Man. The First Avenger and Ant-Man particularly stand out as memorable.

The rest of the themes I'd agree are rather forgettable.

 

[chamber-music]

The Ant-Man, Avengers and Iron Man themes are good

Iron Man 3 actually had my favorite theme for Tony.

With Alan Silvestri coming back for Avengers Infinity War we may hear a little return for Cap's theme, which we didn't hear at all in Civil War (considering where the story went i don't see where it would fit)

I love Ant-Man's theme, and find the first Thor to have an underrated theme.

I totally disagree, in my mind nothing the DCEU has come up with compares to this, theme wise:

Long live Alan Silvestri, I'm so thrilled he's coming back to do the music for Infinity War and sequel.

Along with the themes that other posters have mentioned, I also think these are massively underrated pieces of music:

What? Danny Elfman and John Williams Batman and Superman themes are TOTALLY iconic and two of the most memorable themes in the entire genre. This is actually just undeniable

I absolutely love the MCU but the music is just not memorable or iconic

They excel in EVERY other regard though.

Edit: I think I get what you were sayin. The DCEU only has Zimmer. Elfman and Williams were part of different universes.

That said... The MOS theme is more memorable than anything I've heard in the MCU. It doesn't matter how hard I try to remember them, I can't even hum any of their themes and I've seen all the movies multiple times. There's an issue there. The music is serviceable, not memorable in the slightest.

A lot of these MCU movies are going to go down as classics I think, and they're doing themselves a disservice by skimping out on quality, iconic themes.

I'm not trying to be an ******* that nit picks, the MCU is seriously near perfect, it's just one small issue

 

[Rorschach2012]

Zimmer is done with DC, Marvel should snatch him up

I do agree that there is room for improvement in the music department, but you can't beat that right there.

You're seeing something I don't. I've always thought the Avengers music was serviceable only.

Really not trying to be a ***** here, a stronger score would bump some of these movies up to iconic status. What would Star Wars be without John Williams' music? Still good but man he really elevated the material

But you're only looking at it from your perspective. Yes, you may not feel that The Avengers theme is iconic but many people clearly do. I've seen countless YouTube comments from people stating that they feel it's one of the most iconic themes of modern cinema and I agree with them, I'm always humming it for days after watching TA.

I'm personally not interested in Zimmer moving to the MCU, I'd prefer they continue to hire lesser known composers as they also hire lesser known directors. I mean, Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo has been chosen to score Thor: Ragnarok. That's so completely out of left field and unique that I love it.

I never doubtet that

nope, not what I wanted to say at all

THAT I doubt.

I'll NEVER understand the fanboners some get with the unispired, one-note, so-called themes that Zimmer plagues movie goers with. This man should never work again on a major movie.
And then I read his name thrown in the same hat as Elfman and Williams and begin to doubt humanity.
I have no problem with you criticizing MCU scores (some are a bit bland, ut the Ant-Man theme alone blows everything Zimmer has ever done out of the water), but don't bring a knife (Zimmer) to a gun (music) fight
