Homecoming Michael Giacchino is the Composer for Spider-Man: Homecoming

^ I'm not feeiing Silvestri. I like the BTTF score but I don't think it's suited for Spidey, not unless they're going for a comedic tone. I Also didn't like his cheesy Avengers score either.

I like the Ant-Man score.

I like the Ant-Man score.

But they are going for a comedic tone. Feige already said so. This is likely to be the funniest Spider-Man movie, and not a more serious take. If we were going to have that, then Asa Butterfield would be in his element.

And I wasn't thinking of the Avengers at all, which doesn't compare to Silvestri's work on Back to the Future. The Avengers is more generic, whereas BTTF is classic.

But Feige said that Spider-Man himself would be funny and comedic, (and even then, he said that Spider-Man isn't suppose to be a stand-up comedian) I don't recall him saying that the movie itself would be a comedy, which is exactly what the Back to The Future score sounds like.

I'm expecting a lighter tone with serious elements - Like all MCU films besides GOTG - but not a comedy flick.

The Back to the Future score doesn't really sound comedic IMO.

 

[ernesth100]

Something like Kick Ass score.

The Back to the Future score doesn't sound anything like a comedy. It sounds more like a rousing adventure film.

I doubt when anyone hears this theme, they think of moments of hilarity.

It's not that different from the type of adventure scores for Indiana Jones, unless you laugh at that too?

And Back to the Future wasn't a pure comedy either, but an adventure film with comedic moments.

Well, it doesn't sound EXACTLY like a comedy film but it also doesn't fit Spider-Man in slightest imo.

I agree with ernesth I want something like Kickass that sounds like a "Coming of Age" action flick.

Exactly? It doesn't sound anything like a comedy film.

And as for fitting Spider-Man, well there are adventure elements to Spider-Man films. But if you listen to more of the score, particularly at around 1.28 mins for BTTF2, you'll hear that it's not that far different from some of Danny Elfman's motifs with the quirkiness and manic urgency:

[YT]qzEU3hcfFgY[/YT]

Except that other than the quirkiness, Silvestri also has a rousing superhero-type theme as well which is extremely memorable.

Also, the main BTTF melody is not so far different from Hans Zimmer's theme for ASM2, which, in his case, I thought sounded more like an Olympics event than superhero film, but some people obviously thought it fitted for Spider-Man.

[YT]iOv0T_zfaDI[/YT]

So saying it doesn't fit Spider-Man in the slightest isn't really accurate at all when they've already used similar themes.

 

[harryoscop]

^ It doesn't sound anything like Elfman's theme even at the timestamp you referred to... Elfman's theme sounds epic, heroic and exhilarating. Silvestri's BTTF tune sounds adventurous, cheesy and corny, not how Spidey music should sound imo.

The only one that sounds kinda like the BTTF theme is TASM2 which is my least favorite theme for Spidey in film. I like "There he is", "Still Crazy", "I'm Electro", "I'm Goblin", "Sum Total", "Ground rules", "We're best friends", basically everything in that score but Spidey's corny-sounding theme.

 

[Dark Raven]

I didn't say it sounds like Elfman's Spider-Man theme. I said it sounds like some of Elfman's motifs. Motifs that he has in some of his work which is often quirky and can be somewhat manic at times.

And as for corny, would you then say that themes such as Indiana Jones is corny? That's an adventure theme. Captain America also has some similar adventure motifs. Do you think that's corny too?

I admittedly didn't care for Cap's theme in The First Avenger at first, (in 2011) but it grew on me by the time Avengers came out. (it fits his character really well)

Indiana Jones does sound kinda "corny" but in a good way, though.. But that still doesn't make it right for a MCU Spidey flick which should sound epic, and heroic, not cheesy.


That's why my choices are: Henry Jackman, (Winter Soldier, Kickass, Big Hero 6) Steve Jablonsky, (Ender's Game, Transformers) or Ramin Djawadi (Iron Man, Pacific Rim)

 

[Webhead2006]

personally i dont really care who the composer is. As long as they have some good musical scores and it fits for spidey. But i said this before looking at more modern films ie in the last few yrs. I cant even remember the films scores as i can for Indiana jones, star wars, bttf, reeve superman/burton batman. So i dont care if it isnt that iconic sound to remember yrs and yrs from now. As it doesnt seem films are for that any more. I just want a fitting sound.

Can we get something that we can identify as Spidey's official theme song instead of just the official beginning of the Olympic Games (Not to disregard the songs on the movie, just that they are not really my taste.).
I mean, how better that to get a Spider-Man song that makes you return and gives you a rush before, during and after the movie, something that makes you happy and gives you the feeling of watching your icon, your hero, a feeling of watching your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man swinging into action, fighting and doing jokes.
Sorry if i am being overly dramatic, but c'mon, who really doesn't want to hear the themes of ''Radioactive Spider-Man'' or the ''In the chill of night, at the scene of Crime, like a streak of Light he arrives just in time'' in the new movie instead of just one note repeated and beat over your head until you are forcely remembered of it. But who knows, we are probably going to get a awesome theme, i mean this is Marvel, Spider-Man is their quintisensial poster boy, so you at least have to expect that they are going to give him a theme as epic as the Captain America, as the Avengers, the Guardians if not more.

PD: If the video doesn't appear, look for Spider-Man Alternate Main Titles (60s/90s theme) on Youtube.

 

[harryoscop]

Agreed, AvegningSpider. I want to see the Spidey/60's theme incorporated into the main titles too to offer something more unique & Iconic.

TASM2's theme sucked, It was too cheesy & generic. I LOVED the Hero's theme from TASM1 and I think Williams/Zimmer should have went with the revamped TASM theme that was heard in the Comic Con trailer for TASM2.

Hopefully Marvel picks a theme & STICKS with it THROUGHOUT the series! (They've been doing that with Cap, Iron Man & Avengers)

 

[AF3619]

I feel that they could go with Ramin Djawadi or Danny Elfman...i mean he got it right... sadly James Horner died i agree with harryoscorp the "hero theme" was great, best part of the soundtrack was "Promises / End credits"

[YT]I9PhfUsFvj0 [/YT]

 

[harryoscop]

1. Henry Jackman and/Matthew Margeson. I think they would be best suited for a High-School, Hughes-esque Spider-Man film:
[YT]ll7V3gt7VVA[/YT]

2. Ramin Djawadi. I think his soundtrack would have a more "Rock" feel to it which is what I've always wanted in a Spider-Man score (Spectacular Spider-Man anyone?):
[YT]4S0OjHxdJDw[/YT]

3. Steve Jablonsky. I think his soundtrack would embody the more epic, tragic side of Spider-Man [YT]z3pFTUyUOT0[/YT]

 

[Webhead2006]

I would love a theme like the old cartoons. But again it doesn't seem these days folks or the movie makers don't really care for that iconic sound any more. Really for any big film for example this past yr. Can you even remember the themes or hum them like we can for bttf, star wars, Elfman batman, or williams superman. I do agree I want a sound that screams spidey. And like we seen in other mcu films. I am sure they will toss in the 60s theme in some fashion.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

I still hope it's Alan Silvestri. His style is perfect and his music is way more cinematic and iconic than most composers right now

 

[harryoscop]

I personally think Silvestri's style is a terrible fit for Spider-Man.. Hopefully Marvel doesn't want a soundtrack that sounds dated and cartoony..

 

[Webhead2006]

The two likely deal will be either marvel goes with someone they have worked with before flip side same goes with sony. Or it could end up going to someone who has worked with watts before. As certain directors usually have go to guys they go with. Like how Lucas and Spielberg went always with John williams. And like so for x other director.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

TBH I don't really care at the end of the day since it's not like I get to pick who it is, but I wouldn't mind if it were Jackman or even if they brought back Tyler, or **** have them both collaborate. They both have their moments where they're really good, but it never feels whole so maybe a collaboration with the two could be something special. I think Silvestri could give it a unique flavor too but I guess I can see where you're coming from Harry. Youth can't appreciate good music of yesteryear

Hmm.. a collaboration between Tyler & Jackman might be pretty sweet. They're both currently working with Marvel, so I'd say very possible.

And I think Silvestri's style fits a character like Cap. That's why he was the right choice for TFA, because it sounds dated/cheesy which is how a period piece Cap film should sound.

MCU Spider-Man being a modern-day teenager should sound the exact opposite.

 

[UltimateMarvel]

John Paesano is a good choice. He made the score for Daredevil(Netflix) and also Maze Runner.

Anothor good choice.

And yea, his Maze Runner score was awesome:

Its going to be fun to see who they do end up going with. Again i not fretting on who to pick at this time. All i want is a good musical scores and sounds that fit this spiderman. Then hopefully if their is and likely will be commerical music played in the film or during the credits its good stuff. I perfer rock tracks myself.
