The audio commentary for X-Men Apocalypse by Kinberg and Singer confirms that the villain referenced in the post-credits scene will be in the next Wolverine movie. It means that Richard E Grant is very likely playing Nathaniel Essex (Mr Sinister)

Speaking of, I watched XMen Apocalypse for the first time over the weekend. Boy, that sure was a stinker. Should've heeded the thread's advice.

Yeah, ever since the soft reboot of the X-movies with First Class, Apocalypse is the only one that I didn't like, and even that at least had some good things within it. X-3 and Wolverine 1 remain the low points of the series by far.

Origins is like one solid stride away from a fitting riff on Total Recall that just doesn't quite land. Still funnier than Deadpool in a lot of ways, though.

One thing, though, is that I can't really recall the music to almost any movies except Star Wars and Fight Club, but the former because I watched it seven hundred times as a child, and it's ingrained in our culture, and the second because I'm an idiot and watched it like five hundred times as an angsty teenager.

Even with just John Williams' movies there's gotta be more than that. But no Elfman? Silvestri?

Yeah as much as I like EFaP and like more analysis of Marvel, his set up doesn't match his thesis. Movies can have excellent scores that the person-on-the-street won't be able to hum, and being able to hum them doesn't make a song good. The thing about temp music is really good tho and it is weird that no Marvel hero has a really recognizable theme (like, on the level of Burton's Batman or Donner's Superman), but I don't think those are necessarily congruent points.

Even if you can't recall the exact melody I bet there are a ton where you can recall the general instrumentation, mood, genre where applicable. Marvel movie soundtracks (along with a ton of others, that's true) are just kind of vaguely orchestral and indistinct. Except for the Captain America theme, that's actually slightly memorable. e: it's not all about recognizable themes, either. That rescored Thor scene?

Outside of Fury Road and maybe one or two others I didn't find any music from movies I've seen lately memorable at all. In BvS the only one that stood out was the psuedo-Fury Road music that started playing when Batman was being attacked by the SWAT team.

I'd add the part where Zod's theme kicks up when Clark's powers come back in the Batman fight and the WW theme (which also had a pretty Fury Road vibe to it). Edit: Beaten on the WW theme.

I'm on record as hating basically everything about BvS, but Zimmer's Superman theme is very good. That being said, the idea that a good movie theme has to be "hummable" is one of those things only people who don't get music say.

I also really like the Superman song during the montage with Supes dragging the boat and saving the people in the flood, but I think that's a bit of rehashed music from MoS.

I bet if we played you a few themes you'd probably be able to pick which movies they came from. You'd probably be able to pick most of them even if we hummed them to you. The same couldn't be said of most of the MCU themes. Try listening to these without looking at the graphics and try to identify where they came from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHiQSpaYSLM

I liked Fury from Winter Soldier, but it mainly stands out because it's not a generic orchestra song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibFOFrp4A8s It's probably not that loud in the actual movie, especially since you have Sam Jackson shouting and guns being fired. RBA Starblade posted:Beyond it being a cello and a fiddle respectively (I think) I couldn't tell you what they were. I do recall really liking Interstellar's soundtrack, but I can't really recall most of it either. If you watched it in the theater you'll definitely remember "Stay". They turned up the volume for the final minute and half of that one, it got LOUD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca_Cv7seV4Y Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Sep 12, 2016 |

It reminded me of the RLM segment as well. I think they're a fun way to introduce an idea (MCU has lovely music, TPM has lovely characters) and then go on to flesh out the argument but yeah, it doesn't quite stand up on its own.
