Didn't expect you to pay enough attention, but Bucky's theme is great. Works excellently in Civil War as well.
Beautiful Lie is an awesome soundtrack.

TDK trilogy is where zimmer gave us his most dope capeshit. Still get chills during the last scene of TDKR and the song he plays during the bruce eulogy and montage.
And he did an admirable job of following up Williams with an original superman theme. Freaking wack that Snyder did not reuse it for BvS aside from a slowed down sadder version.

There was really no context to use it.
Im sure it will come back in Justice League.

Winter Soldier is one of the few MCU movies that isn't a shitflick, but while the thing itself was good, it's score was as forgettable as those other movies.

yeah i can't really think of a spot where it would work. except a few uplifting notes (and not just thunderous drums lol) when he was regenerating and getting ready to come back to the fight would have been nice.
or like just drop a couple notes of the williams theme before he shoves that spear up doomsday's candy ass.

I don't know, I only really recall a handful of MCU themes, maybe one per movie. With TWS, a few stood out: Bucky's, Cap when he fell from the Helicarrier, Cap when he fucked up that Quinjet, Cap vs. Bucky on the highway, and of course his own theme that played in the beginning for his morning jog etc.
Contrast that with MoS, of which I only remember Clark's theme, and BvS, which only Beautiful Lie and WW's were memorable, and I'd say CBMs in general are on pretty even level in terms of scores.

Even DOFP was pretty meh score-wise, the one used during Magneto's speech was nice, I suppose.
I don't really pay attention to score when watching a movie unless it really flows well with what's happening on-screen. 90% of the time it's just background noise to me.

man i remember how happy i was when i left the theaters on that one, opening with the OG xmen theme, ending with the OG team. it was like a glimpse of the Xmen 3 we deserved. nothing since comic book wise really made me feel like that.
maybe suicide squad will be the one. i'm a big batman and joker mark.
What the fuck? Axe to grind? It was like my only post on the matter. And you specifically mentioned some dude's score in Winter Soldier.
We were talking about Henry Jackman's body of work, so the specific potshot at the MCU wasn't really related to what was being discussed. Basically, I don't know why you chose to respond to what I was saying with MCU bashing.

All MCU scores are just awful and so is Henry Jackman.
Zimmer's work (particularly his MoS theme which is GOAT) is just brilliant. Huge loss for DC.

I like Zimmer okay, but I'm ready for some new (or at least, different, blood).
That's harsh, man.
Anywho, I never liked the MoS score as much as the next guy but that might be more because of my dislike of Snyder's direction. Still, I tend to prefer Zimmer on non comicbook movie stuff. I don't think he's the peerless god some people make him out to be and usually prefer the likes of Elfman, Silverestri, or Williams.
Agreed, but I do liked Thor OST to be honest, there was a couple of tracks that were hype.
Cant say I even remember the other movies OSTs at all.

You're wrong!
At least regarding Alan Silvestri's work.
TWO Cap themes and the Avengers theme.
but yeah the others are meh. Hulk can't use Lonely Man anymore, it'd put the original scores to shame

interesting choice. i'd take junkie though, and have him move away from zimmer to something closer to mad max

I'm not gonna lie, I actually don't like Junkie at all as a composer. I hope he doesn't do Ben's Batman film.
Just get his Argo composer, he's pretty good, Alexandre Desplat.

Shit, I forgot about his work on the Fincher movies. Now those movies had incredible soundtracks.
If it was a Batman Beyond movie...oh god

god that moment in the movie was amazing. best movie of the decade for me. which is pretty tough too considering some of the great stuff that's come out (tree of life, social network etc.)
when that plays in the car i'm really tempted to speed lol.
in a batman context it could be used like this from the dark knight soundtrack

I don't want loud music actually, Zimmer did that already. I actually don't remember Mad Max score, I thought the movie was decent, but not as great as Gaf made it seem to be.
I want something more subtle, a more detective theme.

Honestly thought Junkie XL's Batman theme would be closer to his Run All Night score. Example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDti2J7ciOs
He can tone down the percussion, though.

Gotta save something for the solo movie. Plus, they could be sitting on that news. Kind of a big thing to spoil on a random Monday.

Huh, no mention of Bruce Wayne even though Ben was spotted at his trailer in Bruce Wayne clothing. Figured there would be a Wayne/Waller scene for sure.

Yeah, weird omission. Again though, all this info is coming from the preview screenings. Hopefully WB is just holding onto the scenes until release.

MAFEX Suicide Squad Harley Quinn and Joker: http://news.toyark.com/2016/05/23/mafex-suicide-squad-harley-quinn-joker-205018
These look awesome...but I'll probably just stick to Mattel's DC Multiverse figures, considering the price and how far away they are. Still waiting on them to reveal Harley, which is supposed to be out next month along with Deadshot, Katana, Captain Boomerang, Joker, and Batman, which were all revealed months ago. Don't know if I'll get the Joker (not a big fan of his look) and Batman (especially since he's the same sculpt as the Batman v Superman figure I already got in January, but with new accessories), but I might get Captain Boomerang, and I'm definitely getting Deadshot and Katana, and Harley if she looks good. Collecting them all will let you build Killer Croc.
Joker is scheduled to be out in December, and Harley in January. They should be around $50 each.

How dare you not like something I like. And more than that: how dare you speak ill of the Lord. Telling you man, Zimmer's MoS theme>>>>all.
I can't remember anything, not a single one. Only the Avengers one and it's boring. Henry Jackman recently talked about Black Panthers theme...I was like; he had a theme? Where, when? Bucky has a theme too? I honestly can't remember.
I'm never wrong!
Nah, you worship a false god. It is a good theme though.

I stopped frequenting that site when he attacked his own readers for complaining about posting articles with Faraci as the source. He even gave out a weak ass defense saying how Faraci was wrong about some stuff but also had broke stories, like Doomsday being in the movie. No mention of the Suicide Squad rumors that were more slanderous than a breaking story, or the fact that Devin actively trolls DC fans, like before the premiere he tweeted how he was excited to write his review of the movie, or just the fact that the dude is overall unstable. I get why people like to post Faraci stuff, he posts sensationalist rumors that get people hits which is money in their pocket and I don't mind most rumors but, if your going to do all that to spite your audiences and post stuff from a provocateur of drama, then I'd rather not give you the hits. I'm more of a comicbook.com guy now.

The Extended Cut could be just 30 minutes of Superman majestically hanging in the sky and I'd be totally cool with that
MCU bashing? You were talking about music, mentioned an MCU movie, so I chimed in to give my feelings on said composer, stating how his music is as unmemorable as the rest of the MCU.
Don't be so defensive and quick to jump down other's throats. Not everybody is out to get MCU as you are with DCEU.
LOL ok buddy. You didn't mention Jackman at all which is why it came across strange and unrelated but ok. And I've never been "out to get the DCEU" nor am I being defensive but ok buddy.
