Off the top of your head, could you sing the theme from Star Wars? How about James Bond? Or Harry Potter? But here’s the kicker: can you sing any theme from a Marvel film? Despite 13 films and 10 billion dollars at the box office, the Marvel Cinematic Universe lacks a distinctive musical identity or approach. So let’s try to answer the question: what is missing from Marvel music?

Gaurdians of the galaxy was good
Avengers theme?
The avengers theme song is always in my head. It gives me emotion and I've listened to it many times.
I love how the initial premise is a trick question.
"Here's a list of 5 franchises that each stick within one genre and often one cast of characters, all while using 1 overarching musical tone the audience has had years or decades to memorize. Now try to answer the same question about a "franchise" that includes a dozen different casts, tones, genres, and individual franchises all capable of standing on their own."
It's easy to take pot shots at Marvel since it's literally the most successful player in town, but audiences should not hear the score to Captain America and think "Generic Marvel theme song!" Or worse, they shouldn't be watching Iron Man and think they're hearing a Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
Please spread the criticism to a few more doorsteps. Where's the video calling out Transformers for using too much Linkin Park?
Hey guys, I know you closed down your channel but i just wanted you guys to know that what you did here, especially with this particular video changed the movie world. How? Well thanks to you guys the director of Thor Ragnarok – Taika Waititi and Music Composer Mark Mothersbaugh changed their approach to the music in the movie as they are big fans of your channel which resulted in Thor Ragnarok being one of the movies that you won't forget audio-wise. So i guess everyone in the Marvel Movie World wants to thank you and I for one hope at some point you find the time and energy to return. Until then we will all wait patiently.
Should have asked them the Simpsons theme. Everyone knows that one
I relly like the The Avengers Theme in the first Avengers movie, in the second Avenger movie i miss that Theme
Wasn't expecting Vancouver?
God, I hope Thanos gets an operatic chorus. His mere name makes a perfect operatic hook!
I can sing almost every song in the MCU?
Ant Man had a fucking bomb score.
"It's not bad, it's just bland and inoffensive." = Literally every marvel movie. And now Star Wars as well.
This inspired Mark Mothersbaugh to make the Thor Ragnorock soundtrack memorable and badass. THANK YOU! Come back Every Frame Painting!
the guy goes shiiet :1:23 lmao
I feel like the Avengers theme is one of their best, and it did pop into my head when he asked the question. It may be only one, but it's a great one.
I REMEMBER THE AVENGERS SOUNDTRACK .-.
I sure as hell know the theme song of the avengers and the guardians
I've memorized the entire all of the MCU's Movie's theme.
This is something DC is always gonna be better at. Btw. I am Marvel fanboy.
At some point, the question presented at the beginning of the video is kinda pointless. Because we have to admit ALL of the Star Wars movies, James Bond, Mission Impossible etc share the same song/OST whatever you may want to call it.
As for the MCU, every single movie has a different theme and none share the same tone. Beside the Avengers ones but even then, Age of Ultron had just barely resemblance to the first avengers. That's why nobody remembers.
SO I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS MARVEL THEMES!?
people that he interview isn't a soundtrack geek
i never believed that marvel movies were supposed to 'challenge expectations', but you've made your larger point.
