Not Mr. Big

I feel like Villaineve's musical vision is pretty boring and sterile (Jòhann Jòhannsson's more textural work served it better than Zimmer's "big picture" type approach)

It's very loud but does little for the film emotionally (unlike Oppenheimer and Zimmer's own Nolan scores).  

Zimmer's Dune was underwhelming 

Zimmer's Dune was underwhelming 

Oppenheimer was also largely overwhelming (not in a good way…courtroom monologues don’t need to be scored like the climax of a Batman film). But yes it did help create potent cinematic moments. I also felt that Dune was mostly inert in comparison.
 
Jóhannsson’s scores actually played as effective counterpoint to those early Villeneuve’s films.

Zimmer's Dune was underwhelming 

Exactly. Oppenheimer had a few moments where the score was very overwhelming, but they made sense and were very effective.

Dial of Destiny and Oppenheimer are very good and different scores

Fabelmans was better 

I seriously doubt Zimmer will win again for Dune.
 
Ludwig is indeed the current frontrunner.

Had Kubrick temped it with Images, half the finished film would probably still have the Images score in it.

None of this matters

"Generic for John Williams" and "generic for Lorne Balfe" are two entirely separate planes of existence 

Saw the film last night.  One of the best films of the last few years, maybe Nolan's very best.  The juxtaposition of all the nuclear shit and RDJ and Oppenheimer's petty drama was brilliant.
 
It didn't have memorable tunes or whatever some people here wanted but Ludwig's score was a major contributor to the film's success.  He's able to use a lot of trademark Zimmerisms without just sounding like a copy of Zimmer

What if they had got John Williams to do the baby show

Apparently Tim Greiving has just announced the first English biography on John Williams, to be released in 2025:
