Edmilson 7,398 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 As everyone here knows, the music in the second Avengers movie is a poor mixed mess. Last year, both of the the recording sessions from composers Brian Tyler and Danny Elfman leaked. So, I decided to see what was the original intention of them with the movie, before Disney and Marvel interfered. 1. Opening For the actual movie, this scene is scored with tracked music from the first Avengers, then bits here and there from Tyler and Elfman mixed so low you can't hear no music. Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DHVG64mVDjZ2OWRE0LJsz67YZXMi0H39/view?usp=sharing Tyler originally scored the first action scene of the movie with his own Avengers theme. I decided to restore also his Marvel fanfare he composed for The Dark World. The footage of the movie mostly fits with Tyler's cue 1m01-02B Watch Your Language, with the exception of one black screen that I had to add. Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PUwB4DDzuCi5-D_uW9HuDCDlYRW8YRZA/view?usp=sharing Elfman scored it with some action music that is less showy than Tyler's. The footage fits with the available cues, suggesting the cut he scored was more "final" than Tyler's. 2. Title Card The movie uses Tyler's version. Let's see how Elfman's version was supposed to be: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_L7HnIbUQ8YtXmlWRieykgztAjpkX0Rv/view?usp=sharing It fits. 3. Arrival at base The movie again uses a tracked cue from Silvestri. Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qoiweyITlTqCEew2jK4SUZws9ykTSTb_/view?usp=sharing Tyler scores the scene with his new Avengers theme. Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vYydydFiUrrTHIj3Pd60MbhSGMMNKh79/view?usp=sharing Much like Tyler, Elfman also scored the scene with his theme. 4. Ultron crashes the party Scored with bits from everyone on the actual film (and again mixed very low). Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PnU0poAmnWP47JzJsA25KWFTN8q8BGTA/view?usp=sharing Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lYKQdJiRyOfnip-wq9_RFjtiIWRn1roA/view?usp=sharing Both versions fit the footage, which means that they didn't mess with this scene after the scoring sessions. 5. Hawkeye's Farm Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SgG9Rw7Qe3UcmUgNxKIb9McvOvoDxL94/view?usp=sharing Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FpbHYMqXQ90DyeO216BHAGWCATvLZ2DK/view?usp=sharing Both fit the footage. 6. Seoul Chase Since the sessions only included two small cues from Elfman for this setpiece, I decided to restore it with Tyler's original intent: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y-95fEcwZt4LF1okV_FoUFy2ls42Rsw1/view?usp=sharing Mostly fits, despite the black screens and a few cuts here and there. 7. Birth of Vision Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JRwcnl3yqrZwQ-jeZdfKAcyZQpQGMTpn/view?usp=sharing Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tFVlEwzln8zfZNWHcQxe5qGq7g5yDlpA/view?usp=sharing Mosty fits, despite the fact I had to make a cut in Tyler's version and add a black screen to Elfman's. 8. The Battle of Sokovia/Hawkeye's speech Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EHdmgXvo9eW8nfzLc2M9VKv0Mew0VgH5/view?usp=sharing Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/13f3VyJ5StQxjVI01rpcXPDSBpVT702jG/view?usp=sharing That was complicated! Presumably the climax of the movie went through several changes after the scoring sessions, removing some scenes, which is why I had to include several black screens in Tyler's version. Elfman just provided one alternate for Hawkeye's speech to Wanda, which went unused. 9. Fury and SHIELD save the day For the film version, Tyler had to re-record Silvestri's Helicarrier cue from the first movie. Here's his first attempt with his theme: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PK0DfbLZD6Zvn0q_RmXv9ODbSqO1kE71/view?usp=sharing 10. Avengers Unite The film uses Elfman's cue for this scene. Tyler's cue was hard to fit, I had to guess where it begins, and I'm still not totally satisfied with it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dsn77BM6_RMNEPdE7olqXTYtfZ5-IDzr/view?usp=sharing 11. Homecoming The film again uses Elfman's version. Tyler's version would be something like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/191ObNaHh1G8EmIyxAgarmqwwz4aMd4II/view?usp=sharing 12. New Avengers The film again tracks another cue from Silvestri. Here's Tyler's and Elfman's attempts: Brian Tyler version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TfMFQ3MbLRDiwpqFpzfhxanXNjw-EEtI/view?usp=sharing Danny Elfman version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1usfojeOgF0uwi2xq4QpbsfFgVR95WA2e/view?usp=sharing 13. End Credits The film uses Elfman's version of the credits. Here is Tyler's version, including his own Avengers theme: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rt4KMKKAUQjzfdXSJVTm28f1Rcsr_kvQ/view?usp=sharing Jay and TheUlyssesian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
