Iron Man & Ramin Djawadi

Always wondered what everyone thought of Djawadi's themes / work not being used for the second & third film. His score for the first movie is still one of my favorites & still listen to date when I go on late night drives.

Honestly a travesty. The first Iron man is my favorite superhero origin movie and the score plays a great part in that. Same with the first Thor score I still think that's the best one.

I’m a huge fan of both. I think that Marvel bottled lighting for the first film. Considering that they didn’t really know where they were going at that point, they made sensational creative choices and the MkII suiting up scene with Djawadi’s music in the background was a beyond epic combination.

I don’t hate the second and third films but by then, they were already making different, more commercial kinds of films. Djawadi’s music seems to work best when you have scenes with emotional weight and the time to explore it. Later films didn’t take the time to so bask in those moments in the same way. I feel that the decision not to use RD was more a sign of a wider choice in creative direction.

It was good but I honestly preferred Brian Tylers Can You Dig It from Iron Man 3.

Its a great theme in its own right but it sounded almost too heroic for Tony and dissonant with the main theme of the movie which was Tony losing everything while struggling with his mental illness.

That said, I still listen to Tyler's themes for IM and also for Thor TDW. Bro was absolutely cooking during that era.

fair point, but the fact that it was so heroic and hummable makes me think they really should have kept it for the Avengers movies.

AFAIK, we only got it two more times: during the suit-up scene with the Hulkbuster (got chills when I heard it) and during the teaser for Endgame when it combined with the musical stings for Thor and Cap

My biggest complaint about Marvel is they never reuse hero themes unless the movie has the previous composer because they don't want to pay the old composers to use the themes they made.

If I could make one wish about the early MCU, it's that Djawadi went on to score most of the other movies. I think he could have done a great job bringing cohesion to the MCU scores while still making each movie sound like it's own thing. Brian Tyler's IM3 score is one of the MCU's best, and I don't mean to knock him, but Djawadi could have done something really special and I wish they had kept him around. His Eternals score is so good.

Djawadi scored Eternals

The themes for both Iron Man and Pacific Rim makes Djawadi the goat for big mecha music.

I think the first Iron Man score is probably still my favourite of the mcu. While his later scores are still good, I find them to be a bit more generic and pretty forgettable

I agree with you, I always imagine what it would've been like hearing one of Djawadi's theme when Tony is about to snap in Endgame
