I absolutely loved The Avengers and in my mind, it lived up to all of the hype and is very worthy of praise. Such a great film and I really enjoyed Alan Silvestri's score as well.... I only have a minor, negative comment (or rather it's more of an observation) but I'm hoping that smarter people can help clarify the matter for me.
Silvestri did a great job reworking his Captain America theme into his score for The Avengers but why wern't the themes for Thor, Iron Man and the Hulk somehow used as well? Perhaps it's just me but those melodies are so immediately recognizable and they speak to the excitement and presence of each individual superhero. Was this a creative decision on Silvestri's part or is it more of a legal, rights issue with the different composers and publishers? I thought that since Marvel is essentially the studio that holds influence over all things creative with regard to all of the films, there would be leeway in reusing the compositions of Patrick Doyle, John Debney, etc.
