I just saw the film. After a new marvel logo cue the film starts with about 60 seconds of so of tracked music from The Avengers. (the last party of I Got A Ride).
Throughout the film there are several moments when Silvestri's music is either tracked or re-recorded.
After the mid credits scene the end credits feature two full score cues from Silvestri's Avengers score (possible re-recorded though, with slight differences in arrangements)
Soince the Marvel films havent had a lot of interest in musical continuity up to this point I can only assume that Whedon was the one who wanted his film to lean on the score for the first film.
I'm guessing he wasnt happy with what Tyler was giving him, which is why Elfman was brought in. I have to assume that Whedon would have preferred Silvestri, who wasnt able or willing to step in. This is however pure conjecture on my part.

That is possible. Though Whedon must have felt otherwise.

That is a brilliant statement of the theme, and hardly restrained.
Silvestri's end title cue (The Avengers) gets a full replay in the end credits of this film. As does Helicarrier.

To you. To me, yes it is a great statement of a theme, but the theme itself nevertheless leaves me feeling unsatisfied. There's something about the way the theme is constructed, something about the weak chord progression in minor [i, V, iv, III, ii, i is it?] that feels like it never goes anywhere.

Are sure about that progression? Seems more like it's I - V - IV - iii - II - I - V - VI - IV

Isn't it in minor though? You’re right about the major VI (which would be the major IV in minor), giving the second part of the theme that blind burst of major partway through. So let's say: i-V-iv-III-ii-i; i-V-IV--III-ii-i maybe? Regardless it feels like a weak progression to me...
