I guess in the UK they felt they had to retitle it because of the '60s series The Avengers? As if anybody who sees the ads for this movie could still be confused the two are unrelated. Haha!!
Anyway, the movie's not a high priority for me, but the score sure is. I just hope Joss Whedon gives Silvestri as much free range as Joe Johnston did for Captain America. I would imagine some of the characters might have new themes since their films had different composers, but I hope Silvestri is able to reprise his Cap theme.
I loved Doyle's THOR theme but do the others really have a stand out memorable theme? (IRON MAN, HULK)

I'm excited that it's Silvestri. But of all of the "Marvel" composers I wish it had been Doyle.
I'm not holding my breath that Silvestri will use anyone else's themes (there's no guarantee that he'll use the Cap March either). But it would be awesome if he did.
Leitmotif-a-palooza!

That's the probem with what Johnston did. this is my assumption with the score. Is he probably told Silvestri to do whatever he wants but to give Cap. a march. Red Skull, Hydra, Howling Commandos, Cosmic Cube, and Peggy lacked themes. The score was good but could've been a lot better imo if each of the above mentioned had not only themes but strong themes. Hopefully Avengers will be heavily thematic and I'm not talking about each member having a theme , but I mean Loki, the aliens, cosmic cube. A bonus would be if Cap, Thor, Iron man, Hulk and S.H.I.E.L.D. have their own seperate themes. I have a feeling he wrote a theme for them as one, which is cool if it's "iconic"and perfectly symbolizes the Avengers.

I think Silvestri should take one note from each one of these characters themes and make a really kick-ass two-note theme!

Sorry if you thought I was being confrontational, but I guess the point I'm trying to get at is that it's too bad you seem to have decided that THE AVENGERS will be a lousy score in advance because it may or may not match what you think the music should be before you've even seen the film. I think Silvestri did a good job on CAPTAIN AMERICA (and on on G.I. JOE too, although the film is staggeringly awful), and I don't really understand how it can be described as inadequate for the film it is heard in. Is it possible that he won't take the approach you've prescribed on AVENGERS and still turn in a decent score? Maybe we should both see / hear it first and then evaluate how he did?
And as a tangent, like most people here, I love the Indy scores, but I think we can agree that few composers are on the level that John Williams was in the early 80s. You're right that CAPTAIN AMERICA isn't INDY, just as Joe Johnson isn't Spielberg, and, for all his talent, Silvestri isn't Williams. I don't really think he's trying to be, though: I think that like most composers, he's trying to come up with music that works for the movie, and most of the time, he seems to do it well.
