Oh noes! Not electronic! What would Goldsmith and Jarre think?

Looks like Doyle's getting strongarmed into another chugga-chugga-chugga fest. 
Wow, from just one quote you already know how this score is gonna turn out? Impressive dude, very impressive!

I love Patrick Doyle's work in the 1990s. LOVE it. His 1993 alone puts most modern composers to shame. But this "Grandpap's Guide To Synthesizers" style he's adopted recently just does absolutely nothing for me at all. It only makes his orchestral elements sound thin, weak and easy to shove into lockers.

No one is fool around here.
It is obvious that both Branagh and Doyle were "sugested" to go "zimmer style" on the score of "Thor".
There is nothing "modern" about it. In fact, it is quite the opposite. "Zimmer style" is primitive.
But it is just the way some studio executives believe teenagers like their movie music these days.

Yes, many older things sound like Zimmer. Like, like, like.... Um.....

Doyle made a conscious decision with Branagh to go modern with Thor, nobody forced him to do anything. He said it's one of the first things he and Branagh talked about.
This is not what Doyle described in a video interview with Cut Filmmaking Network. They've since deleted the long interview from their site, but here what I wrote about what I heard him say:
"Listened to about 3/4th of the interview I linked above. My anticipation for his "Thor" score just went bye-bye, with him describing how the interference was like somebody standing on his shoulder, don't do this, don't do that, and, quote: "old school was a no-no"; couldn't even use trumpets until, as he said, about the last reel. And most everything had to be kept below middle C to appease, and anything above had to be really quiet."

I suspect Doyle realized his candidate reveal of the behind-the-scenes, wasn't probably not the best idea, hence the interview being taken down.
I don't know when exactly the interview went up, but it was first talked about here late March, 2011. Was that before Tim's interview?

It also contradicts what we actually heard in the film.

The trailer gives me hope that Branagh has pulled off an interesting thriller with intense action.
Here´s hoping that Branagh could push for freedom for Doyle´s composing.

Was it? The character moments and the acting felt rather singular to me.
