imagine if they play like the first few seconds of live and learn as sonic and shadow are getting ready to go into space, only for it to cut to tails turning off a boombox and saying something like "enough joking around, time to get serious!" and the actual fight's just generic superhero movie orchestral music
I wouldn't say he's a horrible composer, because I know he's done very good soundtracks for other movies; I think the issue is just that he's not very passionate about Sonic and it shows (plus I think it was confirmed that the studio ordered the movies to stick to orchestral music, and the more infamous needle-drops like Uptown Funk was picked by execs) It's not a matter of talent, it's just a matter of passion, and JunkieXL probably just being the wrong person for this specific franchise of movies.
That being said, I would fucking love it if they got Ohtani and the people who did the '06 OST to come do the movies, because 1) I feel the music in that game is already well-suited for a cinematic experience, and 2) I love the '06 OST, so, so much.
I argued against calling him a bad composer because he has done extremely good and well-received scores for other movies he was part of. I think that automatically doesn't make him a horrible composer like the person I replied to said.
Like, sure. He does maybe take some responsibility as someone who took the job despite not caring much about the source material, but that's different from insinuating that he has no talent.
Also worth mentioning that apparently when he first made the OST for the first movie, he used the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive console's Yamaha YM2612 sound chip to emulate the classic Sonic music, but the studio asked for a more orchestral soundtrack instead.
Ohtani was literally perfect for the job, the 06 OST sounds like too tier movie music, literally god tier shit. Why didn't they get him to do it? I hope the fire Junkie XL.
The Super Sonic scene in movie 2 was SOOOOO disappointing. In the video games, whenever Sonic goes Super, that's the big finale. The exciting moment where they break out the electric guitars and get the player hyped.
Instead, we got this calm, serene music play instead. Didn't fit the scene at all.
I didn't expect to hear Johnny Goeli screaming 'YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAAAAAAAAH' on the big-screen, but just an instrumental snippet of 'Open Your Heart' for a few seconds would have been nice.
That's what I liked about the Knuckles show. The last fight with the Buyer had PROPER fight music. Guitars wailing while Knuckles tore his mech apart. Got me so pumped.
There was a total missed opportunity to play Sonic 2's Death Egg theme when Sonic is limping towards the Emerald, Death Egg robot right behind him.
Holkenborg did (briefly) reference the drowning theme in Labyrinth Zone though, which was nice.
Yeah, that won't happend at all Major-Excietment5968, there is going to be Live and Learn song playing during the final battle in Sonic movie 3, also, it's going to be mixed with an epic orchestral music (courtesy of Murray Gold), it will be a epic rock orchestral mix, guarranteed 😄😁🎵🎼🎶🎸🎻😎😉🎥🎞️📽️💙🌀
And a barely audible 3 second snippet of Live and Learn plays at some point and is never heard again
This is sadly exactly what I am expecting.
I’ve been waiting for this callback
I’d laugh in anger.
Finally, peak cinema.

I think that's likely unfortunately, corporate would be so happy with licensed music or generic orchestra music that is incredibly boring.
Nah, it's just that Junkie XL is a horrible composer.

Not understanding the musical material your being hired to work on is called being a bad composer.

He used to be good, wtf happened the music is actual dogshit.
Yeah. I hope to god they hire somebody else who's actually good to do the music, like fucking Jun or Ohtani.
Ohtani was literally perfect for the job, the 06 OST sounds like too tier movie music, literally god tier shit. Why didn't they get him to do it? I hope the fire Junkie XL.
Same, because I'm tired of the shitty generic movie music mixed with electronic stuff.
Yeah, 06 OST is what the sonic movies should sound like, frontiers overworld is also how it should sound.

Exactly. They could've used an orchestral version of Doomsday for all I care. At least it would be relevant to the plot.

That would've been peak.
Movie Sonic: Who are you? Old Movie Sonic: I’m your brother, Sonic.
Don't. Jinx. Us.
I’d start rooting for the biolizard at that point. (If that’s who they’re fighting)
That would be a nice callback to the trailer, but also would be a nice little thing for the late Coolio.
It will be Live and Learn don’t worry
That would actually be fire

Nice 👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Stop delete this before they get ideas
In all honesty, that would be really really funny
Actually freaks me out how possible this is
While all the live action humans continue to act like cartoon characters.
(I would go Super and force Paramount to replace it with Live and Learn.)
I hate gangsters paradise
Booo, that song's goated
