They literally had a Goku float at the Macy's Day ParadeThere are a lot of billion dollar franchises people have not heard of. One Piece is the best selling visual comic thing of all time and isn't that well known. Money =/= mainstream knowledge.
Pretty much where I stand. It's a slow burn in popularity. Batman and Superman had themes that hit right out on release. This one took a bit to grow on me, and now when I hear it, it's pretty iconic to "The Avengers".
just realized this is the closest that anyone has come to star wars/batman/superman iconic in the last 30 years:
It's all in our head guys. I'm getting Niche-Man flashbacks
I'd say it's recognizable in that if you heard it you'll probably be able to state it's the Avengers theme.
But it's not iconic because I feel like if you asked most people what is the Avengers theme they wouldn't necessarily know it off hand.
I also, and probably woefully wrong, only really remember its usage in the first movie. Like I'm sure in Age of Ultron and Infinity Wars, but couldn't tell you when and where
Yeah at this point I think it's iconic or at least will be in due time. Problem is that it only really appears in the Avenger films and even then it wasn't used that well in Age of Ultron.
I just think the problem with the song is that it wasn't until Infinity War that they used the song in scenes well enough for it to become iconic but I think after Endgame the argument of it being iconic will be more in it's favor.
With that said I think the MCU isn't completely devoid of good songs. I love Antman's and the Guardians of the Galaxy themes and I wish they had more recognition but I guess that comes from songs only being in these movies.
The fact is unless they make a leitmotif that's used in every MCU film the MCU is never going to get a song on the same level as the Star Wars themes. Sometimes exposure is what makes a song standout and none of the MCU songs really get that exposure past their film
LOL not until it wins an oscar, right?
I hope I live long enough to see all the folks get into movies and shit because they were inspired by the movies.
It's only synonymous with the brand because there's only two recognizable tunes in the entire MCU: This and the Captain America March. So the 2 minutes of it get shoehorned everywhere.

It's not. The gist is, today's filmmakers want music to fade into the background:
I believe it was Kevin who specifically called out that video as the reason they were changing the way they approached scoring MCU films going forward.The Avengers theme is continually one of the loudest blaring themes I've heard in cinema, so, nah.
I saw WW twice and I have no freaking clue what the theme is.There isn't a single iconic theme across the MCU. Even the DCEU has the Wonder Woman theme.

Avengers Theme is getting there.
