The world of cinema has a lot of requirements to give it that chance to connect with the viewer. For instance, music or lighting or even the camera angles. Music is one of the important pillars to making a memorable scene or to help connect it to a movie(s). Best examples, the "Star Wars" saga. everyone can immediately connect songs like "The Imperial March", or "Duel Of The Fate" ( the really epic fighting music in the prequels). Everyone knows them, so why is it that when it comes to certain movies why does the music not get recognized like it should?
There reason is because some directors just want fill in music or music that has been recycled/used in popular movies, within legal boundaries of course. The music that is used is to just add a sense of whatever emotion they want the viewer to have without them noticing. That's exactly what it does. Take the marvel movies for instance; like in the video "The Marvel Symphonic Universe" by the channel Every Frame a Painting on YouTube. They (the channel) interviewed random people on the street. They asked them if they could sing a Star Wars song off the top of their head. Everyone passed, then they asked them to sing a Marvel universe song. No one could think of one.
It's quite interesting when you think about it, even when marvel has such amazing movies, characters, they still are not the #1 highest grossing movies. Why? Because they along with many other movies don't engage in the zone of music to help connect with the viewers. They want to play it safe to where if they don't do out of the norm (copy and paste kinda norm) music; which is completely understandable at times, they loose the chance to place a mark on the fans. It can majorly harm the reputation and impact of those movies within cinema history and upon the young and old fans.
I agree that it is understandable why movie makers would want to play it safe, but movies should be memorable, and having a great soundtrack is the way to go
