Theory: The lackluster sound on Marvel Disney movies isn't due to Disney: IT'S MARVEL - Blu-ray Forum

bendermac · 06-05-2019, 08:04 PM

So a lot of the Marvel movies on UHD/BD distributed by Disney are pretty lackluster when it comes to bass and dynamics. But why we give Disney a lot bad rep, I start to believe the problem isn't Disney at all. The problem is Marvel

Why do I make this assumption? Toy Story on UHD! All 3 movies are very dynamic and have some really deep base and that's in their newly created Atmos mixes.
So what do you guys think about this? Should we blame Disney or actually Marvel for the crappy sounds?

You know, I’m something of a scientist myself.

The Incredibles does lack as well, and is a Pixar title. Blame Disney.

I actually blame you, specifically.

The older Marvel movies when they were with Paramount all had massive sound. As soon as it changed to Disney they instantly became borked and piss-weak.

You know Marvel doesn’t actually work on the mixes right? It’s the studio that releases it.

So Marvel is not part of Disney? Could it just be you and crappy sound system?

The Toy Story sound is probably so great because Disney knew that the visual upgrade was minimal, to be honest.

fighthefutureofhd · 06-05-2019, 09:11 PM

Here we go again with the tired animation yields little results in picture quality on 4k vs. Blu-ray. Man, some people never stop.

BluBonnet · 06-05-2019, 09:18 PM

Sounds like what? I can't hear you at all! Speak louder!!!

TXMoviebuff77 · 06-05-2019, 10:51 PM

But the older ones were released from Paramount, I think Iron Man 3 was the first official release from Disney. The first Thor by far has the worst sound, the others I had to crank up my sound bar.

Spiderman: Homecoming sounds quite good, too.

The OP's theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, his methods are sloppy, and his conclusions are highly questionable.

Motion to dismiss without prejudice, your honor!

We'll know for sure when Disney starts releasing Fox catalog titles.

Because that's not a Disney release.

Last Jedi's audio is weak too, it's not just Marvel.
