There is absolutely no way to guess where this video is going until it hits you in the face like a steel chair
One reason why his content is awesome.
Or unless you see the first comment before the video loads
yea I was waiting for him to say that it sounds like superman's theme (because the title says so) and I thought that's it.. boy, was I wrong
And once that steel chair has hit you in the face, you are laughing like a maniacal idiot for the next 5 minutes while your dog and girlfriend stare at you weirdly!
Wait, just me? Pretend you didn't see that previous statement! XD
This was so incredible hahahaha
He thought too deep and heard too far, but in the end it doesn't even matter.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
**gasp** the endgame was inside him all along
I understood that reference
Yeah he overthinks to the point he should give his head a place to rest
Is this a reference to the original song?
When a PhD uses their expertise to prove their dumb thought was actually genius.
But that Ant man muddle theme, tho. Until he said it, I never paid attention to the music, didn't know Ant-man had a theme, didn't know Ant-man was supposed to be a james bond rip off, I thought Ant-man was a loser character that gets a suit because weak reasons, dumb movie reasons.
@@Ryuuken24 it’s because almost all marvel movies’ music is so generic sounding that it all becomes noise. I can assure you that I’ve heard none of these patterns in any of the songs. The only reason why everyone remembers the avengers theme is because they keep blasting it in every movie
@@Ryuuken24 well that’s a strong opinion that you have just stated as if it’s a fact.
@@ChibiSteak You are so far from correct there. People recognise the avengers theme because it is played whenever a big cinematic moment with all the avengers on screen happens. For example, every fucking avengers team up in every avengers film.
@@ChibiSteak also the music is not generic at all lol. Maybe you didn’t think it was very good but it is not generic that is just so far from true.
Level 1: the avengers music sounds familiar
Level 2: The avengers music sounds like linkin park
Level 3: All music is secretly linkin park
My boy cracked the code here.^
lol. Technically, you could relate Linkin park to older music as well. The chain doesn't really end.
@@CaptPhiI Linkin Park actually uncovered all their music from a Sumerian clay tablet and it's Linkin Park all the way down
“You can hear music incorrectly.”
Idunno, man.
“I listened to the epic music at the climax of a 20 movie series and heard Linkin Park.”
Ohhh.

Brickhead 5678 I TRIED SO HARD
@@dieling9807 AND YET SO FAR!!!
whenever hear of Lincoln Park I think of the hide your kids hide your wife guy
My mind was moving at 100mph trying to keep up with everything and then the reveal of Linkin Park made it crash into a stone wall
bro...I was reaching that point where I go "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?", and then I heard Linkin Park and completely lost my head
right?!
In Thor 3 a different composer lifted some soundtrack pieces from Stargate SG-1 as well.
The fact that I understood all of that scares me
I read this comment when he is linking in superman and became a massive question mark since I didn't expect any of this to somehow lead to Linkin Park
Fun fact: Beethoven did not share the idea we have today, that the beauty of music lies with the holder. When someone would criticize his music he would think that it wasn't his fault, the listener just needed to adjust to liking his music
I dont like the idea that somehow quality is 100% subjective... it makes no sense when u think of it. It can only be that way if everyone that experiences it is an untrained eye/ear..
@@brunolopes2205 i think it is subjective if you mean a pleasure to listen to smth but not subjektiv in this is a great piece of music in how it is composed
Take rap as a exsample lyrics arent important to ppl enjoying the music but Eminem has songs i dont like to listen to wich are genius in writting
Excuse my bad english im not native and cant be bothered to corrcet my bad writting
Beethoven pulling the "Suck it, Casuals !!"
I could believe that, Beethoven seems like the personality that would say ‘git gud scrub’
And he was not wrong.
Well, my pleb mind heard that base drum and horn and thought “20th Century Fox”
That's where I thought he was gonna go for a bit honestly
BRILLIANT
I thought of "taps", that one little military horn thing people play at night
apologies to people who actually know what it is, it was referenced once in a book I read *years* ago & thats about all i know of it
I wouldn't consider myself a musical expert, especially with my ear, but isn't the 20th Century Fox theme played with a snare drum?
Ey same
Well, I don’t know who has a pleb brain, me or you, but I heard Universal

@2ndBookofLaughter ok. I'll have to give it a listen.
When you seperated out that opening part of Portals, it wasn't Superman I heard, or Linkin Park, but I actually heard Jurassic Park. Which kind of works because it's the idea of rebirth and restarting, which matches with what Marvel is planning to do with the MCU in the future
I also heard Jurassic Park
And John Williams wrote the score to both _Superman_ and _Jurassic Park_ ... could be a coincidence, could be aliens, I dunno
I heard Apollo 13.

And after that two of his old videos got blocked...
😂👍 Don't give them any ideas. I love his knowledge and appreciation of music.

I love him for his music on back to the furture and want used in my onagial series
Hold on, i tot you were just joking when mention the linkin park. Then I keep watching this vid, then HOLLY GOD IN HIGH HEAVEN!
Here I am, 3 years after the video came out, watching for like the tenth time and that twist at the end still puts a stupid smile on my face. God I love this channel. I sincerely hope he comes back someday.
me too man :)
Yea, I’d pay money for more of all of this

Silvestri could have thrown the Linkin Park reference in as a joke for his own amusement, it's the sort of thing I do to amuse myself when I'm working on a big project never expecting anyone to notice.
Sideways: "Portals has 6 key changes which is representative of the Infinity Stones.:
Me: "Okay, makes sense. That's actually amazing."
Sideways: "Portals theme is secretly 'In The End' by Linkin Park."
Me: "Wait what? *thinks for a second* That explains everything."
This channel is the definition of "and now you can't unhear it."

This is the most educational, comedic, and strange rant I've ever seen
Welcome to sideways
I love this guy's energy, especially when he gets angry.
Pretty much every rant he makes on this channel. Isn't it great?
does it make it worse that I heard this? czcams.com/video/C7Qo2QZ8NE8/video.html
I'm new here but from what I've seen thats all of this guys content
absolutely adore the way you write your videos. Especially going "You know, the DUN. DUN. DUN DUN DUN. DUN. DUN DUN =insert the actual mission impossible theme="
Weirdly enough its exactly moments like THESE that really convey to me that Sideways is hella smart. Hes so invested in his thought process that he absolutely doesn't give a single solid fuck about such little moments of getting across a different kind of basic communication. X3
First video i've seen from this content creator. 24 and a half minutes that basically amounts to " I think The Avengers Endgame theme sounds a bit like linkin park" and i loved every second of it.
"It's in 5/4"
me, and anyone who plays music: terrified face
Jokes on you i only play in 5/4
But really I prefer additive metre, 5/4 is boring and even.
Unless you think of it as 3-2.
At least it's not 9/8
I have ptsd
Screw off with your 9/8 and you can take your 32nd notes too
In high school marching band, we did a field show to Holst's “Mars, the Bringer of War”.
“I don’t think Portals is Linkin Park, I think it’s just a variation on Thanos’ theme.”
Plot twist: *Thanos’ Theme* is Linkin Park.
Thanos: *kills gamora*
Music: CRAAAAAAWLIIIIING IN MY SKIIIIIIIIN, THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAAAAAAAAAL
It would be if he tried really hard to do something but then it was undone and didn't matter. It'd probably be even more meaningful if he sacrificed the thing he loved most to do it, making that loss even more painful. But mcu bad, disney dumb, they would never... WAIT A SECOND

Fun fact: I got the space vibe too from captain marvels theme, but more from it sounding like something mix of super Mario galaxy, and superman.
Y'know funny enough combine those two and you have a decent approximation of Captain Marvel. Space, and Superman type powers.
"Suck it Game of Thrones,"
Hmm... Well... They did.
In your defense, The Incredibles had a "spy element" to it
The family was sneaking around an evil scientist's secret island - basically a Bond premise
He mentioned that, and then explained that he didn't associate it with the spy idea, but with a superhero one.
The whole concept of High-tech Villain Island with a lair built quite literally inside a volcano sounds very, very Bond to me, so, yeah
Yeah it’s a crime noir film with superheroes in it.
Plus the family does illegal stuff (being superheroes) to save the world, so quite closer thematically than a James Bond or Mission Impossible
The score was done by the same guy that scored Mission Impossible and if you listen to the Incredits (2), you can hear the similarity to the MI theme
This video walks a tight line between insanity and genius.
I love it.
Tom James best tight line ever
Since when is there a difference?
Exactly
Best thing is putting those two together
"This is either madness or brilliance."
"It’s remarkable how often those two traits coincide."
I played classic violin for 12 years and ultimately the main thing I took away was that all music sounds like something else. There are only so many ways that you can arrange notes so you end up with parts of songs sounding very similar to each other. Must be very frustrating to some composer trying to make original pieces only to wind up with, "Man, this sounds like Harry Potter" or "This reminds me of Skyrim".
I played this for my friends because I thought it was neat and they accused me of essentially rick rolling them
They really did try so hard and get so far.
But in the end, does it even matter?

@@THEGRANDLAY he went from obtuse to acute
Yea, all the call outs man
First time watching this channel - is this a common thing here?
I don't have a problem with that.
That being said, my favorite music moment in cinema was the callback to tears in rain at the end of blade runner 2049. That ending, made me tear up. And now I know that, I want to know more about it, in a deconstructive, analytical and critical point of view, highlighting various possible connections and context; just like this Endgame video does it. Good job, Sideways!
I absolutely lost my shit with laughter when it switched to piano, I 100% didn’t see where this was going and I adore it so much.
i can't unhear it now, now when the protal scene happen i actually hear linkin park now
I....I'm .......I'm at a loss for how you saw linkin park. You had to literally show me this. Now I don't think I'll ever unsee it ever again

Oh my gosh I thought I was the only one my choir ears were screaming at me.

*shutters in Music Major*
That portion reminded me of a song called undertow by john macky first off GIVE IT A LISTEN then figure out the key signature then find my comment
Undertow is alternating between 4/4 and 7/8 every measure and its so cool and you had to count the song like this [] 1,2 1,2 1,2,3 [] 1,2,3,4 [] and it was by far the coolest time signatures ive ever had to play around with
I kid you not first time hearing it i was trying to keep time with the music and i had to replay it 50 times before i gave up i got the music and i was like well... that explains alot
I agree, all these asymmetrical time signatures and the songs alternating between two are the best. They are definitely the most fun to play. There is a snow-white suite (NOT from Disney's music) with a theme for the dwarves in 7/8. It is absolutely gorgeous
“Captain Marvel sounds like Star Trek!”
Me: OMFG THATS WHAT THAT IS ITS LIKE AN ITCH I NEVER KNEW I HAD GETTING SCRATCHED

This is like when the english teacher tells you that the blue curtain signifies the character's true feelings.
Execpt the teacher provides evidence for why the blue curtain does that.
And it somehow works to convince the class that the character has blue curtains in their room for a reason.
Have you read The Yellow Wallpaper? It does stuff like that.
@@m.hankins2210 And it's never convincing unless it's a film criticism class because if the audience is outside the work enough to analyze abstract symbolism the author has failed. Musical and to a limited extent visual symbolism can reach the subconscious, but in text you need to engage the conscious mind, which means the conscious mind can't be immersed.
Thus, authors don't do that sort of shit unless they're either writing allegory or writing for literary critics not actual humans. Or possibly trolling. literary critics. I think Andrew Hussie was probably trolling literary critics.
@@nathanbrown8680 Immersion/entertainment isn't always the author's goal my man.
"What's-her-face" C'mon man how are you gonna dis Peggy Carter like that?

I took it as a diss to Steve staying back in time
AKA Agent Carter, founder of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I couldn't name or remember hardly anything about her until I watched the Agent Carter TV show. Which was excellent. But still, the films didn't do much to make her stand out beyond a handful of scenes in the first Cap movie.
@@PrinceofArfon Cap visited her on her death bed in Winter Soldier.... And she played a major role in Cap's back story. I think she also appeared in Age of Ultron, and Ant-Man.

“I didn’t have a stroke... I think.”
I've heard stories of how Adolphe Sax (inventor of the saxophone) was banished from towns by other instrument makers because his new instrument kept seducing all the local women.
the first rockstar
Not so sure about the seducing bit, but yeah other musicians, especially French instrument makers, really had a huge rage boner for Adolphe's new toy.
So much so that the sax was basically banished from orchestras and woodwind/horn ensembles up to when people noticed 'huh we never really use this thing, so why not?'. You can find some more modern classical music using saxophones and I find that it sounds rather decent.
Look up David Bruce Composer’s video on Saxophones where he discusses why orchestras be judgmental about the instrument (mostly because Saxophones are OP and make half the other brass instruments obsolete and the makers of the other instruments got jealous)
😂😂😂legendary
think about there is an electric guitar shows up in your orchestra
Not only does the Endgame theme change keys six times. It ended on an E, which is a 6th above the G where the music started.
@rabid well, the video interprets the six key changes as a possible allusion to both the original six avengers and the six infinity stones, so I was just suggesting another interesting use of the number six by the composer that could contribute to that interpretation.
E for ENDGAME
@rabid The significance is another instance of the number six
I Have begun writing an alt score to the MCU. For Greater coherency across the saga Any Thoughts?
It started with G and finished on E because Ironman game ended Thanos in an epic gamer move
It’s interesting to think that thanos theme is in the deep strings (double bass and cellos) but the response is in the heroic brass. Like I definitely heard it as a response (only after my third viewing. First two times I was still floored with that scene)

Well, we have had Reed Richards, Charles Xavier, Tony Stark, Blackbolt, and Dr. Strange all appear onscreen. We're missing Namor though.
Ummm... wasn't the first Avenger... you know... technically Captain America...? 😅
@@itsvee7828 fair point, but the first Avenger that got an MCU movie was Iron Man. He's the one that kicked off the decade of movies.

This is finally my moment to share how I always hear the avengers theme "wrong". I hear it and always think I'm about to hear the us army recruitment song (like the one played in commercials) because, to me, they start very similarly.

Everybody gangsta until Sideways breaks out the 9/8
Oh man I was so hyped at11:18 when he describes the minor 7th and I immediately thought "wait that's Star Trek" and got immediately validated
The bass drum from when the portal opens makes me remember the Elder Scrolls theme. You could also call it the beating heart theme, or the prophecy theme if you only consider the bass drum part because it's originally the beating of the Heart of Lorkhan but is later used to describe the Last Dragonborn in his prophecy to stop the end of time. But, yeah. This video is really good.

For what it's worth when magic: the gathering did its big end of a massive arc culminating in a fight between all the heroes and the supervillain where the multiverse itself is at stake... (War of the Spark)
They just straight up used a cover of In The End for their trailer.
Maybe that theme you referred to as being present in Porch, Portals, and the beginning of Endgame could be seen as a sense of returning home, as that is technically what happens in all three instances (if you count the snapped returning as that same kind of idea). Great video, I love music theory and I’ve now fallen down a rabbit hole into your videos!
Most people: Isn't music subjective? Isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder?
Sideways: Well yes, but actually no.
It was mad because I literally thought about this yesterday. Music is one of the rare things imo that’s both sub and objective.
Sadly enough, I told my friends that Music is subjective and they all completely disagreed with me. Even worse, they played it out like I was retarded for saying that. Good to know I wasn't a knuckle head, and that music is actually subjective
Mohammed Abrar If they’re into like music theory and composition I can see why they’d say that (that’s why I believe it’s somewhat objective) otherwise they may have not have understood the context you were trying to convey. Furthermore, those don’t sound like the best of friends my guy.
Lyrics are very subjective. Music a bit less so. I've thought about how you have the "key" a song is written in, which is your baseline, and anything from that is going to pull on your heart, your emotions. It can still affect differently though.
Well I mean, humans suck at understanding reality outside science, and even there you can find glaring issues.
I for one don't think music is subjective at all. How can you predict and devise systems that provoke the same reaction in a whole lot of people if it's subjective? Whatever subjective means anyways.
11:09 "hey that sounds like star trek"
11:45 "im a f'n genius"
@Sideways okay I know this a year late, but I have to bring your attention to this even greater coincidence.
Around the time that Endgame was coming out, another multi-year story arch was coming to a close in nerd culture.
Magic: The Gathering (the trading card game by wizards of the coast) was releasing the final set in the Bolas storyline (basically dragon Thanos but just evil), titles War of the Spark. It was *the* ensemble set, gathering all the old and new "superheroes" (planeswalkers) together to defeat the Big Bad™️.
Among the cards in the set that helped highlight the story was one named Commence the Endgame.
They also released a cinematic trailer for the set feature, and I kid you not, In The End (albeit a cover) highlighting heroic sacrifice and the end of a major storyline. It's a direct parallel to Endgame, and fits perfectly with so much of the discussion here.
I doubt you'll see this any time soon if at all, but the moment you made the connection to In the End my brain ascended.
That’s awesome, man. It also is interesting that “it starts with one”, and the scene starts with Cap standing alone.
I’ll just go with Alan Silvestri is on a higher plain of existence
And John Williams is the second coming of Christ
Well obviously
Oh he is. He’s better than Williams so yeah for sure
Wega H No way.

My undergrad college roommate is my best friend. We lived together for four years and ended up pursuing different grad schools in 2016. She went back to England and I stayed in the US. I miss her dearly all the time. We still talk and she’s the godmother of my daughter but we haven’t seen each other in person since 2018. She plays the saxophone and I remember sitting in on all her music classes and etc and her talking about things I have no idea about. So when I miss her I come to your channel and I don’t feel as lonely because your content reminds me of the things she is most passionate about. Thank you for what you do
Lmao the Linkin Park connection cracked me up
i feel validated on my love of the antman theme
I love it too! So jumpy, brassy and… FUN! Just like those films! I loved the surf-inspired sound in And-Man and the Wasp.

Sideways heard Linkin Park, some heard the Thanos theme, I heard a slowed down and softer solo version of the Avenger's theme showing Cap as the last one standing there ready to fight before building to that bombastic climax.
The brief moment of pure, unfettered *understanding* after the last music sample plays is one of the worst things I’ve ever felt from a CZcams video and I love it
6:28 I love to see that a music nerd sometimes has to resort to and enjoys just going "Duhn duhn duhn duhn"
That's how percussionists talk. Hey man, do the da da dum da dum part again.
Bruh I’ve been an instrumentalist for 10 years and I joined choir after my college’s choir director heard me just aimlessly singing my euphonium solo from a concert we just played
I actually always thought the beginning of Portals sounded like Captain America's theme but now that you played In the End I can't unhear it.
Check out this piece from The First Avenger. You'll hear the opening of "Portals".

Same
Sounds like God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen to me actually
Me as soon as you started talking about 5/4 time signatures: oh like the incredibles
Sideways: It made me think of the incredibles
Me: YES!
This channel is so cool because like, I don't understand music. I'm literally musically retarded and this guy explains things in a way that even I, someone who is literally too stupid to understand music can understand most of the time, even though he's talking about stuff I don't have a knowledge base for.
"Hears captain marvels theme in the movie"
I hear Jurassic Park.
Yeah tbh I thought it was too 😬
damn
exactly what I thought! :D
I DID TOO
I was just thinking about that. Me too.
Captain Marvel has a theme?
It would have been nice if you had used the ant man theme alone, it was fairly difficult to hear with all the other stuff happening
It's probably to avoid getting hit by the copyright bot :/
@@Ryoko240 Yeah that's what I thought too :/
Connes yeah :/
:/
I'll bet :/
Personally I heard Are you Coming to Scarborough Fair in the portal scene, which, since it was one of the first songs i learned to sing/play on piano, massively amplified the emotional effect that it had on me
good example for the record. at 15:35 as your explaining all that i could swear you were going into deep space nine.
1:18 The fact that the song is “It’s Been a Long, Long Time” is beautiful.
them using that song for the second time in the mcu actually threw me on a loop for a little bit, because the first time they used it was for a different context
Sv en probably what Steve and Peggy did
Did anyone else hear UP when that started playing?
IT'S BEEN SO LONG
My dream is that Sideways will ever talk about Cowboy Bebop's soundtrack
That would be so good!
OKAY 3 2 1 LET'S JAM
+🔥
Lol good luck nerd
@@zxp3ct3r41 oh big guy huh I? Whatcha gonna do? Stuff me in a locker? Steal my lunch money? We're all nerds here, no excuse to talk like that
I audibly GASPED when u said next gen is the best star trek (very comical response on my part, especially giving what u do with editing right after that) and then started laughing uncontrollably when u linked avengers THE LINKING PARK. WHAT. I think u lost ur marbles. and thank u for that. bless u. awesome video like always.
He got to the "repeat this note a bunch of times" bit and as soon as he did, before he even switched to the piano, the penny dropped and I yelled
After this I found Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" in Hamilton's "It's Quiet Uptown" so . . . thanks? 😅
God fucking damnit... how dare you lmao
You got a friend in me matches the beats of guns and ships and I haven’t been able to talk about this until now
I mean, I always hear "Dancing Queen" in "Gaur Plain" from Xenoblade, so I get it.
@@chrish7543 I'm sorry what?? this is the video I need explained now LOL
@@MissRora omfg what have you done to my favorite piece of video game music. I can't unhear that now.
This video should be titled “The song at the end of Endgame kinda sounds like ‘In the End’ and let me spend 20 minutes making you think so.”
No, no, the surprise is pretty great
@@CleverCover05 well not anymore
the funniest thing about the total sound of the example starting at 15:03 to ME is associated with this exhibit about the size of an arcade cabinet at my childhood science museum where there was a fossil nautilus that opened to show how the inside chambers had become opal when it fossilized, but ALSO if i recall correctly, it had a Pepper's Ghost effect to show a reconstruction sculpture of a living nautilus over top
Wild how associations work!
22:08 As a Linkin Park fan as well as the MCU of course, yes you have changed how I perceive Portals now, I cannot unhear it 😂 I did not see that coming.
