    There’s a game for the SNES called Act Raiser, I think it was by Quintet or Taito or Square, one of those. You play Actual God taking back the world from Probably Satan, you do this partly in a side scrolling platforming combat style, and partially in an overhead city building style. Surprisingly good soundtrack for a game as weird as it is.

    The TV show Suits has a great soundtrack, but I’d argue that it’s not mediocre though.

      I’ve been trying to get into that because I crave juicy legal stuff. Bit tired of the supergenius-assholes trope we see in Sherlock, though, and it seems like Mike is a super genius and his boss Harvey is a genius asshole. Yes I let YouTube shorts dictate what new shows I delve into ✋😔

        It’s not a super-genius thing, it’s a perfect memory of thing’s he has read and the super memory trope is rarely used in the show. So you’re safe. Even when it is used, it’s somewhat explained well.

    Oasis of fear, sexploitation movie, not very good, but cool scenery, the song weirdly slaps and is sung multiple times in the movie in different genres, I was shazaming the song couldn’t find it and found out it was sung by the actor for the movie. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9g08tc

    Scott Pilgrim vs. the World has an awesome soundtrack.

    The movie itself, has aged towards somewhere between mediocre and good.

    Depending on who you ask, Tron: Legacy.

    (I personally love the movie and rewatch it every couple years but it didn’t do well, IIRC.)

    I murdered a lot of reapas in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer to some of those songs.

      The movie was OK, but I vastly prefer the original. It has a certain 80s “Gee whiz aren’t these newfangled computers the greatest” feeling that you just can’t recapture.

    Lord of the Rings: Vol I for SNES. The game is worse than mediocre. It’s utter trash. I remain convinced they blew the budget on the soundtrack! It does a lot of things you really don’t hear that often on the SNES! Amazing!

      If Spawn counts as a mediocre movie with good music, then you’d think Flash Gordon would be in the same category. But I don’t think either of those movies are mediocre.

        I mean, cool, I fucking loved it, but let’s be real that outside of John leguizamo, the performances were mid. And it had almost no lasting impact. It’s just kind of an “oh yeah that was a movie wasn’t it” mid 90s comic book schlock.

        But that album was like, actually peak 90s metal/ hardcore.

          I might have a strange definition of mediocre, but basically, I think that if I had seen the movie once, and then I decide it’s worth watching again, then somehow it must not be mediocre. I’ve seen Spawn several times.

            I think “mediocre” in this context would be mediocre to most people. Rather than you specifically. At least, that’s why I added some brackets explaining my Tron: Legacy answer in this post. (I personally don’t think it’s mediocre but imagine most did.)

              I think “mediocre” in this context would be mediocre to most people.

              I think you cannot ask about something subjective without getting people’s personal opinions. If you ask about an aspect of a mediocre thing, then you can expect at least some debate about what counts as mediocre, and probably none of the people’s answers will be correct.

              For me, a “mediocre” movie would be something that I would only watch again if a friend wanted to watch it, but if it was just an option and I got to choose, I’d never choose it. But if it was just “on”, I might not change the channel. Let’s see, like The Rock directed by Michael Bay.

              And then there are “bad” movies that I wouldn’t watch even if I had a friend who wanted to see it, like any other Michael Bay movie that I’ve seen. Armageddon had pretty good music, but it wasn’t mediocre. It was bad.
