Black Adam: 20 WTF Moments
18. Paint It Black = Most Obvious Musical Choice EVER
Despite the appeal of the movie's smash-mouth action, though, it was tough not to cringe at the hilariously ham-fisted use of The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black" when Adam obliterates an Intergang convoy early in the film.
Granted, AC/DC's "Back In Black" was presumably off the table after being used in the original Iron Man, but even so, the final musical choice is perfectly emblematic of Black Adam as a whole: as subtle as a brick and half as smart.
It's a fun beat in the moment, but did the filmmakers basically just Google "songs with the word 'black' in the title" and settle for the first result? C'mon, guys.
