Henry Jackman still remembers the “renegade” film score that changed superhero movies forever. The year was 2010. The movie? Kick-Ass.

Jackman would go on to compose music for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, and X-Men: First Class (among others), but he got his start in the genre with director Matthew Vaughn’s R-rated superhero satire.

“Matthew by his very nature has an unconventional, quite punk kind of attitude,” Jackman tells Inverse. “So, I think almost admirably, he’d convinced himself no kind of normal score would do the trick.”

It didn’t. The director and his team had loaded up the soundtrack with needle drops and electronica, but they were struggling to make a cohesive score. When Jackman came aboard, he suggested a simple solution: The movie needed a “traditional superhero theme” to balance out all the new innovations.

There’s nothing groundbreaking about the Apple Watch Series 9. It’s the ninth generation of a smartwatch that’s settled into its purpose as a fitness, health, and safety monitor.

That may sound disappointing to a gadgethead looking for a reason to get the latest and greatest every year, but what I wrote a few years ago is still true:

The Apple Watch isn’t going anywhere. However, when a product is mature, like the Apple Watch is, it’s more important than ever to evaluate new versions in the context of multi-year ownership than annually.

Like a new phone or laptop, the Apple Watch Series 9 is the same smartwatch hundreds of millions of people are familiar with — but better in many little ways that may not be noticeable at first.
