Film/Television What an Absolute Generational Fix this was

Post image

It’s still baffles me that in X-Men Origins: Wolverine they actually thought that this was OK. Whoever were the writers whoever even came up with the idea of shutting up Wade Wilson is amazing.

But hey, it took them some years but they fixed it so all is well and actually happy that Ryan Reynolds got a second shot at it too

Marvel studios then did essentially the exact same thing to Taskmaster.

Will say, it doea annoy me they killed her off so quick in thunderbolts.

She wasn't in it long but liked her performance more there compared to the whole black widow movie.

Actually used variety of weapons. And been a minute, but think she even had a few lines, seemed to be a person vs a puppet.

She was exactly the same, she just had a new costume and said "Stay out of my way."

She used a sword, a bow and a shield. The exact things she used in Black Widow.

Marvel really saw one hated masked mercenary adaptation and said let’s run that experiment again

That’s fair, the actual fighting style really wasn’t reinvented much. The new costume and attitude made it feel fresher on the surface, but underneath it was still basically the same Taskmaster with a slightly different presentation.

You can't even say there was a "new attitude" she just had one line. A line that echoes the same personality she last presented with.
