Here is My Villain Review of Taskmaster

Now I'm going to discuss the character of Taskmaster Who is the secondary villain in 2021's Black Widow and explain why she is one of the worst MCU villains and why she is completely inaccurate to her comic counterpart. 

Origin- Now Taskmaster´s origin is really weird and doesn't make sense So she is the daughter of General Dreykov and she had been trained in the red room and her dad experimented on her and weaponized her to become the most skilled marksman and assassin and See what they want in criminal for the organization field and that's it that is her entire origin and the film does a really terrible job of telling her orange and story. 

Character- Honestly the character of Taskmaster is  a mess because the movie makes you think that she is a guy under the costume and she has this ability that she can mimic other superheroes fighting abilities and that is kind of the only thing they got right and the comic accurate costume but  those two things she barely talks in the comics task mastery talks a lot he  also run a school to train other criminals to be skilled assassins but in this film she doesn't do that and for some reason that's filmed the agenda bend him into a woman and that didn't bother  me because I was okay with it but at the same time I feel like you didn't really need to gender bend the character you could just made Taskmaster like how he is in the comic so overall the film though they all for job of adapting the character of taskmaster as well because it gets everything wrong Aside from the costume and the mimicking the fighting style of other characters. Also the twist revealed that Taskmaster was a woman who was just really dumb and didn't really make sense and all is so predictable. I think it's up there with the Mandarin twist from Iron Man 3 as one of the worst NCU Twister reveals ever. 

Motivation- Now Taskmaster’s motivations  Don't really make sense because she is tasked to bring black widow back to the red room so her dad  General Dreykov. That is there and to be honest This is one of the most Boring villain motivations since Kro From the internals had the worst villain motivation well this one just doesn't make any sense because the film barely touches upon her motivation until the near end of the film so the film also doesn't do a terrific job I'll give you a proper villain motivation. 

Best Scenes- To be honest Taskmaster doesn't really have any  interesting moments. I guess if I had to pick one it'll be the scene where she fights Black Widow on the bridge. I think that was a really decent moment with the character. But the thing is over that you'll blink and you'll miss it. That's how rush that sync with one So memorable as it was it kind of not memorable because they just rushed through that action secret so fast. So the film also does an awful job of giving taskmaster any memorable moments because they're quickly over after they start. 

Evil Deeds- To be honest Taskmaster does kill a few people She's trying to get Black Window under her control but assigned from that I can't remember anything that the character did like with Ikaris from Eternals I can remember a lot of the evil stuff he has done but with taskmaster I just simply don't now don't get me wrong she is way more evil than Kro from the eternals because that villain was so forgettable to stupid that I couldn't remember any evil stuff he did. Well Taskmaster is still bad, at least I sort of remember what evil will stuff she did in the film. I think the film also Doesn't do a good job showing how evil Taskmaster is because they don't show we're doing evil stuff. 

Conclusion- Taskmaster is a terrible MCU villain and the character is a mess. Her origin is not accurate to the comics. The only thing I enjoyed was the bridge fight between her and black window even though it was forgettable. The costume looked accurate and her ability to mimic other superheroes fighting styles was a decent idea on paper but it didn't fully work and the gender bending was really weird and didn't make sense. Now the actress that played Taskmaster Olga Kurylenki Was really bad because it feels like she'll just sleep walking throughout her performance and it felt like she didn't really want to be in the movie she just did this for a simple paycheck. Also the twist revealed that  Taskmaster was revealed as a woman was just really stupid and makes sense. Also Taskmaster will go down the worst comic the movie  you will ever see. I'm going to give Taskmaster a 2/10.
