Black Widow Movie: Taskmaster(Film) VS Taskmaster(Comics)
14With the new trailer of Marvel’s Black Widow releasing today, I had a few judgments to make about Taskmaster. Everywhere from who he serves, to how he looks- here’s all the changes marvel makes to one of their greatest villains for the Black Widow movie.
In the comics, Taskmaster is a mercenary who will do any job if it means money. In the trailer, we see this guy whose name is General Dreykov, the guy who runs the Red Room where women are made into black widows. He was previously mentioned by Loki in the Avengers when Loki referred to Natasha as ‘Dreykov’s daughter’. Anyway, this guy’s intimate proximity to Taskmaster tells me that Marvel made Taskmaster daddy’s little errand boy. This means to say that Taskmaster is not a mercenary like his comic counterpart, but a guy under the thumb of another guy- for free!
In the comics, Taskmaster is known for his iconic skull head mask, and his white hood and cowl, accompanied by a skin-tight suit of either white, blue, or orange. As you can see, the suit looks to be really boxy, while maintaining that iconic orange. However, the film presents the skull mask to be more like something one would wear when skiing on Halloween. Jokes aside, I can defend this one as the only way to release the film in China would be to dumb down the skull face because China has a rule about skulls not being allowed in movies.
Since Taskmaster is loyal to this Russian guy, it’s safe to say that Marvel scrapped the part of Taskmaster’s origin where he has a wife named Mercedes Merced. Mercedes was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who helped Taskmaster when he was working for shield and wasn’t yet a mercenary. However, you could argue that the whole loyalty thing is as a result of Taskmaster’s comic book memory loss and he really was a part of SHIELD, making him a part of Black Widow’s past that she says she can’t keep running from.
Last but not least, in the comics, Taskmaster really isn’t the strong silent type like they present him to be in the film. I mean, we have yet to hear a single word from this guy. Let alone, even know of the person playing him. In the comics, he speaks confidently, he’s got your classic ominous and dark demeanor as he is a man of stealth and tactic. This guy in the film does present himself to be quite the mute though, so I guess it remains to be seen if we get even that of a face reveal.
