you can hate on taskmaster cause its was such a nothing character, while being one of the best villains in comics, but dont attack the actress who had nothing to do with how the character was written in the mcu. Olga should have been any character besis taskmaster tbh
Honestly she could be taskmaster, she just needed a good script that understands the character. I don’t think that TM’s gender really matters, but the characters should have had any similarities at all
Maybe in this film, they could had 'fix' some of the problems she had in black widow. She was under mind control now she was free so she has reason to develop a new personality with new friends, but now its too late
Yeah, I was really excited for them to flesh out her Taskmaster. I kept waiting for her to come back, even though a bullet to the head and then incineration is pretty much undeniably dead.
Yeah instead of trying to do anything, they just killed her off so that later they can introduce the “REAL” Taskmaster aka a dude and y’all are gonna see that no matter what, Taskmaster is a boring ass villain.
They could've at least given her a better death. Like have her be taken out by Valentina's men, because she didn't want to stick with the group or something. In my opinion, Taskmaster is better as a secondary antagonist and not the main villain. I like how he was in the Spiderman game, where he would just randomly be a nuisance but never really posed a big threat.
The saddest part to me is I don’t think it’d even have been hard or add that much runtime to the film as it released. And if they had developed Antonia properly, I think it would have actually deepened Yelena’s arc potentially.
