TAKE IT TO TASKMASTER

There are lots of excellent choices when it pertains to choosing a villain in the marvel Cinematic world (MCU).  Some have worked out well (Red Skull, Thanos) while others have been doubtful (Whiplash, Yellow Jacket).  Every comic book fan has a desire listing when it pertains to choosing who our heroes must battle.  Marvel, on the other hand, is trying to make the foes bigger as well as badder as well as they continue to make the battles grander as well as a lot more memorable, which seems excellent for the consumer, however may put a few of the much better heroes on the sidelines because of their a lot more “human” limitations.  Let’s look into Taskmaster as one of these examples.

If you are a marvel fan, you are a lot of likely a fan of Taskmaster.  As a villain, he quite much hits all the marks.  He is a paid thug as well as assassin who utilizes his photographic reflexes to simulate any type of battling style to get the task done.  Taskmaster has been so successful as a criminal he is the person you go to when you want to be trained as a mercenary.  He utilizes the exact same weapons of a number of familiar heroes as well as a grand battle with this villain would make one hell of a MCU fight scene.  however will we ever see him in a MCU movie?

Taskmaster made his very first appearance in The Avengers #196.  This comic has an fantastic George Perez cover of the character against the pool table eco-friendly background.  It is a gorgeous piece of art for any type of collector.  9.8 graded copies have a fair Market value (FMV) of $775 as well as according to the census there are lots of copies (177 at this grade).  However, this book does not come up for auction in the higher grades as commonly as you would think.  In fact, they are quite unusual on the open market.  When they do sporadically appear they do not stay on the market extremely long as well as normally offer at, or even above, FMV.  The Avengers #196 should be a solid long-lasting comic for any type of financier to hold whether Taskmaster shows up in the MCU or not.

An Avengers fight against Taskmaster would be a excellent cinematic fight scene, however because of its myopic scale it would not be something as unforgettable or pleasing to the eyes as Surtur destroying Asgard.  It would be a lot more akin to Civil war as well as we have been there, done that.  Therefore, we must not expect Taskmaster to show up against the Avengers.  A much better in shape may be as a foil for a single-character story.  Ant-Man seems like a great foe, however it appears that marvel has bigger plans for Scott Lang.  If I had to location Taskmaster, based on the info I currently have, it would be excellent to see him paired with Black Panther.  Their battle would be an acrobatic rumba that would bounce around the entire screen.  like Yoda fighting…but fueled by vibranium crack.  The issue becomes the truth that we may have already seen the very best of this schema in the very first Black Panther motion picture (Black Panther vs. Killmonger’s Panther) as well as it does not fix Marvel’s weak counter-villain track record.  I hope some take on as well as skilled director has a plan for the Taskmaster.

Which villain are you expecting out of Marvel’s next phase?  Is there an legendary battle you would pay ticket costs for?  decrease you comments as well as join in the speculation!
