Taskmaster Actor Claims Her Character Is Maybe Even Stronger Than The Male Comic Book Version.

Disney and Marvels had the biggest flop so far at the ticket box office Black Widow since Star Wars Han Solo. Now the actor claims her Character is stronger then the Male Comic Book Version of it.

Yet the actor ignores that Disney swapped and tokenized for political reasons.
There are many reviews coming out calling it boring. Disney it seems they dont care they care about spreading a political agenda.

Taskmaster Actor Claims Her Character Is “As Strong And Maybe Even Stronger” Than The Male Comic Book Version Of Taskmaster

Next, Kurylenko claims the gender swap is irrelevant, she explains, “Well, I understand that they swapped gender, but I think it’s irrelevant really whether the character is a female or male because who cares?”

Personally, I don't care if it's male or female, I'm sure it's boring either way. Superhero films have been repeating the same formula for many years now. It's the exact same crap over and over. Hopefully these franchises are finally starting to die off.

But you gotta to admit what they are doing with this tokenism and gender swapping, race swamping wont help them win over the audiences.

Oh I'm glad they're trying it. Hopefully it will push away even more or their devoted followers.

Wow, what a butthurt article.

What does running have to do with acting?

It’s a movie, it’s not real, get over it.

Did you even read it? they the swapped the role of the character in the movie for reasons..

It's just so cringy/obvious what the agenda is. That's the turn off.

Although I think person's 8-18 years old wouldn't understand the difference, only knowing what they've been indoctrinated to know and believe.
That's the shame of it all.

Loki Season 1 was pretty good because it was balanced. However, the "M-she-U" won't survive if they're going to shove identity politics into their films. It's unbearably annoying.

I go to the movies to get an escape, not to endure the therapy session from "A Clockwork Orange".

You do realize that Marvel has been "shoving identity politics" into their comics since day one, right?

An early Fantastic Four issue has them busting up a hate rally. The second issue of Black Panther has him beating up the KKK. The whole point of the X-Men was to be an allegory for the Civil Rights Movement.

Anyone who demands that "identity politics" be taken out of the movies has clearly never read any of the comics.

Actually, I think Disney cares very much about spreading political agendas. They consider themselves a "leader" in the areas of equality and inclusion and all that rot.

But I honestly don't know which is more cringey: Disney, the movie, the article linked, or this post. This kind of virtue signalling is no better or worse than theirs, although I suppose it's exactly this kind of virtue signalling that prompts their kind of virtue signalling.

Bottom line: It's a story. Fiction. "Taskmaster" isn't real. "Taskmaster" can be anyone the writers decide to make "Taskmaster."

Ya know, it could have been worse... This could have been all about "Taskmaster's" realization that he is really a woman and his transition into "her"... his authentic self...

Quite clearly I did read it, because I noted the stupid comparison between running and a made up comic book movie.

Sorry I'm not nerdy enough to recall the comics I read as a KID or the underlining contextual facets you mentioned.

We're adults now, right? What you're passively criticizing me for is hardly a concern for a 10-15 year old. Now that we're older, more experienced, wiser and more perceptive, we can see behind the curtain a bit more.

Still, your point is just another deflection to normalize an agenda. If you're fine with it, say so.

I'm not, and I already did.

I'm just pointing out the fact that Marvel has always been progressive. This isn't a new development.

I mean the very first issue of Captain America has Cap punching Hitler in the face on the cover. This issue was released in 1940. Over a year before the US actually entered the war. The cover was so controversial that Marvel (Timely Comics at the time) hired a security detail for the creators due the number of death threats they were receiving.

It should be noted that the artist for that first issue of Captain America was Jack Kirby. The same man that would go on to co-create pretty much every other big name Marvel character with Stan Lee in the 60s.

So if you're going to complain about Marvel being progressive, you're about 80 years too late. They've been progressive since before Marvel even technically existed.

People should just stick to watching Star Trek which never had identity politics and certainly didn't promote a socialistic viewpoint.

Sorry i dont agree. I do agree with being tired of super hero movies and such but what we clearly see happening in the last years is that gender politics take precedent over actual writing of stories and characters. Stories and characters are firstly placed around gender politics. Existing stories and characters are first being bend and twisted to make it fit. Only then do they start writing and twisting and turning both until it sort of fits. It is like totalling a car and then making it at least drivable for a few more miles.

Watching movies these days you can actually see them suspend the stories and characters in moments just to signal all that BS. This is when i roll my eyes which these days happens constantly. It kills immersion because you are unable to see anything else. Much like how the woke side of the political spectrum works. Thats how that indoctrination is effective on the young imo.

It hurts the quality of anything they touch with this.

Lets be honest through, they released Black Widow same week they also released the new Space Jam movie.

Whoever thought that would be a good idea should be looking for a new job come Monday. LoL

A toon punching Hitler in the face TODAY would be what progressive would like to portray but then pretending Hitler was not left wing. Not in 1940. In fact Hitler was a socialist himself remember? So if anything that cover was right wing.

What I find most sad and telling us that "news" sources and a good part of the general populace actually thinks this has any real significance.

For crying out loud, it's a made-up comic book character that's been hacked up by some libtard writer. You really can't get more irrelevant to the real world. My point is not to denigrate the OP. The fact that this discussion is in the public forum makes it relaxant for discussion here, but ...

Need to be careful with the Marvel movies mate.

When Tony Stark died at the end of the infinity War my weans were in tears for the better part of a day.

You would have thought the poor sod died for our sins and Thanos crucified him ffs.

So what exactly is this indoctrination?

I seriously don't get it -- from either side. I don't get how it promotes women's interests to re-write male characters for a woman... and I don't get why viewers are so against fictional characters as the opposite gender. Is there something about Taskmaster, for example, that is obviously male as opposed to female? Something a woman simply cannot do due to her biology/anatomy?

Personally, I just see laziness and a lack of creativity on the part of those re-writing characters. But that seems to be the norm in Hollywood these days, just re-writing old stuff. Is the rejection of a female Taskmaster just disgust with the laziness and lack of creativity?
