I only ever watched the trailers for that, but it basically looked like it was half-based on the Black Widow program in the comics, so I could see both movies being kind of similar.

Both were based off the actual Russian espionage programs, or at least what the West believed about the Russian espionage programs...

I'd agree that the West believed a lot of unlikely things about Russian espionage, but I'm not sure anyone during the Cold War was convinced that the USSR was secretly ballet-training little girls into brainwashed super-murder assassins. We mostly just believed they were giving little girls steroids so they could win at gymnastics in the Olympics.

Though granted, considering the US was actually running programs to use LSD to brainwash people and to use telepaths to spy on people and murder them with their minds, it was definitely a bit of a ridiculous time.

Honestly they seemed very "villain of the week". If they return it will probably be a new character in the suit.

That was basically my take. "Oh, Taskmaster's cool. I liked him back in the 80s, he's a neat premise, where he's a villain but he isn't really a villain. He's just a dude that works for pay, and all he really wants is to fight people to learn their moves, and then he makes money off training other people (both good and bad - he's worked for SHIELD and the US government before) to fight. And he's a snarky bastard, sort of like what you'd get if Captain America acted like Spider-Man."

"Oh, wait, he's just a faceless, voiceless mook now? With a lame backstory and anything interesting about the character stripped away? Bleh."

I didn't think he was super interesting or memorable in the game, but the game had a lot going for it so he was kind of overshadowed by a lot of stuff. The PS4 Spider-Man game is fucking incredible.

I have no previous attachment to Taskmaster so just anecdotally I don't really get his appeal, but whatever it is Black Widow didn't succeed in bringing it to film. His powers are obviously very hard to translate to a moving visual medium and I don't think they quite did enough with it, it almost just felt like easter eggs.

Taskmaster isn't my biggest problem with the Black Widow movie though, they're just another example of a character who exists primarily for advertising hype, which is fine. It's the reality of how these blockbusters get made. The actual story for Black Widow was probably written up by completely separate people from those who made the decision to include Taskmaster in the film, and any communication might have only happened in late stages.

I mean, why use an iteration that fans have reacted to positively across multiple media and just adapt that to the big screen when you can just have a villain using the name? >_>

Which afaik is more or less how he was played in that terrible Ultimate Spiderman cartoon. Of course, I wasn't going to suffer through watching that show just for him.

It's still so annoying that Spectacular Spiderman -- quite possibly the best cartoon version of the character -- was replaced by that.

Blame Disney. Their acquisition of Marvel borked the animation licensing rights and they pulled the plug on Sony's show, effectively casting it into limbo where neither side could continue it even if they wanted to. It was the first time Disney pulled a "Why should we split the profits on something awesome if we can screw you over and keep all the money for ourselves" on Sony over Spider-Man, but it wouldn't be the last time.

Either that, or blame Greg Weisman. He apparently suffers under some form of ancient curse, whereby any cartoon he works on will be critically acclaimed and popularly loved, but also utterly doomed.
