What do you think about Taskmaster's helmet?


I think it's pretty cool, like Call of Duty + Crysis.

I honestly didn't like it at first because it doesn't look much like Taskmaster from the comics, but it's definitely growing on me.

Comic's helmet was too fantastical I guess, they would have to make it too big in order to fit a real head inside. They can CGI it, like Iron Man's, but I like this more realistic approach too. Feels like a throwback to the original movie X-Men costume.

My concern is more about the lack of cape. But I can somewhat understand that.

The MCU has a way of taking the classic comic look of characters and doing a pretty good job of rendering them in a realistic way. I like the Taskmaster helmet and faceplate. He looks menacing and not cartoonish.

Usually they do very closely to the comicbook counterpart. When everyone was doing dark and realistic, Marvel kept the red and gold Iron Man costume. They toned down Thor's but kept Loki's almost intact.

But this time it's rather different. It's quite far away from the comicbook version and more into original black leather Fox's X-Men suits style of the 2000s. Maybe it's a preparation for bringing X-Men into MCU.

It's probably the one thing I don't like from the trailers. The design is not very memorable. Just make it look like a skull ffs. There's video game iterations that are more intimidating.

It's basically Crysis' helmet. And that was not memorable?
