Robots are going to steal 75 million jobs by 2025 — but there’s no need to panic

The Marvel Costume Too Intense for the MCU Shines in Comic-Accurate Cosplay

Summary The iconicAvengersandBlack Widowvillain, Taskmaster, shines in an epic cosplay that pays tribute to Anthony “Tony” Masters' comic-accurate costume—one that is too bold for Marvel to ever feature in a live-action adaptation. This Taskmaster costume also raises the important question of whether Marvel’s tendency to scrap original character designs in favor of more modern ones is always the best decision, or rather a cowardly one.
