It was completely unnecessary, remember the part where multiple groups materialize nukes from thin air?
From what I've seen most people are complaining that Taskmaster was done dirty (also that the movie is dumb and boring). Its a shame as I remember the character being a fun villain with a cool costume with a skull and a interesting ability. But its modern Marvel movie so the writers don't give two flying shits about what villain they drag and drop for the bad guy as they will kill them off at the end of the movie anyway. Also the costume isn't going to fly as the bat eaters don't like spooky scary skeletons so they will have a intern run down to a sporting good store and pick up a couple paint ball masks to spray paint as Kevin Feige uses the saved cash for more blow and child prostitutes.
Action figure companies have done that for YEARS by this point. In a way its kinda a brilliant way to prey on consumers as:

I'm guessing either the writers drew names from a hat and whatever it landed on is what the bad was going to be, or more cynically decided to Mandarin it, wait to see if the nerds online bitch, then come back in a few years saying OH NO GUYS THATS NOT THE REAL CHARACTER, but if you want to see them come watch "Captain America 6: this time he's asian" in theaters this summer!
On a side note I hear Black Widow saves the day by smashing her head into a desk and breaking her nose/giving herself a brain injury which

Encourages people to buy all 6 figures instead of the one or two that you actually want. It also:
Gets people to buy crappy figures like "The same iron man figures you already have but painted black/in translucent blue.
Gets people to buy the set because what the fuck am I going to do with one arm of a 6 part action figure I might as well get the rest.
Gets people to buy figures of characters no one cares about (seriously do even comic fans give a fuck about iron heart?)
Gets people to buy the full set because the character often gets very little Merchandise (if any at all).
Gets consoomers excited because "LOOK ITS BIGGER THEN THE REST OMG I NEED IT".
I know there used to be quite the community around these things, no idea what it looks like now in days. The whole thing surrounding action figures (specifically marvel legends) is interesting and honestly needs its own thread (or at least a in-depth post) but this is not really the place for it.
And like you said, a kid/hardcore collectors/comic fans would probably be pretty interested in this. Bob on the other hand likes it because its a marvel branded bear and If you dare call him out about his knowledge of what that character is then by god you will feel the full fury of the wikipedia article.

Even more terrifying: Bob puts his consciousness in a robot body, but doesn't die. Now there are two (or more) Bobs, Metal-Bob and Flesh-Bob.
Metal-Bob would see Flesh-Bob as Bobsolete and Flesh-Bob would be infinitely jealous at Metal-Bob for being functionally immortal, less (physically) ugly and diabetesless.
Why stop there? Just imagine an army of Robobs all dressed in their finest Mario costumes, wiping out all the middle American mayo-ghouls before replacing them with yet more Bobs. The complete destruction of everything outside of the coasts replacing it with nothing but endless movie theaters, barcades, and McDonalds as far as the eye can see.
I've seen this movie before. Galaxy Express 999, personified in the character of Count Mecha.
That's what I think they were going for, since I want to say they mentioned the stone being made by a Greek God. I assume they meant for the stone to have some kind of malicious intelligence but assumptions don't count. I remember while watching waiting for them to explain how rules of the stone but I don't think it ever happened. Oddly enough a scene where a character turned to the screen and just explained the stone probably would if made the movie a little better.
Possibly. Given his standard for obtaining political beliefs is to browse the checkmarks for their opinions, steal them, then turn those opinions up to 11, I'm not sure.
I kept waiting for her to say the stone was made by Eris but then she said it was made by the "god of lies," so apparently it was created by Lucifer.
That applies to most communists.
In the far-future city of Clarges, you can live forever – if you can make the grade.
Whoever wins, we lose
Bob tries to run, trips over his own beetus-numbed feet, falls, breaks his neck.
That threw me too, cause I was trying to remember which god made the stone and I immediately went for Eris but stopped cause I swore they said the God of lies made it but I don't remember there being a God of lies in Greek mythology.
If consciousness depends on quantum states of the molecules of the brain, and transferring the quantum state will necessarily destroy the original one, although there are a minority of theorists who think that true quantum duplication is possible,
It is futile to look for consistency in Bobby's thinking, but "problems are not individual's fault, hence change the system to my liking" (or, in the mortal words of Joshua Alcorn, "Fix Society. Please") is indeed a main refrain. He thinks, for example, that people shouldn't try to vote the GOP out; we should change the Constitution to make the Republican Party illegal. And while he parades empty words about patronizing cinemas to prevent them from shutting down, the real onus is on the government to pump money to "save the arts".
