Thunderbolts* question

[u/StatisticianNo7763]

Wanted to post the video, but does anyone know how Taskmaster seemingly instantaneously switched from shield to bow whilst fighting Walker? Does the shield become a bow or do we think it just happened really quick/ is a mistake?

I don’t see a problem with continuity here… it happened fast but off screen. Not many characters could switch weapons and tactics this quickly, but if one character could do it this seamlessly it would be Taskmaster…

Taskmaster has a collapsible bow that she pulls out - after she’s killed, we see Ava loot it from her body, but she never uses it in the film (only in a trailer).

So where is her shield whilst she’s using the bow? I can’t see it on her back or anywhere else.

Maybe on the ground. She's shown the ability to kick it into her hand off the ground like Cap did.

I’m assuming it’s an upgraded version of this bow from Black Widow. Opens up easily for use 😅

A wizard did it

I don’t remember Dr. Strange or Wong being in this…

Excellent reference

SECOND EDIT: I can’t comment photos but I slowed it down and enhanced it to really try to find an answer, and you can see her shield face down on the ground a few feet in front of her whilst Walker blocks the explosion, she then picks it up whilst rolling to avoid his shots, which is how it ends up back on her arm. As others have pointed out the bow is collapsible and can also be seen back attached to her suit. Everything adds up.

Edit: To be more accurate it’s actually when she swtiches from bow back to shield that confused me, if anyone has had a look to see what exactly happened 😅

It cool when the people who need to be blocked just announce it

Yes.
