Having the hood up definitely will help make him look better, but he really should have a full-on skull.

Horrible design, it is an easy design too, just a skull face with a hood. i dont get hollywood sometimes.
Disney always "watering down" everything, disney probably doesnt like skulls or something...

There is precedence... Crossbones had a spandex mask in the comics but a full helmet mask in the MCU. It's how things translate. Skull masks don't always work. They usually come out campy. MOTU film, Willow, Mortal Kombat Annihilation, Phantom of the Opera, etc. Taskmaster is supposed to be a brilliant tactician/martial artist, not a power rangers enemy. I think it works in the MCU established world.

Remember, they AREN'T making the films for the fanboys. The REAL money comes from the casual filmgoer. They see a Skeletor-looking doofus in a cape and hood, and they are gonna say Marvel jumped the shark. Same reason M'Baku wasn't running around in a monkey costume, Scarlet Witch doesn't wear little red lingerie to battle, and Gamora in a fishnet body suit.
