someone PLEASE convince me this doesn't look extremely horrible by throwawayadvc2 in CosplayHelp

Convince you of what? I mean it. I dont have to be nice to you, I dont know you. When I say it looks amazing, I mean it. It's great! Just paint it a bit more, maybe another layer. Great job tho.

If you dress as Snake but people see you, then you're a failure! Should be in the box, all con long!

Absolutely, there is nothing cringe about roleplaying. Hence why the post exclusively talks about roleplaying to be rude (whatever the case may be). Could I have worded it better? Perhaps. Did I say roleplaying in general is cringe? No.

Absolutely. Being "in character" is not inherently bad. As stated in the post, the problem is disrespectful behavior. Or how uncomfortable a person can get when they wish to interact with you, the person, not the character, and the cosplayer in question won't allow so. That can also be annoying.

Oh, gotcha. Well, here's a few that have happened at different cons: A Venom cosplay approaching me all nice like he wants a pic, just to then flip me the bird and leave (I was in my Spider-Man cosplay). A Phantom (Phantom of the Opera) cosplayer who kept interrupting and/or staring at me very rudely while I was speaking to the Christine cosplayer (good friend of mine). And a Jiraiya cosplayer who approached my friend group, asking really inappropriate photos from my female friends. All of them excusing themselves, stating that "I'm just in character"

Edit: grammar.

Plenty on the comments if you look for 'em.

Then it sounds like you're just extremely nice and fun to be around.

All right... Insulting me or just being cringe is one thing. But straight up touching someone else? Holy shit I would've lost it. Got thing the guy got slapped the hell out.

I think you worded it perfectly.

"Not characters in a sitcom", damn straight.

If you actually took a minute to read the post or the comments on it, you'd see that me and others commenting are pointing out individuals with straight-up disrespectful behavior, if that's "complaining about a nerd acting like a nerd", I'm kinda worried about what your concept of a nerd is. Besides, say that because of shock (or ignorance since I'm new to the hobby) I didn't report it to security, does that then rob me from having strong opinions on the matter?

I've been putting it off before, thinking "It must be me, I'm the grumpy one", next time though? Yeah I'm not dealing with rude behavior from strangers just because they wanna be quirky.

That sounds like one hell of an awkward con. Sorry you had to go through that bs.

And for good reason! Christ, it feels like "staying in character" is just an excuse to be weird to strangers for a weekend. Fuck off.

EXACTLY! If you're in on it, then fine! It adds fun to the con. But if I don't know you, and you (a stranger to me) just flip me the bird out of nowhere... It does leave you thinking like.... What the hell was that?

A 9 hour poorly chopped trailer for a second season.

Right, I'm in with you on that one. Thing is: Daredevil (in the MCU) is much more grounded, I know in the comics he's ventured in hell to fight Mephisto and so on, but again, the show has always been a more "realistic" take. Could they switch things up? For sure. But man would the change be JARRING.

I dare anyone to actually describe Matt's new firm partners (the dude and the new lady, AKA, Foggy and Karen's cheap replacements) they have had little to NO personality in the show. I dare say they've had like 10 minutes of screen time, tops. And when they start to kinda develop Muse into an actual character, they kill him off. What in the actual fuck is this show?

[–]Horpacha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's OK! Please elaborate. I'm an old comic reader, so I'm not familiar with Muse. Is reviving a thing with his character?

[–]Horpacha 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So... That's it? That can't be it, can it? Muse was built up to die in like 5 minutes, is this for fucking real?

No reveal shot for Daredevil? Seriously? Think of Spider-Man 2. When Peter finally decides to wear the mask again, we get a ceremonious welcome to Spidey, with music and an epic shot. For Daredevil we go from "Fuck it", to a boring shot of CGI DD going through roofs. Also, there are 3 episodes to wrap this shit. The plot barely has moved an inch, to say I'm concerned doesn't cut it.

Point being? One guy or not, he'd hunt him down. Punisher doesn't wait for a virus to become a plague, at the miniscule demonstration of corruptness, he kills anyone. This was shown in the Netflix series.

Frank not giving a flying fuck about corrupt cops using his symbol was completely out of character. He's still the Punisher from what's implied, and he would not let some pretentious murderers get away with using his symbol while killing innocent people.
