I wanna see Daniel Radcliffe go to Comic Con or something dressed up in a really lovely Harry Potter costume. Just some graduation gown and yellow tie with red marker stripes tied like poo poo and the wrong kind of glasses and a badly drawn lightning bolt on his head and a twig for a wand, and I want to see if anyone recognizes him. Like, I want this to be a thing. Actors cosplaying as low-budget versions of their characters.

Yeah I recall Hugh Jackman going as a set-ready Wolverine one year, but I'd like to lovely versions of their most famous characters way way more. Andrew Garfield had the right idea but he did it before ASM1 came out.

Didn't that also end up with a "Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest" moment, where Jackman didn't even win the cosplay competition?

I didn't hear that bit at all when it happened. That sounds like an addendum for kids who didn't know about the Charlie Chaplin story. Besides aren't cosplay competitions judged more on things like who went to the most ludicrous lengths a civilian can go to in order to make costumes and usually go to that one guy or girl who made like a transforming set of working power armor or hand-sewn 19th Century dress with 8 foot train and details you can only truly appreciate with a microscope?

Saw an interview with Jackman saying he had the SFX dept make a movie accurate Wolverene costume for his kid and took him trick or treating - no one recognised Jackman.

It's becoming more and more popular for celebs to go incognito at Comic-Con because they get to be a face in the crowd and get the full experience. Bryan Cranston wore a latex Walter White mask and walked around for a bit before his panel and then revealed it at the panel.

What's more fun are the Halloween costume competitions where the person who spent 18 months and $5000 making a screen-accurate Iron Man costume with working visor and lights comes second to a 6 year old kid in an off-the-rack storebought costume and they bitch about it for YEARS

There was something like that at a harry potter book promotion. Some woman posted a giant rant (first time I ever heard someone complain about breeders) about how unfair it was the prize went to a kid who wouldn't even appreciate it.

She totally lost her poo poo and it was unreal. A grown woman was screaming impotently on the Internet about losing a costume contest for a ~super special~ copy of a children's book, insulting the kid, his parents, and his costume. I remember thinking "there's no way this is real" when I first read about it.

I now desperately want to know if we know the same people or if there are just a lot of cosplay people who suck out there. I know a few people who get pretty salty about losing contests on the regular and they are also all middle-aged men. Plenty of guys who do cosplay in that demographic are totally awesome but for whatever reason, from what I've seen, the people who complain the loudest and most childishly about losing are 50ish year old men.

In my, admittedly limited, experience, there is a subset of cosplayers that I would label as a "Diva". If you don't acknowledge how talented, beautiful, whatever they are, a hissy fit ensues. Thankfully, I've only ever encountered two. VVVV Jesus.... VendaGoat has a new favorite as of 16:51 on May 9, 2015 |

In fact, here's one of my favorite cospeople, I met him and his daughters at a contest recently and he and his whole family are just fantastic. It's terrible for a cosplayer but I have really terrible stage fright and they have talked me down from flipping my poo poo more than once. He goes by The Cosplay Dad.  And this one is him and me backstage at c2e2, his daughter was in the front row and made me feel like 100x better on stage.

They might be totally chill outside posing with that same kid before the contest, but the second you tell people that that kid is better then you in a professional setting, even as a joke, people can lose it.

The X-Men movie costumes are so basic that all anyone's going to assume if Jackman is walking around in his is that a guy who looks a lot like Hugh Jackman decided to put a bit of piping on a motorcycle outfit to take advantage of it.

There was always drama with the winners.
