That's just an issue with costuming in general. I remember reading a thing written by some prop guy who worked on LotR and they talked about how when they were building all the Rohirim costumes they basically sent all the extras out to go roll around in fields and play football just to make them look lived in and worn. But he also ruined my dreams when he revealed that most of the non hero prop chainmail was made from rings of PVC pipe.

It'll disappoint you even more to know that before LOTR most prop chainmail was knitted.

Even before he's kidnapped in 1 he's such an alcoholic that he is drinking whiskey while making a sales demonstration in a combat zone.

That comes across more as "insouciant playboy". And Stark's not suffering when he's making the suit in the cave even though he's not drinking.

To me, the appeal of cosplay is seeing a character normally seen on a page or on a screen, realized in real life. Adding anything beyond stuff like a thrown fireball or something kind of diminishes that.

Here's how I look at it. Joe makes a Tron suit with full practical illumination: obviously cosplay, and awesome cosplay at that. Joe makes a Tron suit then adds the illumination in digital post: not as awesome, but still cosplay. Joe puts on a green leotard then turns it into a Tron suit in digital post: not cosplay, because the costume doesn't exist.

Likewise, body art isn't cosplay. It's just an artist's picture of the character, except painted onto someone's skin instead of a printed page.

Meanwhile, here's the couple I met at a John Carpenter gig last Halloween playing Snake Plissken and Maggie. Apologies for not having a full length shot, but the gig was still letting out and there wasn't enough room. They were authentic from head to foot, though.

Shockingly there is not a lot of cosplay of the dude who is shirtless, thin and muscular, and blonde.

Good cosplayers do lean into their body type, yes.

On the vague subject of cosplay: what general type do you enjoy most - superskilled "this looks pro" stuff, tryhard ingenuity, or "I was born braindead but I won't let it stop me" poo poo that is funny?

Sorry, I haven't read many cape comics in a long time, only followed the movies really, didn't know.

I only know of one, but you'll know of him too because it's Sam Wilson AKA Falcon. He took up the mantle after Steve's serum stopped working and he became old for a time. And it's going to be funny as gently caress when it happens in the movies after Avengers: End Game (not a spoiler - Chris Evans' contract is up and he's said he's retiring from the role).

There was also Isaiah Bradley, who was part of a secret (super racist) project during WWII to replicate the process that turned Steve into Captain America.

The racist part was because the government didn't really care about the test subjects actually surviving the process.

Of course, yes. He's the grandfather of the Cap analogue in the Young Avengers, isn't he?

That's adorable.

The obvious next move is to power the fans and have them cool her while she's wearing the costume.

No, the obvious next move is to lock her in your attic and use her to mine Bitcoins.

(Disclaimer: I have never mined cryptocurrency, it's a mug's game.)

For real. I mean, the favorite person in this very thread is the guy who glues pepperoni to his rear end to pull off cosplay. Low-cost cosplay is cool and good.
Let people have fun.

I wish people would stop posting that low-cost cosplay guy. He started out fine, but it's become increasingly obvious that it's become his fetish rather than his hobby. He's getting half naked all the time now, even in cosplays like that Trump one where he's fully dressed.
