Why couldnt they add some color other then black to the leather outfits they have now?always wondered that

[GNR]

I'm pretty sure this could have gone in the X-Costumes thread,but whatever.

[Lisea]

Looking at the pictures, I have to wonder why this conversation actually exists.

[Demon Within]

Oh boy. Why am I getting flashbacks to Macauley Culkins "Disco Bloodbath".

what's "disco bloodbath"?

k, just saw your edit. seen it. cool movie, but haunting. I'll never look at seth green and caulkin without remembering that movie.

The only model I don't like from those UX pics is baldie, probably because stewart was such a perfect xavier. the rest are cool.

Let me explain further, now that I have image-viewing turned off.

You have an above post with five images in it. According to my browser, two of those images are:
http://www.divideby0.com/photos/200...y1/PICT0131.JPG
and
http://www.divideby0.com/photos/200...y1/PICT0098.JPG

When I view them, they both show up as 5000x5000 (yes, five thousand) blank white pictures. For some reason, both of these images slow down my PC to a steady crawl that caused Firefox to crash several times.

Also, while they both save on my harddrive as normal jpgs, they seem to view in my Firefox window as .png files.

[timwang2k]

It slowed me a little, too. In your post and using the link all I see is a big blank space.



Since Holly seems to like Ultimate X....

yeah same here, holly can you please remove those files from your post?

[Holly Goodhead]

l deleted them..:confused:

[Joseph_Freefall]

You didn't have to do that, Tovie.

[Holly Goodhead]

What happened? l dont get it.

[Joseph_Freefall]

Well I made all those images into links so it wasn't taken so much space in the thread.

[Joseph_Freefall]

Um. Refresh, genius. Thanks. :rolleyes:

"bitter little boy" indeed.

[Roughneck]

Well I am Bitter. And A Boy, but (physically speaking only) I am not little.

I didn't mean physically.

Now then...on with the cosplay!

Weird how my posts magically disappeared, that fairy dust works wonders.


Loved the last Wolverine Pic!

Why is the blue in spandex always so darn bright?

Now then...on with the cosplay!

Really a mod came and left that fast? Threads even been moved? That was so weird.

I'm not too happy about the erasing.

I've see way tons of petty fighting in other threads that didn't magically dissappear.

Roughneck, someone really has it out for you???

[Roughneck]

Nah she's just, well for lack of being really descriptive and getting banned, she is just sad and stupid.

the last couple set of pics i found by searching "cosplay", is that just people wearing costumes or do they they really act out the character?

you don't get it. Cyclops and wolvie are going to be getting all kinds of groupies, possibly even some of the ones who came dressed up. Hell, they may not even be comic fans at all, but knowing

Actually, I think I figured out why they keep messing up with me, but not for you.

Those images only come out correctly when they're viewed at their proper website. When you direct-link images from divideby0, they come out incorrectly. It's sorta like how Tripod substitutes direct-linked images for a small picture with Tripod's name on it. Divideby0 substitutes direct-linked images with massive blank 5000x5000 png files, just to annoy people.

The only reason you still see it correctly on this forum is because the real image is saved in your cache. The picture of that kid as Beast Boy kept showing up as the 5000x5000 blank.png until I went to divideby0, found the page with those cosplay images, and clicked on the image at the source.

So folks, you cannot direct-link images from divideby0.

Interesting

[BT18]

You should retitle the thread "Just to be a disingenuous prick"

I know of no regular poster here who wants "spandex", despite the pathological lying anti-change people insinuating anyone who wants change or some color in the costumes wants these fan-made spandex costumes.

and last time I checked, the spandex-like costume from the Spider-man movie doesn't look like this

http://www.giftsensation.com/spiderman-costume.jpg

in fact the Spider-Man movie costume is by infinetly superior to the boring ass X-Men movie costumes, or any other superhero movie costume.

[Drakon]

I think I've fallen in love with Stephanie Rogers--Captain America.

Or is that Liberty Belle?

[Mr. Marko]

i've shown nothing but support for the costumes that have been posted in this thread. In fact, I repeatedly said that I liked the fan renditions of wolverine's "new x-men" costume better that the one in the movies.

Oh yeah, that cpt. americhick is badass. she looks ready to take on those 3 and the cap from that crappy movie a while back.

*Sigh* It's not the colors themselves that people oppose. It's the fact that 5 or 6 people running around on screen wearing different colored-costumes, even toned down ones would look silly. Imagine Cylops in a dark blue and yellow running around next to Storm in white and yellow and Wolverine in brown and sublte orange. They could definitely make them look good on their own, but all of them together would look...random. The uniform idea looks best on screen, for non-distractions's sake. It's a quantity-not-quality argument, from me atleast.

Sorry to the thread starter. I didn't mean to turn this into a spandex vs. leather debate, but it had to be said.

[Sauron]

Of course if you put a stupid fan costume next to something from a movie the movie will look better but, the leather costumes suck so much the spandex looks better. If you have a good spandex suit like in FF it'll be fine.

Is that Joss Whedon? :O

[The Riddler]

ban the threadmaker.

the first post is nasty.

[Drakon]

That was a hotlinking incident. Some places will put pics like that up in placement of the hotlinked pic. T'weren't his fault. Besides, why did you bump an almost year old thread?

But I still love Stephanie Rogers.
