World Philly Wizard World Con!!!

I'll be there, man!

 

yup. my home town, so naturally I'll be there

 

I have never seen a decent looking Spoider-Man costume. In fact, 99.999% of all superhero costumes I have seen look like crap. Anime fans have a much better sucess rate, they actually manage to look good most of the time.

 

yes, about a dozen

 

I used to think that too. I've only seen the costumes on the internet though. These guys did really awesome ones. http://www.gothampublicworks.com/

 

the one's JEsus linked to were pretty good

 

That means you have never seen me at the Philly Cons and I do the spider and a couple others, you sure you can say they all look like crap?

I have come to Philly Con and the other majors across country for about 5 years now, and I get some great reviews on what I wear.

 

those don't look too bad, btu noi, I haven't seen you.

The principle problem though is that most Superhero costumes inherently look silly when portrayed in real life. That's why most movies change things. I can certainly suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy a film like Superman or Spider-Man, but when it comes down to brass tacks, you still gotta say to yourself "this is some fruit in red and blue pajamas."

 

When dealing with costuming I always say to each their own. But to talk it is one thing, but to walk it is totally another thing.

 

I REALLY REALLY want to go in a Scarlet Spider costume. Problem is....I don't have one.

So I'll probably just wear my Punisher t-shirt and register my name for the convention as Frank Castle. lol
