More cosplayers deserving ridicule

Check this group out:

Let’s begin on the left shall we?

As saggy as the costume and the wearer are, my first question for Wonder Woman here is, “What’s the deal with the rouge?” Is her alter ego a prostitute in a third-rate brothel? Believe it or not, she’s one of the better looking Wonder Woman fanatics I’ve seen. It’s a sad, sad world we live in.

I’m not a big Simpsons fan, but considering Homer is a slob, I guess any effort on a costume is adequate. As a result, this guy gets a pass on the ridicule except for the fact that he still idolizes a show that should have been canceled 15 years ago.

Marvel super heroes are by their very nature second string, but this Thor takes the cake. It looks like he’s been sitting on the couch, and drinking a 6-pack an hour while watching NASCAR for fifteen years. Then, in a cliched twist of fate, he’s left as the only hope of mankind as the rest of the world’s superheroes have been incapacitated by an evil super villain bent on world domination and the abolition of racing. On second thought, this is the perfect depiction of Thor. He even made a nice attempt at boots (i.e., yellow tape wrapped around his shows and lower leg).

Now we have Batgirl; not to be confused with Whale Woman. Admittedly, I’m no Adonis, but I also don’t go trouncing around in a form-fitting Batman costume either. At least she picked a superhero that wears a bit of a mask so that she can hide a face that should be red in shame. Flip-flops? She couldn’t even bother to get a pair of yellow aqua socks. I guess she blew her budget on the yards and yards of vinyl she used for the outfit.

Supergirl at least has the decency to be in fairly good shape and somewhat attractive, but even she has lame footwear and a low-quality costume. Supergirl is a blond anyway. This lady should’ve at least worn a wig, or better yet, she should have dressed up like Batgirl. She could probably pull it off OK with a mask and a decent costume.

Finally, we have good old Spider-Man. It’s fitting he is in the crouching position, because his baggy costume looks like he is carrying a load in his pants. Again with the footwear. I’ll give him some bonus points for using shoes that have a web-like design, but he still deserves to be beaten severely with Thor’s hammer.

Now G.I. Joe is a costumer’s dream situation. Most of the costumes can be made fairly easily, and most of the characters are normal looking. At least this Baroness played with the cards she was dealt. The costume itself isn’t too bad, she has dark hair, slapped on some glasses, and isn’t fugly. The mere sight of her doesn’t cause a gag-reflex. I’d say she’s a few dozen steps ahead of most cosplayers.

Who knew Cobra Commander was a black midget? He wisely chose one of the easier variations of Cobra Commander to work with, and didn’t do a horrible job with it. The costume itself isn’t as nice as the Baroness, but he does have the added advantage of a hood to hide his identity.
