Justifying going to one of those conventions to glare at a couple ok-looking chicks dressed up is just bad.

Did you see Scott Pilgrim? Apparently they are showing the entire movie. :hmm: Honestly the trailers look pretty terrible, but I love Edgar Wright, so I'll probably see it anyway.

Honestly, anyone who would be legitimately offended by such a statement should not be allowed to breed.

lol, "God hates sentries" held by a spy and "Satan's cake is a lie."

I went a couple days to comic con and my favorite costumes were the group of TF2 players. I wanted to shout out "we need a dispenser here" but I was too far away.

Seriously who the hell goes to Comic-Con??? It seems the lowest of the low goes there.

you can send some of those booth babes and the hot chicks that dress up in skimpy/tight clothes to my house then.

There's those types of chicks dressed exactly like that walking down the street all the time.

[zinfamous]

[alkemyst]

Translation: i want to go so bad, but cant afford the tickets or the hotel or the drive.. so i'll just make fun of anyone who goes so i dont seem desparate.

Yeah that guy is really anti-anything that costs more than a few bucks. I wonder if he is on welfare of some sort.

From what I understand...

People who attend conventions tend to be interested in the content there, commercially and/or personally. It's no different than attending a sporting event in regards to how attendees view it.

The appeal of comics is the same appeal of a well-written book. It presents an alternate universe to the the reader. Comics simply distill and refine that universe into one or more specific extremes using graphics as the primary medium with text to bind it together. Part of the appeal of the universe comes from the perception of exceeding normal bounds, which is why superheroes are common material, though other settings exist as well.

Those who dress up at conventions do so for the same reason people dress up on Halloween. It gives them a chance to be someone else for a day. It also provides a mentally plausible excuse to exert behavior or dress that they normally wouldn't associate with. In essence, it's a form of release from perceived bounds of regular society, to experience or experiment with being like someone you're not. It also explains why people usually only dress up as someone (or thing) they admire in some fashion.

Cosplay is derived from the words costume play. It's Engrish.
