Marvel Cosplay Appreciation

[Arfguy]

Hahaha. Sorry for not being explicit enough, my friend Arfguy.

More Phoenix/Dark Phoenix!

And more Amanda Lynne as either Phoenix or Dark Phoenix. She looks almost unreal she is so real!

Thank you so much.

Ah, gotcha.

Here's Amanda Lynne as Dark Phoenix and Caitlin Contagious as Emma Frost:

Here's one that's a little different. I honestly don't know who the cosplayer is, but this is a fantastic image, IMO.

Wow, these two pics are excellent! Thanks, Arfguy! You are the best!

"Emma" really looks like she is enthralling Jean/DP!

And "Sue" looks like Classic Sue (late 1960's - late 1980's). Very good pose. Also very pretty young lady.

That was very cool. Thank you for the video link, DeathGods. Man, I wish there were more movies with practical effects. I would love to see a big-budget Blackheart done as all prosthetics. That would be awesome.

CBR ran a list of cosplayers who brought the comic book characters to life. While I think it is a great list, I do wish they had some male cosplayers, too. There are some great male cosplayers who have done characters like Spider-Man to life.

Anyways, check out the link: http://www.cbr.com/cosplayers-vs-superheroes/

More than happy to find some really cool cosplay images. I love Elektra, so here's another really great Elektra cosplay:

Yondu cosplay below. Well done with a lot of attention to details, but before that, a little rant.

Rant time: While I truly appreciate and respect what the Marvel Cinematic Universe is doing with their movies and how they are bringing really lower tier characters to the forefront (there's no question how popular Iron Man, Groot, Rocket and Starlord are now in pop culture), I am more than a little saddened at the visual representation of some of the characters.

Looking at the image below, there's no question what inspired this costume. However, leave off the blue head with the mechanical red mohawk and who is this character? No one would know. Yes, they might look closely at the hand and say it's someone from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies based on the orb containing the power amulet, but one should not need to look that closely to recognize a comic book character.

I wish a little more attention and variety was paid to the live action MCU characters. Especially when going off into really out-there concepts like space and aliens. I realize what the ravagers are in the MCU and why they want to go with designs that seem grimy and practical, but the out there imagination of these characters are thoroughly dampened when reality and "practicality" seems to take a stronger hold on character designs than inspiration.

Some great cosplay here! That kid as Mysterio is just adorably awesome. And that girl playing Invisible Woman is amazing, love it!

[Arfguy]

Apologies, but what Marvel character is this?

[Tofali]

That is Karnilla the Norn Queen ( also she is in love with Balder)

[Phoenixx9]

Yes, Karnilla.

The first Karnilla I think I have seen. Very nice.
