SyFy's Heroes of Cosplay

[Moviefreak]

And if Jessie mentions one more time that he needs a win because,
"He wants to quit his day job and do this as a career"...
I eill punch the TV :lol

Ok Jessie... Your "not so subtle" hint to Hollywood is out there already... Chill bro!

It's like believing that if you win a karaoke contest you have a chance to get a record deal. :lol

What if that Karaoke contest is on national television? William Hung, anyone?

True.... But just go out there on national TV and let your work speak for itself.
He comes across so desperate and "not so subtle", as it is obvious he took this show to be his launching platform.
Before the show filmed, I bet he already told his wife that he will say to the camera every chance he can that he wants to do this for a living. Plain and simple... Do excellent work on the show, you will probably get the recognition and attention you deserve and need. You don't need to keep staying it as if the world and Hollywood might have forgotten :lol

 

[tubachris85x]

There are literally hundreds of people on this forum alone I'd rather become career-successful prop/costume builders, LONG before the glimmer in my eye to even possibly consider concocting the thought of one of these people achieving that kind of recognition even existed...

Don't forget that the show is scripted. Those lines may be on EVERY page.

In all fairness, with all the behind-the-scenes info we now have about the show it's pretty obvious the producers edited each person into a 'character' and he's been edited into the character of the fan who wants to become a professional. If he mentions just once in an hour long interview about wanting to go pro they are editing it down to that one sentence each time he is shown.

I thought it was good to see him replicate an established costume with decent accuracy and skill. Chloe's costume was good also, as was Becky's. She really needed to have those roses shoot out of her sleeves though, her roommate should have tried a mechanical delivery system, perhaps spring loaded instead of air delivery.

I had people accuse my contest (MegaCon) of being rigged because two from the show won 2nd and 3rd place.

Well the stars actually seem surprised that they didn't win or even place in all the events as if simply being in a TV show gives them more reason to win. For the most part, the only costumes that have stood out to me so far is the Tron Dress and I think the Tank Girl one. Other than that.. they've really been mediocre. The Assassin's Creed one wasn't all that impressive honestly and I was surprised he won anything.

 

[spacebat]

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. How is armor only a prop? You still have to build it. I think that counts as craftsmanship.

I don't understand how any of them have won anything. The 'Heroes' never have anything that blow me away at all.

I'm not sure if this example is relevant or not but back in high-school I was involved in Lego building competitions. This one guy built a lego deathstar, but it was purchased as a kit. There was also a kid who made a 3 foot mega-man, however it was completely original meaning his own design. the kid had bought I think it was more than 10 lego boxes (keep in mind these were the old school block legos) and it had taken him an entire year to complete it. He won the competition despite the lego deathstar looking way cooler.

I personally, wouldn't expect to win anything other than peoples approval with a kit in a competition that is supposed to reward creativity and craftsmanship.

As for the "Heroes" part I wouldn't get too hung up on the name, it's just the name of the show. B

Jesse must've submitted an audition tape or something where he said he was hoping to be able to quit his dayjob and focus on making props and costumes, and the production crew went "hey, he wants to go pro, perfect. Let's make that his storyline" and so they did their best to make it seem as if that is his only goal in life. If we don't see him speaking the lines, I wouldn't be surprised if they're reusing the same clip of him saying that over and over again.

I think they did this with Chloe in the latest episode too, at one point she is saying that she maybe shouldn't compete in a voiceover clip, which sounded eerily similar to her last appearance, but I'm too lazy to check.

. She really needed to have those roses shoot out of her sleeves though, her roommate should have tried a mechanical delivery system, perhaps spring loaded instead of air delivery.

All he needed to do was rig a quick mini air cannon. A small CO2 bottle (like they use for paintball), a couple feet of rubber hose, two PVC barrels up her sleeves, and a electronic quick release valve. Charge the system before she goes on stage, and when she gets there, she hits the button, opens the valve and the roses come shooting out.

Instead, she ended up with a cardboard box with an enlarged prostate. He said he was going to treat it like she had hired him to do the job. If that's the kind of work he puts out, I don't think he'll ever have to worry about being hired.

I loved how When the judges asked how much of the costume he made, he had to go into the costumes entire backstory instead of saying "I made everything you see except the pants.

The best part though was he makes an assassins creed costume and neglects to include the single most important and iconic piece of kit in his costume. The game practically revolves around using your wrist blades to assassinate enemies. It could of been acceptable if they were just solid pieces and the blades can't come out but at least they're there.

 

[infymys]

Could have had a drinking game for how many times Jesse mentioned that he lost in the last two competitions. And I was surprised when he chose to do Edward Kenway. When he mentioned Assassin's Creed 4, I immediately thought Blackbeard.

 

[Moviefreak]

I was all excited to watch Sons of Anarchy premiere tonight but FX is showing the season 4 premiere three times in a ****ing row for some reason so I ended up watching this.

Becki's roommate is so deep undercover in the friendzone that he may never make it out.

Whaaaaaaat? He's not her boyfriend? Holy C R A P!
What roommate would do all that for a girl unless he expects to have a chance with her? :lol
And she knows it... That is how she probably strings him along to do all the stuff.
She probably asks him to pull an all nighter on the costume,she then leaves him in the livingroom, bangs some guy she is seeing in her bedroom, screaming so her roomie can hear, then the next morning she is all hugging her roommate and telling him he is the best. And he keeps telling himself, "I still have a chance". :lol

I think Lance just tossed a handful of petals into the air.

Speaking of whom, I've decided who the biggest drama queen on the show is.

 

[Scareb]

The sheer excitement on his face when he asked if she popped out and she said almost is pretty much the biggest tell that he's friend zoned.

LOL! Yeah, it's kind of sad in a way. Almost like a slow motion car accident watching him do all this for her, get abused by her for it, and then get nothing at all for his effort.

 

[Sourdoh]

Boy! I'm sure glad I'm not watching this crapfest anymore!

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

We don't know that he's not getting anything. He might be her roommate, or her 'roommate', if you know what I'm saying.

I'd like to think they are just good friends and he enjoys helping her with her projects.

He had a paintball CO2 bottle in one of the shots. I'm guessing that it wasn't allowed on the plane so he decided to go another route. He could still mail it ahead though. Who knows. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that my experience watching Mythbusters build air cannons could help me there. :lol The worst part, IMO, was Becky's weird staring when she came out. It looked like an acting student when the teacher says "Now imagine if you just came into a room with a lot of weird things on the ceiling. You're confused. You don't know where you are. Now act!"
