You don't need to apologize for anything, we're happy to have you here. Nobody with any sense would expect you to spend more money or put in more time than you want on your own project. I usually go all out on my costumes, and I've still hit a point on this one where I just said **** it and bought that $80 ebay jacket. I might upgrade to a good long coat some day, but I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars and even more man hours making a flawless replica when I can call it good at $80. Everybody has a length they personally want to go to, so do whatever you want to do. This forum isn't supposed to be about being better than everybody else anyway, it's supposed to be about sharing build tips, techniques, and just posting pictures of stuff we're proud of. That guy asked to be banned and I think the mods should help him out.
Is it just me or is that a Zune in that picture?
I don't point out people who are in bad costumes in real life, why would you assume that? You guys are easily butt hurt over me saying sometime is dressing up instead of cosplaying.
My opinion is to my own, I'm not even trying to tell everyone on this board that "Hey! This guy is not properly cosplaying!". Maybe I should send the guy a PM and talk to him instead? Then what is this board for?
You are going way overboard about how cosplay costumes and movie magic works.
The dude at Disneyland does a good job portraying and "cosplaying" as Star-Lord as a job, that is commitment and I enjoy that.
Also, I just don't see how Steampunk, genderbender are cosplaying imo. And it's my opinion, I'm not trying to tell the world that it's not cosplaying or what not. You get happy with what you want to call it, I'm just pointing out my own facts and criticism. I you can't get over with a little criticism and improve, why are you even cosplaying?
Why not wear a Gearshift t-shirt, red jeans and brown boots and call yourself Star-Lord?
@Auel! Man up and show us what YOU got!

Not much there mate. Good to notpassjusgement when you have nothing but purchased items. Most SL here have made their own items.
I like said, I went for the hard to get items first. I didn't not mentioned that I made those, I am starting to get bits and pieces of the soft goods.
But honestly, the dude did not even try to get close enough costume parts and parading around with a infinity gauntlet. I felt that he was not trying to portray SL in a "show accurate manner or look" hence the comment. Didn't know everyone's getting butt hurt over it.
If he feels good thinking that he's SL, so be it. I would feel ashamed to be doing the same, and as again. My personal opinion.
I'm going to assume that English is a second language for you? Because the fact that you use really harsh language like "ashamed" and "disrespected" as well as the numerous grammatical errors makes me think that either you take this cosplay thing WAY too seriously and judge others that don't fit in to your lofty standards or that English is a second language. If it's the latter (language barrier), no worries. I can understand that. All cool with me. But if it's the former (people have to live up to your standards of cosplay otherwise they should feel ASHAMED) then that is outright unfair and like others have said "douchey". I've resisted calling you out much or getting nasty with you but your continued unprovoked attack against my rendition of Star-Lord is wearing thin on me. My previous posts have all been amicable and all ended with the thought for us to move on from this situation and to keep this thread on track for its original intended purpose. Please let it go man. Move on with your life. Don't make me second guess voicing my opinion that you shouldn't be banned.
Thanks and have a great day cosplaying.
I'll get banned for voicing my opinions?
Tell the mods to go ahead then, why did you even post your photos if you know you are sub par and just wanted attention to be SL?
I would do justice to a character by researching and trying to be the best as I can, you can't even hang the walkman properly.
Such petty people, I wonder why did you guys even sign up to a board for.
I'm out of here. Bye.
