Yeah... I have seem full grown adults go to costume parties all the time. Why should this be any different? Then.. there's also this thing called movie making. What do those actors nad actresses do? They make up and pretend to be someone else (of course, they get paid heaps more money than a cosplayer).

And 7th Turtle, wicked Shredder outfit!

My friend in Detroit has a foam rubber Mikey she made with help from her father. She also made the Bebop too. Apparently, they also make creepy foam stage props for haunted houses in the area too. This suit of here is really old now... prolly ten years old. Here's some pics I took at an 2000 con, with some other con goers who were dressed up for Star Wars and X-men. Simply, I think cosplayers are part of what adds to a con's atmosphere.

Obsessed with Godzilla? I do not think so. If you were to ever meet me in person I'm not wearing a Goji suit proclaiming in the loudest voice possible demanding people worship the rubber suited character known as Godzilla. I'm just a normal person who wears moderately normal clothes who might dress up for Halloween in a Goji costume of I had the motivation to make one. But I am in no way a psychotically obessed fan of Goji. Yes. I like the movies (Well for the most part. There are some really crappy movies that make my ears bleed and my eyes burn.) But I would never dream of wearing a Goji suit in public unles it was Halloween. I just think it's weird that people dress up as furry creatures, Pokemon, Klingons, Borg what have you in public at conferences without really being paid to do it. If I was paid to do it, I'd run around in a Godzilla costume at a Goji Convention but other than that I like to just act like myself and not someone or something else.

That Shredder costume actually looks pretty cool.

Heh.. the fact you call it "Goji" proves your obsessed with it. Casual fans don't call it that. And who said these people are pretending to be the characters? They are just dressed like them, for the fun of making the costume and the chance at winning prizes.
I love how you are asuming these things with out actually knowing anything more about it. Now excuse me, I have a costume to go work on.

**Nturtle** · 06-28-2003, 06:58 PM

hmmm... watch the pretentiousness please

**GK Punk** · 06-29-2003, 12:50 AM

Ya know I dont think its fair that I get constantly insulted, attacked etc on these forums, and I am not even allowed to stand up for my friends.

But NTurtle, youse be da mod, so ya do what'cha gotta do. I understand.

*Kid Icarus* · 06-29-2003, 01:38 AM

If I could, I'd love to make a Donnie costume and parade around at Gen Con. Not because I'm obsessive, but because I like getting odd looks

. It'd also be fun to be able to carry a bo with me (pry balsa wood, or styrofoam though.)

Oh, and Ghidorah, thats fine if you don't like what other people do... if everyone was the same, this world would be pretty damn boring. You don't like it, ignore it. I think it'd be kinda fun dressing up as Godzilla or some other Japanese monster and smash things

.

*Raven* · 06-29-2003, 08:07 AM

im cool with the cosplay a lot of people I know are into it

Well....Idiotic American distributors renamed Gojira to Godzilla. What's so obesessed about calling him by his real name? I mean Gojira came first. You want obsessed behavior? Let's chat about how much money alone I've spent on Arachnids then you can talk to me about obsessed.

*Kid Icarus* · 06-29-2003, 05:30 PM

Ghidorah, I'm pretty sure the reason the renamed him Godzilla is because when you say Gojira with out the Japanese accent it does sound like Godzilla. Also, 'ji' makes a 'z' kinda sound and 'r' in japanese is pronounced like 'l'.

Then again, I'm not too good with my Japanese

That just shows you how idiotically racist American distributors were. They could care less about the proper spelling let alone how it was pronounced.

They did it to make money. Sad as it is, that really the only reason ANYTHING makes its way over here. It's called localization, and if you don't like it, just get the fansubed movies.

I had a few comments to the racist thing as well, but Cherubae pretty much covered what I was gonna say.

Hey, I resemble that remark!!!

And from the Queen, no less. Alas, I will never falter.

"Gojira" was changed to Godzilla because that's what the word is supposed to be. But "Godzilla" does not exist in the Japanese language. Going the opposite way, "Star Wars" is "Sutaa Waasu" in Japanese. There's no hidden corporate meaning to the change. It's just how the language works.
