Has anyone else seen the god-awful cosplay variant covers Marvel is doing for September? The concepts seems pretty gimmicky to begin with, but the pictures/cosplays for some of them are just so bad.

From /co/:


yaya han, "famous" cosplayers and the bitch star of heroes of cosplay -- another failure of a project she pitched for years -- pitched this cosplay cover idea to marvel. marvel approved with the caveat of accurate costumes. it was all shot in Atlanta largely using the same people yaya knows that go to AWA and DragonCon.

for once she did not use her more "famous" cosplay friends so she wouldn't be upstaged in the covers. for example riki lecotey has a famous Wasp costume and she wasn't used at all as the two have been bitter since heroes of cosplay failed. the girls are contractually locked from doing other TV projects because they signed multi-year deals with the heroes of cosplay production company.

LO-fucking-L.

These covers are mostly shit, though. They all look like iphone con snapshots. Marvel comics is a fairly shoestring operation, but it wouldn't have been hard or that expensive to get a real photographer and get much better, more dynamic images that actually look professional and like something you'd put on a published comic for general sale. The Ant Man cover is the only one that isn't giving me secondhand embarrassment.

[Anonymous No.8568949]

The worst of it is that there photos just look so lifeless as they're just glamor photos with static poses.

This is a comic cover, where's the emotion, where's the storytelling? I ca see these photos could have been pulled from anyone's FB page as opposed to an actual Marvel endorsed picture.

I think its disingenuous to say that people who do amazing cosplay work aren't part of the fandom. With the except of a select handful of professional cosplayers, the people at conventions are really dedicated fans.

That being said, my complaint with most of these is not the costume, but the photos themselves. The poses are uninspired, the angles on several are terrible, the lighting is weird, and more importantly, they don't inspire me to buy these comic books (and I really want to read some of these series.)

That was not me, and I am not a Marvel cosplayer, but I agree the results would have been better if they'd had a submission call and made it a bit of a contest. They couldn't for practical legal considerations, but the end result would have been better than what they did. You can think that without being a butthurt Marvel cosplayer. I mean, just look at how crappy those photos are compared to some of the cosplay pics floating around the internet.

Like what?

[Anonymous No.8569439]

>>8569407
Copyright and release issues. It's literally possible to run such a contest, but it's time consuming to deal with a whole bunch of individual cosplayers and photographers and impossible to totally CYA from a legal perspective. They don't have the ability to fact check claims of copyright ownership really until someone comes forward after the fact and says "I took that photo and I never said you could use it." And then they may be facing a lawsuit. From a legal perspective having one photographer taking the photos to order with a single contract and copyright negotiation (and model release forms from every cosplayer) is much safer and faster.

I know it is nit-picky as fuck but that pucker/pleat on the right side of the bodice at the top. What the hell was she doing when she was sewing it.

And then there is the chain on the skirt being twisted... Why didnt anyone fix that?

Also is it just me or did they shoop her hair behind her to look longer?

Come one Yaya you stress good craftsmanship but then get sloppy like this? I understand she is a busy women but when your shooting for something important like this shouldnt you wanna bring your A game?

[Anonymous No.8569549]

>>8569523
Hair is definitely shooped - badly
The entire cosplay was obviously rushed as hell, her crown and belt details are uneven and bumpy as well.

I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she made this in about 10 hours and was ensured they'd shoop the mistakes out.

Every damn one of these pictures could've been so much less of a trainwreck if they had had some good post-edit done.

Jay Justice doesn't actually work for Marvel & never did. She used to work for some other company that does live shows (circus, disney etc) & ended up on the Marvel Live tour when they got the rights to use Marvel characters. Judy does work there though & is the photographer for the whole cosplay cover thing, so you'd think they'd have gotten another cosplayer for Captain Marvel but I guess she wanted it

That's not nitpicky. My eyes went straight to that. It's a very obvious error that should have been fixed, especially for a "cover model" shot (at a minimum, photoshopped out). The seam on her sleeves at the elbow is also raw and showing in that picture, but that's less in-your-face.

They'll do well and be woth money, because they're limited. The retailers only get one issue with the cover for every X amount of copies of the regular ones they order. Combine that with the ones that get ruined by signatures fans ask to be signed, and the price will soar even more, one day.

That's in person. Of course when you have the photographer and model right there, in person, willing to sign a boilerplate contract it's pretty straightforward and eliminates the misrepresentation of ownership problem. Having people submit photos to a contest is a different thing with a very real set of legal concerns.

Yeah, don't bet on that, Anon.

I've worked in several comic shops over recent years, we had 'rare' variants all the time that sit on the shelves. People buy the rarer covers when they really like the art, unless they are full autism collectors (which there aren't nearly as many of as you'd expect). Unless these are 1:50, 1:100 or higher rarity they aren't ever going to be legitimately collectible down the line just for collector's sake (and even then it's iffy).

- I don't know why or how I was chosen. Judy emailed me out of the blue. I'm not internet famous or her friend so I don't know how it happened.
- I don't know! Some of her other shoots have looked good. Her shoot with me was not at all rushed, we did several locations and poses that seemed to me to be better than what was chosen. I can't tell you why marvel went with such boring pictures, I know in my shoot at least we did cooler things. However IIRC there were no additional lights or reflectors or anything so it wasn't trying to be really pro.

Nope, but your reading comprehension is shit. Marvel wouldn't be worried about being sued by cosplayers or the owners of the copyrighted characters. They'd be worried about being sued by a cosplay photographer if someone else claimed credit for it and left them out of the loop or they were credited wrngly.

Have the in-house photographer shoot it, they can keep the copyright of photos as work for hire, and they know who took the photos. Only one signature needed, and that's the cosplayer.

Contest submissions operate under a different set of laws, and depending on how its showcased, can even be exempt, since it may fall under Editorial rules for photography usage.

And, yeah, I used to follow SamuraiGreen on tumblr and from what I remember (at least 3+ years ago) they used to date and then she moved to Cali and when he went to surprise visit her he caught her in the act of being a dirty, cheating slut.

Uh, I'm an actual licensed US lawyer. The concerns for "submit your cosplay photo, we'll post it on our website, and you might win a prize" contests are different. If a photo is submitted to that kind of contest without permission, the worse they really have to worry about is a takedown notice, and few photographers are going to object to a cosplayer submitting a single photo they took to a promo contest. It's both advertising and good business sense to let your cosplayer client use a photo that way. These covers, on the other hand, are commercial use. They are literally for sale and being promoted as special cosplay photo issues. The same photographer who might be happy for Marvel to post one of her photos to their facebook page is not necessarily going to be happy to see Marvel *selling* their photo without permission. Aaaaand that's how you get sued.

If by "one of the best to work with" you mean "sycophantic bitch who makes no effort to help the community or stop fans from being threatened and harassed on Marvel's own website and social media, then throws a huge hissyfit after being called out on it" then sure.

I'm from the Southern Ontario scene and a few years ago Marvel was trying to promote their Costober thing through tumblr. A few of us complained about how we'd gotten shitty comments before when they'd shared our costumes.

Maybe 15 minutes later Judy posted a super-butthurt Facebook status going "Waaaaahhhh I WORK ~SO HARD~ for teh community but they throw it in my face!!!!1"

The North Remembers, Judy.

for real. Cap Santiago has so many good costumes. He does Black Bolt too. It would have been great if they'd used his other Nova. Idk what they were thinking. But even still I think the Nova cover is the best one. He actually did a cool pose as opposed to just standing there

that's because he was clever and didn't even make eyeholes. why would Daredevil need eye holes?? he's blind! Genius. He'd either have to constantly take the mask off at cons or have a handler/friend with him but I like it

[Anonymous No.8570891]

>>8570885
I guess you've never read the older Daredevil comics. He knows he's blind, but his enemies don't. You remove the eye holes and villains can eventually figure out you can't see or have some power/training allowing you to see. They're there to trick villains who may try to blind him. Look at fights with like Punisher and Zaran early on when they would try to blind him with smoke or flash bombs

[Anonymous No.8570901]

>>8570891
I have read them & I understand the logic behind eyeholes. I just think that visually it looks really cool for a cosplayer who isn't actually trying to trick villains but make a statement with the costume. Accurate or not it looks great & much better than the sunglasses lenses glued to the inside of a mask or whatever other people are doing these days

Bellechere has to add extra seams to make her non stretch fabric costumes fit right bc her waist is so much smaller than her bust. It gives her Captain Marvel costume a weird corset look when there isn't actually a corset in there.

[Anonymous No.8570976]

>>8570964
She's wearing a corset or serious shapewear in that Captain Marvel costume. It may be the more flattering choice for her with that outfit, but regardless, this is a shaped form.

I've hugged her while she was wearing this costume and if there's shapewhere or a corset in there it's made out of some undetectable shit and I need one. Maybe she just has a super narrow waist. You can see it when she's in her goblin queen outfit

Why do you think you'd be able to feel someone's girdle or buskless corset via a hug? It's not body armor. The flat, firm, smooth look and that sharply pinched in doll waist silhouette is not natural. She naturally has a big difference between her bust and waist measurement, but that's not what she (or anyone else) would look like in a plain spandex suit.

these photos are extremely poor quality and you can tell that there was almost no forethought put into any of them. literally all they needed to do was have him take a step to his right and then you wouldn't even see it, but because they put no effort into planning and seemed to be completely unaware of their surroundings, they did not do that.

[Anonymous No.8572682]

no, it looks like it is latex or resin held on by magnets so that the costume has no marks on the fabric, but the magnet slipped right before the photo. the same thing happened to me when I used magnets to keep a jewel on my costume, but I photoshopped it back into place. idk why they didn't do that here, it would have been super easy

[Anonymous No.8572867]

heres a thought maybe they chose mediocre cosplays to not ward off the curious people that are on the fence about it, and avoid giving off that elitist vibe we can sometimes get from the camera whores and "celeb" cosplayers.
or maybe they just to yaya han and she purposely recomended average cosplayers so they dont take the spotlight away from her; im a sad attemp to continue to live in a delusional world where shes still like the hottest thing ever and blah blah..
basically ive met her in real life and its pretty much a total disappointment in a LOL sorta cringy way.

[Anonymous No.8572909]

>>8572867
I know Yaya gets a lot of shit but I've met her in real life too an she was helpful and even excited when I talked craftsmanship with her at her booth, clearly with no intent to buy any of her merch.
I don't think she'd deliberately choose these costumers as a shitty success of a project that she orchestrated would obviously not progress her band in a professional market (ie with Marvel). Plus, as an eariler anon said, Judy was in charge of this shit show.

It just really annoys me. I don't like Yaya, I think she's way too vain with all that "queen of cosplay" shit, but she has enough craftmanship level to make stunning cosplays and yet she focuses on showing off her boobs. I get it, they're there, she can't just cut them off, but making your boobs the focus of every single cosplay you make seems like the kind of stuff someone with a crap level of craftmanship would do to compensate. She doesn't need to.
