A few appear quite close to me, I usually just don't feel like going at all really.

To me....

35% of cosplays out there are "ugly as fuck", 60% of the remaining are "pretty bad", 4% of the remaining are "alright", 0.95% of the remaining are "pretty good".  Only the rest can be considered "excellent".  And a good face isn't all that it takes to be "excellent", sorry.  You need a (really) good face, AND it has to (very) resemble the character you're trying to cosplay, AND you need a good costume.  So overall a very good portrayal of the original anime character.

Anything that's not "good" or "great" probably looks "weird".  Do the maths yourself.

I think it's mostly for the "fandom" rather than to look good.  People have to be realistic at some point...

Though I'll probably never attend such an event, me being me.

the maths of cosplay?

= 42.

Good idea to read in context.

i just appreciate it for what it is

I wish that was always possible...


EDIT: Hurr... I got my numbers swapped around.  35% 60% instead of 60% 35%.

I actually got a whole collection of bad cosplay pictures around.  Some of them are much worse.
