If you’ve ever been to a comic con, big or small, then you know that a lot of people like to cosplay as some of their favorite characters. Some simply buy a costume from Spirit Halloween and spice it up a bit, and some would hand make their entire costume from scratch, spending months on it. The results are amazing.
Now you’re probably wondering why I titled this Harley Quinn VS. Deadpool? Well that would be because, in my experience, the two most common cosplays I have seen are Harley Quinn and Deadpool. So which is the better cosplay and which is the lazier?
Let’s start with Deadpool. To be honest I have seen some pretty awesome Deadpool cosplays that looked to have taken weeks to complete. The problem is that the rest I see are very lazy. Most of the Deadpool cosplays seen are costumes that anyone can go buy at Spirit. You know, the skin tight ones. But what makes them ‘different’ is that they will put a tutu on or an apron and chefs hat and boom, now it’s ballerina Deadpool and chef Deadpool. That’s what I find lazy. Is it fun? Yes. But, it does get old after you see the twentieth ballerina Deadpool.
Okay enough about Deadpool, let’s talk Harley. With Harley Quinn there is a lot more variety, in the comics, movies, video games, she has so many different outfits that can be created. Going to comic con I have seen people go as gender bend, Arkham Knight, and first appearance all hand made and amazing. But, like Deadpool I have also seen some Spirit Halloween costumes. The difference is the variety.
Although both are the most common cosplays that I have seen, personally I think that Harley Quinn is the better of the two because of her variety of options. Unlike Deadpool putting on a unicorn floaty and calling it a day, it’s still a different outfit. What do you think?
