Mojo Jojo and the Powerpuff Girls welcome you to the Dragon Con Cosplay Parade!
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover:
In 2019 my wife Anne and I attended our very first Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the longest-running science fiction conventions in America. We once again made the eight-hour drive from Indianapolis and returned for our fourth nonconsecutive Labor Day weekend at that amazing colossal southern spectacle. We can’t conscientiously afford to do D*C every year, but we’ll see how long we can keep up an every-other year schedule before we’re too old or overwhelmed to handle it…
Our belated coverage of Atlanta’s annual Dragon Con Cosplay Parade ends here, unless anyone begs for outtakes! We amateur enthusiasts took way too many photos, but that’s one of our favorite parts of every D*C. We start this chapter with our recurring interactive MCC comic-con feature called “Cosplay Stumpers”. We middle-aged squares know many of the pop-culture universes out there, but not all of them. If you recognize any characters we didn’t, please share with us so the world at large can appreciate them too. Much appreciated!
Avatars of autumn or just cozy steampunks?
Tron dragon protogen?
Could it be…SATAN? (It’s probably not Satan.)
Someone in the Dragon Age costume group (which I haven’t played yet).
Radioactive bug in a post-apocalyptic world?
The child of an Ent and an orc? Or one of Groot’s ancestors?
Google tried telling me this is the Pokemon Honchkrow. I have doubt.
Snoop/Flav mash-up?
A prisoner shuffling behind the Handmaid’s Tale group…but is she a specific prisoner?
Ruffnut from How to Train Your Dragon, I presume…and another dragon keeper?
This warrior woman also hung out at the Cruxshadows’ booth inside.
This concludes the Cosplay Stumpers segment. Won’t you please help?
And now, FINALLY: last call for cosplay pics!
Queen Gorgo and some of the 300 Spartans.
More Spartans.
SHIELD PHALANX!
Several members confirmed on Facebook they do not wear fake chest plates.
Orym and others from the Critical Role costume group…
…including Mollymauk…
…and Keyleth.
Princess Ariel!
The final parade group paid tribute to Futurama: Professor Farnsworth and Scruffy…
…Dr. Zoidberg…
…and Robot Santa, who wishes you a merry DEATH.
That’s pretty much it for the parade…but we’re not totally done with the con as a whole. To be concluded!
