Captain America: Civil War
Greetings, geeks and geekettes!
Things have been busy this side, but in between everything, we made time to go see the very first possible show of Captain America: Civil War. What fun to know that we got to see it a full week and a half before the USA!
Since we enjoy going to some lengths to support the things we are passionate about, we decided to dress up a little bit for the movie. We were a bit pressed for time, money and ingenuity, so this does not exactly count as a cosplay or even a dress-up; we just used what we had to support Cap and Iron Man (okay, we bought the masks, but they're awesome!).
We got a few stares in the mall, and two teenage girls asked to take a photo with us. Overall, though, dressed up like that, you don't really care what mere mortals think of you anymore. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The masks only came off once the cinema literally went dark for the movie to start.
Before we post a few pictures, just a comment or two on the movie: GO WATCH IT NOW!!!! This is the best superhero movie ever made. Even in retrospect, neither one of us can find a single flaw with it. Yes, we are total Marvel fanboys, but still: go watch the movie. Do it. Do it on the big screen. We are planning to go watch it again - it's just that good.
Okay, enough shameless Marvel propaganda. Here are a few pics:

Throwback to our first hasty Avengers 'cosplay'
When Avengers: Age of Ultron started showing in cinemas, we were only focused on getting to the first possible screening. But a few days before we went to see it, we decided that we had to dress for the occasion.
Slightly broke and out of time, we devised the easiest 'costumes' we could come up with - Marius went as Nick Fury, and Annalene as Thor. Of course, we would have loved to do Iron Man and Hulk, but those outfits are quite tricky, and take more planning.
Marius had recently shaved his hair, so all he needed was an eyepatch and a pistol. For Annalene's Thor outfit, we (okay, mostly Marius) built Mjolnir out of cardboard, plastic pipe and tinfoil, and turned an old sarong into a royal cape.
We got some stares and compliments in the mall, and a few people even stopped for photos. None were deemed worthy to lift the mighty hammer of Odin. At the movies, the Ster Kinekor manager also asked for a photo, and we were happy to oblige. It's fun when others also get excited about something we are excited about!
We only got around to taking photos in the mall's parking lot, so unfortunately the quality is not that great. And when we get around to posting some of our later dress-ups, it will become clear that we've come a long way from turning sarongs into capes. But hey, you have to start somewhere.
Enjoy!
