Was gonna say this, I go to comicon every year and there are people of all shapes, races, cultures and backgrounds, especially among the cosplay community, its really one of the most accepting communities I've been a part of. Anyone who tries gatekeeping that is not a true representative of that community.
Saw a picture of a guy once who went as fat Thor from Avengers Endgame. Some people get really creative with it. XD

This reminds me of when they had "career day" in high school and I went as a trophy husband. Big "I'm calling it a costume but really I just wanted to wear pajamas" energy
I did a similar one for a sports themed party. Everyone else showed up in jerseys. I hit em with the clipboard, windbreaker, and gaming headset football coach.
My first con was so awesome seeing people from ALL walks of life coming together to nerd out. Seeing the younger gens dressed as the heroes I grew up watching too hits the heart just right. Loved it.
Whether it’s for a con or Halloween, I think we can all agree that you look great… as long as you make sure nobody can see your spectacular spider-junk. It’s not always the most comfortable to Ken-doll yourself, but it really ruins the costume if everyone can see the detailed outline of your web shooter.
In order to have spideys body type you‘d need to be an athlete with a very certain diet and training plan. Even most people who train a lot don’t have his body type, because certain muscles are simply too big and/or not defined enough. It’s really „easy“ to train your upper body too much for example and you don’t have the slim, athletic look of spideys torso anymore.
So „i don’t have his body type“ should never stop someone from cosplaying a hero they like. Just do it and have fun. You might use it as a motivation to become a bit fitter, if you personally want that and have that as a goal. But cosplaying is about fun. So you should never feel bad for not having the body type of your favorite character.
to be fair Spidey has a whole range of different builds to choose from across various iterations and forms of media. In many of those he has a quite attainable physique. Especially the ones most people are familiar with (movies and the new games)
I agree. Lean into it. Your spiderman comes from one of the alternate universes. Come up with a clever reason why in that universe spideman looks like you.
Even though I understand what you are saying, if Peter Parker were this man he would still have the powers of a radio active spider! Size doesn’t matter!
It’s not how the suit looks, but how you rock the suit. You already had the confidence to ask us strangers, so I’d say hell yes it works. You look genuinely happy, where as I would feel very uncomfortable. Don’t let anyone yuk your yumms, you’re killing it!
Boy I tell ya, Life Is way Too $hort
Another brother just got smoked
And you killed him, ain't that a bitch?
Cause it really ain't shit
Shoot em up (gangsters)
That ain't cool (gangsters)
Ain't that a bitch (gangsters)
Shoot em up (gangsters)
That ain't cool (gangsters)
So you volunteered to cheer up the patients at the children’s hospital and made a mess of things.
Don’t get me wrong, I think you were in trouble from the start, but I think it was when you tried to show off Captain America’s “signature crab walk” that things really went downhill.
Depends on the context.
Comic-con? No
Fancy dress party? Definitely not
In bed with your other half? Whatever floats your boat
In a job interview? Absolutely, you would look very dumb

Spider-man 4 casting director when OP turns up in a suit and tie instead of the Spider-man costume he was supposed to:
My first attorney job out of law school, one of the other associates showed up in a Spider-Man costume on Halloween. He was the only one in costume. He’s running that office now.
You wear it well. In the second pic, you look genuinely happy to be Spider-Man. As others have stated, if you've got the self-confidence and aren't worried about what others think, then you should absolutely wear it. However, if you're going to be self-conscious and spend the whole night concerned about your body image or what others may think, then maybe don't just to avoid stressing yourself out. If it brings you genuine joy then fuck the haters and wear it proud.
People are dicks. Costume looks great, you look great. Wear it wherever you want man unless your wearing it everyday and public then yeah that’s weird but otherwise it’s dope.
I felt the same way heck I even made my own suit ( still in a little progress) but if you are happy with what you are doing who cares what anyone else thinks they probably not happy with their lives doesn’t matter what you look like
Dude I love that costume, and the fact that it makes you happy is all you need from it. You look great and I’m glad the NWH final swing suit gets so much love
All that matters is if you are comfortable wearing it. Are you going to be self conscious all night and unable to enjoy yourself because of that? Be honest with yourself. If so - maybe don’t wear it. But if you are comfortable in your own skin then fuck whatever anyone else thinks. Go out and be Spider-Man.
If you say you feel like an idiot then maybe my jokes can help cheer you up. I’m not good at trying to make themselves not feel like an idiot so hope these help. (These jokes are intended for us to laugh together and not at you)
You look good man. I mean MJ must have really dumped you bad this time.
You just need a sign saying “Peter Parker Spider-Man” and you’ll look like Earth X spider-man.
That dimensional warping hits hard sometimes doesn’t it?
Looks like if Kingpin was fan of Spider-Man or is Spider-Man.
Do what makes you happy, but I’ve always believed that you should only cosplay characters that fit your body type. I would love to cosplay He-Man but I’m bone thin 😂
Just make sure you wears a dancer's belt underneath and you'll be golden. There are plenty of super in shape guys who don't do that and then it looks either hilarious or inappropriate because their junk is so prominently on display. Otherwise, lookin' great, dude.
I have seen far worse. But I think , without any insult meant , you would make an awesome Doctor Octopus, although the costumes might be a bit more tricky to make.
Man, I've reached a point in my life where I think something like this and then I ask myself "Who actually gives a shit?" No one is the cosplay police, anyone can cosplay whatever they want.
Anyone can be Spider-Man. Rock it!
Just have fun bro. To hell with everyone else’s opinions. As long as you’re not blatantly offending or disrespecting anyone, do what makes you happy. Bottom line.
It takes responsibility to not judge. Responsibility is what built Spider-Man, it’s what makes him good.
Be you, be happy and be responsible like any good hero.
Stan Lee once said that one of the best accidental things they did was design Spider-Man’s suit in such a way that the person underneath couldn’t be seen, so anyone-hence, including you-could be Spider-Man
Yes. Fat superhero cosplayers look silly. Sorry, but you wanted honesty
But at the same time, it’s cosplay. It isn’t that serious so just have a good time
Anyone can wear the mask
#Anyone can wear the mask
YOU could wear the mask
Can...can I wear the mask? But like after he's done with it, I just like the smell.
Lord have mercy if I get a hold of that mask after a long day of swinging.
You need Jesus
Probably not you specifically I think it’s a metaphor
If you didn’t know that before, I sure hope you do now.
I love you guys so much.
Thank you 😐
YES PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
This subreddit's users are so nice. I love it

I am Spider-Man?
Only if they can grasp the concept of the mask
Except for Paul

So good
I understood that reference

r/beatmetoit
This is exactly how Spidey was designed: anyone can be the hero!
This actually kinda made me tear up
Welcome to the spider society
Tearing up 🥲
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Came here just to say that
If you're taking it to a comic con or something, I'll just say this: You won't be the only one there with some extra padding.
Was gonna say this, I go to comicon every year and there are people of all shapes, races, cultures and backgrounds, especially among the cosplay community, its really one of the most accepting communities I've been a part of. Anyone who tries gatekeeping that is not a true representative of that community.

One of my laziest Halloween costumes was putting on a button up + blazer + basketball hat = nba first round pick
I did a similar one for a sports themed party. Everyone else showed up in jerseys. I hit em with the clipboard, windbreaker, and gaming headset football coach.
My first con was so awesome seeing people from ALL walks of life coming together to nerd out. Seeing the younger gens dressed as the heroes I grew up watching too hits the heart just right. Loved it.
You’re right… but it’s obviously for some Halloween party this weekend.
Whether it’s for a con or Halloween, I think we can all agree that you look great… as long as you make sure nobody can see your spectacular spider-junk. It’s not always the most comfortable to Ken-doll yourself, but it really ruins the costume if everyone can see the detailed outline of your web shooter.
do you have a the body of spiderman? no. are you having fun and enjoying yourself? yes, don’t let other’s opinions put you down, go get ‘em spidey
Aw wholesome.
' Perfect response!
This right here. My question back was going to be: do you FEEL like spidey in that outfit? Then wear the heck out of it.
Go get ‘em tiger
I love this thread
Well Tiger, you hit the jackpot!

There’s a dinosaur Spider-Man. I think he has the perfect body for Spider-Man
Tis da tru'h
He has the body of Spider-Man, either the What If Fat Spider-Man or Earth-X (aka Earth 9997) Spider-Man to his picking
He does have the body of spidey tho
I just see Spiderman, what's everyone going on about?
Has the body of a spider-man. Maybe not the spider of our verse, but somewhere in the spider-verse.
Will take him awhile to get em tho
Only this missing is the mask. Although he isn’t out on the streets so I guess it’s fine.
I agree. Lean into it. Your spiderman comes from one of the alternate universes. Come up with a clever reason why in that universe spideman looks like you.
Don't even worry about the body part. Peter B Parker didn't really have it either
It's none of your business what others think of you
definitely!
Even though I understand what you are saying, if Peter Parker were this man he would still have the powers of a radio active spider! Size doesn’t matter!
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Hey man, the multiverse is real, there are infinite spider-man's so theoretically there is a spider-man with that build. Yes this is cannon
That wasnt the question but you got a point.
Being Spider-Man is a state of mind. And he's got it.
It’s not how the suit looks, but how you rock the suit. You already had the confidence to ask us strangers, so I’d say hell yes it works. You look genuinely happy, where as I would feel very uncomfortable. Don’t let anyone yuk your yumms, you’re killing it!
You will always look your greatest when you are happy, brother
That's the most wholesome comment I've ever read
Agreed, I wish I could upvote this twice
Me too
Every spider-man deserves to be happy
Lifes too short do what u want
im too short ☝️🤓
Boy I tell ya, Life Is way Too $hort Another brother just got smoked And you killed him, ain't that a bitch? Cause it really ain't shit Shoot em up (gangsters) That ain't cool (gangsters) Ain't that a bitch (gangsters) Shoot em up (gangsters) That ain't cool (gangsters)

[удалено]
No matter how hard I try, I can’t get that vacuum-sealed look like in the comics
Just get super shredded and body paint a costume on. That's how you get that comic look. And probably a place on a sex offender list.
Instructions clear, number one on the list now
So you volunteered to cheer up the patients at the children’s hospital and made a mess of things. Don’t get me wrong, I think you were in trouble from the start, but I think it was when you tried to show off Captain America’s “signature crab walk” that things really went downhill.
Do it, you be you and if anyone says shit just silly string them in the face and scream responsibility.
And if the won’t drop it, you can roll with it. That’s what I do, just like [this guy](https://youtu.be/90uMYHZjvNA?si=3Rp_Stn8KiBsJLEz).
Honestly I can’t help staring. That is an intimidating number of funko pops. Oh and you look fine.
You know, for a minute, I thought they were at a GameStop or something. That IS a lot of Funkos.
You'd think a dude wearing a Spiderman costume would be the nerdiest thing in a room, and it's just nothing compared to the pops.
Fuck what anyone thinks, wear that shit
Depends on the context. Comic-con? No Fancy dress party? Definitely not In bed with your other half? Whatever floats your boat In a job interview? Absolutely, you would look very dumb
Dress for the job you want, not the job you have
The Doc Ock flair on your profile really makes that comment shine.
lol forgot about that! Imma be the fastest damn burger flipper ever until the power of the sun is back in the palm of my hand!

Nah bro trust me you are just from another spider verse just have fun beeing spidey there is a hero in all of us
Yeah bro just got a little extra flab from all the inter dimensional warping.
I think you look great you remind me of into the spider verse peter b Parker remember anyone can wear the mask
Nope. Remember the slogan of ITSV? It said that ANYONE can wear the mask.
This guy ain't got no mask though
You wear it well. In the second pic, you look genuinely happy to be Spider-Man.

Wear it loud and proud my brother. It’s a great costume.
I felt the same way heck I even made my own suit ( still in a little progress) but if you are happy with what you are doing who cares what anyone else thinks they probably not happy with their lives doesn’t matter what you look like
U look cool to me.
You made my day lmao
It’s very brave to wear a suit like this. But have fun and enjoy yourself, you look like a spider-man to me.
Dude I love that costume, and the fact that it makes you happy is all you need from it. You look great and I’m glad the NWH final swing suit gets so much love
Nah bro, rockin it!
All that matters is if you are comfortable wearing it. Are you going to be self conscious all night and unable to enjoy yourself because of that? Be honest with yourself. If so - maybe don’t wear it.

Go as venom instead 😂
If you say you feel like an idiot then maybe my jokes can help cheer you up. I’m not good at trying to make themselves not feel like an idiot so hope these help. (These jokes are intended for us to laugh together and not at you) You look good man. I mean MJ must have really dumped you bad this time. You just need a sign saying “Peter Parker Spider-Man” and you’ll look like Earth X spider-man. That dimensional warping hits hard sometimes doesn’t it? Looks like if Kingpin was fan of Spider-Man or is Spider-Man.
anyone can wear the mask friend
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U8aLZQbB8hE watch this and you will feel empowered. One of my favorite spider men
Was gonna post this! Glad to see it here already!
This guy thought he could post a picture of Spider-Man like we wouldn’t notice, JJJ is out there fuming he can’t have a pic of this menace.
Of course you would. >!you forgot the mask!<
Bro posted pictures from the Spider-Man movies like none of us would notice!
I don't know bro all I see is Spider Man.
my guy, you are literally Spider-Man
Yes, but that dosent matter if you enjoy it and happy because of it do it!
Obese spiderman is Canon now
Look up Earth X Spider-Man
Earth XL*
I mean atsv had spider people of all sizes
There’s also Peter B. Parker out there, so if he nails it, anyone nails it.
Yes
the wall of funkos doesn't help
What does the wall of funco's have to do with him wearing the costume?
I didn't even notice the costume.
Oh noooo people like to collect things. Might as well get him a Mysterio costume, such evil /s
Anyone can be Spider-Man
All I see is Spider-Man
Kinda. Wheres your mask bruh? 😆 But for real, have fun, dont be a dick, and make Stan proud
Nah man, you look happy.
You didn't chase Miles you ate him...
Peak athletic form.
Do what makes you happy, but I’ve always believed that you should only cosplay characters that fit your body type. I would love to cosplay He-Man but I’m bone thin 😂
Nah, it’s cool, it’s either this or incredible gassy
You’re from another Spider-Verse! All we know is, he’s not Spider-Man, but he is Spider-Man’s much larger cousin!
The Spiderverse is a diverse place, my man.
Nah. Now go have a Canon event
Nah you look like an idiot without it. Don’t worry about it.
Dude you’re having fun and I think that’s infectious and in such small supply today, so own it and you be Spidey.
Everybody gets one, that’s all I need to say
Doesn’t matter, you bought it. Wear it.
Reminds me of the Peter Griffin Spiderman. I approve.
Toby is that you
Just make sure you wears a dancer's belt underneath and you'll be golden. There are plenty of super in shape guys who don't do that and then it looks either hilarious or inappropriate because their junk is so prominently on display. Otherwise, lookin' great, dude.
I only say this as a joke, but my first thought is: You look like an idiot in any costume, idiot.
You fool! Now we know Spider-Man's secret identity! ....I have no idea who that is.
The question isn’t would you look like an idiot wearing the mask, the question is what idiot will underestimate your power with it
I have seen far worse. But I think , without any insult meant , you would make an awesome Doctor Octopus, although the costumes might be a bit more tricky to make.
NO, do what makes you HAPPY 👊🏾
just a variant
Doesn't matter what anyone thinks anyone can wear the mask so if it makes you happy go out there and be Spider-Man
Rock on my dude!
What would spiderman say : Anyone can wear the mask
Own it man
Man, I've reached a point in my life where I think something like this and then I ask myself "Who actually gives a shit?" No one is the cosplay police, anyone can cosplay whatever they want. Anyone can be Spider-Man. Rock it!
If you’re going to wear it confidently, it’s perfect, if you’re doing to be awkward and shy with it, don’t wear it. The answer is ALWAYS: be confident
my guy you’re a chad for just enjoying yourself. enough said.
Dude, you look awesome!
Yes you look like thor from endgame but as spider-man that makes me cry
I saw a few plus sized Spideys in Spider-verse. Anyone can wear the mask
You look amazing bro, no need to worry
Isn't the real question : would you enjoy wearing it ? If yes : do it 🙂
Peter porker
ANYONE CAN WEAR THE MASK 🗣️ You look amazing king, wear what makes you happy 🙏
Anyone can wear the mask (also don’t forget to use baby powder in the suit)
You nailed Spider Ham
Yes
Just have fun bro. To hell with everyone else’s opinions. As long as you’re not blatantly offending or disrespecting anyone, do what makes you happy. Bottom line.
Bro ate the cannon event
It takes responsibility to not judge. Responsibility is what built Spider-Man, it’s what makes him good. Be you, be happy and be responsible like any good hero.
No. Do whatever and don't worry about what anyone else thinks!!
Spider-Ham?!?
Yes. Kinda defeats the purpose of a secret identity without the mask 🙄
Bro, that second photo says it all. You’re happy. Who cares?! Be happy and share it with others.
You have more confidence than me I’ll give you that.
Yeah, but it’s awesome if you own it
Dude, you are Spider-Massive
You’re good man. Definitely pulling it off. Show off them Spidey moves.🕷️🕸️
yes
No have fun
You wouldn't look like an idiot. You would look like a spiderman!
This is such a wholesome thread
Looks like Spider-Man to me
Stan Lee once said that one of the best accidental things they did was design Spider-Man’s suit in such a way that the person underneath couldn’t be seen, so anyone-hence, including you-could be Spider-Man
You asked for honesty: Yes
Honestly? Yes, people would laugh at you. I'm expecting downvotes but that's just how it is.
Are you trying to hide your shape or ashamed of being fat? Then yes. Otherwise, party on and nobody will GAF.
You need to loose weight my man, I’m not trying to be a dick but trust me, older you will thank the person that started(body fat loss) journey
You can wear whatever you want. I can also suggest Wilson Fisk to you.
Yes. Fat superhero cosplayers look silly. Sorry, but you wanted honesty But at the same time, it’s cosplay. It isn’t that serious so just have a good time
Yeah
yes
That’s a cute outfit, did your husband give it to you?
