Die Laughing!
Go to any comic-con (or any con for that matter) and you will see hundreds of Deadpools. The character was massively popular, even before the movie.

Interview: Lady Bird Star Saoirse Ronan
This interview originally aired on WKAI FM Macomb, IL. Actress Saoirse Ronan is among the frontrunners to win Best Actress at the Academy Awards for her performance in Lady Bird. Written and directed by Greta Gerwig, Lady Bird stars Ronan as an iconoclastic teenage girl who clashes with her straight-laced mother, played by Laurie Metcalf, while trying to figure out who she is and what she wants to do with her life. Ronan’s performance is remarkable in the way she transforms from a 24-year-old Irish woman into a 17-year-old from Sacramento with flawless detail.

Costumes vs Cosplay
Being a cosplayer is something of a lifestyle. You plan your events, your budget, timelines for creation, as well as how to execute the character. When a cosplayer decides to be a character from a major TV show or movie, they have to think about how they will portray them in a way no one else at their event will. Seeing someone in the same costume as you is somewhat heartbreaking. How did they do it? Is it better? Worse? It’s a cloud of mixed emotion.

You remember Andy's mom from Toy Story? Yeah. She was pretty much the villain of all the movies. I mean, in the first film, she made the you-can-only-bring-one-toy rule for Andy, which sent Woody into the jealous rage. In Toy Story 2, she tried to sell Wheezy in a yard sale, and Woody got kidnapped when trying to save him. And in Toy Story 3, she threw the toys out on the curb and brought toys to Sunnyside Daycare, where Lotso imprisoned all of them.
