The End of a Cosplay Era
They say that all good things must come to an end. After 10 years of cosplay awesomeness and two cosplay contest victories, I recently attended my final con ever as a cosplayer. This was BentonvilleCon in Bentonville, Arkansas. It was a one-day fun-filled event with cosplays, pop culture vendors, special guests, a video game tournament, a gaming room, and a cosplay contest. My final cosplay was Baseball Hall of Famer, Reggie Jackson along with a 3-D printed World Series trophy created by my long-time cosplay craftsman. I entered the Four Points Hotel, where the convention was held, with both happiness and sadness, being it would be the final time I stepped foot inside of a venue as a cosplayer. During my time there, I was interviewed by a local news station about what being a cosplayer meant to me and attending my last convention. To end this eventful day, I participated in my final cosplay contest. While I didn't win any awards, I won the hearts of the attendees and everyone else at the event. After that, I left the event and headed home, closing the chapter to a 10-year cosplay journey that has been filled with wonderful memories I'll remember forever.

Substance now feels lacking for many viewers - overlong, thematically shallow, and reliant on shock rather than depth. This article explores the factors that have turned initial praise into growing criticism.
