Tampa Bay Comic Con 2022 | Review & Recap

- Опубліковано 1 сер 2022
- Tampa Bay Comic Con, or TBCC, is maybe one of the most scenic conventions in Florida. Held in the Tampa Convention Center right on the bay, the con's almost worth it just for the view: at least, when it's not 85 degrees INSIDE.
In this video, I share my experiences as Catwoman on Saturday of TBCC (boy, was that interesting) as well as my thoughts on the quality of the con itself.
For information on James 'O Barr and The Crow: • THE CROW Remake | The ...
Not only is the costume accurate but the eye shadow you used is accurate as well to Michelle pffeifer's iconic look. Very nice attention to detail.
Thank you so much!
IDK how anyone could hate on your Michelle Catwoman costume, it is one of my favourites, if not THE favourite. Glad you got the positive attention doing photos during the Con. Thanks for posting your thoughts!
The michele Pfeifer catwoman is my favorite catwoman you did a amazing job on her. Thank you snarkyj cosplay
That’s very kind of you!
You made a purrrect Michele Pfeifer Catwoman! And you were an amazing trooper taking on the heat in that pvc Catwoman suit and heels… Love your videos Snarky Jay! Keep up the good work!
Wow! michele Pfeifer catwoman costume - u looks fantastic!!!
Ps: thank you for suffering heat n patience;
Good to see u r happy to taking photo
i love your attitude in life even when you are uncomfortable you still smile
That Catwoman cosplay was amazing! Great job! Love your channel 🙂
Sorry about the heat and the unorganization but your Cosplay looked AMAZING and 1000% spot on and glad you still ended up having a great time!!!
Thank you so much!
I hear you about the air conditioning problem at TBCC this year. A friend of mine and I were in full tactical uniforms as SHIELD Agents (we get confused for cops sometimes for some reason - LOL) and yeah we both noticed the lack of cool air on Saturday.
You are quite the trooper for wearing your amazing Catwoman suit and I wish I had seen you in person. I spotted you in the distance at one point, but was unable to track you down to say hello.
I hope to catch you next time since I’m from Orlando.
Thanks so much! I can imagine you guys must’ve been dying in those.
Definitely catch you at the next one, I try to go to the Orlando ones as often as possible!
It’s wild to hear about the AC issue at the convention center. The organizers really should change some protocols in order to improve the experience for guests and attendees.
Totally agreed!
Oh, man I can't believe you survived that. That heat must have been killer. I would have died.
Had to hang in there. LOL
I would’ve died between that and having to pee all day 😅
Wow! That is so crazy. Hot outside and hot inside too? Geez! Couldn't imagine wearing Mando gear. At least you got to take pics. That's totally awesome. So many lines everywhere. Thanks for sharing your experience
Your MP Catwoman cosplay is amazing. Great job!
I've done event work in big places like that, and crazy as it may seem the air conditioning cost is sometimes extra. It's possible they were only running it during peak hours or in certain zones as a way to save money.
Really great Snarky Jay, channel is awesome, well done !! 😊
Thank you SO much for your video! I’ve never been to a con before, it was great to hear how this one stacked up. I’m planning on going this year. One thing that I’m worried about is the entry line - do you remember what time you arrived and how long it took you to get to the registration booth? I don’t know how you did it in your costume! Complete dedication
You're a trooper. I was dying at galaxycon Raleigh in khaki shorts and a t-shirt.
Literally insane. I thought I was gonna have to cut myself out of that suit.
@@snarkyjay I bet. I know the Florida heat and humidity is way worse than here in NC
Your cosplay looks amazing!! It's actually perfect. And for all the heat you don't look like you're sweating at all! How did you manage that?? You are a trooper for sure. Thanks for sharing!!
You went crazy with that MP Catwoman cosplay! It looked like you jumped straight off the screen for real! Everything was on point. You should consider coming to C2E2 in 2024 please🙏? I'd love to get pics with you. Maybe a team up? I have multiple batsuits.
Whaaaaa wheeeee the suit! You made my day :-D
You have nerves of steel because I can't stand lines. I'm so glad I don't have to fly anymore because those lines can be insanely ridiculous. I'm glad you had a good time and hopefully next time they have the a/c fixed.
Your costume looked great and I'm surprised you didn't get more request for whip-related photos.
Great video as always and looking forward to the next one. 👍✨🔥💥
Thanks so much for watching, John!
I was there! Yeah I definitely agree with the AC issues, but I really had a great time there cuz I had my friends with me. I will definitely say you made the right choice skipping the food. It was not good at all. Hopefully things will get better next year.
Glad I wasn’t mistaken on the food, LOL.
We’ll see how next year goes. Thanks for watching!
You must have been burning up in that thing! 😮
Nice outfit!
I saw you and another DC cosplayer, but I wasn't able to film you any because there were too many people talking to you guys lol great video. And honestly, I didn't stay in the Vendor Hall too long myself
Aw bummer, wish you’d come up and said hi!
@@snarkyjay I should be doing Spooky Empire. If you're there, I'll stop and say hi :D
I know this video was done a long time ago, but I have friends who told me to avoid this con because of the very things you found fault with, and quite honestly, these organizers can do a better job.
Your cosplay looked really good, I missed this con this year, and yea our Florida heat can be a killler, lol
Thank you so much!
I attend a convention called 'FanX' (Fan Experience) in Salt Lake City Utah. I go as "The Greatest American Hero", and the most fun I have, is wandering around, and having pictures taken. I have done photo-ops with celebrities, ($$$) and I do attend a lot of panels, but, roaming, and talking to people about my character, and often, their characters is the most fun I have at these 'comic con' type conventions. My costume is based on a red 'Morphsuit", and is super-comfortable, but, I have the opposite problem. When it's cold, it does nothing to keep me warm. When it's hot, it really helps make the heat more bearable.
That sounds like a great costume to wear!
Thank you for your detailed review. I was planning on going but in the end I went against it because of the heat.
Smart decision!
I haven't been to TBCC since before covid lol. Always felt unorganized when I would go. You should do Dragoncon in Atlanta sometime if you have never been.
It’s 💯 percent facts. It’s the cosplay that makes the event worth while. I was there Friday and I don’t remember it being that hot. You are too kind taking them photos… had you been there Friday you would have been my thumbnail. Great and honest review… are you going to Spooky Empire in Orlando this October?
Thank you Rich!
I’d love to go to Spooky Empire, but not sure I’ll make it. I’ve never been.
It's not going to get any cooler in Florida in the future! You're very welcome to Canada - tonite it's just perfect a nice 19 celcius (66f) And winters are not even cold anymore lol
I live in Tampa, but I've never been to TBCC. I went to the con in Orlando.
August in Tampa is not fun.
I'm planning on going this year. It looks like a few of the guests are only there on Friday only, which is kind of weird. I also expect the ac issue will still happen: it's FL, either they blast you or they keep it steamy. It'll be my first con and I'm really only going to see the guests from the Flash and LOTR. Funny enough, I'm actually taking my mom because one of the voice actor guests is from a soap opera she's watched for decades. I'll temper my expectations based on your recap here.
Huh, the car exhaust route shouldn't be a thing, but perhaps a gas mask might be useful.
I think I saw you on Saturday! I did not go up to you though. My friends and I got to the con early! (9am) And when the doors to the shopping floor opened, it was pretty cool. However as more people showed up, it got really hot.
I was cosplaying as a Team Rocket grunt and my friend was dressed as Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts. We were both dying as the day went on. 🥵
Sorry I didn't come take a picture with you! Your Catwoman cosplay was awesome!😊
Those sound like awesome but really warm cosplays!
Thanks so much, I hope y’all had a good time at the con besides the heat!
Omg im looking up videos like yours to get ptepared for this years comic con is july im going to be a minecraft charecter like the actual skin with the mask and im doing a mooshroom onesie like the minecraft portralys the 8 bit i love the pointers you made ty for this video
Gah, 2024's TBCC is a month AFTER my Tampa visit! Wouldve loved to hit a con on vacation.
EDIT: After watching this video, glad im not going. Lol.
LUV ur Cat Woman costume 💕
One of the best costumes in comic book movies so sassy, great film tim Burton's Batman's 👌
A favorite for sure.
Glad you had a great time
Thanks for watching, Andre!
At least you got to meet KINGPIN.❤👍
Amazing job😮
I've met with celebrities at comic-cons. My favorites being Adam West, Gil Gerard and Erin Grey, she was really nice and cute for an old lady, she told me she does yoga and meditation to stay healthy cause I noticed she was at her prime weight of about 120 lbs. Neal Adams sold me a Super-Man vs. Muhammad Ali comic book and signed it. R.I.P.
Yeah ur cat women rocked
Your costumes are amazing.
Hey, thank you so much!
Would you recommend TBCC or Florida Suoercon? It would be my first con and wanting to go one this year since I wasn’t able to go to Megacon
There was no air conditioning at TBCC?
That’s ridiculous. Maybe they forgot to install it or maybe they were being cheap
Supposedly there was very little due to the construction that was taking place… sounds like BS if you ask me.
First of all I like your Catwoman costume, as I still enjoy Tim Burton's Batman movies. Second of all I saw 2 Batman's in your video as I was wondering did you come across more Batman's or other Catwoman cosplayers?
The same Batman is featured twice, I came across a few others but didn’t get photos with them. I saw several other Catwoman cosplayers from a distance.
Amazing catwoman costume 👏 👌
Thank you, Tom!
Yes, we would believe how hard it is to get into that cosplay. Michelle Pfeiffer had to be sewn into hers, and it impaired her breathing enough she could only shoot for a few minutes at a time.
You certainly have the figure for the cat woman suit, but honestly I think you have so much more sensuality in your normal gear
So it looks like by far you were the best thing going🌺 soo say cheese🏵 and It’s my Birthday Saturday and I’m on vacation and going to the Beach 🏖 always great to see you, Have a wonderful rest of your day✝️ better than any catwomen I’ve seen🥛🍪take care ✨
Happy Early Birthday, my friend!!! I hope you enjoy it. ❤️
@@snarkyjay Thank you soo much💫
I go there from Tampa Florida 😊🤟🏻🕸️
you should make a video of you suitting on your catwoman costume and mask!
It's the old get-into-the-catsuit vid tease.
Snarky wow love your batman returns Catwoman cosplay no lie no AC in Tampa I'd totally go hulksmash love the episode
Thanks so much!
I love The Crow, amazing movie. Sorry to hear it wasn’t as amazing as you were expecting. But it was nice you posed for pics with all those fans, you made their con day more amazing 👍. And wow, amazing cat woman suit!
Thanks so much, Jason!
Your costume was amazing!
Your definitely a professional cosplayer
People r gonna want photos of that lol 😝
You make a Purrrrrrrrfect Catwoman! ~ Meow!
Yeah this TBCC this year was a little weird.. The workers were kinda awful, one girl at a booth started chasing my mother around that was recording the back of me because I was in cosplay. & tried telling her that she couldn’t take pictures or record in the convention.. which….. I’ve never heard before
Literally not true… I’m so sorry you had that unpleasant experience, Cher!
I would have turned around and gone home as soon as I saw the outside line.
Awsome 💥😺
Thanks for watching, Christopher!
"It was a FANtastic experience" Unintentional pun?
We’ll just pretend I’m that clever.
Your costume is AMAZING! I would like to be catwoman for Halloween, can you tell me where you got your costume? Thanks!
Hi Jill, this was all sourced from different places: the base suit is from Miccostumes, the corset and boots were from amazon, the cowl was made by Reevzfx, and my claws were from Etsy.
@@snarkyjay Thanks for the info. Love it! Any chance you would want to sell? I am looking for a killer costume for Halloween. 🙂
@@leatherbarbie Unfortunately I would not 😅 But I hope you find what you’re looking for!
@@snarkyjay I knew it was a long shot. 🙂 I am looking at the micocostumes web site now and am curious how you found their sizing to be. What is your height and weight and what size did you end up buying?
"A mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it... But the food at Tampa Bay CC can be even deadlier..." By the way did you go to Florida Con on Miami Beach?
I see what you did there…
Also, yes I did! I had a table there. :)
@@snarkyjay Really? Wonder how I missed you there. I'll keep an eye out at future events! May the Snark be with you.
I was there on Saturday as well. I had gotten my tickets in advance, so got to skip that horrible line. I agree with you about most of your complaints - the vendor floor heat, the crowds, the lines for even the crappiest looking foods. I remember that my friend and I saw you there.....and wanted a picture....but you were always in-demand. We even talked about how you....and several other costumed people were just dying of the heat. Towards the end of the day (I left early too, because I was hungry, hot and worn out), I hear the guy in the Rocket Racoon outfit remark under his suit how he didn't know how much longer he could take it underneath all that outfit. I do know that the crowds on the vendor floor really really thinned out around 4 pm....and it was much, much nicer. Great hearing about your experience!
Thanks for watching Jim!
I’m bummed we couldn’t meet- folks were interrupting me even when I was sitting trying to take a break. Lol.
Well, after an entire day sweating inside the costume under the Florida weather, I wonder if you managed to keep it. Anyway, any idea why so many guests cancelled at the last minute?
What a trooper to wear that type of cosplay costume. You must have had MAJOR swamp a*s by the time you got done walking around.
I avoided the vender hall like the plague.
I don’t blame you.
No AC in Tampa seems like it would violate some sort of statute.
Agreed.
Amazing cosplay !!!!!!
Thank you, Andres!
Would you ever do 66 Batgirl or Catwoman? 🤞🤞
I always love Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman ever since I watched Batman Returns a bunch of times. You look lovely as the DC feline anti-heroine. 🖤🐈⬛
Thanks so much, Ramiro!
Only thing I can say to this... MEEEEEOW!
Nycc in the future?
I wish! Maybe some day.
@@snarkyjay its gets chilly if you ever plan to go dress warm
I'm glad I didn't go, sounds like a merch grab event rather than a fan experience...I did miss you cosplaying CW, so I lose there...
That’s definitely what it felt like.
@@snarkyjay Damn, hopefully your next Con will be your best Con...
I can't imagine walking around in no AC, in PVC, and 5 in heels. The costume is fantastic though. 👌 The con sounds Iike a disaster though. Saturday is probably the biggest con day and their programming sucks? Lame. Also disappointing about O'Barr too. I loved the Crow and the original movie. What is that line about never meeting your heroes?
That line was EXACTLY what went through my head.
@@snarkyjay You are awesome Jay.
I think you look better then Michele Pfeifer did. You are definitely gorgeous.
Have you never been to any con before? I mean megacon and comic con San Diego are huge but the gripes you have with tampa con would have been much worse at any con bigger. And as far as the heat… I mean yeah I’d opt in for more of a Harley Quinn cosplay short sleeves and a skirt. Just a logical decision. Not criticism of the con itself. They don’t control weather or how long like are…? I was just confused this whole video.
I’ve been attending conventions for six years.
I don’t know what your confusion is, but I hope you figure it out.
Damn watching this video I’m glad I didn’t go.
You didn’t miss much!
did you need help in or out of the costume??? with all that heat i bet it was difficult to get out of it
Nope, I didn’t.
Beauty is pain Jay. Lol. Looking sexy cost Jay lolol
So we are going to use this video for a drinking game, you say air conditioning and we scull a shot, plus you look really hot as in tha uniform 👍👍👍
I say dont ever do a cosplay that dont accentuate your eyes. They are showstoppers!
That’s very sweet, thank you!
Your so beautiful love you girl ❣️
Thanks Riley! Much love.
Sadly this is a new company that bought out the original TBCC company. Sorry your day was lousy
I noticed they seemed to have new “FanX” branding!
@@snarkyjay yep! And the wristbands were different as well. I hate when cons get bought out they change so much. I was so hot in my cosplay it was awful
damn, black outfit sure suits you but daaaaaaamn yout catwoman is uncanny well done
