job\u2022ber.\u00a0\u00a0n<\/em>. \u2013 performer whose sole purpose is to lose with the express purpose of making their competitors look superior. \u00a0See professional wrestling terminology.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the fact that jobbers are undoubtedly important in the world of wrestling, as well as all other applications in which jobbers can be utilized, the bottom line is that nobody really wants to be a jobber.\u00a0 Sure, jobbers are still granted exposure, experience, and in many cases actually still paid, but when the day is done, they\u2019re portrayed as losers.\u00a0 Especially at younger ages, nobody wants to be losers.<\/span><\/p>\n I watch\u00a0Heroes of Cosplay<\/em>.\u00a0 This shouldn\u2019t be much of a surprise given the fact that I still go to occasional conventions, and take hundreds of pictures of people in costumes.\u00a0 I also know most of the Atlanta cast, but that doesn\u2019t influence my opinions of the show or how I feel about the things they say on television, or the things that are depicted as realities that I might question.\u00a0 Also, it\u2019s not like any of them probably actually visit my brog unless there\u2019s a chance that I might have a picture(s) of them.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But I do watch the show.\u00a0 Reasons would be the fact that I enjoy seeing people in costumes, inspiration for places to possibly visit in the future. But it really boils down to the fact that the show is presented like one gigantic trainwreck, injected with gobs and gobs of manufactured drama and false conflicts.\u00a0 Regardless, it\u2019s still entertaining for me to DVR and watch.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the fact that\u00a0I<\/em>\u00a0enjoyed the first season, I have to admit that I was surprised that it got a second season.\u00a0 Not because I thought it was so much of a trainwreck that it didn\u2019t warrant a second season, but in this day and age of television, and the general impatience of the game of ratings and instant gratification, frankly I\u2019ve seen amazing shows get shit-canned in spite of monumental support.\u00a0 Regardless, I was pleased, because it just meant more trainwreck television to enjoy in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n So, the biggest difference with season 2 is the fact that many new cosplayers were thrown into the pool of \u201cHeroes.\u201d\u00a0 Some I happen to know, some I recognize, and then a few faces that I have never seen or heard about.\u00a0 At first, I thought that it was a bad idea, because it had the potential to turn the show into a too many cooks in the kitchen kind of scenario, with not enough screen time for all the faces that wanted it.<\/span><\/p>\n But in reality, all it did was create a larger roster of cast members to be depicted on camera as defeated, sad-panda, and mopey, when they fail to win any sort of recognition of notoriety from each successive convention they go to.<\/span><\/p>\n Since every convention has a finite number of awards and prizes to give out, in essence by adding more people to the cast of\u00a0HoC<\/em>, they\u2019ve opened up the door for more of them to be, jobbers.<\/span><\/p>\n And the sadist in me finds a sadistic satisfaction in watching people be glorified for 35 minutes every episode, only to be torn down by subjective judging criteria, and end just about every episode in defeat.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m not going to lie, out of all the new cast members, it\u2019s the dudes that I enjoy seeing job the most.\u00a0 Not because they\u2019re dudes, and I inherently feel competitive towards other dudes, but it\u2019s their lack of humility and on-screen cockiness that simply makes me want to see them lose, and when they inevitably do, I lean back in my chair, set my beer down, and laugh heartily as the camera shows them trying in vain to hide their disappointment, their eyes speaking bibles full of sore loser-y words.<\/span><\/p>\n And truth be it, they simply don\u2019t make that great costumes.\u00a0 What gets me about some of the people on the show is the great lengths they go to, to be unique, which usually results in them picking characters that people either don\u2019t know, don\u2019t give a shit about, or both.\u00a0 Seriously, Mandarin?\u00a0 Haunt?\u00a0 Original shit?\u00a0 The mannequin monster from the shitty\u00a0Silent Hill\u00a0<\/em>movie that made\u00a0Super Mario Brothers<\/em>\u00a0the movie look like an Oscar-worthy film?<\/span><\/p>\n SPOILER ALERT<\/strong>: and I thought the best part about it all, was when\u00a0all of them<\/em>\u00a0jobbed to a fucking Dalek \u201ccostume.\u201d\u00a0 I mean seriously, there are like 200 Daleks that wander from convention to convention in the United States; they all look the same, they\u2019re nothing unique, but everyone loves the shit out of them, because there\u2019s such a fervent Doctor Who fanbase out there.\u00a0 This, is where I\u2019ve probably laughed the hardest throughout the entire show\u2019s span.<\/span><\/p>\n So yes, this season of HoC has been about as entertaining, if not more entertaining, with their decision to add more cast members.\u00a0 With more Heroes available, and the number of accolades not increasing, it just creates more opportunity for more of them to simply be, jobbers.<\/span><\/p>\n The\u00a0Jobbers of Cosplay<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" job\u2022ber.\u00a0\u00a0n. \u2013 performer whose sole purpose is to lose with the express purpose of making their competitors look superior. \u00a0See professional wrestling terminology.
