As if we needed another reason to question humanity, Fan Expo Canada 2025 happened. Yes, the Toronto Metro Convention Centre was once again filled with the scent of questionable hygiene and the echoes of desperate attempts to sell overpriced Funko Pops. CGMagazine, bless their hearts, decided to document the “fanciest and eccentric” cosplayers. Let’s be real, it’s a mixed bag of “I tried” and “Mom, please help me with this duct tape.” They ranged from “hottest anime series” (read: whatever’s trending on TikTok) to “horror flicks” (because nothing says “scary” like a horde of people dressed as Pennywise fighting over the last slice of pizza 🍕).
Each year, Fan Expo Canada somehow manages to suck in more unsuspecting victims, luring them with the promise of “new installations and exhibitor booths.” Artist Alley expanded, probably because all the artists realized they could make more money selling fanart than going to art school 🎨. And let’s not forget the celebrity guests, because who wouldn’t want to pay $200 for a blurry photo with someone who peaked in the ’80s? We’re talking Hailee Steinfeld (aka Hawkeye , because apparently, she’s not busy enough), William Shatner (who probably forgot he was even in Star Trek 🚀), Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd (still cashing in on Back to the Future), and Ewan McGregor (because Star Wars fans haven’t suffered enough already 🌠). Prepare yourselves for the “essence” of the weekend, which basically translates to “a bunch of people standing in lines.”
Feast your eyes on this “gallery” capturing the “essence” of Fan Expo Canada 2025. We dare you to look at these pictures and not question your life choices. Enjoy 🤣!
