It’s that time of year again: Halloween is right around the corner! Forgot to order your costume early? Frustrated that you can’t compete with all those cool people online who somehow do cosplay for a living? Never fear! Marvelous Movies is here to guide you through some completely legitimate and non-satirical costume ideas that you can use to impress your friends! Read on for more!

• Dad Bod Spider-Man from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
  What you’ll need: a Spider-Man T-shirt, a bathrobe, and a stretchy pair of pants.
  Bonus points for an actual dad bod, an actual Spider-baby, or a sense of being a disgruntled 30-something who’s slightly out of touch with the cool kids.

• Ariel from The Little Mermaid.
  What you’ll need: A bra. A shell. Bonus points for a bra made of shells.
  Also, preferably, boobs. Don’t be one of those overweight dudes who dresses as a girl with a bra to be funny. You’re not as cool or funny as you think you are.

• Desert Hobo Ezra from Ahsoka.
  What you’ll need: A brown robe/cloak and a dirty old shirt. Or basically a costume of any Jedi if you don’t wash it for a while and leave it out in the sun.
  Bonus points if you reuse your old costume from that time you played Jesus in your church youth group’s Easter play.

• Your younger self from the multiverse from The Flash.
  What you’ll need: a college hoodie. All that hair you used to have. And the youthful idealism you lost long ago.
  On second thought, acquiring those last two things probably doesn’t qualify as “low-effort.” And you probably shouldn’t try it because you might create a paradox and screw up the timeline again.

• A Skrull from Secret Invasion.
  What you’ll need: what you’re wearing right now is fine.
  This is the easiest costume of all, since the Skrulls are shapeshifters and can literally look any way they want to! Just tell people you’re dressed up as a Skrull disguised as yourself, and they’ll be just as underwhelmed by your costume as most fans were by Secret Invasion.
