Episode 430: Yuliya.Crafts talks Star Wars, Marvel, DC, and Cosplay
Episode 430
We go to Germany for this episode, as Yuliya aka Yuliya.Crafts joins me to talk about her past, present, and future with fandom.
Raised in the Ukraine in the post-Soviet era, we refelect on Yuliya's first interactions with fandom. Mostly exposed to work from Japan, she didn't get into some of her current fandoms until the age of 20. We talk about the movies and shows she watched then, and what her fandom experiences were like.
We talk about fandoms that she's presently into, like Star Wars, Doctor Who, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and DC movies. We talk about her continued love of Star Wars, one of her first fandoms, and how the stories they've told in that fandom reflect in real life experiences with the current political climates, the war in Ukraine, and much more.
Yuliya talks about Marvel's Fantastic Four movie, and DC's Superman movie, and we reflect on what could come from both movie universes.
We wrap up by talking about Cosplay. Yuliya talks about Cosplay, including how she started. Yuliya talks about some of the characters she cosplays, how she determines who to represent, and some of the characters that she wants to portray in the future.
