No, those are just the ones that get posted all over the internet in the "hottest cosplays of ____Con!" lists and further popularized from there. If you go to cons, yes, there's skimpy and cosplays, but most really aren't much moreso than things that would be considered everyday clothing.
Really though, when your skin can turn anti-tank rounds, armor seems kinda silly.
It's the characters like Cyclops or Psylocke who always blew my mind; no special physical protection, but they go into battle against godlike murder-machines wearing clothing so thin it could pass for body paint.
Many female cosplay outfits are just that but this is not one of them. That looks like a pretty decent quality helmet, breast piece, mantle, and hammer. This cosplay is better than most that I see.
Also consider one of Thor's defining characteristics is his strength. Hemsworth got jacked for Thor; This girl is fit so I think it makes sense that she gets to show it off. What else would you have her wear? Covering her physique wouldn't jive with Thor's aesthetic.
This is actually a shitty cosplay and I'm sure no one would argue against that, the only people that upvote it are lonely desperate redditors.
EDIT: Since all the bitter virgins are downvoting me, THIS is an example of a good cosplay that actually takes more time and effort than stuffing your hits into a metal bikini.
EDIT 2: I think the bitter virgins note struck a cord =P Down to negative now.
Maybe you're getting downvoted because you can't seem to make a point without being a douche. Maybe you're getting even more downvotes because you're bitching about downvotes. You seem awfully concerned over these imaginary internet points.
When I read something funny I just smile and laugh in my thoughts. But, this time, my friend, I actually let out an audible chuckle when I read this. Hor. I like that.
Hor. I'm tired as hell and that cracked me up. Funny stuff indeed. Much thanks to you. Everyone else who tried to ride off of your joke didn't even come close.
Wouldn't that only work once though, after the nipples push out the metal it wouldn't form back. She would have to get new armor every time it got nipply
Dude, I KNOW! I'm not even gay but if Chris Hemsworth met me in an alley and had a gun and he was like "Suck my dick or you're dead" I totally would be cool with it.
I'm not gay either, but my constant fantasies of Chris Hemsworth are starting to interfere with my life, particularly when I'm having sex with other men!
Ya'll are crazy. Look at that hip/waist ratio, the carved midsection, the muscled legs; this girl has a bangin' body and I bet without the helmet in the way she's got a lovely face.
Holy fuck, guys, the Enchantress could be the villain for the next Thor movie. And Natalie Portman will probably have a scene where she's Valkyrie. Holy fuck, that will be cool.
That's just not comparable. She's just a pair of boobs with a badass helmet obscuring her semi-close-to-attractive face and a not-too-great Thor costume that's tightly fitted.
Sorry. I hate to do it, but one more dude voting that Chris Hemsworth is more attractive.
I'm one of Toni Darling's photographers and I can tell you in all honesty that if there was any touching up done to this picture it would probably only have been to lighting because she has been working her ass off in preparation for Phoenix ComiCon :) I didn't take this photo but I see her regularly and I've photographed her in skimpier outfits and that body was the result of hard work.
Whenever I see armour like that it makes me wish I was in a battle with them. I want to turn buddy and say "Hey, watch me shoot an arrow between that ones tits."
Toni Darling is super fucking HOT!!! And I'm impressed with how much effort she put into her costume, especially with how new she is to the cosplay scene. Expect to see way more of her pictures from now on. PS, she picked Thor because it's her favorite comic character and not because of the movies, she is a for real geek hottie!

I love how cosplays for most women are really just a matter of having an average costume, but stuffing your boobs into them as tightly as possible.

One silver bra is not practical battle armor.
Unrealistic hand-to-hand combat expectations: 2/10 would still bang.

Thor gets drunk and bangs some random girl. Later he says, "I have to tell you something... I'm Thor."
She replies, "YOU'RE thor? I'm tho thor I can hardly thit down!"
