How are they even called street performers ? All they do is dress up in a bootleg costume and ask people for pictures there’s 0% talent in anything that they do

Indeed. After the Spider-Man cop punch, Sesame Workshop made a statement saying they are exploring the possibility of legal action since the mascot characters are unauthorized, but nothing came out of it, even after they said they were going to meet with other companies about it.
Wife: how was your day? Cop: Well, I arrested, 4 spidermen and 2 Batmen.
"with great power comes great responsability "
i ever been in times square and i dont like the people with costumed characters that which most of it force tourist to photo with them even when dont ask for it and the most hard part is when they request certain amount after that.they truly have to be license to be there so tourist and they can be there in harmony.

Watch how this crackdown will end when the police start messing with people for no reason,then they'll get for a superhero to come stop the police officers from acting up! If you need help there is always a superhero around! As for that idiot who said they should have to have a license,may be never have to stand in a costume to make enough money to eat,pay rent,ect! Some of them are a little aggressive,but that's because the landlord they deal with wants rent money every second!I understand,though I'm a reap superhero I would stand and take pictures,but as soon as someone is in danger,I forget about posing for photos and go save a life!That's how real superheroes are!
I don’t know what is more intriguing spider man punched a cop or ghetto talking Minnie Mouse
Spider-thug, spider-thug, does whatever a thug spider can.

That's when the cosplay characters need to arrest those inside sleeper cells! Remember half of the Jan 6, insurrectionists were police officers!

If he got arrested, then that radioactive spider, wasn’t the right type or amount of radiation.
Those scammers are giving a bad name to the characters they are protraying: spiderman batman iron man etc. They don't deserve any tip their not doing anything extra but taking a pic and then one of the other performers tries to photo bomb the pic and charge double. All they deserve is anywhere from $2-$10. Nothing more. Remember when taking pictures with people in costume was only in department stores. I would rather give money to the people who have skill that do the acrobatics sing or play instruments on the street.
Bat🦇Man was arrested! Hey there's Mickey Mouse. 🐁🐀
Well I guess it's true what they say you either die hero or you live long enough to become the villain 🤔
I trust mini mouse's eye witness account
Well we know spider man fighting police and all am I right? Lol

This whole thing is absolutely hilarious
It seems like the police are FINALLY cracking down on aggressive costumed characters at the Crossroads of the World! This should have happened years ago.
This should be law
$5, $10, $20 for a picture? Really!for a guy dressed as spider-man, a lot of people dressed up as spider-man. If I was expecting a tip, $1 is fine with me.

William Avellan no they survive on tips (not allowed to ask, only accept). If they wanted to charge a fee they would need a license from the city. But then the vagrants started capitalizing on this and harassing the tourists and extorting money from them, while dressing up in cheap costumes.
His behavior shows why he cannot get a regular job….who knows what kind of criminal past these performers have and they work with children….BEWARE ! STRANGER DANGER !
Popped that G !
Homeless people with costumes. Just go to the wax museum.
The day the last Mortal Kombat game came out, I was wearing my Goro costume at gamestop and nothing like this went down. Some kids had their picture taken with me and everything was cool.
Well jonah Jameson got his wish

"They should licensed and pay taxes!" Treasonous coward.
