I'm rewatching jojo with a friend who hasn't seen it, and after the empress fight i gotta say, Joseph is still by FAR my favorite jojo even after catching up through the end of p7.

Just saw this post and it got me to actually take a close look at Hot Pants' outfit for the first time.

Is she wearing like an off-the-shoulder pink shirt, but with an extra strap, over some kind of chainmail turtleneck? With big metal leaf/flower pins just stuck all over it at random?

I love Araki's design sense lol

I think what sets Joseph apart from the other jojos, and why I love him so much, is that while other jojos get into pinches and have to puzzle their way out of the situation (or in Jonathan's case, MUSCLE and HONOR his way through), they're mostly very serious and treat the situations with the appropriate gravity, which is good and fine, but Joseph instead does poo poo that looks dumb as hell at the time. Sometimes on purpose (e.g. acting like he's trying to run away from the Pillar Men, one my favorite Joseph moments), sometimes just because he's operating on a whole nother level and his enemies just don't understand his idiot-savant-ness (e.g. the Empress fight where she's like "why you running away from the others idiot" and Joseph's like "gotcha sucker, now your next line is this, YEAH I STILL GOT IT BABY)"

I love trickster characters, and Joseph is the trickster Jojo who lulls you into underestimating him before he owns you

the really funny thing about determinedly posting that jojolion is bad is that nobody is really here saying that jojolion is extremely good

we're all here like 'yeah it's serviceable with some hilarious wild poo poo' and this guy's like "NO GODS NO KINGS"

Jojolion owns bones actually.

Milagro Man was fun, I wish it had lasted a bit longer but the ending being Joshu just telling the stand's rules to go gently caress itself and dunking on the guy who spread it to him in the first place was funny

Jojolion would probably be more enjoyable if the translation wasn't so exhausting to read

Josuke getting massively hosed up just so he can get to the hospital to beat the poo poo out of that doctor rules, actually.

I like that there are multiple instances of our protagonist actively choosing to gently caress themselves up.

I just like how direct it is in solving the problem. It's such a clever solution in its simplicity.

I really need to read over the story again while keeping the themes of identity and family in mind, I feel like that'll help me jog my appreciation for Jojolion more.

Another thing Joseph has over the other Joestars is that he's a funny extrovert surrounded by introverts. He might not have the layers that the others do, but he's always entertaining with his attempts at humor, loud shouting in English or being an actual dumbass.

Joseph owns.

If you ask me, Joseph also has the advantage of probably the best introduction episode of all JoJos

Look at this goof, barely aware of the vampire threat catching up on him. Oh wow, he noticed Straizo... Oh. Not only did he know what was coming, he's extremely well-prepared. And he knows right away what's up with Straizo. AND HE BROUGHT A loving TOMMY GUN HOLY poo poo

Everyone should have to watch the finale of part 1 directly followed by the intro of part 2. It's the perfect way of hooking you on the insane JoJo logic that permeates the entire series.

I mean it seems like it's rapidly building towards that; just that the monthly format is going to make any sort of conclusion take a while.
