I laughed but I was hoping Dio would pop out at the end.

I'm starting to get antsy as CR hasn't posted anything about them showing it next week. I guess they don't need to hype it but come on man JOJO is starting up!!!

Honestly I just want Stardust Crusaders to end quickly, 'cos Jotaro is definitely the dullest JoJo so far and old Joseph is more serious than Battle Tendency. And the bad guys are mostly boring, except for Hol Horse. He was fun.

Duller than Jonathan? At least Jotaro has some moments of goofiness (example being the signature after The Lovers).

I'm kind of surprised by all the hate Jotaro's gotten during Stardust Crusaders; I thought he was really great. That said, each part has a significant tonal shift, so it only makes sense people drawn in by Battle Tendency might not like Jotaro as much. I'm sure they'd enjoy Diamond is Unbreakable more.

Egypt's got you covered here. I can see how the first half would be dull for a lot of people, but once the Crusaders get to Egypt, the battles and villains really ramp the gently caress up.

Wheel of Fortune is also pretty good, if for no other reason than the mind games he played with the group.

Jotaro, Joseph, and Polnareff beating up a bunch of dudes at the cafe because one of them must be the Stand user was hilarious.

I also imagine if Jotaro seems kind of bland and boring, it is probably because you have seen a dozen heroes from various programs who were in no small part inspired by him.

To be fair, Young Joseph is easily the best JoJo and his son inherited the "Being fun and cool" gene from him.

It helps that Battle Tendency is easily the best of the first 3 arcs. But there's no such thing as a bad JoJo, and Stardust has so many great fights and fun moments, I can't take seriously the thought that Hol Horse was the only standout.

Hey, at least Jonathan had dialogue other than lovely one-liners and an occasional sentence or two. Plus, Stands are dumb and boring, and the fights using them are too.

tbh if I didn't have someone that's way more excited for it that's going to want to watch it with me as it airs I'd just wait for it to be over and marathon it. the first half taught me that stand of the week really does not hold my attention if i have to wait an actual week for it

The thing that ruins part 3 for me, is the fact that the protagonists' stands are all pretty similar:

Jotaro: fast, strong, precise.
Polnareff: fast, precise.
Avdol: Shoots fire.
Kakyoin: Shoots jewelry.
Josephs stands is cool though.

Thankfully the next season is going to have a lot of interesting antagonists to make up for that. The last 2-3 fights are some of my favorites from the whole series.

Do you ever see Star Platinum pull out dual wielded machineguns? Or Hermit Blue waving a sword of "Pluck and Luck"? The only cool stand so far was the monkey, because the monkey had a ship and ships are cool.

While those are good points, Kakyoin's Stand has a few more functions like using its tentacles for combat and being able to take over people's bodies.

Let's just be a little more patient though, it might get as good as Battle Tendency by the end, so many goons can't be wrong.

Part of the problem with the protags in Part 3 is that they were created when Araki was just starting to figure out the mechanics of stands; so you're stuck with Fast Punchman and Fast Stabman even as the enemy stands get more interesting.

Darko
Dec 23, 2004

Yeah, I could easily understand why people wouldn't be all that into Stands at this point. I don't think I was hooked, either, right now. Somewhere in the next four or five episodes is when the Stand thing started "clicking" (via villains, since the heroes were stuck with pretty boring Stands at this point), and then from the next series on, Araki starts giving the heroes the weirder types of Stands the villains had here, which make the battles a lot more fun and creative than almost anything.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Basically, just hold out til the end, stand types and powers only get more and more creative and amazing from here.
