Waffleman_ posted:I remember almost nothing about Vento Aureo, actually. I actually felt the exact same way until I started re-reading it for the new translation. But now, everything about Part 5 is great. Maybe people underestimate how much the current bad translation butchers things, but Part 5 is actually full of cool, badass, and memorable moments. Giorno gets the worst of it, since he's supposed to be this guy who can give a dramatic speech and kick rear end at the same time, but the western community seems to remember him mostly as the guy who magically knows the solution to everything, or the guy who takes a backseat to every other member of the Gang Stars.

I mean, so far, as the story progressed, Giorno noticing tiny little details and being able to deduce what was going on, or at least come to a logical conclusion, felt like it was supposed to be a source of group tension at first? Like in Soft Machine, when Abbacchio's incredulous about Giorno trying to figure things out and Buccellati's being like "shut the gently caress up and let him talk" probably made suspicion worse. Like, why is Buccellati so invested and trusting of this new guy, right? The turning point for Abbaccio is the Illuso fight, where Giorno slaps together a vaccine based on a guess, then from Grateful Dead onward people start seeing him as this canary in the coal mine because he notices things first, he never really "shuts off" (he wakes up from a nap and less than a minute later he's noticing things that are off at the beginning of Grateful Dead), and it doesn't hurt that he's incredibly well read. Giorno looks mildly uncomfortable and Fugo's immediately like "WHAT'S WRONG GIORNO, WHAT DO YOUR ELF EYES SEE" and I feel like this is supposed to be the buildup for everyone gaining trust in him as the leader. And it isn't as if other Joestars haven't done that kind of thinking and problem solving before (Joseph and Jotaro are pretty good examples) so I really don't get where the "he magically knows everything" complaint comes from because sssoooo did other Joestars? The building block of the entire series is using your intelligence and improvisation to defeat your enemies? I don't see any real difference except that Giorno might be more well read/academic about it, but Joseph was referencing The Art of War and poo poo, so

Having taken inspiration from Independence Day for Funny Valentine's premise as "fighting President", I'm somewhat sad no one says "Welcome ta earf" in SBR

Naerasa posted:I missed Khnum on that quiz because I couldn't spell it and refused to look it up. All I could remember of Blackmoore's stand was "Something the Rainbow" so I wasted about a minute typing in various words until it finally took Catch the Rainbow. I ended up looking up Oyecomova's though because all I remembered was that it's a Japanese song and gently caress remembering that.

Oyecomova's stand is never named in the comic proper. Neither is the green baby's stand in Part 6.

I knew Oyecomova's but I had to look up how to spell it so I gave it to myself. The Green Baby's Stand stood in my head cause Green, Green Grass of Home is a good name.

I'm trying to find a collection of images comparing JJBA's outfits and poses to fashion models. I've found a few individual pictures, but no collections. Should I be looking on Tumblr or Imgur or what?

If not/you don't have the inclination, do you mind if I set up a tumblr page or something as a place to quickly reference it? Also your posts. They are my favorite.   I wanna buy this emoticon. :iggy: is simple and easy to remember but not very clever. Anybody got a better idea?

If not/you don't have the inclination, do you mind if I set up a tumblr page or something as a place to quickly reference it? I took all that from some other page that was citing those images as examples of araki plagiarizing, but I guess that site doesnt exist anymore since I can't find it so if you wanna rehost the images somewhere then that's fine. IIRC there are a lot more than just those, but those are the ones that I found on that site.

I go on and on about it in this thread and I'm sorry not sorry but there's a Bruno fight in Vento that's just so fantastic that anything else in Vento pales in comparison for me. Given how quickly you read you'll be there soon enough. Does alcharagia already know about our surprise guest good guy in a wheelchair? I don't remember
