Of course they look similar because Josuke specifically dresses and wears his hair like him It would be weird if they didn't look similar

Neither DIegO did anything wrong. Legitimately, unlike memeing that DIO is pure.

tiistai posted:Of course they look similar because Josuke specifically dresses and wears his hair like him Yeah, Josuke is deliberately going for That Yanki Aesthetic so of course they look similar. Like, if you're also going for the "why is his face all shadowed" argument, you could literally use the same one for the gangster that Giorno helps. It's much more likely in both of these cases that it's a hazy memory and the kids either didn't see their faces very well or have a hard time remembering them. Plus, like Aurain said, Araki probably hasn't settled on the main power of the bad guy at this point.

Not totally related, but I remember reading that when characters are shadowed, particularly villains like Diavolo originally, it's often simply because their design isn't finalised but they need to show up. His silhouette is quite different to his final look even in the minor details you can see. So there's that aspect to these things at times. No decision has been made on what to actually draw.

Wasn't one of Diavolo's silhouettes wearing like a three piece suit. I'm pretty sure it's one of his costumes in Eyes of Heaven even.

His silhouette is quite different to his final look even in the minor details you can see. If you give a character a face, whether you intend to or not you are marking them out as an individual character. Even if you don't provide it, they must have a name, a backstory, and even a personality simply because all characters do. When you leave a character faceless, you are doing one of two things. You are either making his identity a mystery that will be resolved later, or you are purposefully hiding his individual details because it is important that the audience not think of him as a character. "Faceless goon" is a term for a reason. Just to hammer in this point further, if Josuke's flashback was at all framed as a mystery, then you could make the argument that it's a dropped plot point. But it's not. At all. Here are the "clues" we know about the mystery man:
2. He was wearing a school uniform. 3. He styled his hair in a pompadour. It's fine and dandy to be curious about who the guy was (Josuke is too!), but arguing that the scene is some missed opportunity is quite frankly asinine. It does everything it sets out to do perfectly, and the only possible hangups you might have with it are from if you outsmarted yourself and thought it was hinting that Josuke would be sent back in time (even though that would completely ruin the story). And if your only complaint is that the story didn't go the (shittier) direction you thought it would, then guess what? That's got nothing to do with the quality of the story itself. EDIT: If you can't tell, I really like Part IV and think it is a perfect flawless gem. BlitzBlast fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Apr 16, 2016 |

He also killed Wekapipo just because he's an rear end in a top hat. Don't tell me there was no way to pull him out of the other dimension that didn't involve putting his entire body through too. edit: Apparently the guy's name is Wekapipo this whole time and I never noticed.

Bad Seafood posted:Diego 2.0 is pretty explicitly evil. Yeah, between using his fangirls as body shields and going on at length about how he's going to rape Lucy it's fair to see AU Diego isn't a super great guy, which is of course the point of the character and a return to the clasic DIO megalomania we all know and love.

Valentine wanted to deny the corpse to Johnny because despite what he keeps saying he's still an incredibly petty piece of poo poo, and doesn't mind letting Dio have the corpse because he's in full gently caress That Guy mode and just wants Johnny to get hosed over at any cost.

Silver2195 posted:4>7>2>6>5>3>1, IMO. Prior to Part 7, it was like the Star Trek movies: the even ones were better than the odd ones. Interesting to note that the last time I mentioned this, I put 2 before 7. They're fairly close, really. I still stand by pretty much everything else I said.

2 has more inventive fights than most of part 3 tho, and I still have a soft spot for Joseph in my heart. It's kinda refreshing to have a non-traditional protagonist, someone that is by all means an rear end in a top hat, but still does what he has to in the end. 5 has a better ensemble cast, but Joseph is way better than Giorno as a protagonist, IMO. I'd probably not rank it above 6, 7 and 4, but it's on the upper part of the 8-part divide so far (at least until JJL finishes, I'm pretty sure that one will be one of my favorite parts, if it's not outright my favorite). Also I've been re-reading Jojolion and gently caress little kids I hope they all turn into rock.

My Jojo rankings are honestly kinda nebulous. I know I like Parts 7, 3, and 4 better than the rest (in that order), but past that point it's kinda murky and sometimes I like one part more or another part less.
