I mean I like the manga, but it's not that big a part of my life. It's fiction, and I can appreciate that it's not real, and I can keep myself from getting overly invested. That said, I think you should drive to their houses and murder them.

I can always rely on you to be the voice of reason, I'm such a silly goose! To think I was going to mail them envelopes of spit like a ruddy idiot.

I think a lot of people forget that the majority of the race it's just the two of them hanging out as opposed to previous parts where you had much larger casts, so by necessity Gyro has much more plot time than previous non-JoJos. To call him the true only main character or the actual main character basically ignores all of Gyro's own development as a character.

Also Johnny is the best JoJo and smh at anyone who still picks Joseph as their favourite in TYOOL 2017.

Johnny is undeniably the best, but he's not my favorite, if that makes sense.

Yeah that's reasonable because The Wire is the best show ever made but it's not my favourite. However Joseph is a deeply suspect favourite.

Joseph has a weird effect on people, it's wild. My friend started Part 4 today and once told the premise of Josuke's birth, he said it was super out of character for Joseph all together.

Like dude where were you the last 60+ episodes when Joseph was onscreen

EmmyOk
Aug 11, 2013

I think that's understandable tbh because up until that point he's an idiot but not lovely, hardly the biggest stretch in the world though. More importantly Josuke is the perfect version of Joseph, a chill fun dude who has fun solutions to problems that aren't just absurd rear end pulls. He is also a beautiful and sweet boy.

the most entry level truth of jojo is realizing that joseph is kind of an rear end in a top hat, and many people fail that step spectacularly

also he's kind of boring and it doesn't help that part 2 is the Only Joseph Does Things Power Hour, which would be better if he happened to be more interesting (see: gappy in jojolion currently), but, he's not

Joseph being somewhat of an rear end in a top hat is part of his charm. And yeah, he's the best Jojo, then is Jonathan, Josuke, Jotaro, Jolyne, Giorno and Johnny.

Yeah, Joseph's first moment on screen is being good and heroic in the vein of George, so we get to think "Oh man, what a gentleman", until he flips his poo poo and destroys two policemen - who, granted, did deserve it, but the only reason why he thinks anything at all about this episode is because Erina is going to get mad at him for losing his temper. Unlike Jonathan who was motivated by wanting to be a good person, Joseph is only motivated here by not letting his grandma down (and he kind of does anyway). He then heroically fights an rear end in a top hat in a restaurant, which is good! He then fucks up a guy who just gave him bad news. With no regard for other people, he Tommy-guns Straits and the entire bar. He then tries to call Straits' "bluff" with the hostage, who gets a tooth ripped out for that...

That's basically the first two episodes of Battle Tendency. Joseph is our protagonist, and he's funny, but that shouldn't distract us from the fact that he's a jerk.

I like Joseph because he's a funny man who does extremely stupid poo poo whilst pissing over his grandfather's chivalrous legacy. Like we can argue all day about Josuke being a more refined take on the same archetype or Johnny being the ~deepest~ JoJo but neither of them have a scene where they conk themselves on the head on the head in the middle of a dramatic high stakes confrontation and then strategically run away whilst the supporting cast sighs in despair and calls them a cowardly little bitch.

Some interesting quote from a recent interview with Araki: http://www.anime-now.com/entry/2017/03/13/230005?utm_campaign=ANN

On why Josuke is his favorite Jojo character:

quote:

Until then, I’d always made my protagonists cool heroes, but [with Josuke] it was the first time I’d depicted the protagonist as a friend.

On the upcoming movie:

quote:

First I wondered if they would be able to properly depict Stands. Also [I wondered] if the actors would be able to portray the atmosphere...I’m both worried and excited.

Though on a more positive note, regarding seeing the movie actors in costume:

quote:

It’s surprising to see them so similar to the source material. I think it’s wonderful.

Also, he didn't like killing off Iggy, but he felt he had to:

quote:

If you force [the story] something breaks.
