sounds like you're forgetting about the ending, where giorno turns the earth into a giant pufferfish which then deflates and they all get punted off into space because of it

Silver2195 posted:They're physical projections of your personality more than your life force, really. Early in Part 3 they were implied to be connected to the Ripple somehow, but Araki Forgot (or, more likely, just dropped the idea on purpose). he probably had an "oh gently caress" moment when he realized that giving DIO the strongest ripple power made no sense that, or he envisioned only the protagonists having stands, and the enemies being increasingly weird undead like in part 1 or 2

it's an incredibly cold take already but jojo is only as wildly successful as it is today due to stands and the faster araki divorced them from the ripple the better

Hamon was cool but it was very played out by the end of part 2. Stands have so much more depth to them than sunlight martial arts and allow for more interesting stories.

Tetracube posted:stand tier list Purple haze is bad because the power is bad for writing. But I think that since it only shows up once it's cool. Like the limited use gives it some mysteriousness and let's you know it's a terrible power that must never be used, unless absolutely needed. It's not like GE bull making GBS threads us through every situation.

That tongue poo poo Narancia did at the end of Talking Head and Clash was way more bs than anything Giorno's pulled so far, and even that is halvsies on him. "The user, Narancia. Go after the USER! Also, quick, take my ladybug thing, it'll turn into a replacement tongue later when you cut your tongue out to suss out the user, a plan I somehow know we've both already come up w right now and are already on the same page about, somehow, silently. K, peace *zip*"

It's like that part of DiU where Josuke and Okuyasu communicate telepathically, only this happens in the middle of a serious fight instead of during a gag chapter involving an alien(?).

Flesnolk posted:I can't help but feel like Fugo was a pointless character. in a world of where guys drive cars off bridges or purposefully take their own bullet fire out of Resolve and A Dream, i like that there's someone else there that not only will not do those things, but can't. fugo can't make that step onto the boat and he can't make himself understand why all his friends can. and i think that's refreshing, but makes the other characters who can look even stronger.

Fugo was a good lad But manga is generally written by the seat of the pants with ridiculously tight deadlines and Purple Haze is textbook case of written into a corner, it doesn't always work out. Similar case with Avdol. He'd trivialise a lot of stands if he were allowed to just flamethrower all the poo poo or leave napalm landmines all over the joint.

Also Araki's original plan was to have Fugo betray them to the boss, but he felt sad about doing that, and so benched him instead.

That kind of thing does add to the unpredictability of the story, kind of like waxing Jonathan abruptly in Part 1. Sometimes you meet people and then they go away for no good reason.

the fact that fugo decides not to go with the rest of the gang makes the decision to betray the boss feel much more serious

Expect My Mom posted:imo fugo is cool Why is fugo cool. Literally the only thing that made him interesting was him choosing not do something. It's not like he actively contributed to anything, other than the one fight. Even then it was Giorno doing most of the legwork. We have the backstory of him being molested and being angry, but even that amounts to nothing. All he did was stand around in that stupid swiss cheese suit.

a character doesnt have to Do Something to be Cool. they can just be written interestingly. to say that fugo's backstory doesn't amount to anything is ridiculous, it tells a lot about who he is and informs us of why he acts like this. he has genuine mental issues and a traumatic history that not only make him lash out at his friends, but prevent him from having the empathy for trish like narancia or bruno have or having the deep faith in the group like mista and abbachio have. this further isolates him and makes the decision to rebel against the Boss feel like a real choice. i would love for there to have been more scenes for fugo to develop or further explore his character, but i really like the subtle brush he's painted with, a sad portrait of someone who's left all alone. there's also a good amount of Araki interviews where he talks about Fugo and how some personal things in his life made that character difficult for him that i like a lot Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Apr 10, 2019 |

Fugo’s spent so much of his life just boiling below the surface and trying to keep himself under control because when he gets mad, bad things happen. So when the entire group decides to do what is right instead of what’s smart, Fugo can’t understand because his life to this point has taught him to always do the opposite.

He also let Trish use his coat to dry her hands, and fell face first into her breasts at one point. So if nothing else, he was useful for comic relief at times.
