Johnny Joestar posted:i actually did forget the ringo thing but that's probably because i never much cared for ringo. i don't like it being used in general, especially if it involves kids. Especially when they do it like five times too. At least Stephen Steel got a chance to prove himself as Not A Creep, I guess.

Suaimhneas posted:Okay I can accept that I forgot most of part 5 because it's been ages since I read it. But how the hell did I forget half the stand names in part 6 and almost all of 7's? And how come I could remember most of the ones from the start of part 8 but absolutely none after King Nothing I started that test and then stopped once I realized I could not actually remember the colors for like half the arcana stands, or most of the Egyptian god ones. It's me, I'm the worst fan.

Josuke Higashikata posted:It's extremely dumb and poo poo that Gold Experience is a better healer than Crazy Diamond. Where'd you get this impression? As far as healing people went, they seemed mostly the same since the world works on bullshit time, but Crazy Diamond could also fix objects. To be honest, I didn't have a big problem with Gold Experience. It randomly lost two of the abilities it started with, but he never really "gained" any other powers, he just used the ones he had in a different way, and I thought it was kind of clever. After he realized he could heal, he doesn't gain anything until he uses the arrow, which was meant to be an "I WIN" button to begin with.

Araki's art is the best cause you can see a guy clearly trying his best, and he slowly grows to have a distinct style. That said, he's kind of terrible at different body types. There aren't many characters that aren't lanky. When Diavolo is the buffest man you've drawn in like twenty years, something isn't right.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Anyway, I feel like Jotaro carrying a picture of his family wouldn't really match. If I were David, I'd have Joseph just mention it offhand "Hey, grandson, how's the wife and daughter?" and Jotaro just ignores it completely and some people assume it's just some more of Joseph's wacky senile banter. We saw that he kept a picture of his friends from Part 3 later on, so I would say having a picture of his wife and kid is in line with him.

We had Paco (I think that was his name) in part 1, Smokey in part 2, and Anne (though she didn't have a name) in part 3, so it's not surprising to think Koichi might not have a purpose in part 4. Araki likes making useless little kids, it's just that part 4 doesn't have one.

The narrative where the new concept of stands is introduced with its own set of rules, just for Dio to near immediately invalidate two of them at once, which is never mentioned again. Araki can be worse than Kojima when it comes to writing a narrative, so it's kind of pointless to read the series just for that.

You could read an entire synopsis of Jojo and still have tons of fun reading it though. I had like everything spoiled for me when reading the series and still loved it, cause Jojo doesn't care about a plot.

mWasn't the fusion of Whitesnake and the Green Child the reason Pucci and Weather got the Joestar birthmark? At this point Dio and Jonathan are pretty much considered the same.

Yeah, Jojo's literal decades old, so I can understand him not being able to recreate his old style. I'd say the new drawings are more a testament that he isn't very good at drawing different body types, though.

He also killed Wekapipo just because he's an rear end in a top hat.

As far as the actual manga goes, I really didn't like the way Lucy was threatened with rape so often and has multiple older men want to marry her. That got really annoying. And as far as fandom goes, I really can't stand it when people say Pucci isn't black. Look at him. That is a black man.

She's closer to Jolyne than Johnny is to Jonathan, but her life was still completely different. It's more like what Jolyne would have turned out to be if Jotaro wasn't a bad dad.

Keicho has seemingly tried all kinds of things (including shredding him to pieces apparently) and he hasn't died from that. All Kira can do is blow him up a bunch. What I wonder is, if he's like this from Dio's buds, shouldn't he just burn up in the sun?

FirstAidKite posted:I didn't find gold experience too complicated to understand, just way too vague in terms of powers. He could punch life into things so there ended up being like way too many things that tied back into this, and also something about reflecting damage sometimes which I dunno what it has to giving life to stuff but eh From what I remember, he only uses those two powers very early on (like, I want to say he never uses either of them after he fights Buccelati). After that he's entirely about making objects into living things that return to their owners. The only time he "gained" a power was when he realized organs counted as living things, and could start healing people.
