Waffleman_ posted:It's Friday! "Huh?" F-R-I-D-A-Y! It's Friday! "Fried eggs? I wanted mine scrambled." Also good. I'd add "what a terrible Friday" to the list eventually.

That PV song is either the OP or Josuke's theme (I'm leaning towards the latter) and either way it's pretty great.

Jojo is fabulous as all hell, but I never really got "gay" from it because everyone is Macho As gently caress (except for Dio but Dio is a vampire) 24/7. Even that "band of brothers' love" thing is somewhat understated compared to other media.

Josuke Higashikata posted:Even DIO's macho in his own way. He's an extremely commanding presence and demands the respect of those around him with it. He dresses a lot more flamboyantly than most characters (though his jewellery isn't especially more flashy than Josuke's for example) but his character is written to be macho and that comes across pretty well too. Most of DIO's more homoerotic parts that people tend to class him as "gay" with are post script in the end, like all of Part 4 onwards. Sure, my point is more that the modern depiction of vampires is about seduction, regardless of sexuality. He's commanding, but it's not through posturing, he's the superior being that everyone should love. Serperoth posted:This is similar to how I feel about JoJos and machismo. It's a very masculine thing, the characters are trim and muscular (not bodybuilders, but STR wasn't their dump stat by any stretch), engaging in traditional macho pasttimes (fighting), but without a lot of the trappings of modern masculinity. A lot of guys now (or even in 1990) wouldn't own $2k clothes (Jotaro in Part 3 does), because CLOTHES ARE 4 GIRLS (not that I agree), whereas JJBA revels in that kind of extravagance. It's all thanks to Araki's high fashion influence. I mean, other than the way they look (and how much they care about their expensive clothing), there's not a lot of masculinity subversion going on in Jojo. But just the fact that they dress like catwalk models (and really, that's more of a thing post-part 4) is enough to throw people for a loop.

Josuke Higashikata posted:Let's be super real, people love DIO for showing off Jonathan's huge cock at all opportunities. I mean, it makes for a convincing argument.

Lumberjack Bonanza posted:I've always loved the way Araki draws blood and gore. Just look at that hit Hazamada takes: the way the blood just soars out of him when he gets hit by the helmet manages to be both comically absurd and deadly serious. Araki does that thing where every single wound, regardless of how deep or serious, splutters out blood like a fountain. It is great, although a bit counter-productive for telling how serious an injury was.

Lumberjack Bonanza posted:Yeah, I really like how helpful Echoes is fighting Surface, in really clever and creative ways. It's such a step up from the introduction. I know I was pretty obtuse the last time it got brought up but introducing it by having Koichi essentially shout his way to victory still doesn't sit right. It just seems so... inelegant. I stand (heh) by my original statement about Echoes - it is kinda broken.

MonsieurChoc posted:Goblin is a band that did horror movie soundtracks for 20+ years, including pretty much everything Dario Argento did. They're awesome, and many of the movies they scored are in Araki's list of horror movies he liked and he loves to name Stands after bands/songs. Also if you've been kinda aware of EDM in the last decade, it's where the sample for this comes from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QCBkwmsOk0 And yeah, holy poo poo, considering Araki's love of (a) Italy, (b) Horror Movies and (c) Prog Rock, Goblin was kind of a shoe-in for a Stand name, right?
