Part 5 easily has the most Italian representation, but its not the only part that passes the Bechedelli Test. For those of you who don't know, the test consists of three criteria: 1. The work must have at least two Italians in it, 2. Who talk to each other, 3. About something other than food.

tweet my meat posted:It seems like the protagonists just get sleazier and sleazier the further the series goes on and I really like it. Does this trend continue? I haven't read part 5 or 6 so I only have a limited impression of Giorno but so far he seems to be a continuation of the "bad boy with a heart of gold" characterization of Josuke and to a lesser extent, Jotaro. Johnny in part 7 is more of an inversion of this. At first he seems like an innocent goodboy but then you find out about his past and throughout part 7 he's shown as a flawed, imperfect individual. He 's selfish and has a dark streak but it's nuanced enough that he never comes off as an edgelord antihero. He's just human. Pomplamoose fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Oct 8, 2018 |

Expect My Mom posted:there is a reason araki is paid to decide what names are used and we are not I haven’t gotten far into part 8 and I won’t spoil the plot but “Soft and Wet” is already my favorite stand name. Previous protagonist’s stands were all named after hard, durable materials: platinum, diamond, gold, stone, and tusk. But soft and wet goes the complete opposite direction. Also it’s one of the more underrrated prince songs.

We still haven't heard the main version of the main character stand battle theme. Thinking back, did part 1 or 2 have any equivalent music for Jonathan or Joseph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utIO1It1nzY This is a cover of Giorno's Gold Experience theme but I couldn't find an upload of the original. Unlucky7 posted:
This was an issue for me early in part 3. I know the first few fights were just demonstrations but watching Magician's Red vs Silver Chariot seemed like a boring pokemon battle were the stand users just kind of stood there and announced their attacks. Ebony Devil was the turning point for me where stand battles were actually good.

Expect My Mom posted:this was josephs MonsieurChoc posted:Also Overdrive. And Welcome to the World. Yeah that’s what I thought. I think the lack of a central motif made the music in part 2 less memorable. The one theme that stays with me the most is “awaken” the pillar men’s theme. I love Bloody Stream though and like Fighting Gold too, but it does seem a little out of place as the first OP of the part. The overall tone suggests an OP used when the hero is about to encounter the main antagonist. (eg. “end of the world” and “chase”)

Darth Walrus posted:While I'm an anime-first JoJo experiencer, so I haven't seen the relevant manga chapter, I definitely feel like this episode in particular was enhanced by the addition of sound, colour, and motion. The whole episode had a fairytale vibe, with the meeting with Polpo in particular feeling like Giorno was petitioning some strange and terrible ogre for passage into fairyland. Like if Miyazaki directed Silence of the Lambs

I thought the banana trick was really well executed bit of storytelling. If something like that had happened in part 2 or 3, the audience would have no clue what was going on until after the fact when the protagonist explained it. All of the setup would have happened "off camera". In part 5, everything is foreshadowed (literal Chekhov's gun in Polpo's cell) without explicitly giving away what happened when Giorno reached into the cell. And of course Polpo's speech providing Giorno the justification to, uh, 'defeat him using his own logic'. I haven't read the manga, does it play out the same way there?

Thumbtacks posted:i love that every punchtime music sounds similar but different, it's a nice touch It's hard to pick a favorite but I love the first one in Stardust Crusaders. It's got that surf rock guitar tone and is overall reminiscent of various 60s styles, like the "spy jazz" popularized in film and television soundtracks. And then in the middle they add a dubstep style drop and it doesn't ruin the song! I mean on paper it sounds really dumb but it's just the right amount to work. You know what'd be cool would be an Ennio Morricone spaghetti western stand theme.

Sockser posted:Huh, I've always pronounced Narancia with four syllables and now I gotta adjust to three A soft C in Italian makes a '"ch" sound. When C is followed by an A, O, or U, it's a hard C, which is a "k" sound. When the C is followed by an I or an E, it's a soft "ch" sound. When you want a soft "ch" sound followed by A, O, or U, you write an I after the C and before the other vowel as indication that the C is soft. So the syllable "cia" is pronounced "cha." If you want a hard "k" sound followed by E or I, you write an H after the C and before the other vowel to indicate a hard C. So the syllable "che" is pronounced "ke." The same principle applies to hard and soft G sounds, which are 'g' and 'j' respectively. That's why "Giorno" only has two syllables and "spaghetti" has an H in it.

JahRoo posted:Just finished the first 4 parts, and caught up with part 5 so far. No strong opinions about 5 yet, but 4 had me absolutely glued to the screen in a way that 3 was never able to. I saw Shigechi's death scene before I started watching the series. I'd never watched the anime or read the manga and only had a cursory knowledge of Jojo's and I assumed he was some kind of magical non-human creature and the explosion wouldn't kill or permanently injure him. Hobgoblin2099 posted:I'm curious if, had Giorno fought Sale instead of Mista, could Kraftwerk have fixed Gold Experience's punches in place. Isn't that just plain old fashioned good writing though? I mean putting a character in a situation uniquely unsuited to them.

Mel Mudkiper posted:I mean, Jojo IS wacky random bullshit but its not bad wacky random bullshit. Jojo is weird, sometimes wacky, and obviously bizarre, but that's not the same as being "random". "Random" means happening by chance or in some arbitrary way, like using a dart board, as Johnny Joestar (the poster) mentioned. Just because Araki doesn't plan things years in advance and sometimes changes things doesn't mean there's not a reason behind his decisions. quote:The genius of jojo is not that he just randomly makes stuff up, its that hes created a narrative reality which allows the reader to immediately buy into seemingly outlandish events. Expect My Mom posted:what makes JoJo work is that no one is looking at the camera and winking, or commenting on how weird this all is, that this is such a bizarre situation that they've found themselves in. Everything is presented with the gravest possible tone, and we're expected (and we do) to act with dread when the salaryman with a skull tie and his giant pink cat robot start shooting invisible air bubbles out of the cat plant in it's tummy. This is probably my favorite thing about Jojo overall. Even obvious jokes, like this one work so well because of the dryness of the delivery.  Mel Mudkiper posted:EDIT: Also I swear to god if someone starts getting all condescending about how hamoan in part 2 makes perfect sense I am gonna scream I'm not saying there's hard and fast rules but generally using the ripple involves some kind of energy transfer or manipulates surface tension. It's not completely arbitrary.

Would D'arby the Gambler be a good episode to show someone who has never watched the series? Even though the stands are mostly ancillary to the action I think it's one of the purest distillations of Jojo's story dynamics.

sirtommygunn posted:get tiny, get stand to throw you out of the car like a softball, dismiss stand then resummon stand in position to catch you, place yourself gently onto roof, dismiss stand. I don't think it was that complicated, he could have just grapped onto the doorframe before shrinking and climbed up to the roof as he got smaller. But anyway, this got me thinking about how a lot of stands don't seem to take full advantage of the fact that there's a separate entity (often depticted as a "punching ghost" or other object, like a tiny plane) that I'll refer to as the "avatar" of the stand, to differentiate it for the "power" or effect of the stand. It seems like early on Araki played around a lot with the fact that the stand power could manifest as an avatar outside of the user's body. Some part examples are Star Platinum bringing things into Jotaro's cell, Silver Chariot being on top of the bed while Polnareff was under it. (IMO this was the first good stand battle in the series since up to that point it seemed like they were constantly changing the rules or having things happen off-camera/off-panel that decided the outcome.) Or the time they shrunk their stand's to go inside Joseph's brain. There are also lots of ambiguous moments like Jotaro grabbing onto a ledge with Star Platinum and pulling himself up, Jotaro getting behind N'doul without being detected (did he sprint, jump?) and in the final battle between Jotaro and DIO it was often hard to tell where the stand avatar was in relation to the user. By part 4, stand ranges seemed to be more restrictive. I can only remember a few moments off hand where having a separate avatar was critical for Josuke or Kira in using their stands. Of course there's also stuff like Shigechi using harvest as a conveyer belt to climb up walls. In part 5 Gold Experience and Sticky fingers could both plausibly exist without a separate avatar. And I won't go into details, but there are stands in later parts that just stand or float near the user while their powers are active or they don't show an avatar at all for a stand power. Now I'm not saying that having a punching ghost separate from the user's body is a bad thing, it's what makes stands unique from most other superhuman abilities. I'm just saying that it doesn't seem like this fact is always used to it's full potential.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:Star Platinum punches hard and fast, is tanky, and can stop time. Crazy Diamond can also punch hard and fast, as well as fix things that aren't Josuke. The problem with Star Platinum was how it was too perfect and had no drawbacks. Araki even made up a few extra powers like star finger or that time he inhaled Justice. It got better later in part 3 and Araki did a good job of writing around Star Platinum being overpowered Crazy Diamond was the best stand so far from a narrative perspective. It had easy to understand rules and could do a wide variety of surprising things without completely breaking those rules. While it's still extremely powerful it never feels cheap, and Josuke not being able to heal himself provides an uncomplicated but meaningful drawback. I haven't read the manga so I don't have a complete picture of Gold Experience, but so far my problem with it is how vague its powers are. When you don't have enough knowledge to know what to expect, there's no expectations to subvert, so nothing is all that surprising or impressive as a result. When you don't have a sense of what it can't do, it takes the enjoyment out of seeing what it can do. And going back to the hamon comparison, I thought Joseph's rear end pull moments were handled better since the expectations were better established (Joseph is just a mortal human fighting immortal super beings) and his personality and attitude did a lot to sell things. In contrast Giorno is unnervingly polite and his feats seem less impressive by comparison since he's fighting other humans. I mean I still like part 5 it's just that with Gold Experience, when anything seems possible, nothing is surprising.
