Hobgoblin2099 posted:It's not really even that great of a fight when he's finally revealed. He just gets punched once and loses. If you think about it, pretty much every fight in Stand-era JoJo is just the protagonists working past the Enemy Stand User's bullshit to the point they can punch them in the face and win

Stairmaster posted:no, thats factually incorrect. Both kira and dio get the poo poo beaten out of them multiple times during their fights before actually going down They're both the main villains of their arc so they get some more twists and turns (though Kira still loses every single fistfight he's in and only ever escapes because of 'Fate'), but the win condition for pretty much every normal Stand battle is the protagonist getting in front of them curse-free and breaking their face

Yeah, I don't wanna be a killjoy but it seems a little cruel to hype VA up as the arc that only gets better as it goes on. VA: the highs are some of the highest in the series, the lows are, well, you'll see

The Emperor is also a support Stand who works best as someone's number two, so whilst they're staring each other down Mista can be shived by a ghost or whatever

Also he doesn't refer to himself in the first person or use the phrase 'hot poo poo'. Just a very tepid, if eventually accurate interpretation of the line

BaDandy posted:The JoJo series itself is an ever-increasing in intensity Galaxy Brain Meme and Giorno is perhaps the human incarnation of the Galaxy Brain meme, so I never understood the complaint that he's not like the other Joestars when his solutions are extremely JoJo. The difference is most JoJos are working with pretty limited toolsets and have to apply them very creatively to win, Giorno just goes 'I, uh, turned this bit of lint in my pocket into an animal which does something. I win now. Goodbye.'

If you want an action adventure with good writing (and absolutely incredible art) I'd strongly recommend Berserk. Also if you're an anime-only watcher you can easily skip to Part VII of the manga which is set in a new continuity and also the high point of the entire series.

Yeah, it likely just didn't do anything interesting until he died. The writing does imply its not a curse on him or anything though, he was just a really gross, malignant guy whose spite could only be actualised through his death.

Traitor's Requiem (the song) has been growing on me, but the OP itself really is a low point for the franchise. Nakedly spoiling the plot isn't a good substitute for cool visuals or symbolism!
