JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012) Episode 18 Discussion

So JoJo is watching while all of this happens and Lisa Lisa is so useless that she can only cover herself from being seen naked, lol. And ACDC told what happened with the stone of Aja giving them a chance to act (which they didn't take advantage of, lol)? And in the first place, what retard leaves such an important stone on the table knowing perfectly well the abilities of the Pillar Men. And yeah, great that they were staying in Lisa Lisa's place for a long time instead of going after the stone right away (and simultaneously, i.e. every one of them, I would think it's more important than fighting with remains of ACDC which should pose no threat to such strong fighters as JoJo or Lisa Lisa).

I've also learned today that it's unthinkable that a life of all people on Earth could be more important than life of some Suzie... Seriously, I thought that at least JoJo would have the balls (especially since she's basically a stranger to him, I could understand his reluctance if it was his grandma but this is typical shounen bullshit that I would expect of One Piece of shit not JoJo) . And Lisa Lisa by this time could get changed if she was this shy even at such serious situation. Also the scene "Do it / I'll do it / No, I'll do it" was hilarious in a bad way. And JoJo's empathy for ACDC made me want to puke. Last but not least,, lol that they have a car with a wheel on the right side in Venice. And cyborgs in Switzerland...

Retarded episode. So far I've loved (or at least liked) every episode of JoJo, even though there were such stupidities as not destroying Pillar Men when they've had a chance (what was Speedwagon waiting for knowing what a mere mask can do) or not destroying the stone of Aja which was created by a human because of some retarded prophecy (which for all they know could be Pillar's men propaganda). All previous episodes were from 6/10-10/10 (from episode 10+ it was mostly 10s) but this one gets 1/10 from me.

The thing is Gormars, up until now JBA was surprisingly logical and in no earlier episode there were so many stupidities as in this one (not even close). Also, fights were awesome because JoJo was thinking rationally and logically but in this one not only him but also Lisa and Ceasar turned into retards (even though somehow until this moment they were very quick thinkers, especially Joseph).

Woah, that was a terrible episode, possibly the worst so far. The last episode was a let-down, but this one is just plain retarded.

The whole brain slug thing is stupid but w/e.
Caesar arriving at the mansion ages after Jojo when he departed earlier and was closer to begin with... He must have really took his sweet time for someone who had to "hurry and warn his master that the big bad guy was attacking", same for that indian guy except he didn't even bother showing up.
ACDC revealing where he hid the stone just cause he feels like it.
Lisa Lisa only clinging to her towel the whole time and being completely useless.
The blond still being alive after throwing half-pints of blood everywhere, although that is a common thing among battle series.
And finally the nazi still being alive somehow, when his body was blown apart with a grenade and nobody was around to even help him to begin with... I don't care so much that he is back, rather that for a series that doesn't hesitate to kill off multiple characters, his return felt gimicky as hell.

This episode was so terrible I had to pause every 3 minutes to vent in here...
Feel free to think I nitpick or that it deserves a free pass for stupidity just cause the title is Jojo, but details are what make or break a series, and this episode just broke it for me. Contrary to the previous episodes there was nothing subtle or self-conscious about this episode's ridiculousness, it was just a massive amount of plot conveniences strewn together half-assedly.

exactly what i thought. though, i do look at jojo as a comedy show. i can't take it seriously.

HapHazrD said:

Sure, but my brain can only take so much before saturating. I agree it should have a comedy tag, although most comedic elements fell flat to me. I already watched Part 3, where people say the series really picks up, and I found it worse that the first two. I assume Jojo is just not for me. The only reason I even watched it til the end, and probably will continue watching eventually, is for the memes, and also because I can watch it while eating since it's actually better not to focus too much on the show.
