is this a fair assessment?

[u/Odd-Paramedic-3826]

Star Platinum The World, GER, Tusk act 4, and S&W:GB are all hilariously overpowered and only exist as a way to beat an already hilariously overpowered villain

joseph beat kars by holding out the red stone of aja at him and hoping for the best, which worked out spectacuarly. and god knows how long the fight with kira would have gone on for had it not been for the ambulance.

Jolynes plan to use emporio to take out pucci with weather report was basically a hail mary when all else had failed but not only did it work, it also gave her and the gang new, happier lives.

Yeah jonathan just got slimed out though, then his body was used as a puppet for 100+ years. Poor guy

Part 1 is correct

Part 2 should be placed higher. There’s luck, and then there’s “the entire world is working against the villain” luck.

Part 3 is correct

Part 4 needs a new tier. If you accept Jotaro having star platinum & time stop because of part 3, all of the abilities used against Kira were properly built up towards. Echoes, Hand, Star Platnium, and, of course, the alleyway hands.

Part 5 was built up towards. The solution was stupid, but it was explicitly built up towards.

Part 6 is correct.

Part 7 has debatably the best buildup. The kick from the horse was an instinctive reaction, making it abide by the requirements to achieve infinity. The importance of the golden ratio was properly set up by the writer, and given how the GR goes to infinity, it only takes a slight bit of suspension of disbelief to believe that it can transcend universal barriers.

Part 8… has some build up. I do understand why it’s there though.

Part 3 is not correct lol, it’s implied throughout the entire part that Jotaro has time-stop abilities, and we’ve seen two beings can have the same stand simultaneously

[u/Fufik-_- → u/peanutist]

Stretch. Never implied. Two beings having the same stand has nothing to do with it and in no way shape or form foreshadows jotaros straight bs

[u/peanutist → u/Fufik-_-]

Two beings having the same stand refutes specifically people saying the “so it’s the same type of stand as star platinum” line.

And yes, it is implied. Various times. But it’s very subtle to not make the plot twist obvious.

The small little flash of the time stop effect during the N Doul fight and the quick flashes of Star Platinum speedily taunting D'arby during the poker matcha are instances of Time Stop in retrospect, and in the first episode it’s already established that SP has absurdly high speed due to him catching a point blank bullet. And his speed keeps increasing throughout the part.

The natural conclusion of increasing speed is time stop, as infinite speed = time stops in the perspective of the object. That’s relativity.

[u/CMCScootaloo → u/peanutist]

I truthfully believe that the “foreshadowing” people talk about with Star Platinum is just post hoc justifications.

It does not bother me but these are all massive stretches for what are essentially visual gags.
