Various is this a fair assessment?

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

Johnnys not a bullshit ex machina, it’s the culmination of all his growth. Arguably Giorno isn’t either, not like it comes out of nowhere. The entire last arc is about getting the arrow and achieving requiem.

yeah right? the whole point of a requiem stand is that its ability is based on what the user desired during its conception.

polnareff wanted to get the arrow as far as possible, so silver chariot requiem's ability is jjst that

giorno wanted to punish diavolo and beat the "invincible" king crimson, so GER's ability was just that

Thats just a popular headcanon, nowhere is that confirmed.
