@Ibrahim07356319@ulqion Stardust Crusaders deserves its flowers for introducing Stands, but it is ENTIRELY too fucking long and in the context of the entire manga so far, personally it’s the least best imo
@alphabinkyy@TVU1969 as someone who’s irl friends with the guy, they 100% did producer magic w/ feeding lines and cutting conversations to fit the narrative they wanted to sell. the secret gf thing isn’t even true
@Serifimi@Chaikiro1 SCR is autonomous, but GER is not. giorno controls GER, and while yes he didn’t consciously make diavolo relive countless deaths, that doesn’t make him an autonomous stand like Black Sabbath, Sheer Heart Attack, or even say Hey Ya!
@Serifimi@Chaikiro1 spice girl is not autonomous—she’s introduced with trish using her abilities subconsciously/unknowingly, but then she’s a close-range power stand. trish can fight with her and wills her to make things soft
@Serifimi@Chaikiro1 his abilities (reflexes, speed, power) WERE the foreshadowing. plus, it’s not uncommon for stands to act unconsciously (StarP at the beginning of pt 3, Spice Girl, GE when Giorno was young, SF’s string in pt.6, etc)
@Serifimi@Chaikiro1 tbh star platinum having time stop isn’t that much of an asspull. crazy reflexes, fantastic eyesight, super fast/strong punches could all be explained by it seeing time move slower than other creatures. then in the final battle, it was unlocked time stop out of necessity
@transmogen @kazberryreborn true, but i think imogen naturally takes more of a main character (not derogatory) role bc of her DIRECT link with ruidus.
not to mention, fearne + orym have had previous screentime via EXU, and it seems like liam deliberately took a narrative backseat after vax + caleb
