Jojo sucks because of it's stupid convoluted solutions to stuff, the MC is always OP, no character development at all, and it's just not interesting. FoTN does have character, heart, and soul, but most of the goons are just laughable.
that's really interesting, i always felt the convoluted solutions are what make the show so interesting. it's all about araki pushing the characters into a corner and seeing what forgeted up nonsense they figure out to get out. imo the part 3 anime has some pretty terrible pacing which makes it a little bit painful to slog through, but parts 4 and 5 i think really knocked it out of the park. i definitely get what you mean tho, the series doesn't tend to have very deep character development or progression, and it makes sense that'd make a lot of people enter snooze mode real fast
tbh my favorite part of jojo, and probably where a lot of the appeal is for others too, is just seeing all the different abilities araki comes up with and seeing how they get explored. the conflicts are really front-and-center and everything else takes a back seat. i think that's why so many people have fun just imagining stuff like what stands could exist and how existing stands could interact with others. most of the time, the rules are clearly defined and demonstrated, and that really lets your imagination run wild.
like, jolyne can turn into string and that's cool and all, she can do string stuff i guess, but then you see her do stuff like this:
and it's like "stuff i never even considered it could be used that way, amazing"
maybe that's why main characters also might appear overpowered. their actual abilities alone aren't outrageous in the grand scheme of things, it's just that they forgetin
know how to use them to turn most any situation in their favor, and they pretty much always win as a result (or get help from someone with a better-suited ability)
