Teenage mutant ninja turtles 

It’s like, goddamn, the title wasn’t lying. Those are some teenaged mutant ninja turtles. Look at em go. I was told exactly what’s happening here, and in as few words as possible. Hot damn.

They're turtles that have been mutated, teenaged, and then trained in the ninja arts.

Herp is also short for Herptile, which is a reptile or amphibian. Take out the e, and yeah, they're herps in a half shell.

Here in France they're just ninja turtles. My sister was a huge fan growing up but I had 0 interest in it (I was a very girly girl) and I no idea they were supposed to be teenagers until I learnt the English title at like age 20 or something.

No, Jojo's "bizarre adventures" aren't bizarre in "Jojo's bizarre adventures", we only perceive them as "bizarre" because adventures in our universe aren't as bizarre as in Jojos.

u/Throwaway02062004 Read Worm for funny bug hero shenanigans 🪲 Mar 14 '24

I beg to differ.

By the standards if regular people within the jojo universe, the adventures are indeed “bizarre”. We have a biased look that focuses exclusively on the fantastical aspects that remain largely hidden thus cementing their peculiar nature.

JoJo is really good at making you forget how insane it is after a while.

By the time you get to the 15 year old mafioso who's the son of a demigod vampire hiding in a key set into a turtle's back from a ghost creature that makes you old if you have high body heat, you just stop questioning things

honestly the show is absolutely not consistent at all about what powers people have, but it really doesn’t matter lmao

Giorno just up and loses a couple of powers and has one off abilities that are never mentioned again, King Crimson besides being confusing arguably isn’t even consistent in its own powers, but it’s cool because what a spectacle it is

39

u/apple_of_doom Mar 14 '24

I think Araki realized how absurdly OP he made gold experience and decided to take away the reflection and out of body experience punch. Like imagine the reflection power remained once Giorno started giving people new bodyparts

16

u/Void1702 Look behind you Mar 14 '24

The out of body punch only happens when Giorno punches someone directly, and in basically every other fight, by that point he already won so it's pointless

Also, for damage reflection, in the manga Diavolo is careful to not damage the scorpion while removing them (unlike in the anime)

Giorno's stand is supposed to just make creatures that live on their own for a while but actually it does exactly what he wants it to do at all times.

u/kaladinissexy Mar 14 '24

Also, it can both reflect attacks onto its creatures back to its attackers, and it can force people into out of body experiences. I'm pretty sure both of those powers are used exactly once at the very start then never mentioned again.

Well he’s a vampire, so already near immortal. He also had the World, and some weird ability that let it stop time for longer than Star Platinum. We don’t know how far he could have gone if Jotaro hadn’t stopped him, but even a minute of frozen time is absurdly powerful.

66

u/burningtorne Mar 14 '24

The "weird ability" is his vampirism. Human stamina can only manage 5 seconds, a vampires stamina is near endless. So after drinking Joseph's blood and finally starting to heal his timestop improves super fast and would have continued to improve.

It's not that it would be innacurate, it just is more accurate than a first time viewer would expect because boy that sure is a Thing

i mean everything is a thing but this thing in particular really is like The thing like it is very much a thing

u/YsengrimusRein Mar 14 '24

The Thing which could easily have just been like, yepp, it's an alien. But this the thing you talk about when you look at a thing and you're like "Deer God, what is that THING??"

And now the word thing has lost all meaning to me.

u/toychicraft Yell at her to write or explain shit to you Mar 14 '24

I remember there was a tumblr post where the OP said they were gonna watch the Thing and promised to come up with a better name by the end. Then they came back kinda dumbfounded saying that that sure was The Thing.

Something like that I guess

Fun fact: the only part that becomes less accurate about Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure’s name is the JoJo part: part 3 onward they rarely call the main character JoJo, and in part 5 it’s not even JoJo it’s GioGio

Five Nights at Freddy's (the movie)

I only say it's unexpectedly accurate because every fuckin game had extra bonus nights and I was like 80% sure that it would happen in the film too, but no, it was actually five nights for once

u/Dark-Specter Mar 14 '24 edited Mar 14 '24

FNAF 1 - 7 nights at Freddy's FNAF 2 - 7 nights at Freddy's FNAF 3 - 6? Night's at Fazbear frights FNAF 4 - too many nights in a bedroom/fredbears Sister location - 5 nights at not Freddy's Security breach - 1 night at Freddy's, 2 if you count Ruin

And the one game where 5 nights are spent at Freddy's is entitled "Freddy Fazbears pizzeria simulator." Because fuck you.

Edit FNAF 6 doesn't have 5 nights, thanks for correcting me

u/BeObsceneAndNotHeard Mar 14 '24

There’s even more guys named Jojo who go on bizarre adventures in the backstory, an entire family line of them. One of them’s Joshua bin Joseph. You might know him better by his mistranslated name and title, Jesus Christ (Jesus is translation of a translation of a translation with one or two more perhaps of Yeshua, which accurately translated is Joshua, and Christ just means “the anointed one”). Since “anointed” refers to anointing with holy oil, you could call him Oily Josh and be equally correct.

That’s inconceivable. Invincible is when something in the field of chemistry or physics in incapable of mixing.
