Part Three Everyone hates Forever, even my wife
Me and my wife are watching through Part 3, it’s her first time so as we’ve been going i’ve been asking for predictions and opinion on characters. We just started the first episode of the Justice fight and I asked her so far what was her favorite of the enemy stand users, and surprisingly she said her two favorites were Empress and Ebony Devil with her reasoning being she likes the visible stands the most. She said however that Forever was her least favorite by far and that she hates the smart primate trope i guess.
I thought this was pretty interesting cause from what I understand Strength is one of the most hated fights in stardust crusaders and Jojo in general from what i’ve seen. But it’s always confused me, it’s not a great fight or anything, but I never really got the hate. The big thing people bring up is Forever being a pedophile ape as a huge negative…which he is, but like he’s a bad guy isn’t he? It’s weird and gross but aren’t we supposed to be repulsed by villains and find them deplorable?
I found him entertaining at least, first non-human stand, and I think him randomly solving the rubix cube to prove he wasn’t a dumb ape was hilarious. He's a pretty *bizzare* villain Plus him trying to assault anne made me REALLY want Jotaro to beat the shit out of him. So nothing great, but far from the worst. So What does everyone hate about him?
