How have people been calling Jojo weird and cringe? This is genuinely one of the best things I've ever watched and I'm 3 eps in how are people hating on this
If you haven’t read Dracula by Stoker, you might not know the odd importance of trains in the story. Trains and train schedules.
Folks taking trains back and forth. Dracula has been caught studying train schedules, and Mrs. Harker is out there memorizing it regularly as well even when in new places. It also has a pivotal role in a race against time in the end.
What’s the link between Dracula and Jojo? Vampires, man. What else.
Relevant quotes under the cut
“ The lamps were also lit in the study or library, and I found the Count lying on the sofa, reading, of all things in the world, an English Bradshaw’s Guide [a railway timetables and travel guide book]. “
Chapter 2
"You forget--or perhaps you do not know, though Jonathan does and so does Dr. Van Helsing--that I am the train fiend. At home in Exeter I always used to make up the time-tables, so as to be helpful to my husband. I found it so useful sometimes, that I always make a study of the time-tables now. I knew that if anything were to take us to Castle Dracula we should go by Galatz, or at any rate through Bucharest, so I learned the times very carefully. Unhappily there are not many to learn, as the only train to-morrow leaves as I say."
Chapter 25
Dario Brando did not want a kid . Like his failed business owner ass broke as hell in the slums of Victorian London. Mf the water is poison. People throwing all types of toxic waste on the mf streets. The drinking water got lead. You know his ass was a victim of child labor and probably had 5 other siblings, 6 of them didn’t make it to 13 years old. Rich mfs like George Joestar living in the mf countryside, not having to deal with shit. You know Dario was so mf mad when he found out he was having a kid, his wife like “yay my baby. I’m going to make him after God and Ronnie James Dio”. I’m sure Dio Brando wasn’t their first kid, unless because the man died at 53 so he had to have had Dio at 39-40 years old. Statically, it’s possible that Dio had a few older siblings who didn’t make it long or miscarried. Because mfs didn’t have birth control and didn’t have protection. Dio Brando only made it for as long as he did because he’s a hater and his destiny was to be the ultimate menace.
Maybe Dario also lost his own mother to his father’s vices and he was just a less advanced Dio. One thing about Dio is he was a mama’s boy. Dario got a tribute to his moms on his chest, he was a mama’s boy too
First Round of the entire tournament is between Dario Brando; known for being a terrible dad, having the most accurate british teeth in JoJo's, and dying by Dio VS Danny; known for being a good dog, saving Jonathan's life in the manga, and dying by Dio.
Dio Brando in the JoJo musical being haunted by his dead father, Dario, having a mental breakdowns is wild. This man needed so much therapy but he was born in Victorian Era London. This my favorite screenshot bc why tf they look like besties. Dio and Dario in the cut, that’s a scary sight
