So, I made the mistake of watching Cosmonaut's 'Opinion' on Jojo - He describes Jotaro Kujo as... "Cool and Edgy".

Uh...

This is kinda why I hate when people use the word edgy to describe a character, it's not a good descriptor.
"Polnareff is the funny coward"

... Well... You've never actually watched Polnareff, now have you?
... "But sometimes, you'll get the crazy murderer to become the funny coward - that's the only form of character development in Jojo's"

I seriously have to question if he actually did watch Part 3 (which is funny, because I binged it last night while editing)
"Character Arcs do not exist in this series"

... "Every single character is flat (referring to how characters develop)"
"If you don't like a series where characters are unceremoniously killed, Maybe Jojos isn't for you"

I can just feel the salt with this quote. As if Avdol's death was anywhere comparable with Joel's. Also... Most of the main cast in Jojo's is the same up until the end (P3)
Also, Avdol's death wasn't unceremonial - his death was to save Polnareff, I'm sorry that when in Dio's territory, where death was a possibility for the cast, that a character dies trying to save another

How dare a story ramp up tension and show that life can disappear in a snap
"Part 3 is when people start dropping like flies"

Again... Did you even watch the part? They're in DIO's house!

"A trend that continues throughout the series"

... Uh... Part 4? Like... There was about, three deaths of the main cast, and only one of those were permanent.
"A lot of the deaths in Jojo are for shock value"

...

I would like to point to you all, that this man defended Joel's death in TLOU2, a death that, by designed, was to shock the players and get them motivated for revenge.
"Most of the main cast's stands are boring"

"Jotaro's stand can punch really fast"

And catch bullets in mid air, can heighten his perception, has self-preservation abilities

"Polnareff's has a sword"

I forgot why I hate Cosmonaut, When he hates something, he's general as f*ck
"Abdul's stand can shoot fire"

And manipulate it at will, locate people via heat sources

"And Kakoyin's stand can throw rocks"

...

Like, yeah, the main heroes powers aren't overtly creative - But how they use them is the point.
While I'm not a huge fan of part 3 in comparison to other Jojo's (Although, there are obviously some great moments that I love and Part 3 has my favorite episodes in it), this is just standard fair from what I've seen from Cosmonaut.
If he doesn't like something, or an opinion, he'll use the limpest of reasons to justify why that something is bad, and will ignore points that go against him.

Also, his voice is bland as all hell - And I know that's ironic from me, but the guy sounds sleepy all the time.
