Every time I'm like wow maybe im wrong about jjk maybe it is good and I go back to read it, I'm disappointed

#krill livestream #'so then why are 90% of your art and projects jjk aus' i like the idea of it ok i was sold on the concept of math based abilities #but then like. the series is just. held together by mashmallows n spagheti #LIKE IS IT JUST ME i feel crazy im like the character motivations are all over the place imo i feel like. they just Do Things #why? they just Do. like from a writing perspective feels like gege is going well in order to go from here to here these characters have to #do xyz so therefore they will do it #itadoris motivation as a main character is so flimsy to me. and like considering gege is a big fan of dgm i think he's a bit inspired by #allen walker. the original painfully good hearted protag. nobody can do it like u king. but itadori failed at every step allen took #allen had a solid anchor a motivation when his parental figure died and its referenced again and again. whenever his world view shifts as #he's forced to adapt to his circunstanced #his truth of why he fight is questioned and the reader feels it. they too question where he finds the strength to continue n then the story #answers that question #and we are struck by how good he is. how much pain he is in and how fucked up everything is and yet. hes just wholeheartedly there still #itadori barely has a moment of onscreen reflection. hes like oh im sad and someones like ur sad bc u cant protect people therefore u must #get stronger and hes like yeah ur right this is no time to mope #my biggest gripe is with gojo and geto's development actually because like. i feel like gege didn't actually show how GOJO changed from #being cold and detached from humanity. apathetic and homicidal to like. somehow wanting to follow jujutsu tech's rules? #like you are telling me this kid who's bestie changed his entire world views. who once considered murdering an entire group of ppl and only #didn't bc bestie said it wasn't a good idea. who literally could beat one of the strongest dudes #decided to just. sit down and be like ok elders i guess my bestie is a criminal now #like gojo shouldve been like you killed an entire village because they were assholes? i told you sometimes ppl deserves to get beat! #i feel like geto killing his parents was thrown in just for shock factors imo and for satoru to be like wait whaaat but ur parents??? #even then im like gojo. low empathy interp. would probably be like i hate my parents too i kinda get it #you just don't. have enough. to pull a role reversal with them. there just isn't enough motivation for why Gojo would consider morality #especially the morality that jjtech valued. over his best friend. who was the one who gojo held onto that morality for in the first place
