Cosmonaut's Fundamentally Flawed Video About Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
I've so wanted to tear into the Cosmonaut Variety Hour for so long... Time to actually do it, and to do it with Jojo Style.
Or not.

To answer a question: My favorite part of Jojo is Part 4 - Diamond is Unbreakable.
@Xander Vasquez As I haven't watched the full video to know exactly what portion you are responding to, I think you hit the nail on the head with what you presented.
Thats my favourite too
I love it when you're nice
@Taroen over here
Mine is Phantom Blood/Battle Tendency
well made, but he DID state it was his opinion and not fact
This video is entirely pointless and also extremely frustrating, I really don't know why I watched it lol. Go kick a football, I know I will
Cosmo is the type of person to look at three pages of a book, to then give a 1,000 word essay on how the author was on weed, not crack while writing.
Me sad as I love part 5 Alot. I do agree Giorno is one of the weaker Jojos tho.
Fucking destroyed him LMAO!!!
I wanna point out that he’s a VIworld channel focussed on entertainment so his reviews might be a little extreme and but I believe that’s for the entertainment value as he displays his opinions for comedic purposes in some cases. He’s trying to make a review while also making it entertaining. He may do that by leaving out details to further his points, so his strong entertaining display of opinions is justified.
"He’s trying to make a review while also making it entertaining. He may do that by leaving out details to further his points, so his strong entertaining display of opinions is justified." Guess what? You can be entertaining without lying to your audience - Even if it's for entertainment, it's still spreading misinformation - Something that's BAD, especially when you've got that level of influence.
I don’t think he needs a thesis or even proof to back his claims. He’s just saying his opinion on it and I felt like he was doing this for laughs more than anything. I don’t think his Jojo video was meant to be taken super seriously.
Cosmo: "I FUCKING HATE PART 5!" Shut the fuck up, Part. 5 is the reason why I even got into JoJo! Cosmo is basically just hating for the sake of clicks. I will never forgive him for watering down the importance of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, and now he talks about JoJo without even understanding it? What a clown
Kakyoin isn't a cardboard cutout, not more than any other character at least. if anything, that's what the fandom did to him.
I've seen people claim that Cosmonaut's video shouldn't be criticized because "it's just his opinion/ it's just a rant". The thing is if that opinion/rant is based on false information and misinterpretations, then it is subject to criticism like everything else. So no, Mangakamen and others has the right to criticize Cosmonaut's opinion/rant on Jojo's. Stating the video as an opinion/rant is not a good defense in it of itself.
I have to say it again, it's something that I ENTIRELY disagree with you on Part 5 and Giorno being bad and yet, I still agree that he made a fuck-up.
Good on you for actually finishing this video, I couldn’t bear to make it past him calling POLNAREFF a “funny coward,” and I’m so glad I didn’t because his Part 5 rant is psychotic. This guy just gets off on being “an EPIC CONTRARIAN!!!!”
Honestly can’t stand when people “review” jojo but it’s obvious they just sped read through the manga and then say araki “forgot” something when it just didn’t have any reason to come back🙄
Say it with me now: Bad faith criticism is the artistic equivalent of AIDS.
I mean I'm glad you didn't but the video could have ended when he admitted he [SPOILERS] Binged 15 years of manga in 2 months
You could just say "Giorno is Jesus" and end it there. That's why he's unlikable as a shounen hero, nobody wants Jesus as the main guy, they want Jesus as the cool bro going around on vacation with you. Are you telling me Buddha isn't the true main character of Saint Young Men?
What are you talking about? Can't you see how calm Fugo was when he stabbed Narancia with a fork? You can't get any more calm than that.
His video felt like he didn’t like jojo but didn’t know why
Basically ThatAnimeSnob's relations with anime in general after maybe 2012.
So far i only watched part 5 in anime form but i fucking loved it. The way it felt like a spin-off was a nice touch as well
13:47 My on pronounced SHING-get CHI
Another Nostalgic Critic Clone
I can't believe he called fugo "calm cool guy" it's almost like fugos whole character is about how he can't control his anger and has anger issues.
"I can't name a single character trait for Giorno" Well, he has a dream
So a little late, but I weirdly didn’t get into JoJo until I gave it a third shot. I tried watching it twice and didn’t like it those first two times (it was part 1 episode 1 if you wanted to know. Though that’s obvious cause it’s what everyone starts with. Unless you skipped part 1, which you shouldn’t). What drove me to watching it again was two things: Vargskelethor Joel and discovering Jolyne existed. Before getting back to watch it, I was like “okay. You seen the first episode of part 1 twice. Skip it the third time since you know what happens.” So I did and I grew to love the show. I’m on part 2 now, but I’m not one who cares about spoilers and I really love it all so far. I think what drove me away those first two times was the fact that I love dogs, and I cry every time I see one hurt or worse (but then again I love all animals). But honestly it’s worth watching. Cosmonaut makes it sound like he’s never seen it. I only seen up until the middle of Part 2, what few clips I seen, and the non-cannon Eyes of Heaven, and I know he’s wrong about the characters, especially my main man Speedwagon.
Part 7 (Steel Ball Run) is considered Hirohiko Araki's magnum opus. I wouldn't know, haven't read it, but Mr. Cosmonaut Variety Hour Man should probably give it a chance.
I have the exact same opinion as cosmo has abt jojo, and that’s fine
People hate gorno I love gorno he is Jonathan in dio's world
Calling mista Cowardly is so wrong I can't even believe it
The moment I watched one of his videos I knew the dude was a prick
@Random person no because hes overreacting and just searches for things to dislike (not only talking about his jojo vid)
Because he doesn’t like jojo?
Fugo is literally the worst one to call calm cool guy
This video perfectly describes my problems with cosmonaut. I feel like people aren't pointing out flaws in his arguments nearly enough.
> MadWorld reference Ok arguments aside this video is already based. 13/10 - Too Much Truth
If someone doesnt show evidence every single time they are simply dumb
Now that I think about it, I don't even think Polnareff showing up at the end of Part 5 was a Deus Ex, mainly because Polnareff showing up didn't even solve the main conflict, just add another goal and more casualties
He didnt watch or read Jojos, clearly. Kinda pathetic to have a strong opinion on something you dont know about ngl
I am just seeing more and more videos trash talking Cosmonaut. It is his opinion and many people asked about it. AND he obviously likes most of it, just not part 5.
@tobasaful Plus anyone who said Fugo is calm does not deserves to be defended.
@NinjaCowboy2000 He hates part 5 for apparently repeating character non existent stereotypes among the cast, not being able to read manga properly and a fanbase which really isn't that toxic. At worst Jojo fans spam memes everywhere. He's not even tryna push Jojo on him, his points are just nonsense. You're tryna paint this picture of Mangakamen as a rabid ahole when you're the dummy in all this. Stop defending shitty mispresentation behind "ItZ juSt HiZ OBINi0n" nonsense.
@MangaKamen And really you didn't trash talk, you wrote "Manga or not... your video still sucks dude."
@MangaKamen I watched the video 2 times. He liked part 1 and part 2. He was disappointed with part 3 and he loves part 4. And he hates part 5 for all of its flaws. You just are one of the annoying jjba fans that push the show on people.
"I am just seeing more and more videos trash talking Cosmonaut." Trash talking? So apparently pointing out how he's wrong about this stuff is now trash talking. Great to see it. "It is his opinion" So what? If someone gets something wrong and makes it public, people are allowed to respond. Cause ya know... That's the thing you're doing. "and many people asked about it. " After he publicly insulted the series on twitter and only did that video to piss people off. "AND he obviously likes most of it, just not part 5." ... Uh... did YOU watch his video? He only really likes part 4, and he outright admitted to disliking most of it. How about instead of blindly holding up his opinion, you watch what he actually says? Cause really? You're misrepresenting his opinion.
Cosmo seems to have two kinds of video genre. 1. A video with a shitty clickbait title and the contents of the video doesn't actually reflect the title as he tends to use the "it's an ok movie, but I don't get the love for it" and doesn't actually call it the worst. 2. A video like the JoJo video that has big "contrarian just to be contrarian" energy and us full of contradictions and terrible points. And they all come across like Cosmo doesn't actually give a shit and is just trying to tackle the most relevant pop culture topics for easy views or just go against what the majority thinks and just making up whatever he thinks will make him sound smarter than he actually is, like the infamous "no one likes Joel" video.Or he'll pretend to not understand what's going on in certain movies or shows he covers and acts like that's somehow not his fault for being unable to follow or understand said movie show.
As someone who rejected the idea of watching anime for years after watching jojo's simply because a friend thought i would enjoy it. It really was a good experience. I found part one a bit of a slog to get through i remember watching Joseph straizo fight i remember just bieng immediately hooked on Joseph's character because of the way he conducted himself in a fight and despite how dire a situation was he'd always have that charismatic but calculating attitude towards the fight. From that point forward i kept loving jojo's despite how over the top it all is.
I love how I feel that cosmo completely didn’t want to enjoy or didn’t actually watch the parts in my eyes constantly saying traits about characters that aren’t true btw I’m at 24:11 when he says Mista is the funny coward ?????? Mista is charming but he was extremely committed and brave fighting out of pure respect for butcharati if any thing in my eyes everyone in part 5 were constantly in dangerous situations and all having extremely compelling back stories like that’s so insane to me
I lost faith in this guy we he said luke skywalker a gary sue
Wash your mustache you disgusting man
I hate 1st Naruto,but Rock lee VS Gaara was fucking dope, i hate the way soul eater ends but i think Kid and Black star going all star mode was dope. Cinematography does not have to be as shitty as story, i think the fight between Bluenote and Gildarts is lackluster but Tenrou is my favorite arc.
My favorite part is 3 and it will possible be 6. Obviously Jotaro is my favorite Jojo. Umm I think I like part 5 overall more than 4 but I like Josuke more. It's just GioGio from part 5 never seemed like a true MC to me. It seemed more like Bruno was. He had more of a connection and honestly more of a presence than Giorno. Now this isn’t a jab against Giorno, it's actually a testament on how much I think the Part 5 groups fits together. It felt no member was more important than the other except for the "leader"(Mother) Bruno. I know part 4 was a bit similar in the aspect of sharing the spotlight but Josuke still felt more "involved" to me. I don't know too much about part 7 and 8 though (Giorno is the only love child of two dudes I ever saw. Giorno is like fanfic the character in a good way)
Idk about y’all but vento aureo is the best part I’ve seen yet before I get to part 7, the universal best part.
Giorno Giovanna had a dream. He said crack was wack and not for the children.
I love it
Take a shot every time Cosmonaut has a good take... It's been years since I've taken any shots... Please help
bruh his editing is so much better than urs tf u making fun of that for
Bruh Iggy's death made me cry the most out of any death in the series.
23:02 What a beautiful duwang
Cosmo is... annoying... BUT in his defence as someone who also doesn't like jojo I have been at the spear of the toxic community of the show. There was one point in my Art History : Comics and Animation where we had to watch an episode and when the instructor asked me specifically if I enjoyed it or not and to explain why I had the entire chat room blowing up calling me an idiot. These were adults in 200 level college courses attacking me IN CLASS. The community is kinda bad... that said all communities do this so it's not just JoJo... but no Cosmo isn't wrong he just makes it seem like other communities don't suck.
"Part 5 sucks" Yeah, no
I like cosmo, but yeah there were some definite flaws in his video
@Megalo [Creeptank030] lol
Some?
Why am I even here? I just watch the picture show...
First video I’ve ever seen of your definitely deserving of a subscribe great content 👍
Much appreciated
tbh i can understand cosmonaut's view on part 3. I was exhausted after finishing it too and dropped rest for like a year, but then i came back and it was really good decision from my side.
Also, Jotaro was 17 in part 3 so who wasn't like that at 17 plus after that he's had trauma making him shut off
Cosmo yelling "Why would you recommend JoJo as someone's first anime? That's a terrible idea!" is quite funny because he's kinda wrong. A VIworldr by the name of Queen Blaze watched the entire Jojo anime. To my knowledge, this was her first anime. She loved it so much she went on to read the manga. No one forced her to. She just saw some memes, got interested, people told her it was good, she decided to watch it, she liked it and became a fan. Jojo may not seem like the best gateway to anime but it's not a bad one.
Glad you tore this apart
How the fuck did I find myself subbed to this guy in high school. He’s so much more incoherent and incompetent than I remember. God help me if he shits on Jujutsu Kaisen next.
this is an amazing video
I lost interest in the series after Stardust Crusaders. I didn't hate part 4 I just wasn't a fan if the artstyle change in the anime and diminished stakes. Maybe I'll give the manga a try down the road and just ignore the anime.
tbh his jojo review actually made the most sense, I was waiting in part 5 for Giorno to get his moment and he never really got it, as a Jojo fan I can agree that part 4 really was the only part that got me fully hooked, finished it in 2 days while the others took me weeks.
"Fugo, calm cool guy" Fugo : * is the definition of anger issues *
Great video man!
The moment someone says that "you are brainwashed!" I instantly dismiss their opinion because they technically attempt to brainwash me as well.
As a cosmo fan and a jojo fan I gotta agree with this it was a shit rant
20:25 disagree completely. A long running manga like one piece is much more enjoyed binging by arcs then reading as it releases.
honestly i like captain midnight's video on marcus more it's way more kindly spoken even when marcus makes him annoyed even then this video is really good and accurate
Your editing is really annoying
Howso?
Uh... how?
Part 5, I think, have more character development and insights for Bruno's gang and most villain/antagonists, which kinda make Giorno's portion very few. edit some grammar
Cosmos criticism is basically just as bad as cinemasins.
Somebody's butthurt lol
Somebody’s butthurt lol (referring to “Dip master 69” whatever the fuck that means)
So giving criticism to someone's awful video misrepresenting a series and antagonizing a fanbase as unreasonable makes you butthurt? When the hell did we start having that mindset?
Making a valid argument isn't being "butthurt".
I'd like to point out the moment where he said that he had never seen the anime and had no incentive to watch it. I refuse to believe that he would make a 40 minute video on Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and have no incentive to watch at least PARTS of the clips that he used to edit his video, especially with how many different clips are used. As a video editor myself, I find that very unrealistic. Even if your main goal was to edit a video as fast as possible, how do you edit a video that long and not watch at least a couple minutes of the clips that you're working with?
I dont like jojo but cosmonaut is talking big shit and great video
I really hate it when people call GER a Deus Ex Machina. The entire fight with Diavolo, hell, the entire ENDING of part 5 is centered around the stand arrow. It is made incredibly clear that whoever gets the arrow gets a nearly unstoppable stand. Damn right Giorno wins automatically when he gets his hands on it, it's the crux of the battle.
cosmonaount had valid points and invalid points jojo fans can't accept that he had valid points and cosmonaunt fans can't accepts he had invalid points
@tobasaful no you couldn't argue those fake outs are meant to do anything your one of those people that just blindly sucks off jojo with out looking at and seeing its flaw's you just blindly pretend its amazing cus oh he does the muda muda there's a funny meme about that how could it have flaw's not saying jojo is bad what I'am saying is it has a lot of flaw's and most people are not willing to accept that cus oh I saw a funny meme of it its a 10/10 if you try to insult mojo the jojo fans will instantly just be like you don't understand
@PizzaDevil86 Yeah obviously Part 3 was lame in contrast to later part one denies that. Jojo fans constantly call Part 3 one of the worst parts but, you're obviously more focused to proving how Jojo fans hate opinions when Jojo fans actually do accept actual criticism. Part 5 having fake out deaths isn't criticism whatsoever. In the whole of Part 5 there are 3 fake out deaths. Plus one could argue those fake out deaths do mean something considering that Araki is known to kill off even his own main characters.
@Megalo [Creeptank030] goring si a bland mc the m's of part 3 have pretty lame power yes star platinum can do more then just punch but all he does 99 percent of the time is punch so does it rly matter if that's all he does most of the time again jojo stand can not admit that it has any problems and pretend its perfect in everyday also yeh mister has so many fake out deaths in part 5 that's another right one there a lot more but jojo refuse to accept any criticism.
@PizzaDevil86 okay, then. What were some of his valid criticism?
@barusu yes the 3 charecter types section was bullshit but aside from that he had a lot of valid pooints but people blindly shrug them off cus he dislikes jojo thats a sin
Luffy and Goku having no character development? Yeah, right.
He didn’t say “no character development.” Looks like you didn’t pay attention, but no surprise there.
2 minutes in and god you're so fucking whiny "why can he do this if I can't do this :((((("
To be honest, I think neither Cosmo's nor this video is perfect. I'm a fan of both Cosmo and Jojo, and while I agree that some things Cosmo said were weird, I still like what he said (i.e. Polnareff isn't a funny coward, but he's still really boring). I just feel that when you compare the two videos, Cosmo's is a 20 minute video that in a quick and snappy manner talks about why he doesn't like a lot of Jojo, it goes through very general ideas about the manga/anime and is because of that entertaining but in the process gets a lot of things wrong. This video however is a 43 minute video that doesn't really talk about why the maker disagrees with Cosmo and thinks Jojo is actually good. Instead it feels like an attack on Cosmo and his style of videos combined with trying to dismantle the facts he got wrong. Which is obviously not completely unwarranted, but I'm pretty disappointed that that's all this video was, especially considering how long the video is.
Waited too long to make dis
Who’s cosmonauts? Idk who that VIworldr is anyway he seems irrelevant so no shock he has garbage taste.
29:52 did cosmonaut really say dio was the best villian in jojo when kira yoshikage exsists?
@barusu well yea,but this was about 1-5
*AND FUNNY VALENTINE.*
Cosmonaut seems to have a habit of making an arse of himself.
Nice video 👍
Thanks for the visit
It’s a rant not a persuasive video if anything it’s for comedy
@MangaKamen fair enough enough I probably should of watched more of the review before putting it but still I watch, and I’m sure others do to, for his sense of humour than more his actual opinion
Oh yes, so funny... Ha ha ha...
I have never heard of either of you but did this cosmonaut guy even watch the show??? Polnereff and Speedwagon a funny coward?!?!?! What is he talking about? Edit: So did he really read or watch Jojo? There are things I don't like about Jojo, sure, but I have reasons to back it up. He just seems to pull it out of his ass.
Cosmonaut has been participating in his own self-destruction sequence for several years.
Giorno is ok... The worst JoJo is Jotaro 3. Jo2eph following it closely in my opinion.
"I couldn't name one thing that happened in part 6" okay pog, so you didn't actually read part six then like... you don't remember anything?? Not even, oh i dunno, THE ENTIRE FUCKING ENDING?? WHERE ARAKI DEADASS NULLIFIES THE ENTIRE SERIES??? AND RESETS THE UNIVERSE??? That didn't stand out to you as a pretty bold fucking move at all? Okay ig
Phantom blood is shit
The series has to start somewhere.
Highly disagree.
How dare you
Knowing Cosmonaut, when he said that everyone hated part 5, was probably because he came across that joke of "I don't know what King Crimson works" and thought it was legit. I really think that Cosmonaut has a similar skill I had as a kid. Where I would copy everything my teacher would put on the blackboard, but not pay attention to what I was copying so I could keep daydreaming. But his is with media.
I love how your editor just comes in to roast you randomly throughout the video hahaha
Lmao the part 5 dub sounds so lame haha
Homeboy comes across as a major hater about everything, so I personally didn't take offense to anything he said nor was I surprised he didn't like the series.
I mean- I don’t like giorno cuz his hair is fuckin stupid but ight
I 100 percent agree with your points as a cosmonaut fan myself he definitely needs to fix his research he does have some good points but has bad ones too
What are the good ones, then?
Cosmonaut: I didn't like the characters in part 3 but the final fight was good also Cosmonaut less than an hour later: WHY SHOULD I LIKE THE FIGHTS IN PART 5 IF I DON'T LIKE THE CHARACTERS!!
Why you would make a 40 minute video on a completely opinionated video is beyond me his video wasn’t made to persuade only to just give his opinion on this show it wasn’t a in-depth video critique or anything like that the video was just his feelings on a series this video you made just seems very pathetic it was well made but pathetic nonetheless
I even said it wasn’t your intent
I never said it wasn’t an opinionated video I just said it simply didn’t come off as a opinionated video
"your video did not come off opinionated" But it was. I gave my subjective opinion on it and did so because of my choice of Language.
I do agree with you somewhat while i do agree that opinions can be criticized your video did not come off opinionated at all it seemed much more like a rant/expose video which I’m not saying was your intent that’s just how it comes off to me atleast.
"his video wasn’t made to persuade only to just give his opinion" And this video is to give my opinion on his opinion. Cause guess what? Opinions can be criticized. Doesn't matter if it's an opinion, if there's something wrong with it, and it's put into the public like it was, people are allowed to respond to it. Much like how you're doing right now.
