you know they have Power Princess throwing down with Deadpool in the most recent issue, right?
I have no idea what's going on there

Thanos literally has jobbing built into his very being. Sure he'll kill a few supes, but in the end he always, always, always catches that L.
Who fucking knows. Pirates? Errol Flynn? Something like that.

No they need to be more stacked. Warlock becomes their new main mode of transportation.
That's not being a jobber. That's being a comic book villain. The villain always loses, no matter how powerful they are. Jobbing is losing to someone to make them look better or stronger, and Thanos doesn't do that too much from what I recall.

like I said, making a bunch of Gundams is pretty and all but it proves squat.
but they didn't that time, they didn't that one time. that ONE time. ONE. is that such a hard concept to comprehend????
seriously. they aren't perfect and Slade took advantage for that brief moment. that's it, that's all he did. he didn't win. like I said you Wally and Kyle stans are something else. complain that the old guard was boring yet want to make your guys infallible.
yo, don't knock the boots. those are cool.
she didn't even thaw out man! like Carbone in Goodfellas. that's wrong. I think Kyle was glad Alex was dead. too scared to break up with her, wanted to move to NY, she was cramping his style, didn't want her making money off his image.
Major Force comes in and did him a favor. weaksauce. Parallax took him in five minutes, it took Hal 10 years and the death of his city to come undone. greatest Green Lantern my butt. give him all the rings, won't make a difference.
Galactus on the other hand....

Thanos jobs a p fair amount. He was relegated to side bitch for a while when I still read comics so his job was to be all big and bad then the real villains popped out and muah hah hah'd it up.
I mean every group has a jobber in it except the Bat family (TILL THE RUINED MY BOY TIM). It's impossible to name the biggest one. Wolverine and Scott take turns being the resident jobbers. Johnny Storm, anybody that's the first guy to fight Doom when he comes back from retirement/turning/the dead.

I don't think Okuyasu has a single win throughout DIU, even though his stand is crazy powerful.

Speedwagon is my favorite JoJobber

Speedwagon isn't a jobber doe cause he gets in one fight and loses.
His job is to be the exposition machine.

As a Namor fan this pisses me off to no end.

terrible, but not as bad
there are not many Namor fans in this forum; the only one I ever met was myself
He deserved that shit, dude went around blowing up planets and shit with Thanos and his boys.

Yeah, he is an idiot. He has the power to erase space and he uses it to teleport. Give this stand to anyone else and they are unstoppable.
He did win once though. He beat up Red Hot Chilli Peppers when the Stand user was hiding, but his idiocy allowed them to escape.

Nice to meet you then, good ser.
Seriously, if you're going to kill off the first comic book anti-hero, at least don't let him go down like a chump against a chump. Let him go out against a worthy foe.
People gravitates towards characters with "personal problems", if you haven't noticed.

I didn't know Namor had fans.
He deserved it, but not by them. I wish it was BP who did it.

He was the only one with the balls to do the shit unlike hypocritical douches like Black Panther. Which is pretty in-character for Namor. ...But yeah, I have issues with Secret Wars.
dude's been around 70 years, odds are there are some. Small odds that they be
god damn it, not this shit again.
That's not what a jobber is though.

That Blank ant thing pretty much happened in DBZ, Majin buu turned himself into liquid and forcibly went down a guys throat until he exploded inside out. He tried it again on Vegito but, Vegito somehow withstood it and just started punching himself until Buu left his body.
Pretty much. As much as I love Araki, he has a nasty habit of underestimating Stands when he creates them, only realizing as he's going along that most battles become seriously warped if a certain someone is routinely fighting at full strength. It's the same reason why
Fugo made his exit halfway(ish) through Part V and Anasui got jobber duty in Part VI

namor hasnt been a "good guy" in a long ass time
people try to give him a pass on a lot of his fuckery, but he got what was long coming to him by a bunch of characters he didnt even know

I can't believe there's a real flesh and blood Namor fan posting here, I should take pics.

Exactly. A true magnificent bastard.
He got lucky with Okuyasu because he wrote him as the bumbling well meaning idiot, but either way this is kind of what I like about JoJo after they introduced the stands. 80% of them are pretty much broken, but they way they get defeated is so over the top is funny.
Even the less powerful ones are interesting, like Koichi's sound based stand or "Survivor"

I don't disagree, but in Okuyasu's case his idiocy is a built in character limiter. It's called out how strong he could be if he put his mind to it.

your man bitched out when he couldnt deal with the fire he created. went to doom who told him to kick rocks, then proceeded to try to play both sides. bp and the crew may not have had the stones to kill billions of people, but at least they werent bitchmade while postering like they were the brave ones
namor getting scrubbed by a bunch of unknowns that he didnt see coming is a fitting end

There literally isn't a more perfect way to end him. His arrogance ended him, again. His bullshit inability to own up to himself killed him, again.
Dude is stupid flawed and deserves to catch L's for it.

Isn't Gohan a jobber?
I'm torn. While I was strongly Pro-BP and Anti-Namor in the past, reading SW #9 and Squadron Supreme #1 before that, I'm just thinking "Did he really destroy that world?"
It's so confusing. And the fact that he got killed by a former Avenger and his head was kicked by a petty whiner is horrible.

Fugo situation did not go down like it did because Araki didn't know what to do with him. Araki said himself he planned to bring him back as a villain and have Giorno kill him, but he was bummed out and got cold feet, knowing the fans would be disappointed with all that.
I am dying, I am never thought about it like that before. But you so right
