We’ve already seen a trailer for the live-action Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure movie. We’ve seen the outfits. We know what they look like. But what people really want to see are the Stands.

What is a Stand? Here’s the Jojo Wikia:
The Stand (スタンド Sutando?) is a supernatural power unique to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
A Stand is an entity psychically generated by its proprietor, generally referred to as a Stand User (スタンド使い Sutando Tsukai). It is viewed as a physical manifestation of the User’s fighting spirit. A Stand generally presents itself as a figure hovering near the user and possesses abilities beyond that of an ordinary human, which, depending on the Stand User, can be wielded for good or for evil.

They are a key part of Jojo lore. Yet, in the trailer, there aren’t any Stands.
See? No Stands!

What we do see is purple fog and screen text describing what kind of power it is. This has Jojo fans confused and concerned.
Trailer for the jojo movie: https://t.co/Jnloyn8bwa So I guess they’re just not gonna show stands at all.

I don’t trust live action JoJo whatsoever until I see a Stand in action

Howling at the idea of the JoJo live action movie having Stands be completely invisible the entire time.

May I ask why none of the Jojo movie trailers aren’t showing stands?

theyre not gonna show stands in the jojo live action bc only stand users can see stands & the audience arent stand users.
okay.

@NuckyAintSHIT And Jojo is great as an anime, but all the trailers have yet to show the CGI stands (which they will need and prob look cheap as fuck)

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable opens this August in Japan. No word yet on an international release. Or, you know, Stands.
