One of the things I have a hard time with about early run JoJo is how politically weird Part 2 was. I definitely appreciate the "Homage to Indiana Jones" angle but I think Araki may not really have appreciated how fucked up the Axis were at the time.
As an aside, for any Tecmo fans, someone on Ninja Gaiden (AC)'s devteam was clearly a fan of early run JoJo. This came out right around when Battle Tendency was still being doled out.
I mean, hmmmmm the first thing the nazi Stroheim does is trick a young boy and slaughter his entire village and made him think it was his fault in order to revive an ancient vampire with their blood. American JoJo and Italian Zeppelli being buddy buddy with an unrepentant and enthusiastic SS Colonel is simply realistic to me.
You're right in that he softened Stroheim over the course of the manga to make him more relatable so you could root for him when he's trying to stop Kars with JoJo and then had him die valiantly in Stalingrad like some sort of hero

Isn't that JoJo the one who's a shithead womanizing racist too? He's kind of a bad person in general and his son and grandson both justifiably think he's a piece of shit in parts 3 and 4.

Yeah and I said American but actually he's British so it still makes just as much sense honestly
