I recently finished Stardust Crusaders and, although I liked it, I honestly couldn't understand the hype behind Dio...
Probably an hot take but I prefer Kars over Dio.
I think the problem was that I was expecting some godlike writing because of the hype jojo fans give him.
Anyways, I heard the next villains are very very good so can't wait! I'm in the beginning of part 4 and I'm loving it, has the potential to be the best part so far!!!

Yes he is a little bit overated. I prefer Kira over him.

No, he is peak as a villain. Powerful, charismatic, handsome, surrounded by strong allies (or I should rather say underlings).

In JoJo it's always about charisma. All villains radiate it like Chernobyl. The writing is secondary.

Dio is the least well written vilain in jojo. specially pre part 6 flash backs.

people love him for his charisma. its actually the exact same reason poeple love jotaro. he's just cool as shit.


Part 4-6 have the best written villains in the series though. so have fun.

Idk, but I certainly agree that he's a little overrated. Imo he's not even the best villain in all of JoJo's. Pucci is much better imo. I do love DIO's design though, and I definitely want to cosplay him eventually.

Dio is undoubtedly the most iconic JoJo villain but i wouldn't say he's the most well-written.

Maybe??? I think he's hilarious. What's not to love about an insane bisexual vampire.
Personally, Stardust Crusaders is one of my less favorite parts. But, DIO himself is great.

Diavolo is hella sexy tho.

I dont come to JoJo because of the writing, I come to have head empty popcorn fun. Irredeemable cartoon villains like Dio add to the enjoyment.

"Is Dio being an overrated villain a hot take?"

Not really.

I don't think so. He's kind of a joke and I like him for that but I can see why someone may not be into it.

Not really. Dio is just really fun to watch. It's his charisma that everyone like him. Not really because of writing. Any part after part 3 have way better well written villain than Dio.

Dio is peak villain, you'll see what I mean when you complete Part 6.

I liked what they did with Kira a bit cause his writing is good but in terms of charisma and the "grand scheme of things" Dio is better.
