Specifically, he predicted that Kars would say "Was this your plan all along?" Which is a very roundabout way of claiming credit without actually outright stating it.
Then he outright stated it just to piss him off.

In fairness... from what I hear, that is a legitimate way to look at Jonathan's and Dio's relationship.

Wrong angle, you're looking at Jotaro from below whereas you're seeing Joseph from straight ahead. Look:Mmmmm not seeing it.

Didn't mean for there to be a pic before the jotaro one.
Josuke's mom had working eyes though. The whole reason Diavolo could trick Buccatelli was because he couldn't see that it wasn't Trish.

I certainly am. Aizen was a terrible, awful, unholy fucking abomination of a Villain Sue from the start of Hueco Mundo onwards.
His power is bullshit. His motives are bullshit. He contributes almost nothing to the narrative.
But worst of all? There's no point where he feels like he's struggling. Nothing surprises him, nothing challenges him, nothing rocks his boat for even a fraction of a second. If the villain has no real emotional response to what's going on and casually lolnopes everything the rest of the cast does no matter how hard they've worked for it, then there's no real sense of tension or stakes because you never feel like the protagonists are making any headway or have any chance of victory other than authorial fiat.
A lot of things went wrong with Bleach, but Sousuke Aizen was one of the first and worst mistakes.

The spoiler had supposed - make belief, not serious, satirical, generally used to indicate that something is false - in it's title.
The content was a fan comic.
Hell, the comic itself literally says how Aizen's shtick makes no sense at all.

the way the spoiler title is structured has the "supposed" applying only to Aizen's "genius", and not the title as a whole.

The content was obviously a fan comic, but there are plenty of people who would use it as a serious summary of Aizen, which is annoying.

Yes; Supposed Genius.
It's a depiction of Aizen's (not actually) genius - Kubo making retarded shit and saying
BUT IT WAS I

Except that Aizen isn't actually that stupid, and- Y'know what, this isn't the thread for this.

I was happy to just leave it with the comic talking about how little sense Aizen makes.

But Aizen does make sense, which is why stuff like that annoys me. He has his share of silly stuff, but it's nowhere near the kind of thing in that comic- Ugh, shutting up.

Hey, Aizen had nothing on Jotaro's canonical bullshittery.

Like that cigarette smoke trick vs. Dark Blue Moon's wielder, or the magnet trick vs. DIO... THAT was worthy of Joseph.

When he had mind controlled THE NARRATOR (or whatever that was) in one of the chapters, I do think Kubo was writing him up to be more powerful just for the 'tension'.
I think he said in an interview that Aizen had mind controlled him or something stupid.

Aizen doesn't have mind control, last I checked. just really fantastic illusions.

Aizen is a seething hyperdense mass of plot convenience, power creep, and hamfisted authorial fiat. He's effectively omnipotent as long as Kubo's the one writing him.

Just let the derail end already. @EvaUnit01 only made that post to let us know that Star Platinum is not a thing that's going to happen for a while, there is no need to talk about any of the people he mentioned. Please, just stop.
If you're going to talk about anything, talk about the vote options. There's three of them at the moment, does anyone have something they'd like to add to them? Any other suggestions on actions taken? Any resources we've forgotten about?
