Stone Ocean´s finale is actually good. The fact Jojo fans suddenly lose the ability to read and comprehend when reading it is another thing. The message is that the Joestars aren´t condemned to fight DIO´s curse anymore. Pucci was deleted from history (no the reset didn´t erased Parts 1-5, SBR is something completely different) and everyone who was on the side of justice was favored by fate (even Ermes and Anasui, who had nothing to do with Pucci).And also, there was no point of continuing the original Jojoverse.

Part 1 ending was tragic. Part 2 was epic (mostly because of the anime). For me, SC had the worst ending because, while the fight was still on DIO´s favor, you knew that Jotaro got the time stop ability for plot armor. You knew that he would win and its at some point, anti-climatic. Part 4´s ending was not a final fight. It was about Kira trying to run away and scape from his sins but fails, dies and gets dragged by the Ghost Alley (the climax was in the Bites the Dust arc, where it deserved to be).

Part 5, while using a blatant Deus Ex-Machina, it has the Rolling Stones arc ending. That arc is simply, horrifying (in the sense it causes terror, obviously), which saves it. The fight of Johnny VS Valentine was very good in SBR, and while the "Diego´s World" arc was anti-climatic, it added a plot twist, in my opinion.
