I can see where you are coming from. Araki making differences in each installment of the series creates a fresh start and a new challenge to face from a writing perspective. Although I don't know what you mean by fans hating JoJos because they are different. I never heard of this being a thing, but if it is then where the hell are these guys coming from?

Also, I forgot to detail the fact that a few flaws in a character can bring them down. Take for instance, Jotaro. A lot of fans use the fact that he was a loner as a way to discredit him as a whole, which isn't completely true. Jotaro was just a new fresh idea to create an aggressive main character. Araki had challenges. In later parts, Jotaro is a lot more enjoyable to me because of his leader role bringing out the best in everyone. Josuke and Koichi specifically. He just sucks in his own part is all. The small flaws in a character do bring down their quality.

Saying that there isn't a good or bad JoJo is not very true. Other characters have flaws as a whole, like Speedwagon not doing much to the story and being a liability. Or take a lot of part 3's villians. They aren't fleshed out whatsoever. Villians in part 7 are great because they actually have quality to them; personality, backstory, motives, reasons for helping the bad side. This is the same thing for main JoJos. A lack of fleshed out qualities just doesn't result well. Josuke has a great personality and design, but a lack of interesting backstory. Honestly, the only JoJo I know that doesn't really lack is Johnny, he just is the full package. Great design, great backstory, interesting motives, the little things like Dark Determination and crippled legs.

This is in general just like the best villian. Dio and Kars just are lacking and practically the same, while Pucci and Funny Valentine actually have motives that drive them forward and selflessness. Hell, they are better than some of the main cast. Villians are like protagonists in that they should have motives and personalities that contrast in each other.
