By the time I was ten, I could shoot lasers out of my eyes and knock people down just by exhaling. Now I'm fourteen going on fifteen, and all of a sudden, I can fly. Am I just going to keep getting more and more powers, the older I get? When I'm eighteen, are bones going to start shooting out of my fists? When I'm twenty, is my body going to turn into electricity, and I'll just zap everything around me? Is it ever going to end? Am I even going to be able to control it, forever?"''

-> ''Star Finger is an ability from ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'' where, in order to get Jotaro out of danger, [[FightingSpirit Star Platinum]] is ''given'' the rather strange ability of extending his fingers and just... stabbing people from far away. The issue I have with this is that Jotaro's Star Platinum is a short-range, high-damage Stand, meaning Jotaro's problem he must overcome in his battles is how to close the distance between his opponent and deliver as much damage as possible, and to do this, he'll need to carefully observe and understand the abilities of his opponent, and exploit the weaknesses of those abilities, while they try and do the same to him. This is the kind of psychological, tactical battle that would come to define ''Manga/{{JoJo|sBizarreAdventure}}'', and how a series that is 95% [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys male models]] shooting ghosts at each other can stay so compelling; because it leads the viewer on this wild ride of moves, counter-moves, and counters to those counters, thereby creating a strong technical narrative that leads the viewer through fights. The problem with Star Finger is it allows Jotaro to cheat the short-range limitations of Star Platinum, bypassing the entire narrative of the fight, robbing the audience of that story.''
