Joel isn't Jupiter, he's Uranus
listen, I'll die on this hill.
Uranus is the planet of the skies, representing open air and wind. it's also the planet of flight, and generally swiftness. fast and furious, anyone?
in mythology, Uranus is not a deity but a Titan, a primordial being who is far more unrestrained than any god. Jupiter may be king of the gods, but Joel is not a leader - he's a force unto himself
the superpowers wildcard: Joel had the ability to triple jump and could not take fall damage. in essence: he could leap into the sky without fear, and fall without taking any damage. planet of flight.
the tilted axis: Joel is unhinged! so is Uranus! the planet has a 97.7 degree axis inclination
here's the thing about Jupiter, alright? Jupiter is a planet of strength, rulership, responsibility, and confidence. Joel has confidence, yes, sometimes edging into arrogance. but it's not consistent at all. he doubts his ability to win at multiple points during the series. yet he seizes his opportunities whenever he can. essentially: he goes where the wind blows
as a Titan, Uranus is very wrathful. so is Joel
the planet also represents eccentricity, rebellion, and upheaval. c'mon.
he didn't hesitate to turn on Grian at the end, either. if that's not an example of winds changing, idk what is
finally: the jokes. you know he'd make ALL the Uranus jokes. hell, the ladder podcast in LimLife where they mentioned Uranus - if you stand on it, do you fall in? Joel sure didn't
oh, also? this is the seventh life series. Uranus is the seventh planet.
