Araki made a stand too strong in King Crimson so he had to make the most broken stand ever to get them out of that situation

Except he didn't. The entire idea of King Crimson was really just "What if The World, but the protagonist doesn't have the ability to move through frozen time?". And indeed, outside of that power, KC really doesn't have nearly the strength or speed that The World had, not to mention how Diavolo lacks the endurance, flight, and injury regeneration that Dio possessed as a vampire (even though Araki himself doesn't seem to realize that, since that's how Diavolo managed to recover from Nero's attack and kill Abbacchio as he escaped). And even if the Gangstars can't remember or think during skipped time, that doesn't mean they stop doing things during it.

Of course, then shonen starts getting shonen, and we get bullshit like "I removed half a second of time to avoid getting killed by Aerosmith's barrage", inconsistencies with whether KC can attack people during skipped time, and just all that good nonsense that's about making the villain as unbeatable as possible that you eventually realize that nothing going on has any kind of logic beyond that immediate narrative purpose. And even though there's tons of unique ways that Giorno and Gold Experience (which itself was walking that tightrope of being OP bullshit that just makes up rules on a dime to be utterly undefeatable in the most roundabout ways) could've fought and defeated Diavolo just like Josuke used in his final confrontation with Kira, we instead have to watch everyone scramble to grab an arrow off of a silver ghost that can turn peoples's Stands against them, which KC defeats by pulling further bullshit out of his ass, and then he gets defeated by Bruno pulling even MORE bullshit out of HIS ass, and then Giorno stabs himself and just automatically wins. The End, No Moral.
