sometimes i think about netflix adaptation of death note, i know that many people hate it but actually for me it wasn’t a disappointment. first time i saw it in 2019 ig i dont remember tbh and back then i didnt get deep into it and forgot abt it in like a week . then week ago we with my sister were painting some painting and were turning random films on background . i have been begging her to watch death note anime for years literally and then i remembered that we could watch a film.

sooo i rewatched it and actually it isn’t bad , if we watch on it from the perspective of it as an independent film . but in comparison with anime of course its mega unaccurate and even characters natures were far away from those in anime.

but the story is actually cool, yeah ngl its not the best but i really love this movie, especially the plot twist at the end. yeah i wish the cast was better but its ok until the movie is good . My personal favorite is light there bc he doesn’t act like he would in anime, he is choosing the lesser of two evils and actually care about the world where he unlike in anime doesn’t want to proclaim himself a new god (or not, i wasn’t watching it with full attention cuz i was painting okay) im gonna rewatch it and then i will write my full opinion about this movie

One of the big problems Netflix Death Note had, besides its many other problems, was that while if you had to set it in America a White Light might have been the right choice the big fumble of execution was them just making him have the vibes of the worlds most obvious school shooter.

Cause with OG Light while we know he is a fruit loop with a god complex and a magic murder book; To everyone else he is the model teen. Inteligent, conventionally attractive, good stable family, reasonably athletic but not brutish, and in his younger years manages to even date and idol. Like other parents should tell their kids to be more like Light. Part of the irony is while Light wants to be god of a new world he is very much protected by the privelege he has in the old one.

So yes if you set it in America I could see getting a white Light who is still a cops kid and like the foot ball star with a cheerleader girlfriend; Well ok Misa is a cheerleader in Netflix Deathnote but she is also made an obvious mass shooter type and also for some confusing reason treated like she is evilier than Light and in a way the real antagonist at the end. But for some reason they do this swerve and I dont know why. If I had to guess causw they either thought it made him more relatable? The writers really got stuck on a school shooter metaphor and crammed it? Or maybe they did it cause they really wanted the eviler than thy Misa element to ""work""?
