What does /a/ think of this?
>>153424973
As long as he can nail the quirkiness of L im fine with it
The only real physical traits that matter with L are his eyes and posture
>>153424973
>L is a black character
I hate kirafags
>>153424973
Most of us weren't going to watch it anyway.
>>153424973
I'm just waiting for Dafoe as Ryuk.
>>153424973
Can the people in it actually act? If so, great.
>>153425157
t-this
>>153425070
And the fact that hes super pale....
As long as his performance is good enough to offset the MUH DIVERSITY that ruined the physical appearance
Finally it's out. Black dude gets outsmarted by the white dude and ends up dying. Death Note is fucking RACIST.
This is not, and never will be ok in tv/movies. L is 25% Russian/ European/ American/ and Japanese. He is literally snything BUT black.
/pol/ we need help.
>>153425331
Not if they go with the script of the movies.
>>153425346
>Russia, Europe and America have never had any sort of history with black genes
Fuck, I always forget.
>>153425373
No. You have forsaken /pol/ You reap what you sow, enjoy your diversity and feminism.
The entire cast has been race swapped.
Everyone who's supposed to be Asian is White.
Why, at this point do you decide to zero in on the one black race swap considering everything else?
>>153425346
>Americans and Europeans are never black
You are wrong
>>153425070
>>153425157
I can't speak for any of the other actors, but this guy playing L is a good actor and can definitely nail the quirkiness.
>>153425209
Pale doesnt mean white you dumb fuck
>>153424973
Holy shit he can nail it perfectly given what he did in atlanta
>>153424973
>L will eat watermelons instead of cakes
>"Watari, bring me some KFC"
>"I am, Beyoncè, jk I'mL, I just allways wanted to be Beyonce"
>"Will you promise to join me?here, I'll give you some nuggets"
>>153425513
I never said that
>>153425541
ebin simply ebin
>>153425484
Yeah, I can certainly think of a lot of ethnic Europeans that are black.
>>153425454
We're not talking about America as a whole faggot, we are talking about 1 person. And even if what you say is true, the one irrefutable fact from the source material is that L was not black.
Change the Major character from Ghost in The Shell and its white washing.
Change L into a black dude and it's progressive bold choice.
Really makes you think
>L
>a nigger
Classic hollywood keep this shit off /a/ thanks.
>>153425796
I don't know about you, but i've only seen people complain about both.
It's especially retarded in L's case however since literally everyone is race swapped anyway.
>>153425734
It's a pretty irrelevant fact though, L's character isn't defined by his whiteness. He could be played by a Mexican woman and function the exact same way
Just gonna post this here.
>>153425484
>black europeans
>black Japanese
>black russians
Nah ethnicities share a gene pool. One could be a Russian citizen and black but not ethnically Russian.
The only possible ethnicity for blacks in that list is American. And that would make him 1/4 black not 100% kangz
>>153425883
Protip: the one drop rule wasn't invented by black people
>>153424973
Why didn't they just cast Snoop Dogg as L?
>>153425873
>"L's character isn't defined by his whiteness"
The fact that he's white as a ghost says a lot about his character just by looking at him
>>153425969
Pro tip:
The one drop rule doesn't turn people into afro-americans
>>153425479
animes are white not asian
WE
>>153425984
Snoop wouldve outshined the rest of the cast man cmon
>>153426164
I know youre baiting but holy shit man get real
>>153425984
too high to outsmart anyone
>>153425873
>a charecteers outward appearance is an irrelevant fact
oh ok gee, then lets make don Quijote black, nick fury white, and super man asian. I understand what you are getting at, but a persons skin color is a part of who they are.
>>153426327
Now this is racist
>>153426423
Why is this racist? the problem isn't the skin color, but changing the skin color later on. I shouldve clarified
>>153426470
Fucking hell
>>153426327
>nick fury white
He was.
>>153425987
It says he doesn't spend a lot of time outdoors.
There are black shut-ins too.
>>153426199
WUZ
>>153426679
GINUS AN' SHIT
Why isn't anyone complaining about how Light is white? Why is L being black the thing that makes you made but not Light?
>>153426751
I didn't hear about that. I don't like that either. I don't see why they feel the need to change things around unless it adds anything
>>153426751
There are complaints, its the same complaint about having clearly asians characters be westerners. Same with Avatar.
>>153426896
Because it's meant to be an American adaption. It's not even set in Japan.
Japan has adapted American movies and changed the races and the setting before
Typical Hollywood.
>>153425647
Look up Alexandre Dumas on google image.
>>153424973
Doesn't matter, fuck off with those shitty adaptations. You're retarded if you expect anything good from them.
>>153425984
>smokes a blunt
>"dude holy shit lmao what if like you were kira"
>>153425881
L actually looks like L here though and he is 1/4 Asian anyway.
>>153427155
He was mixed.
>>153424973
I swear to god if he doesn't shoot hoops in that awkward squat
>>153424973

Worked for hamilton and turned the play from crap into a sold out for years masterpiece
Can't wait for foot washing scene
>>153429041
>Nigger literally gets down and washes whiteys feet before whitey murders him
I am unironically looking forward to this and applaud the decision.
>>153424973
IT´S A NEW WORLD BARACK
>>153424973
Im fine with it, actually im excited. Because they are taking a risk rather than doing another bland anime adaption. Japan already did a bunch of movies so i like that the American director is saying "fuck it" and actually going through with his personal vision for the movie. It will probably be better than that Ghost In The Shell movie i bet you.
>>153425987
Nope, you just love that little trait about him and turned it into the most important thing about L. A lot of weebs are not white and they spend a lot of time indoors so they look pale even if they are not the whitest people. Now, if L actor were a fat guy or women I would complain.
>>153429165
I am hype about Stanfield but at the same time afraid the script is not good enough to pull the best of him.
>>153425873
>He could be played by a Mexican woman and function the exact same way
..... Can it be a cute shy mexican women who is a tsundere. cause i be up for that shit.
>>153424973
WE WUZ DETECTIVES N SHIEEEEEEEET!
In all honesty I don't care Death Note isn't so good. They can do what the fuck they want with it.
>>153424973
>only liveaction film markets that turn profit from mainstream today are China and college graduate conglomerates
>China = White capeshit
>College grad conglomerates = Recast + Diversity™
>What does /a/ think of this?
Market of the times.
In twenty years the 2010s will look as stupid and mentally stunted as the 60s, as if everyone was off their face on something in the water supply.
Ghost in the Shell is showing we're in a wind-down, it might make it's money back but it's not going to age well at all.
Casting an aged Jew as an E. Asian? We're not in the 80s anymore, grandpa.
I'm completely impartial to Death Note, but it remains one of the most popular animes across a large demographic, meaning there will be more liveaction installments. They'll get it right in 2030 when one particular generation has finally fucking died and the other one will be mentally crippled from all the hormone replacement therapy.
