Trailer's out yo
>takes place in America
>name is still Kira
Both L and Light look like shit.
>>154894587
God, Light looks like such a faggot. Only good thing will be Dafoe
>>154894841
well L got BLACKED so there wasn't much help for him.
Willem Dafoe as Ryuk will probably be the best part.
>>154894587
ZURA JA NAI
DELET THIS
Why is this a movie and not a show?
>>154895000
yeah itd be much better if it was adapted as a tv series with multiple seasons
so aside the death note and ryuuk how is this death note?
looks nothing alike
I don't care about L being a nigger
Light isn't meant to look like some ugly fuck boy
>>154895333
He looks like some fucking junkie
>>154895076
I heard Misa (her name is Mia now) is gonna be a youtube star since it's the closest thing to transpose "jpop idol" onto
>>154895333
L becoming black was not needed but could be expected. But why the fuck does it look like completely shitty ? Adapting DN is fucking easy just keep the story and just localize it in USA. Even that was too hard for them
>>154895076
They're doing an American version as in different plot
That is itself is interesting since we already bombarded with the shitty live actions from japan telling the same shit
Now the problem is they got the worst people on board as the two main guys
I catch you... Kira.
>>154895333
>>154895396
They should have at least made the L actor grow crazy hair. Would have made up for him being black.
>>154894587
The second japanese movie had a better ending than the manga/tv show. Had the tv show ended that way, it would have been a 10/10 for me.
>Black L dies in the first ten minutes ala Lind L Tailor
>is replaced by someone who actually looks like L
What would your reaction be?
What went soright?
>>154895507
You mean Last name ?
>>154895432
I read it in the voice of that pirate from captain phillips.
>Willem Dafoe as Ryuk
I thought that was just a joke. This is great.
>>154895508
Ok
>real L is a woman
What your reaction ?
>>154895553
>she's black, transgender and a muslim who is against ISIS
How do you respond?
I can't take someone who looks like that seriously when
>I'll be the god of the new world
Adam Wingard is absolutely fucking based and makes kino
this will be great
A shame Zac Efron was too old to play Light.
>>154895580
I would be really mad
>netflix original film
It fell that low, huh?
>>154895515
>>154895521
was the new one that came out last year any good?
>>154895517
>>154895568
You lot sucking off whitewashing crap, there are SEVEREAL japan live actions all subbed, what are you waiting for?
Now this movie besides ryuk could have did way better with the actors and light is the most shittiest one they chose
>>154895665
let's be honest they took too long to make thisthey should've just casted Zac Efron anyway.
>>154895508
I'd laugh my ass off.
But there's no way they're going to do that.
>hype up making one of the main characters black
>turn around and make it the criminal who was scheduled to be executed for heinous crimes black
The tears and butthurt would be great, but there's just no way.
>>154895580
>>she's black, transgender and a muslim who is against ISIS
>How do you respond?
I would say it is ingenious, because a transgender would have two names. And no one but a Deathgod would be able to know which one is official for the purpose of the Death Note.
They did worse than gits
They didn't even pull in someone known
Literal who that looks nothing alike
>>154895432
I wonder if black L speaks ebonics? That'd limit Kira's search to all African Americans quickly.
>>154895000
It's a movie?
I always thought it was gonna be a show.
>>154895795
>They didn't even pull in someone known
Willem Dafoe
>>154895580
i would be happy because there'd finally be a progressive role model in Death Note too.
>>154895795
>They didn't even pull in someone known
>Willem Dafoe
>>154895735
unfortunately only Japs know how to write good homosexual/transgender/futanari characters
>>154895832
I'm gonna watch it just for him t b q.h.
>>154894587
>Light is an ugly Jew
>N is a fucking nigge- oh wait..
Seriously fuck American media.
Looks like shit. Hollywood needs to stay from anime.
>>154895832
Who?
Light doesn't seem like a smart guy.
>>154895795
They're banking on brand popularity and hoping to keep costs down with cheap actors.
And Dafoe is Ryuk, so at least they got making Ryuk the best character right.
>>154894587
>gaijin trash
They should put this ending in. Anime didn't.
>>154895832
>>154895861
I mean for Light or L
Netflix has money how can they not get known people for characters that people will only watch this shit for?
>>154895913
What did it mean?
>>154895960
Light actually became a god.
>I like to pee on ants and watch them swim around in it. I sometimes wonder what they think of the mysterious yellow rain. They panic at first, mandibles flailing, running into each other, trying to escape the warm, bitter stream, but eventually the come to accept it, maybe even enjoy it. Really puts things into perspective. So Light, if you ever find yourself in doubt, just find an ant hill, and pee on it. You'll thank me later.
I'm not sure if I like this rendition of Ryuk.
>>154895960
It was about how Light had become a real God to people so even though he died, his influence would be felt forever.
>>154895948
They also missed an opportunity by not casting bryan cranston as Lights dad.
>>154895948
Has Efron ever been in a decent movie?
>>154894587
>niggers
why americans are so cucked like this jesus christ
Mite be decent.
Wait, it's a Netflix movie? Confirmed even worse than Pork in the Shell.
I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing but shit like this and gits will perpetuate the belief that anime is shit by normies for another 20 years
>>154895735
This got a kek out of me.
>>154896030
Life isn't fair.
>based on the international phenomenon
It's like they know that the word 'anime' is an instant turn off to most of the western world.
>>154895531
Look at me, Kira! I am the detective now.
>>154895515
the ending
>>154894587
>International phenomenon
Transparent
>>154895665
>sucking off whitewashing crap
Did you even read my post? Are you retarded? Do you think I don't know the movies with Tatsuya Fujiwara exist?
Speaking of Fujiwara, as an aside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PkY7CF3Tg4 based on his Kaiji rendition
>>154896094
shall we begin, /a/?
The director did You're Next which I enjoyed. Unfortunately he had an attitude of shoving as much tits and gore as he could into this. It's not going to be Death Note.
>Let's show him...that the good guys always win.
All the live actions of death note were terrible and horrible acted, why do they still keep making these?
>live action
Into the trash
>>154896030
Look at the cast. This is a budget movie on par with Amazon and Hulu originals.
>>154896030
Bryan Cranston can't be in every piece of media yet... We still gotta perfect the cloning process.
>>154896158
Well duh
Its not going to be same plot
Literally just took the characters and premise.
Doesnt netflix make decent movies though?
I hope they do right with it, Ghost in shell looks decent, then maybe we'll get more high production ones made.
>>154896138
Gotta say, Ryuuk might actually be pretty cool. Looks like they kept the original design but are going for a more spoopy vibe.
Looks like westernized shit, no thanks.
>>154896272
>maybe we'll get more high production ones made
Don't even hint at that. Hollywood needs to keep its paws off of anime.
>>154896235
They should have at least got some of those actors, who take every role they are offered, like Michael Madsen or Samuel L. Jackson.
>>154896272
what that's like saying 20th century fox makes good films. No, that doesn't work that like that. They only distribute the movie dummy
>>154894587
This is going to be so shitty dude.
The characters look terrible, but idk we'll see I guess.
>>154896420
oh yeah
>>154895642
No, mexifag here, it was released in Mexico for some reason, but the movie its really shitty, here is a quick rundown:In the future a NEW rule for the Death Note appears, only 7 death notes are allowed in the human worldshinigami king is bored and dying so he orders the other shinigami to give their death notes to humans and the one who's owner is the best will be the new shinigami king (this shit goes nowhere so its pointless to get into it)Many Kira imitators are around but one claims that he can return kira to life but is just bullshit, the creepy guy in the trailers is L's son, and wants to get the new Kira, he is also in love with a shinigami who as you might expect, dies trying to save himThe MC is an investigator who in the end is revealed to be just another Kira who wiped his own memory in order to get into possession of the 7 death notes, because if he owns the 7, any other death note that falls into human hands will be useless because of the new ruleFor some reason Light ALSO has a child who gets killed because he was too edgy and evil, shit was hilariously bad, also Misa does nothing relevant to the movieIn the end, the investigator is taken to jail but somehow L is such a bigshot that he can take Kira's place in the prison and rename Kira to be the new L AND Kira to catch brand new death note users, L kills himself and the movie ends
Its a hilarious shitfest
>>154895517
>Whitewashing
Yeah because L looks so white, and besides the whole cast is shit except Dafoe.
Sad because American DN could actually work and they fucked it up.
Now if Japan would take a couple notes and learn that their 3D adaptations don't need to have 1:1 designs for characters.
>>154895508
That'd be interesting so we don't see that "L" again, jesus what even is this shit seriously..
>>154896473
you should be worried about the director, not the distributor
and the movie was on a fine track until blair witch happened which makes wingard look not so trustworthy anymore
>>154895382
>a youtube star
This is going to age so bad. I'm not even pesimistic about the project, I hope it's good, but it'll age like milk.
Are they going to keep any of the original plot? It'd be funny ifNiggL dies and two white kids save the day.
>>154894587
>looks like an absolute garbage
Can't say I'm surprised
>>154896485
Is this real or are you trolling us with a Mirai Nikki rundown?
>>154894587
You know, I can almost, almost, somewhat forgive L being a nigger
But Light is supposed to be attractive, it's a fucking plot point, you can't get an ugly as death kike for the part
Fuck this bullshit
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT N AND LIGHT LOOKS LIKE THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THEY CAN ACT. I'D RATHER HAVE A CAST THAT LOOKS NOTHING IN THE ANIME BUT AT LEAST THEY CAN ACT GOOD. I'M SO FUCKING HYPED.
>>154896532
they don't even try with their live action. it's like watching random cosplayers reading a script
>>154896532
Generally speaking, they don't.
>>154895832
Really? Nice, might pirate it.
>>154895601
True, I fucking hate "Light"'s face already. When he'll say it, it'll just look / sound cringy
>>154896575
True, plus the fact that we don't know what they see / think when talking about "Youtube star"
>>154896649
>Light is supposed to be attractive
Yup, how is he gonna seduce all the girls with this fucking face ? Seriously look at the fucking dude.
>>154894587
Light is supposed to be unironically perfect in terms of looks, personality, and brains to make him a less likely suspect for being kira
this one gives me instead the vibe of a high school loser getting his first machine gun about to go on his school shooting
also it looks like people might commit suicde instead of coincidental accidents happen to kill them, I kinda wish if they just write a name with no details of how they died that it would just be heart failure or heart attack, something about the suicide makes it kinda dumb
like "the book made me do it" sounds kinda dumb to me
>>154894587
So is sao going to be of similar tier?
Fuccc
Is copy pasting old stories and making them worse the only thing Hollywood can do any more?
>>154896058
Good then
Posting superior Live Action
>>154896824
It's either going to be a video blogger, a lets player, or a cosplay girl. Either way, their fake channel will be awful.
>>154896898
Except no one gives a shit about SAO.
The difference between SAO & Death Note is that Death Note is a fucking masterpiece that is getting ruinned by these cunts trying to juice it even more by making garbage movie / series.
>>154896955
Wait, is this real?
>>154894587
Holy shit I wasn't ever that much into Death Note and I feel extremely offended.
This shit is disgusting.
How many adaptations have they made of Death Note? Feels like there's a new one every year
>>154896991
Real
Looking great actually
>>154895382
>that Light
More like "Drug Note".
>The human whose name is written in this note shall recieve a hallucination
>If the contents of hallucination or drug name is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen
>>154896955
Holy shit tell me it's real
>>154896982
>Except no one gives a shit about SAO.
M/a/stertastes don't. Fuck load of people do
>>154896967
That's what I'm saying, this shit is gonna be garbage. I garantee it.
>>154896955
Don't tell me we're gonna see honey Kondo?
>>154895076
there's already a jap series and movie, what's the problem with something a little different?
>>154896955
Kek, is this going to be in the movie?
>>154897053
>Looking great actually
I know nip faces are a problem with live-action adaptations, but I can forgive that.
I'm glad they stay true to the character designs, just like in theAce Attorney Movie
>>154896634
It's real m8, sounds awful doesn't it?
It seem they took the plot of Platinum End (which is pretty much Mirai Nikki) and made a Death Note movie out of it.
AlsoWhen its revealed Light has a son is the most cringe worthy scene in the movie, they show us this little japanese kid who is evil and has this evil grin, but for some reason out of nowhere he and his mom gets killed for no reason, also its never explained who the mother was, just some random slut it seems
>>154897053
Wait, that looks nice... is there a new teaser or just pics?
>>154895382
Light was supposed to be the best looking guy in school with constant female attention, why does he look like a narco with that weird blonde hair? Why isnt he brown haired?
What are the action sequences, its mostly light sitting down, and detectives sitting down and looking at papers/monitors.
Can't wait for more garbage american adaptations of TTGL and Code Geass in 2 years.
>>154897142
Just pics
>>154895434
Fuck no, crazy hair looks terrible in live action. Im happy with the changes
>>154895396
Why would you want that? So just another straight up adaptation, that's boring.
Ideally, GITS and Death Note suck so much shit and occur so close to each other that people realize that live action, anime, and America should never mix.
>>154896955
Way easier to adapt, its a comedy so it's easier to play off crazy anime things that don't translate well.
>>154897142
>>154897209
Fuck, it scares me how good it looks. I hope the script and the acting are at the same level.
>>154897187
>the show your waifu's in will eventually be butchered by Hollywood in your lifetime
Just end me now.
>>154897187
>mecha adaptations
>EVER happening
too expensive idiot, pacific rim is all you'll ever get
>>154897040
2 movies+2 sequel, and a TV series, I guess?
>>154897253
GITS is gonna suck dick but i have a feeling Death Note is gonna be a major success. The director seems to have made it his own
>>154897280
That's why Holo is best girl
>>154897187
Code Geass
>LeoLuch is an exiled mulatto because Charles got cucked by a nig, and he ends up leading his fellow nigs to freedom while on the path to reclaiming his rightful throne as KANG
>nips would be replaced with nigs
>Suzaku is on Jerome
>Kallen is called Kallen in school but thats her slave name
>calls herself K-nisha
>Suzaku is portrayed as an uncle tom until LeoLuch shows him the light
>and then aggots will still bitch about whitewashing
The only series I could see America do fair justice are OPM and BNHA because of the whole superhero trope.
Let the Russo brothers be in charge and u get both series to be Logan Level.
>>154895515
The live-action Death Note trilogy was so good. The fact that...
... do I spoiler this? Ah, what the hell, just in case.... L survives the second movie... for a little while longer anyhow... and goes on to be in his own spinoff for the final movie was the best. Felt almost like a Doctor Who episode only without aliens. Yeah, L was still gonna die but it was a better sendoff than in the manga/anime.
Yeah, I said it. Fight me.
>>154897392
That's still 2 series too many for burgers to butcher.
>>154897187
They could never do Code Geass, its take on race and nationalism aren't what the higher-ups in Hollywood want people to see.
That trailer had a lot of action for a show that mostly involves people sitting quietly inner mono-logging in their bedrooms.
>>154897209
Shit, look at that sexyelizabeth
>>154895515
Why do people here keep meme'ing this was good? These fucks couldn't act for shit
>>154896532
Not having the same looking peoplw doesn't mean they can't try or that they should just replace them with someonw that looks completely fucking different.
>>154897519
Nips in general can't camera act for shit.
>>154897487
There was a lot of actiom from the police side of things and when during the helicopter chase scene right before Light got his memory back
Should have got the dexterfag to be light and the nigger from that show be L
Would have ironically been funny
>>154896675
That's still no excuse, it's a movie, you can make them look like whatever you want. I know it was a comedy, but look at what Tropic Thunder did with Robert Downey Jr.
Garbage anime gets a shitty movie and somehow people are surprised.
>>154897487
DN needs to be adapted by David Fincher. Sociopaths talking about sociopathic things is right up his alley.
>that ryuk tease
perfection
Now will this be worse than GitS or no?
that is the question
>>154897578
Aye but that was like one episode, also Mello was pretty cool for rocket launching trick.
>>154897448
Get Ryan Reynolds to play Saitama, he is the perfect fit. His deadpool personality matches him.
AllMight would look great in CGI, the same CGI level as was used for Colossus in Deadpool.
>>154897677
I'd like Fincher made a proper Hitman movie.
>>154896485
well, Death Note is a nihilistic edgefest so it's to be expected that anyone that follows up on it has zero creativity
>>154897746
>Drug Note vs. Pork in the Shell
DN has a horror director, so that's something at least
>>154897749
There was also that time misa was killing randoms and hella police was rushing out
>>154897812
Have you seen one punch man?
>>154894587
>Netflix's Devilman looks awesome
>Netflix's Death Note looks like shit
>>154897812
>Reynolds as Saitama
Fuck no.
>>154897862
>pork in the shell
>>154897874
Yes, Reynolds could get the OPM gags involving Saitama better than in the anime and manga.
>>154895807
How'd you get out of /pol/?
>>154897990
they just need some nobody who can barely act
>>154897996
go back to tumblr faggot
>>154895807
like 99% it'll be a british accent
Wait, I'm confused.
Will people complaining about >muh whitewashing complain about L being black? Or is being blacked better than being whitewashed?
>>154896982
>that Death Note is a fucking masterpiece
wut
>>154897996
Didn't know mentioning ebonics was politically incorrect now. I'd better check my privilege too while I'm at it.
>>154897996
What is "/pol/" about that post? First day on 4chan, nigger?
give it a rest, holy shit
>>154896340
>Samuel L. Jackson.
>L.
Perfect casting.
>>154898039
I guess the latter. Probably because of the abundance of white people in roles. Of course, Hollywood's been putting a bunch of black people as well, but people focus more on the white stuff. Personally I'd like to see more Asian actors for once, but I guess they haven't been vocal enough against that.
Either way, the real issue is American culture in Japanese plots. Not a whole lot of crossover.
>>154897996
Fuck off out of here normie to tumblr you go
>>154894587
Edgy af
>>154898050
Are you implying that Death Note the anime isn't a masterpiece ?
why does light look like he's just out of rehab
why is a ferriswheel breaking
what
>>154898145
>normie
Kill yourself, crossboarding autist.
>>154898128
I understand casting an asian actor for an asian role, but I can also understand there being difficulties in casting an entire cast of asians if the movie is being made in the US.
I mean, no one complained about the Attack on Titan movie being all-Japanese. And there's already a lot of Japanese Death Note movies, so I don't see the problem with making an American version with white/black people.
>people complaining about "whitewashing"
>L is a nigger
just fucking end this piece of shit world
>>154898175
no, it isn't, it's an edgefest entry tier anime
>>154898261
It's just that Japan is really Japanese, while America has a lot of minorities. You can certainly find an Asian actor out there, it's just that they aren't too prominent in Hollywood. It's way harder to find a good-looking fluent speaking Caucasian person in Japan, and that's why it's fine when Japan casts Japanese people.
>august
>>154898318
"muricawashing" would be a more correct word then.
americans dont deserve anime
>>154898318
I think theres some unspoken rule in the jewish american entertainment industry that you have to have x amount of black people on screen over specific time period.
>>154897269
You can trust japanese in manga-like overacting.
>>154894587
>tfw literally see my high school
Shame the movie looks shit.
>>154897812
>unironically wanting for holyjews to adapt more anime/manga titles
People like you is the reason why we can't have nice things.
>>154898662
That's a good way to put it. Everyone's black and white. Indian? East Asian? Fuck then.
>>154898793
Actually when you think about it, nips' shitty camera acting might surprisingly works well in instances like Gintama.
>>154894587
It looks like one of those parody trailers on youtube.
>>154898771
Shitty memes likes >representation is what holding down everything nowadays.
I mean, how can people actually believe that a person can't be inspired from someone else outside their race/gender/etc.
Black L and Dafoe are fine the rest is shit. Did they show anything about Matsuda yet?
>>154899149
How can you justify nigger L?
Even outside physical features, he looks nowhere like L in any terms such as his overall demeanor.
>>154899149
>Black L is Fine
Fuck no, he doesn't even have L's mannerisms and character.
He looks like a stereotypical BLM rioter judging by the trailer.

I don't know who's worse, people complaining L is black or people complaining they aren't japs.
>>154899582
Go back to tumblr
>>154899582
The worst thing about all of this is the fact that it is being made.
>>154899699
If it's at least better than the nip live action, I can be forgiving. That said, it probably won't.
>>154899761
Even if it was somehow better than the nip one, the fact that it completely butchered everything from the original source is not something to be forgiven.
Seriously, why can't they just stop pretending that it shares the characters/plot and make something completely different?
>>154899582
It's funny because he ultimately dies without getting the truth.
Like they fulfilled the "black dude always dies" trope while filling out an ethnic checklist. It serves no purpose but to attract people, since if anything everybody should be asian.
>>154900024
I think the author said L is some kind of quarter-jap european mix.
Just because a story is "entry level", doesn't mean that it isn't a good story. That's contrarian nonsense.
>>154900343
It's an okay story. It's not shit, but it's too ridiculous to be "good." It tries to present itself as grounded, but is just too ridiculous to be good. I think ridiculous things can be good, but not if they present themselves as grounded.
>>154900569
It was supposed to be grounded?
>>154900729
Death Note is a manga, I never watched the anime, but the manga never had anything asinine like the chip scene or this scene. I do enjoy these webm's and gifs when I see them, but they are not fundamentally representative of what Death Note was.
>>154900729
you know what he meant
the "this is real life, people die and that's it" philosophy
the "there are no good or bad guys, just tones of grey" thing
the "humans don't really matter at the end and justice/injustice is just a concept" thing
It tries too hard to be philosophical and "realistic" but it fails at both. I won't deny it's an interesting story but people give it too much credit
>>154896675
>ACT GOOD
Well, anon. Act well.

>hyuk's not in the trailer

Here's a pic.
>>154895517
If they were going to make a shitty netflix exclusive movie, rewriting it to be set and filmed in an american city is probably their best option. They aren't going to film in Japan, and having a full Japanese cast in an American setting would be weird.
The dumbest complaint I've seen was "This is just an excuse to not hire PoC actors" "but L is black" "That's racist too because he dies!"
Can someone explain the decision for L's being black? If it's for sjw pandering, isn't that really counterintuitive because the evil genius privileged white man kills him? (also, I don't like Light being white either. But I think there is smaller difference in aesthetics in Asian ->white
than White/japanese -> Black.)
>>154906262
Maybe hes a good actor.
I have a bigger issue with Light looking like a meth head.
You know what, Light being a psychotic white kid actually makes a lot of sense.
>>154906262
>Lawliett
>Japanese
L was mostly British, with some Russian and Japanese thrown into the mix.
>>154900024
90% of the main cast dies by the end of the series
"you can't hire black people because having them play a character who dies is racist" is racist
>>154906298
Yeah me neither. Hopefully that's at least a progression shot, where it showed him after he regressions into madness
>>154906339
It does later in the series, but early on he was quite literally perfect looking, perfect conduct, grades, etc. I'm trying not to dog them too much, I'm just skeptical of them possibly making another AoT live action
>>154906339
Not at all. The whole point was that Light was a person who could have been anything. He was handsome, well-groomed, knew how to excel at everything he ever touched and so on. He wasn't some sad bullied kid; he was borderline inhuman, which contributed to his inability to relate to others except in the most abstract sense.
>>154895795
It's a cheap Netflix gig, not Disney's James Cameron's Death Note, written by Michael Bay and featuring Tom Cruise as Light's dad with Emma Stone as Light's imouto
>>154906262
They probably just said fuck it and let's just make it an American version of the story. But when you make it an American story, people want diversity because America is diverse. It's smarter to just do that so people don't get pissed. Honestly, race swapping doesn't really matter to me unless the character becomes solely about being that race. Personally, I just think sticking to the original is better.
I would probably watch this if L wasn't played by a black man. Seriously, who the fuck thought that would be a good idea? I thought the trailer was a college humor type sketch at first.
>>154906154
Is she trying to say that you can't have death note set in america because the majority of the criminals he'd be killing would be black?
>tfw you don't care this time around because its been years and any interested you had for DN died off.
Feels good to just laugh at the spergs freaking out.
>>154894587
I will ONLY forgive this if there's a single off-handed joke that Matsuda sucks at swimming.
So will near be played by Jayden smith?
>>154906611
Cause it will went up a series about "a white boy cleansing the world of black/minorities" apparently.
>>154905666
Kek
>>154895515
I hate that the actor playing Light is the go-to guy for most popular anime/manga adaptations. He never even resembles the characters he's playing, he's horrible.
>>154906599
In all fairness, ethnicity and race are entirely irrelevant to L's character. Light is arguably an indictment of the Japanese school and family system (he seems numb and almost depressed at the beginning of the series, yet his mother only cares how great his grades are), but L could be Mongolian and it wouldn't make any difference.
>tfw when you'll never live to see zac Yagami.
Granted, he isn't japanese, but other than that he is a perfect match.
>>154906262

>>154896532
h-how 1:1 is that Fujisaki?
the nigger that plays L plays Light instead, and vice versa. How much does it improve? I mean, L was a fucking weirdo, and this junkie faggot fits the bill a bit more than some clean, educated black dude would. It's also not unreasonable to say the black guy would be sociable and popular like Light was, whereas L kept mostly to himself.
>>154906599
>>154906848
Agreed, It doesn't really matter what race L is.
Although I do think sticking to the original is better if you can... but then if you have an all Japnese cast you'd probably want to film in Japan... and so on and so on. It's easier to say it's an American adaption and go from there. Honestly if you don't see a problem with Light being white, you really shouldn't see a problem with L being black.
>>154906848
>>154907059
agree with both of these
>>154906937
>implying scarolls is actually a good fit for gits
plebbitor spotted
>>154895508
I hope this happens but I doubt it. Netflix knows exactly what kind of backlash would happen if they made the black guy a criminal just in L's shadow.
>>154907041
>black guy starts killing people and has to be stopped by heroic white shut-in stoner
you cant do this
only way it can work is if the characters are 100% Japanese people(played by korean/chinese-american actors)
>>154907059
Why does it not matter what race L, or any of the characters are? Anime/ this movie are both visual mediums. And whether we all like it or not, race definitely changes how we perceive a character. I like black characters, I just don't like changing from the source material. ( and that goes for all mediums if it can be avoided.)
>>154895333
He looks like the nerd /invisible guy that jocks try to bully but he stands up to them.
>>154907260
not the same guy, and I don't approve of the casting, but it's stupid to localize a series and keep shit the way it was 1:1.
>>154906154
Why is this kind of overt racism tolerated among liberals?
Why are they allowed to lie?
>>154894678
Kira is an Americangirlname.
>>154907260
A fair point. If you read my comment I do say I believe sticking to the original is the best. But I really don't perceive a character just by race. Unless literally, everything they do is a stereotype.
>>154906262
> Make L black
> It's racist because L dies
> Make Light black
> It's racist because Light kills people
It doesn't matter how you look at it, people will find a way to call it racist.
Putting black L aside - why did they make Kira the most obvious school shooter looking motherfucker?
>>154907499
Also Light dies too, so that option is double racist
>>154907499
What should matter is how they act their parts. I still say the two should swap actors. Have the black dude play Light and the drug junkie play L. Who cares what they do, everybody who's gonna watch the series knows what it's known for. Hell, they could even try and make Light be more likeable. But everyone's bitching about race instead of the actual flaws in the adaptation.
>>154895634
Daredevil is the best thing to come out of the MCU.
Hollywood is a mistake
>>154894587
It honestly looks fucking terrible.
Light looks like he runs a gaming YouTube channel
>>154906262
we wuz casting crew n shiet
>>154907795
He looks like he's going to use the Death Note to shoot up his school. Light is supposed to be handsome, not some ugly nerd.
>>154907977
Maybe /a/ hates Western Light because he looks like an /a/ poster
> L is black
Great. Now the whole thing turns into a racist tale of how white people are superior to black people.
>>154907638
Yeah, I agree. The problem is people who don't see it like that and want a flawless black character who can do or be wrong ever, which obviously makes for flat characters. But hey, wankers gonna wank and this people will find any way to call it racist.
>>154907638
Well, the black actor actually fits L's character, so it would be stupid to swtich.
>L is a black guy
>Light is a drug addict
>misa is a cheerleader
>dubstep in the trailer

Could they have fucked it up any more? The only good thing is Willem Dafoe. Might watch it just for him. But the rest is just so so bad..

>>154908182
this is one of the few shows where I don't mind the americanization of the cast, I don't want to watch a japanese live action and, if I wanted, there are like 3 different ones to pick from already. I mean it's not a dragon ball in high school type of deal, they are jsut making it more palatable for western audiences.
>>154894587
Look's awful, but I guess it was to be expected. Nothing good comes from a real-life adaptation of an anime
>>154896030
>>154895382
>that not Zac Effon "DAMAGED" Light
Oh no, I see where this is going to go.
Awful.
ok
>>154908398
>they are jsut making it more palatable for western audiences
It was already extremely popular in western countries as is. Making L black was clearly done for no other reason than to appeal to SJWs. The rest of the characters have just been made into stock teenage characters from every movie ever. Light has been made into a troubled youth who probably gets bullied, Misa is an edgy cheerleader, and many filler characters have been made into high school jocks by the looks of it.
Casting thread? Fine.
Here's my pick for Light. Pretty, charismatic and already has ample experience exploding entire timelines in his mad pursuit of justice.
>>154908786
too ugly
>>154897174
They want the nu-male narcos to project themselves onto Light after seeing how he's somehow the most popular guy in school.
>>154896030
FUCK FUCK FUCK IT WOULD'VE BEEN PERFECT
>>154908810
Compared to "School shooter" Light, I'd rather have this instead. At least it looks like he's president of some club at this school instead of sitting alone in the cafeteria while watching lets plays on his phone.
>>154894587
Oh boy, is this the new action movie hollywood is making?! I cant wait to watch and then forget it even exists after a month!
>>154908876
true. its just that the lower half of his face looks...weird
>>154908904
His jaw is a bit angular but it's more attractive than the original pick.

So will this be the new Edge of Tomorrow or will it be the new Dragonball Evolutions?

So is his name still gonna be "Light Yagami" even though he's white?
Also if this isn't set in Japan then how does the name "Kira" work if it's not a Japanese bastardization of "killer"?
>>154906698
post this pic in more threads retard
>>154911043
Might be that he starts by killing criminals from Japan first, so the Japanese media still give him that name.
Not sure how L homes in on him so quickly if that's the case.
Honestly outside of a complete and total rewrite, the pacing on this movie is going to be completely fucked.
What the fuck is up with Light's nasty greasy hair?
Minus the facial hair I think I look like a better Light.
>>154894587
So this is how people become /pol/acks huh? Not bad.
>>154911133
They're clearly changing 90% of it outside the Shinigami/Death Note shit itself.
What the fuck was that ferris wheel about?
If that's how Death Note winds up, I can't wait to see Hollywood's live-action adaptation of Sword Art Online. It's coming soon as well.
>>154911175

They somehow managed to turn Death Note into a generic action movie.

The movie format is a weird move too.
>>154894587
Hollywood just doesn't like Asians except for the occasional Asian female.
Not like I care since I almost never watch anything Hollywood related.
However, I do start caring when Hollywood starts intruding into my anime and manga world.
Nothing good comes from Hollywood going weeaboo.
They made Light look like the greasy mother fucker who would wear a suspiciously heavy trench coat to school.

>>154912792
Which is kind of weird, considering that the "perfect rich kid is actually a dangerous sociopath" thing is an ubiquitous cliché even in American pop culture. Hell, you could take Light, put him in a highschool movie/supernatural series/crime show, and there's a good chance the audience would say "yep, he's totally a villain" the moment they see him, just because he's too perfect. I guess that kind of character can't be the protagonist in Writerland?
>>154912792
>L is a pale shut in who looks and acts awkwardly
Since when is being pale part of caracterization? It's not even a plot point.
> L is a shut in who looks and acts awkwardly
He hides his face, wears only black and looks like a Chuuni. You don't think that's ankward? I do.
> Light is a perfect student who is confident and attractive
You don't think this guy is attractive? You have some serious shit in your eyes.
And it's too early to tell whether the guy is confident or not. Light shat his pants hard the first time Ryuku appeared if you'll remember.
>They've switched everything and made L cool and confident, and made Light a crackhead loser loner
Light was always a crackhead loser loner. He just hid it well. While L, though he might have been ankward, was also cool and confident, arrogant too, read the fucking manga again.

Not really. He challenged Light to a tennis match, and proved to be fairly skilled. Also in anothe scene he nonchalantly stole Misa's cellphone, as if that was normal to him. His behaviour in general is not awkward at all, sitting and standing poses aside.

Zac is almost old enough to play Light's dad.I'd watch it if they got Zac to the Matsuda-equivalent.
>>154897058
What happens if you don't write anything but the person's name while thinking of their face? Does a random hallucination happen? What'd be the "heart attack" standard equivalent?
>>154912373
I don't really know how I feel about Light, but I actually kinda like Nigga L.
I especailly like the fact that he's actively hiding himself with the hood and scarf.
It's not just some weirdo that you can't find any information on despite sitting with and talking to him, it's a black guy who's keeping his face from the public and the killer so it can't just be looked up in any way.
I'm kinda scared of what they'll do to Ryuk but overall this looks worth a shot.
If it's shit, it should still be good for a laugh.
>>154913476
Probably changing her name to Melissa or Michelle.
do you think they will do the potato chip scene?

I want to know what's with the kiss. Why. Death Note had some pseudo-sexual scenes (or mostly implied relationships/sex/etc with Misa and Kiyoda Takada or whatever the titty short hair bitch was) but still, wat.
I'm actually disgusted. Ghost in the Shell didn't even make me feel like this.
I haven't seen an adaptation this plain pig disgusting since Dragon Ball Evolution, but at least that had camp on it's side. This has nothing.

what's some other good dubbed anime?
>>154894587
>Hey, remember Dragon Ball Evolution? Let's make another one of those.
>>154916389
oh ok gotcha, I'm wasting my time I see.
Light is supposed to be handsome who the fuck is this guy?
>>154916465
Samurai Jack

Fuck niggers.

haha that is a good one mate haha, made me give a laugh. haha

You are wasting your time being a cuck

FUCKING BULLSHIT, TAKING AWAY ASIAN AMERICAN ROLES
>L is black

>>154916249
We can ditch that pewdiepie looking faggot, but Willem Dafoe was a great choice for Ryuuk.
>>154898178
>there are all these boards on 4chan, but, you see, YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE ONE AND STAY THERE FOR ETERNITY
>>154916980
What's wrong with this? Every other board is or has gone to shit.
>>154916977
You delusional faggots, Dafoe is only doing the VOICE for Ryuk. There is no actual acting involved.
Which means i wont get to enjoy any Dafoe since my weeabo flatmate cannot into english. Fuck.
>>154917096
>every other board on this site has gone to shit except for /a/, there is no shitposting on /a/, there is no cancer on /a/, /a/ is perfect
>>154894587
Looks like Twilight. DN is probably one of the easier popular animes to actually adapt. How do you fuck up so hard?
>>154917167
Who are you quoting? Because that's absolute truth.
>>154917100
>implying he won't be on-set to give the actors something to act against
C'mon, bro.
>>154917249
>i only use one board, and it's the anime board
>>154912671
> no Mello nor Near will appear
> particularly no Near
Confirmed or hinted? If so PICKED THE FUCKITTY FUCK UP AND MASTERPIECE INSTANT! Near ruined DN.
>>154895508
Probably won't happen but the buthurt would be fucking glorious
>>154916077
Fuck your /pol/ shit. Near was utter shit so I'd welcome him not just being absent but even defeated and BTFO'd instead of the bullshit he pulled (multiple asspulls and bullshits, being exact) in the animanga.
>>154895735
At least the deathnote gives you 6 tries if you fuck up their name before they cant get killed by the death note anymore
>>154917421
I agree that near was shit
doesnt mean that blacky beating whitey isnt forced jew shit
>>154917249
There's shitty template threads in the catalog right now. /a/'s no better than the boards you hate.
>>154895553
At least they can finally act on that sexual tension
>L in a tennis skirt
I don't give a shit about L being black. I do give a shit about him not being an autistic fuck.
If they wanted to make him black, they should've just snatched Donald Glover and have him do the exact same thing he did in the Martian. No one but actual stormcucks would complain if that's the case.
First GitS and now Death Note. Why are they doing this?
>>154917253
Sure, but the audience wouldn't get to see any of it. Which is really a shame, his face fits perfectly.
so in this movie L eats KFC and watermelon instead of candies?
>>154917803
It really does. He's got such a weird face and he's so good at over-emoting that Green Goblin would have been so much better just letting him overact in green facepaint instead of that idiotic mask.
>>154895508
We both know they don't have the balls to pull off something like this.
>>154917693
Because they're realizing how big anime stream sites like crunchyroll are and are finally realizing that it's a viable market to target.
However, they seem to have no fucking clue how to adapt anime the same way they had no fucking clue when they started adapting video games.
It may get better, but it will take a long time.
>>154917995
>adapt
Okay, can someone please explain to me how L made the assumption that something involving the supernatural was going on so early in the investigation and how this was perfectly reasonable to him?
If the exact same events were unfolding in real life, no one would be retarded enough to seriously entertain the idea that there was some magical power causing criminals to die.
When the double for L is on tv and is killed, why is the immediate assumption that Kira is able to kill anyone anywhere with some power and not that they have a leak, or that the killer (or team of killers) already know his identity and have been following him around?
it just seems so retarded to me.
>>154894587
>black L
WE
>>154918133
ded nigga
>>154918141
wtf I love hollywood deathnote now
When L stole Misa's phone, why didn't he put in on silent and took Light's call? Maybe Light would have asked Misa if she saw L's name without first checking her identity. It would've been instant win for L if it did happen.
>>154918101
>When the double for L is on tv and is killed, why is the immediate assumption that Kira is able to kill anyone anywhere with some power and not that they have a leak, or that the killer (or team of killers) already know his identity and have been following him around?
Because Kira wasnt't able to kill the real L right there and then even though he dared him to.
>>154918101
>they have a leak, or that the killer (or team of killers) already know his identity and have been following him around?
How would a mole cause someone to have a heart attack at that precise moment, exactly?
>>154918101

Hundreds of people all around the world died from heart attacks. First they didn't exclude the possibility of an elaborate plot, but when Lind L Tailor died there was no room left for doubt.
>>154912373
Go to bed Timmy. The grown ups are talking.
>>154918101
How would a mole cause Taylor to have a heart attack?
How would a mole know about the whole setup but NOT that Taylor was a fake?
>>154918383
attack his life points directly, duh
>>154918101
The police investigated the connections between the victims and found out that all of them were wanted for some crime. After that they found out that all of them had their names broadcast in the media. That made them suspicious that they're killed by some organization and not by a virus. But because there were so many people dead, it would have to be an enormous organization that couldn't hide. That made them suspect someone has something that can kill from the distance without contact. So L prepared the broadcast and found out that the first victim wasn't globaly known and was known just in a small area. So he targeted the broadcast there first. The broadcast was arranged by L with people he trusts so he was confident there wasn't a leak.
>>154894587
Seriously, Netflix couldn't find a pretty boy twink that could act?
>>154918695
Jumping to the supernatural though? Do you honestly believe if the same events had happened in real life that you could be so quick to believe it instead of looking for some other possibility, even if it seems highly improbable?
>>154918101
>so early in the investigation
half of the manga/anime is L trying to figure out what's happening, it wasn't so early
complain about N touching the death note and talking with Ryuk as if it were a normal thing
>>154918877
>even if it seems highly improbable?
Such as a supernatural thing?
>>154918877
Hundreds of simultaneous heart attacks targetting only criminals? Yes. The only way to explain it would be absolutely unexplainable technology which is pretty much the same as magic. Even DNA viruses wouldn't work.
The moment criminals start being manipulated by Kira there's absolutely no doubt left. You can't explain that with improbable unexplainable technology, it's fucking magic
>>154918893
>complain about N touching the death note and talking with Ryuk as if it were a normal thing
He had the whole meeting to accept Ryuk's existence.
Man. I feel like it's been a great day for Near. Just imagine being there, looking at Light's smug face, knowing you've already won. You've worked YEARS for that day. And it's happening. You fucked Kira in the ass.
Near haters can go to hell, he's pretty good at his job.
>>154906262
DESU it looks like another western adaptation were they remove literally everything but the name and the plot device item. Gotta keep the name or else no one would care about your shitty edgelord movie.
>>154918877
Well the victims were all around the globe so if they were killed by some organization it would have to be huge. When you have such a huge organization there's always someone who leaks something or they just fuck something up. That's why L theorized it's done by one person or a small group of people with some unknown weapon. It doesn't matter if it's supernatural or not.
>>154896862
>this one gives me instead the vibe of a high school loser getting his first machine gun about to go on his school shooting
kek
>>154896862
It's a shame Efron-San couldn't play him.
Not a fan of b(L)ack but think about it, the closest thing western tv has to L's personality/attitude is Sheldon from Bing bong bazinga theory. Again, not a fan of the casting, but I think they do need to rewrite the character a little bit.
>>154895432
>"I catch you because I Like's ya and I want ya, Light. Now, we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way, the choice is yours"
>>154919229
I'd be okay with a good black L. It's the USA and all. But the whole adaptation seems pretty bad. Like they westernized it but only by adding the bad western tropes.
>>154919270
>dawns pharaoh headress
>>154919229
>Comparing L to Sheldon
Nigga you what?
>>154919417
autism, percentages, weird habits
it fits
Now I want a Death Note movie starring Sheldon as L, Leonard as Watari, and it follows the plot of the manga except when L dies, he just gets up after Light's smile and goes "BAZINGA!" because he had another layer of keikaku set up in advance without telling the watcher
>>154919229
>the closest thing western tv has to L's personality/attitude is Sheldon from Bing bong bazinga theory.
Holy fuck just imagine the possibilities
>Black dude emerges from the set

My fucking sides. Make it happen, Netflix.
>>154919508
>>154919745
Fuck. Big Badonkadonk Theory isn't supposed to be funny. Stop it, now.
>>154919508

Just imagining that makes me want to kill someone.
>>154919917
>>154919958
>Matsuda! You're sitting in my spot!
>>154920005
Really how retarded does someone have to be to think Big Bazonga Theory is funny?
>>154895432
I don't remember L ever wearing something like that in the public... if he ever even made a public appearance. Bit of a strange disguise when it doesn't mask his skin color.
It's still going to be an intense cat and mouse game, but I guess they're doing away with Light's picture-perfect appearance and L's eccentricity.
>>154920074
TBBT isn't funny, but crossovers are.
>>154919745
I hate that I can imagine L's little deduction speeches and Kira callouts in his voice
>>154917421
>>154917476
>Near was utter shit
Literally re dit the opinion
GTFO
>Black L
>Acing the university access exams
Immersion ruined
>>154920090
That's because he never made any public appearances. Doing so would reveal parts of his identity and make him a target of Kira supporters trying to find out who he is and reveal it to Kira. I expect absolutely nothing from the movie. They're just going to fuck it up and create a bunch of plot holes.
>>154920340
i can overlook L fucking up one detail like that. The movie is going to be shit but because the trailer shoved in horrible action scenes
>>154920326
socially retarded geniuses getting perfect scores are also fictional
>>154894854
Light was a faggot
>>154894587
>2017
>People still care about live action adaptations
>/a/ is now full of plebs
>>154917693
Because it's 2017, anime is a mainstream hobby and /a/ needs to accept this already.
>>154920536
Its more about the west ruining anything it touches.
>>154920326
Its America so minorities get shit loads shortcuts in education.remember giving them to everyone but white isn't racist according to the US
>>154920752
I fear the normification of anime by the hands of Hollywood. Plus Hollywood is famous for using movies for propaganda. I guess there must be some propaganda in it so that normalfags can accept this movie.
>>154920450
Nah, the top Computer Science student at my university was a turbo-autist. He had no social network accounts and spent every waking hour working on his own programming projects.
He got scouted by Microsoft on his sophomore year after winning some Microsoft-sponsored programming contest, that he went on to win every year. And this is not even in NA, so it's probably quite rare to catch the attention of big companies.
I teamed up with him in many courses for group projects and he was absolutely on another level, I consider myself a good and dedicated student but that guy carried me through every project, I would go to sleep and when I woke up he'd already have half-implemented my part and added some extras that were absolutely outside of the scope of the course.
He couldn't socialize for shit, but other good students obviously gravitated towards him because he was too good. I'm pretty sure professors actually offered him thesis opportunities instead of the usual protocol of students asking professors. And of course, he won the best thesis prize as well.
This sounds very anime, but these guys do exist, at least one does.
>>154920851
>normification of anime by the hands of Hollywood
That's an extremely realistic fear as of late.
>>154895035
at least it won't be going to shit like the anime and slowly killing your mind but rather be over quick
>>154920752
Japan does a fine job of that before anybody else
>>154896485
Sounds retarded but that rule has always been there. At least it existed in the anime.
>>154899252
Because what L looks like doesn't matter, only what he acts like.
What Light looks like actually does matter. This is one of the few movies where I believe its literally the most important thing about the character.
>>154900729
I never understood how he did that.
He held his vein until the pressure built up and cut it it?
>>154922457
He didn't. Anime only filler so Light wouldn't die like a dog
>>154922511
I meant as in what was the anime trying to show? How did he do that?
Also, how did Light die in the manga? He died like a dog in the anime. Running with his tail between his legs only to die in some warehouse.
>>154922560
>Also, how did Light die in the manga?
worse
He crawls on the ground and is so desperate he asks for Misa/Takada to kill everyone, showing he's losing his mind. He sees Ryuk and asks him to kill everyone in the room, to which Ryuk agrees and "starts writing". Everyone lose their shit as Light laughs like a madman but Ryuk says he's writing Light's name because he doesn't want to spend years in prison with him. Light starts begging Ryuk like a dog, it doesn't work, and he remembers his convo with Ryuk a few years ago when he told him Death Note users don't go to paradise. What wasn't shown in the manga was Light's answer "So I guess afterlife doesn't exist at all, right?" to which Ryuk agrees. Everyone goes to nothingness after their death. After that flashback, Light goes "I don't want to die" like a little bitch for the last few seconds of his life and dies of a heart attack. His last words : "shit"
>>154922690
Sounds like a better ending than the Anime indeed.
>>154922788
Oh yeah, and I forgot to add but Mikami insults him for putting him into this situation and not being able to save him. He dies 10 days later in jail.
In the epilogue, Matsuda wonders if Near used the Death Note to manipulate Matsuda before the final day to ensure his win against Kira and asks if they did the right thing. His cop buddy tells him it doesn't matter because if Near lost, they'd be dead.
It's not perfect but certainly better wrapped up than "he died kthxbye".
>>154922860
The Near writing it down would be more insurance for him. Because if Mikami did everything Light said they would have died.
>>154908594
that's exactly what I was thinking
>>154907188
This is now my headcanon for how L would be in real life.
