I wonder how much the trailer is intentionally misleading. The cuts seem odd, I can believe the audio and visuals aren't from the same point in the film a lot of the time.

But L's quirks are there, that's good, sweets scattered around and weird sitting.

The point is that this is very much an American adaptation of the story, not a direct adaptation.

If you want Japanese people re-enacting the story the same way just watch the japanese film.
This is trying to tell the same story in an American school setting.

Light isn't some perfect, smart pretty-boy because that doesn't really fit the archetype for what he ended up doing in America the same way it does in Japan.
L being black also does the same thing. Rather than looking like some kind of shut in white guy, which most people would be able to find the name of very easily in modern America's social media focused culture, they made him into some black guy who probably got roped up into his role at a young age cause no one gives a shit about black kids.

I'm kinda neutral on the Light decision, but I love the idea of nigger L.
Hell, even if he figures out what his name is, it'll take him more time to figure out how to spell it probably.

L is black is the least of it's problems to be honest. It's barely one in the first place.

Why is Light a bottom feeder loser? Who's that lady character? Why does it feel like she's the one who drives Light? Why is he still called Kira? They're in the US. And above all else, why the fuck would Light ever say "We're not the good guys anymore"?

The whole plot of DN revolves around Light being too smart to be caught, keikakus and being so attractive it causes issues when women give him too much attention.

Some other notes:
Bullies, in america if someone bullied you that much theres a good chance they go to prison and pay huge medical bills and ruin their academic career.
Light trying to save a girl? In the manga he actively tried to get rid of the girl and wished she died.

They Americanized Death Note. There scenes from Seattle, Light and Misa (in the movie it is apparently Mia Sutton) are American and not Japanese. Death Note just got sold out to Hollywood which is more concerned about how the movie is accepted, and not actually staying true to the story. Point is it is Light Yagami not Light Turner. It is Misa Amane not Mia Sutton. Anyone who try to correct the way I say there names are wrong, and needs to fucking take a lesson in appreciating another person culture. I am so sick and tired of this bullshit. Hollywood needs to stop, and I bet almost none of this film is filmed in Japan. Where this story is based. Wanna hear a joke? Americanized Death Note. that's a joke I tell you.

eh, i'm willing to give it a chance since i'd like to see more stories about people getting death notes, but they should have done more to set it apart from the original story if they weren't directly adapting it

like how the main series story was different from the oneshot, just do your own thing with the general premise and rules
>>
>>159111491
This doesn't need to be one to one compared to the anime/manga in order for it to be great.
However, and it can't be stressed enough, people don't like this transparent pandering bullshit. You want to make your money back I get it but, you don't need to aim for the lowest common denominator in order to put asses in the chairs. Death Note is a great story because it has an awesome premise and borrows just enough from other establish genres to make the progression of the plot and the character archetypes interesting without being cliches. However this gentrification of the characters not racially but, narratively kills any hope of attracting people who think they'll see something captivating. Instead all that happens is people see through the twist, turns, and character arcs because you've made it fit into the cookie cutter. So the only people who watch this that were not apart of the original audience many of whom you alienated by the way; are those who think the premise is cool and that's it. No big celebration, no one posting about how much they love it, just a fucking turd that garners a little attraction at first before the smell tells people to stay away.

What the fuck, not all bishonen are actually evil, and archetypes exist not just to be used, but also to be subverted and challenged. They could do it if they wanted to, turn Light into Disney Channel Zack Effron or early Justin Bieber. They just didn't want to.
>>
>>159113031

What pisses me off the most is that he seems to have an actual gf. One he actually cares and isnt just using.

If they turn kira into some whinny emo anti hero instead of a magnificent bastard, evil protagonist he orginally is ,. then they really fucked up this adaptation.
>>
>>159113113
I actually agree with you, anon. Like >>159112765 said Light should have been portrayed as the top student in this class, acing every exam and probably already attending Harvard as a freshman. Should also have been portrayed as a perfectionist who can't handle failure. That way, it makes his inevitable slide into insanity more believable. I don't know, maybe they'll go this route. But from what we've seen, this Light doesn't exactly seem Harvard material. In my opinion, they could've made him a bit more prim and proper. I don't know, like a Harvard student would be I guess.

Yaeh. If they make Light an anti-hero then they're missing the entire point of Death Note. The manga/anime/Jap live action never once portrayed Light as being right. He's a murderer. And despite his fans who root for him, myself included, he is still a murderer who was simply brought to justice at the end. I don't want them to turn Light into anti-hero or god forbid, a hero. Neither should L be. L should still be a morally grey guy who isn't exactly above using low blows to get to Kira. Race jokes aside, I just want them to do a good job of it.

I think the race casting in this movie was brilliant

People angry angry about "L" being blackwashed would have to acknowledge the rest of the cast being White washed

People angry about the White washing of the cast would have to acknowledge that "L" is supposed to be a white male anyway

People who wanted a majority asian cast to go 1:1 with the anime can be told to fuck off and just watch the original live action movie.

This shit was some 4D casting. No one has any solid ground to complain about race choices

I don't know. I guess they're just not 'good' actors if you get what I mean. I feel like white and black actors are what Hollywood wants in a hero or villain. Asians usually get cast as side characters only. But it's ok, I'm Asian myself but I don't really care. I just want them to make something good.

L isn't even japanese. He was barely a fourth asian. What matters is for Light to be part of the racial majority of the country the story takes place in while L isn't.
Whoever's in charge probably intended to play up the contrast between the protagonist (white and a loser) and the antagonist (black and an authority in his job).

Personally I don't give a fuck about the race. I want a good adaptation but I feel like even that won't happen. I just want the actors to be good and the script to be faithful. But that's already going off the rails. Light seems like a meth addict school shooter and L looks like Antifa. That's not the image they should be going for. L should feel more autistic genius-like. Light should feel like an Ivy League genius set for life. Then shit hits the fan.

Why is Light such a fucking pathetic loser? The only way to fix this movie is to have him not be "Light". He should be some loser who obsessed over the Death Note anime and tries to be like Light. Changing his name to Light Turner. His family thinks he's a faggot but they play along. And he's a beta orbiter around some cheerleader.

I completely agree with you. Neither L nor Light fit their basic caracterization from what I've seen. Only superficials trait like the love of sweets or the sitting positions. L looks way too driven, heroic, and outspoken. Light is a loser who gets led around the nose by his girlfriend. This really isn't what I want to see from a DN adaptation. This L isn't L. And this Light isn't Light.

Honestly this. I'm willing to bet he'll make one hell of a terrifying Ryuk. Maybe even better than OG Ryuk. The one thing Hollywood consistently does better than Japs is their special effects. Suppose it must be their fuck huge budget.

This looks like it has less appeal than the OG Death Note. If you wanted to do it right, you'd catch some popular young star (maybe a Tom Holland. Efron would have been good back in the day) as Light. Instead they have some no-name actor. They're changing the core of the story and the characterizations for who? Who do these changes appeal to? Black people already loved Death Note. No one was asking for a black L. This just seems like the writer/director just wanted to do his own thing.

I actually went back and watched his performance as Green Goblin in Spider Man 1. And holy shit he just perfectly captures that creeping feeling of insanity very well. If he uses that same acting for this, Ryuk will be a nightmare. Something anime and manga Ryuk sadly never was.

I don't care what race they are as long as they atleast make an attempt to make the character actually look as close as they could to the original source material.

I mean L isn't even Japanese but the live-action movie L atleast looked like him, same reason why people shilled Zac Effron as Light.

Tossing shaved nigger and school shooter kike instead of pale skinned neet and chad thundercock is a huge mistake.

Honestly I would have preferred if they had casted a black guy as Light instead of L.
L just always felt really white, I guess?

There are really only 2 interesting aspects of Death Note, and thus preserving those aspects is all that's necessary in order to make a faithful adaptation. In that regard, it's actually pretty suitable for a live action film adaptation because animation is not really necessary to preserve these two aspects:

1) The main character. Light is just a standard psycopath archetype, but it's somewhat unique because we rarely see that as a main character, and especially not in media aimed at teen boys. He has no little self doubt and is really convinced he's doing the right thing, his thoughts from beginning to end are not focused on morality but simply on how to most effectively achieve his goals.

2) the story is over the top and yet very deliberately composed at the same time. It really feels like the characters involved are geniuses, making the cat and mouse drama a lot more interesting than your average cop TV show

And yet, the movie is still fucking it up by turning the MC into an angsty, edgy, ugly kid and adding action and horror elements to the story. Hollywood needs to realize they can make successful adaptations not by imagining what an IP could be but instead just preserving what made the IP popular in the first place. Death Note is an international success, they don't need to make it more accessible.

>>159115253
>his paleness is literally part of his character
True, this is more of a factor than his race honestly. L's appearance in the original evoked that of a shut-in, but not necessarily a neet. They're clearly going for a different route with this L, and I'm willing to give it a chance because stories shouldn't be locked into their original incarnations when being adapted for a new audience. Even Columbine Light works for me, because when you transfer the setting, the characteristics necessary to become such a murderer is much more iconic of those types of kids rather than Uni-bound chads. It's an adaptation attempt for archetype so the audience can immediately read what's going on. For the sake of a simpler narrative there's a lot of character nuance that has to be abandoned because there's simply not enough time compared to a 30+ episode show.

No one really cares about non-Japanese-made content even if the source material is Japanese. They bought the rights thus supporting the original Japanese rights holders and creators allowing them to make more of the good stuff (why the fuck is Platinum End so slow?) so they can do whatever they want with it since people who are mainly interested in anime and manga aren't going to watch what is practically a regular Hollywood action movie in the first place.

I just hope the publicity generates renewed buzz that results in the release of new spin-off manga or new anime adaptations. So in short as this wise anon said >>159115900, unless it's anime or manga that's made in Japan, no one would truly give a shit.

Hollywood does. The big fear is that one day they finally strike big with one of these adaptations and the entire market shifts completely to pander to the retarded american audience.

The Japanese market? That will never happen. The Japanese market would NEVER pander to a foreign market.
1. They don't even care about sales outside Japan and sometimes even imported BDs that are bought online. They somehow think "they don't count" no matter how significant.
2. Pandering? Why would the original Japanese creators pander when whoever buys the foreign movie rights is going to rewrite the story and rework it for their local markets. Pandering to another market would mean they lose sales in the Japanese market for a hope that some foreign company buys the rights of their stories. Foreign companies take notice when the stories succeed in Japan first so it doesn't add up.
3. If anything, having successful foreign adaptations would infuse new cash into the supposedly dying anime/manga industry so it is mostly a good thing.

It's been too long so I don't even remember what kind of proof exactly was delivered anymore, but weren't they also aware that people with the shinigami eyes can spot other users and then had Light's dad clearly see his son's remaining lifespan, i.e. proving beyond any doubt that he did not own a death note?

L just always pulled the solution out of his ass without actually knowing the details he would have needed to come to that conclusion. He was a poorly written character imo because they did not spend enough time on him actually doing any investigation but just always jumped straight to

So my understanding from this trailer:

It's gonna be an action thriller to reel in retarded american viewers
It's set entirely in high school
Misa doesn't have a DN herself, she's just some groupie
They removed that scene with puppet detective dying live on tv and instead put L making a statement. I actually liked that scene.
L never lost his collected and calculating demeanor when trying to call out Kira/Light in the anime, every interaction was like some subtle mindgame. Why can't Hollywood cast intelligent blacks that don't act uppity/"white"?
Only thing they got perfect was Ryuk.

so far this has warning signs of being shit

So far, it isn't working well, but the day something does the entire industry will slowly start to flip. If you told people 40 years ago that most big movies being produced in the 2010's would be comic book movies and that hollywood now flips backwards at every turn to pander to the growing chinese market, people back then would laugh and call you insane.

Again that will never happen. The main customers are Japanese, if the product panders to other people instead of them, they won't buy it. It is made by Japanese for Japanese. Hollywood only takes notice of anime/manga that are extremely successful in Japan (Ghost in the Shell, Death Note, Sword Art Online, Naruto, Bleach, Tokyo Ghoul,...etc.), if they pandered to others, they wouldn't have succeeded in Japan in the first place.

I want to believe that, anon. I really do. But aren't they complaining all the time that their industry has been dying? What makes you so sure that they wouldn't keep courting more and more the western market to save it? It seems to me that this is what they're starting to do.

He ended his sentence with "both of you," and so the meaning behind his statement could be perceived as him addressing the sentence "kill yourself" to each of them individually.

If he said "kill yourselves" he would be asking both of them as a group to kill themselves.
While "kill yourselves" probably makes more grammatical sense, "kill yourself, both of you" is correct in its own way.

You're all complaining that he's black. And if the movie flops, and they say it's cause people care about him being black, haven't you all given them proof of that. It's not even complaints that he not portraying the character, it's just complaints about nigger L.

L using the fake detective was the perfect intro for the character. It perfectly showed how good of a match for Kira he was, at a time where he thought that between his intelligence and his untraceable killing weapon, no one would be a match for him and everybody would eat up the "God is killing the sinners" thing. It also showed that L, far from a hero detective, was pretty ruthless.

Hollywood changing the character's race when adapting foreign media is always a constant, and /a/ fucking hates it for reasons that are beyong political or racism, you faggot.

That was in the 90's.

Now they are blacking a character that doesn't look anything like a black person because they think it will appease the new ultra pc retarded progressive audience and bring attention to it, hoping it will sell.

The more 400 reply threads we have about Hollywood jews and the death of anime and whatever, the more we encourage the crossboarder retards who killed /v/ to do the same with /a/.

And that has nothing to do with /a/. Again, using the fact that there's a black actor in an anime movie as an excuse to make /pol/ threads on /a/ is just going down the route that has been turning most major boards on 4chan to shit.

>>159120629
This guy >>159120679 already said pretty much exactly what I was gonna say. There's a huge difference between using nigger as a casually edgy internet insult and going full /pol/. The biggest problem with these /pol/tards is that they always assume all of 4chan has to be like /pol/, while /a/ is literally just a fucking anime discussion board and has nothing in common with /pol/ or its userbase other than being hosted on the same website.

It should. /a/ should be strongly against it. If anything, the fact that hollywood is blacking the cast of their show to pander to progressive fucktards is a way of manipulating /pol/ and racists into boycotting this too. Western involvement in anime is always shit and could ruin the industry.

Honestly unbelievable. The whole fucking show is tainted now, not that I was going to watch it anyways but cmon. They are obviously going to make Light look like some huge murdering monster and probably make him racist as well. Instead of killing criminals they will probably have him trying to purify the world of niggers while the holy can do no wrong black man puts him in his place. You can already tell the black guy won't be dying so thats already a break from the manga.

"People" never cared about it in the first place. Even if it was 1-1 faithful to the manga, it would still be live-action, it would still be in English, it would still be made by non-Japanese cast and crew using Western film-making and story-telling techniques. Only casuals or normalfags gave a shit.

And even now the only thing making people keep bringing it up is politcalshit and autists that want to talk about politicalshit outside of its designated places. If that movie didn't have any polticalshit bait, no one would've cared or talked about it and it would have died into obscurity or did well without much noise. Organization is key, dividing forums into topic-related sections leads to higher quality content, they just don't understand that.

The lower classes in general in any country have low expectancy. Well off niggers live just as long as anybody else, but since they're in majority lower class they don't.

I'm not saying /a/ should be militantly against anything or start supporting ecelebs like /v/ did (and that's what really killed the board, as it brought too mucha ttention to it), but this is something /a/ has hated for a decade now.

I think threads about western adaptations like these should be banned. But since they are not, I am not going to pretend I like hollywood meddling with the anime industry just to be against /pol/.

How did they fuck this up so badly? the worst change so far has to be L, and not because he's black, but because of how much he contradicts what his original character stood for. He always believed in analyzing the situation before he acts, and that was shown greatly with the live interview of "L". But this one just feels so much more about just confrontations than being smart or planning how he does something.

I guarantee that in this adaptation, L will be alive and take Kira in. This adaption is a fucking joke, or at the very least, much worse then the Japanese live adaption.

/a/ shouldn't get into board politics period. Anime has nothing to do with where on the political scale the average user should be. /a/ should just resist outsider influence and maintain its original board culture like it always have, it's the only high traffic board where we managed to somewhat stay like we were years ago instead of succumbing to /b/ or /pol/ shit early on like /v/ has. nu-/v/ ironically shits on us for being what we are, but /a/ is far closer to what original 4chan culture was.

You don't have to pretend shit, there's plenty to complain about here without bringing up muh white genocide and calling everyone who disagrees a sjw cuck from tumblr or reddit or whatever.

The same self-policing that kept narutards away from /a/ for years (before mods decided to go full retard and force us to allow nardo threads) should be able to keep obnoxious /pol/tards away too. /a/ is for turbo dweebs to sperg over chinese cartoons. That's it.

>>159122143
I ddin't say you were wrong about not getting into politics here, but hating western adaptations really is something the board's hivemind sort of agreed upon since forever.

I just have the impression that Americans wouldn't like to have someone telling them how to live, and go "fuck off Kira", at least most of them. Also, it depends on what things Kira considers crimes. If he kills too many low level muggers, he would end up killing too many Black and Latinos and being accussed of being Right Wing, if he kills, let's say, trigger happy cops or wealthy shady businessmen, or even corrupt politicians, he could be accussed of the opposite. I think you guys would do a great show of it regardless.

It certainly isn't yours either, because you obviously never post here too often. I'm no liberal by the way. In fact I probably browsed /pol/ before you knew what 4chan was. I could carefully explain to you that 4chan wasn't particularly political and this extreme FUCK NIGGERS REDPILL shit wasn't prevalent before the /pol/ explosion a few years ago but that would be a waste of everyone's time. /b/ was particularly racist, but most boards were completely aphatetical and very different from what you imagine they were.

Either way, just respect the rules and keep politics to /pol/, anon. That's it.
