>Light sitting on the ground in a dark room dressed like a hobo

>two evil men bullying a poor womyn (when the fuck has this ever happened at school?)
>Light is almost surely getting bullied too

He was supposed to be an alpha chad genius sociopath instead of the generic social outcast kid who takes revenge on bullies. Disgusting.

>>160129973
But if he isn't a bullied social outcast how can they make him sympathetic?

I hope it isn't totally going be Ryuk acting as a devil on his shoulder, that seems like it cheapens both characters a little.

>>160129973
doesnt make much sense for him to be an outcast either considering its his pride that is meant to bring him down.

>>160130102
Earlier trailer has Light literally saying, "We're not the good guys anymore!" to the Misa stand-in.

>>160130071
The appeal of Light was that he wasn't sympathetic and was a straight up egomaiac

>>160130181
>he wasn't sympathetic
Name one thing he did wrong.

These go hand in hand. He can't expect Ryuk if he never uses the Death Note until he reveals himself.

>>160130237

>>160130231

>>160130727
>>160130762
Didn't manga Light freak out when he saw Ryuk, too?

>>160130920
Lind was a criminal.

>>160130920
I doubt he'll even be in this movie.

>>160130944
He freaked out for a few seconds then got composed pretty fast, which is extremely impressive since all of us would've shit our pants right there.

>>160130944
Yes, but he said that something like Ryuk was bound to meet him.

>>160128812
jesus christ what the fuck are they doing

>>160131022
L makes public press conferences in this movie. And only covers part of his face.

>>160130762

I agree, but I also can't like it.
If he gets pressured into his first kill by a giant demon he's scared as shit of, it's meaningless.

The point of the Konbini scene was to show that he was prepared for it to work. It was just a test, but Light didn't care, rather, he hoped the Death Note wasn't a ruse so he would have something to make his justice reality.
Remember that at the time his experience with the Death Note was of a single, unconfirmed kill, and yet he wrote names in cold blood thinking he wanted it to be real.

Also amusing is how, in the manga, he sees some bullies at school but he concludes that it would be retarded to use them for his test.
And then you look at this trailer.

Light hasn't used the Death Note on his own, he doesn't expect Ryuk, he gets pressured into the kill instead of jumping at the opportunity himself, and he makes his test on some assholes that will just undermine his validity as a character if he's just a beta loser killing bullies.

>>160130944
Yeah, but he goes back to "Just as planned" mode in about 5 seconds

This guy's voice is awful too, why couldn't they find someone as smooth as Brad Swaile

Well they're already fucking everything else up, so I guess they'd fuck that up too for good measure

WOW DUDE, I didn't even see this coming. Now it's another one of those good black guy vs evil whitey things.

Am I the only one who thinks a black light could have somehow worked. Just have it set in Detroit or any shit city in america and have light slowly lose his sense of right and wrong to the point where anybody who gets arrested deserves to die

>>160131100
So you want him to literally kill every single person in Detroit, sound like a perfect plan to MAGA.

>>160131089
Well, it is Netflix after all. You know how those filthy Burgertopians are these days, getting their virginities stolen by muzzles.

>>160131089
Uh, racist and sexist much?

At least the Misa replacement is a cute.

>>160131089

A nuanced show about morality would be way too risky for a straight-to-cable kind of deal that this is.
You have to keep in mind that it's filmed for American audiences.
The typical expectation for the intellect of the American viewer is so low, that most shows get specific tweaks just for the US, that then get removed for international releases because they don't think other countries will be as dumb.

Just think of the Spiderman thing, where Spiderman accidentally kills Gwen by grabbing her at terminal velocity and snapping her spine.
American audiences were so fucking dumb that they had to digitally alter the floor to make her hit it, because the retarded burgers kept asking what killed her if they didn't see a clear-as-day depiction of hurr durr woman hit head she dead

Similarly here, you can't have an audience having to think about villain protagonists and stories where no one is one-sidedly "the bad guy"
Too much think hurt audience brain

>>160130951
Light didn't know that. He was punishing a guy for insulting kami-sama, not for whatever crimes he did.

>>160131100
It would have been more interesting than what they actually went with.

>>160131212
To be fair, you can't follow the laws of physics for the first time in the history of film and then act surprised when the audience doesn't understand what just happened.

>>160131221
This. Light didn't kill Lind because he was a criminal, he killed him because the latter baited him by insulting Kira.

>>160131221
>attempting to aid criminals
Anyone attempting to bring him down was objectively bad.

>>160131263

There is a telltale "crack" noise when her spine visibly snaps at a very unhealthy arch, and the Goblin even alludes to it beforehand.
Even if you're not used to physics working in the movie, it becomes instantly obvious what happened as soon as you get halted fall+crack+tragedy music

That's not an argument, fagtron. Killing all criminals knowing that the justice system is far from perfect and innocent people ending up in prison isn't unheard of is objectively bad.
Now stop being an edgelord, please.

>>160131477
Light kills so many innocent people just for being in his way it doesn't even matter. Besides, it's not about the rapist actually being guilty, it's about creating the illusion of an omniscient being that kills you if you commit a crime.

Oy vey goy, don't you know women are daily oppressed by misogynistic white men? I'm only surprised they aren't raping her in broad daylight.

>>160131523

For the Japanese you're guilty as soon as you're declared a suspect.
Even if the real culprit is found and they're aquitted, wrongfully accused people in Japanese society usually either commit suicide or become homeless, because they become social pariahs.
Even being so much as implied to be a criminal, even if you did nothing and it is proven later, is enough to have you fired, blacklisted for life, and treated no different than the actual culprit.


Light's story seems extreme to a western audience, but one mustn't forget that it's set in Japan, a land where the police force is so absolutely garbage that they just condemn the first suspect they find as guilty and declare case closed, just so they can keep their meaningless 99% police force "effectiveness" statistic.

>>160130231
>Name one thing he did wrong.
He wanted to be famous.
The Death Note was designed to kill silently and be impossible to be identified as murder. But the price is that the user would remain anonymous. But Light is an egomaniac and wanted people to KNOW that there was murders.

So all criminals will be white men, right?

>>160131601

Considering the girl is also attractive, I'm surprised someone wrote and filmed this scene and at no point anyone went
"Guys? Anyone noticed how this is less realistic than the magical notebook and the demon?"

>>160129973
Can't portrait a sports ass as insane mass murder.

Culture thing.

>>160131627
The point was that even if muh japanese wouldn't side with the woman, there'd still be other people wrongfully accused for anything else. Do you want me to keep spoon feeding you, you fucking retard ?

>>160131644
Light killed criminals that went unpunished by the Japanese justice system.

>>160131671
Of course, don't want to be racist right?

>>160128812
at least Ryuk looks cool that's about it though

>>160131669

You make it sound like he did it for fame, and not because he was pragmatic.
Light knows he can't be everywhere, he knows he can't know EVERY criminal, and he knows that his actions wouldn't deflect all crime on thier own.
That's why he makes it clear that a God "exists". Towards the ending, it's outright said that the climate of fear he created has diminished crime in the entire world by more than three quarters.

Something that would have never happened if he just resolved to stealthy killings.

>>160131700
The majority of his targets were people already in prison.

>>160131680
Those people would have been the same ones who'd realise that making a white autist into a cool black wannabe hijabed Martin Luther King may not be the best idea, to say the least.

>>160131639
That would've been more realistic though, and actually true to the source. Here they're just lightly grabbing her and making fun of her books i think?

>>160131734
Light obviously didn't see that as true punishment then.

>>160131669
>these are the people that masturbate to L fanfiction
He wanted people to know that criminals were being murdered so people stop breaking the law, you dumb fuck. The whole point of him killing criminals was to both bring justice and to drop the criminality rate. Which happened by the way, it's better for society to prevent crime than to punish criminals.
Holy fuck, you're retarded.

>>160131734
He also killed people that were not in prison, like the guy who killed Misa's parents.

>>160131732
>You make it sound like he did it for fame, and not because he was pragmatic.
I know what is his excuse. But the fact is many unsolved murders that got solved tend to be caused by the murderer intentionally wanting the fame. Light said he wanted to be known to make the world a better place. I am just saying he was lying.

>>160131759
Stupid fucking retarded edgelord living in your little bubble. You can stop being contrarian now, you can't disprove the fact that sometimes innocents go to prison with insults.

>I am just saying he was lying.

Does it even matter? His reasoning was sound, and it produced exactly the results he was using as "excuses".
What he thought was irrelevant, he wouldn't have accomplished a tenth of what he did, had he kept himself stealthy.
Even if he did decide to go the safe route and manually kill everyone, he would have barely been a drop in the ocean, and would have changed nothing until his pointless, uneventful death.

>>160131847
>Which means that Light was doing his oen investigations
Which means he can do better investigations than the justice system from inside his room by using his computer. Of course, it all makes sense now.

>>160131735
I mean in principle there's nothing wrong with making L black.
The problem is that he's not an absolute autist anymore and shows himself in public

>>160131847

As soon as the "prologue" ends, Light is killing literally thousands of people every single week, tens of thousands when you factor in Mikami.
Proposing that he's making his own detailed investigations on everyone he kills is preposterous.

>>160131914
Yeah, I'd be fine with the race change if they kept his personality and actions, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

>>160131896
How am I left wing, you stupid retarded fuck ? Did you already forget the part where I criticized liberals ? Check yourself for brain damage then.
You might want to check some stories people have been proven to be innocent after being arrested. Learn how to use the internet and stop being an edgy stormfag.

If I had the death note after killing criminals, I'd kill innocents and make people believe they were criminals because
>if Kira killed them they must have been bad
Then keep doing it to see how long it takes for people to figure out the truth

>>160131917
Mikami only used one page per day.

So is the existence of a death note, we're already in fantasy territory

>>160131914
>>160131936
Don't care about the race thing, it just annoys me when they make arbitrary changes just to appeal to more demographics. Only other problem with L being black besides that is simple: you can't tell he's a fucking shut in. If he's white, you can see he's pale as fuck. If he's black, not so much. Then again, that's amongst many other shit decisions with his character, so meh.

>>160132176
>>160132183
Kira calls himself justice because he has something akin to a nuclear bomb. Imagine that someone else got a Death Note as well and opposes him by killing his supporters. It's not justice, it's terror. And L and Near knew that.

>>160132210
He was a death row inmate

>>160132226
His goal also necessarily meant to built a system where he wouldn't need to do those things. It was ultimately selfless.

Sounds like America creating terrorist groups to justify counter terrorism

>>160132304
No. He sought peace for the world, becoming its devil. But he knows he's going to die himself eventually, so part of the plan is to terrorize everybody enough that he won't have to keep killing.

That's stupid and pointless. What would be the point? They won the moment they got their hands on the book.

>>160132316
The difference is that Light gains nothing else by pursuing that ideal. All those people you mentioned got several "perks" on their path to achieve their ideals.
Light's path is pure.

Look, I don't want to keep defending the little shit so I'll just say that his chosen path is ethically correct. From a pure reasoning point of view his actions are "good".
Story shits the bed at the end because they try to backpedal and say that no, he was just evil. But it comes way too late after cementing the fact that all he did he did selflessly, for the sake of an ideal and nothing else.

>L's real name was L the whole time
Death Note was complete trash.

If Light was killing innocents then they would have used that to destroy his support base. The fact that they didn't means that he had extremely good if not perfect accuracy at determining guilt.

It was never stated anywhere that Light ever killed an innocent person

>>160132482
Except they couldn't immediately bring evidence that those people were innocent. That's why the death penalty is highly criticized. Sometimes it takes years or decades to prove that someone is indeed innocent.

Light is played by a Jewish man.

>>160132572
I was quoting Machiavelli you imbecile

>>160129973

Because its the West and white betas are cuckboi faggots. Just look at the new L, he's black so he's going to be super cool.

>>160128812
I think Bollywood would've done a better job than this. This was awful.

>>160132504
>He's not a public figure, he's an abstract ideal
He wanted to reveal his identity to the world eventually.

>>160132419
>Light's path is pure.
He killed multiple people directly and indirectly for his plan. People who were genearly good, its not like their are systems in countries where poeople are given a fair trial or anything where they are innocent until proven guilty, Light just takes that right away deciding he's above the law playing jury,judge and excutioner

>>160132599
Machiavelli was being satirical. You're probably the kind of guy who thinks 1984 was an instruction manual too.

>>160132635
>He wanted to reveal his identity to the world eventually.
I don't remember that at all. What chapter was it in? How was he even going to do that?

>>160132143
What makes someone a criminal is completely arbitrary
Society could make any dumb shit a crime

If we equate crime to violence then how does that not make light a massive hypocrite?
How is light using violence to further his interests any different than what criminals do?

>>160132504
>It was never stated anywhere that Light ever killed an innocent person
>So it's retarded to assume that it happened
L did nothing wrong.

>>160132465
Yes, feared by your enemies not the ones you want to protect

So why would L go into public and have press conferences in person instead of behind a computer screen? Especially as a minority which would narrow the results much further as to who he really is.

If you like light and agree with him you should grow up.

>>160132765
It's a calculated risk

>>160132712
Indeed its not

>>160132820
So Light was just as justified as any given police officer.

>>160132798
Assuming he knew that would happen, it just shows that he was driven by selfish motivations.

>>160132858
What is there to justify exactly?
He was just acting according to his wants/interests and his goal would be detrimental to my own interest so I wouldn't have rooted for him if I lived in that world

>>160132441

Like those akin to cartel members and criminals with proven guilty records?

>>160128812

Holy shit that acting is terrible, though it's probably just because that's not Light at all but a completely different character.
At least Ryuk's voice acting seems pretty good.

In the first 10 minutes after a person has their name legally changed, when people around them are still thinking of them by their previous name, what name needs to be written down in the Death Note to kill them?

>>160133096
Death by DN doesn't reflect on your lifespan, retard
Also, as stated before light wasn't a fan of shaving his lifespan in half so even if he lived to be 100 he won't exchange 50 years of Kira LARPing for eye hacks. Hence he had no interest in finding out his lifespan
Kill yourself speed reader
Scratch that, you're probably a anime only secondary

>>160134476
Also, what about maiden names?

Dafoe is wasted on that shit, what a shame.

>>160131732
>Towards the ending, it's outright said that the climate of fear he created has diminished crime in the entire world by more than three quarters.
That's actually what bothered me the most about Death Note because it's plain bad writing. What actually would happen is that there wouldn't be any change at all. Light relied on law enforcement, so he could only punish those who have been convicted/suspected. People would soon find out that he's not omniscient but that nothing will happen if they don't get caught. So how exactly is Light's world different from Saudi Arabia where they chop off your head or limbs for minor transgressions? The threat of punishment can only deter crime up to a certain level, and three quarters is simply way too optimistic because we have and historically had societies where death penalty was common for all types of crimes, yet those societies were not more peaceful than ours. It's particularly amusing that this takes place in Japan, where they have crime rates that are already comparatively low.

>>160134525
>>160134476
Pretty sure as long as you have their name and image in your head its fine, things like changed names and maiden names probably don't matter

>>160134149

A Deathnote kills you by giving you a heart attack essentially.

>>160133500
Yeah they do, Light has a pointed, strong chin, narrow nose with a long nasal sect, light hair, double eyelids, protrudent brow and dolicocephalic skull, these are all Caucasian traits.

Why does the race of characters in a series about justice matter? I rather have them be all white its not like race adds anything to the characters

Am I the only one who thinks that they couldn't make up their mind on the supernatural shit? Like yeah shinigami and death notes exist to prolong the life of the shinigami but that's it. All the rest of the stuff is weirdly technical
>they die of a heart attack
Why not steal their soul or something? It's more suitable for shinigami
>40 seconds for a name, 6m40s for a specific cause
???
For these things that were supposed to ONLY be used by shinigami, there seem to be a lot of human-applicable rules

The only good things Light brings with his shitty notebook :
>it's magic so everyone becomes fascinated with it, making the threat a lot more ominous
>can operate outside of rules without ever having to justify it unlike our institutions which can have to uphold rules by doing something bad

The first one wouldnt last so long and the second doesn't help if what you're doing is killing shitty criminals instead of manipulating politics. It's not worth everything bad he brings with the note

>>160134875

>How would a DN work on someone who's like a orphan, for example?
>Will the shinigami eyes show his name as his "father's name" followed by 2 or something like the name he made up himself like Tyrone or some shit?
The lore is that every human has a true name. But that it is normally not an issue to find out what they are called because the death gods see the names by default.

This is basically reflecting Chinese mythology in the idea that every human has a designated lifespan and had their names in a book in the Underworld.

(And there is at least one branch of Taoism that believed you can cheat death by giving a recent dead relative your identity somehow by putting stuff in his coffin, and thus have your name crossed off without them knowing you are still alive.)

>>160128812
If that's supposed to be the same Light as in the manga/anime then they really fucked up. Like they fucked up beyond belief and completely misunderstood the character. Having him being egged on by Ryuk to use the notebook just completely fucks his character and their relationship.

Giving a high school boy the power of a death note just doesn't work in a western medium.

Should have changed it with giving a company the death note.

Dafoe egging him on makes no fucking sense. The whole premise of the series is that Ryuk is bored and he wants to see how a human would react to being given divine power.

>>160128812
This is a western adaption, so it has western values. Look, a handsome white guy wouldn't be likable to the crowd. Nobody would identify with him and he's supposed to be a antihero. So according to modern western culture, he needs to be an underdog.

L is the hero, so he's a black intellectual. Everyone loves black intellectuals except racists so it makes sense.

>non-racist nerdy kids
>normal kids who support with the black hero

But the death note doesn't work like that
For example a guy A has 50 years of life left
And the next day some shinigami kills him with the death note to take his remaining lifespan of 50 years
His fucking lifespan won't automatically change to one day just cause the shinigami is gonna use the DN on him the next day
Now if it was something else like death due to accident or disease (got Ebola or some nigger ran you over with a car) it would show up on your lifespan
Light probably would've spent the rest of his life in solitary confinement had Ryuk not killed him using the DN

>>160135237

why would they make a shitty adaptation of the original instead of just using the death note concept?
seems really dumb from a production point of view

See this image? Now come up with a better complaint or shut up

They did the same in the live action TV series, and it worked.

All seeing this trailer makes me want to do is rewatch the anime. It looks that bad

Reading the youtube comment was a mistake

>All you weebs need to stfu most of you haven't been in the anime community as long as me and others and we're getting tired of your bitching. This movie looks awesome and that's that. Go watch the anime or read the manga instead of bitching

Zac Elfron got old, he would look even more awkward as Light

$5 on Kira killing a white, right wing, boisterous American president

>>160133019
He used the death note and all death note users go to neither heaven nor hell

so just because he did not have it does not make him not a death note user

>>160133240
He didn't scream, he was just startled

>>160137362
See >>160136879
Or does
>AAARGH
Not qualify as a scream anymore?

Why does Hollywood always think that it would be better if they changed this or that. What is the point in denaturing everything about a story that has had as much success as Death Note. Nobody will recognize nor accept anything, it's only the preview but it already looks like some pathetic ripoff. Abysmal overacting, cheap CG supposed to look like Ryuk when even his voice and obviously, whole character are totally different.
Fuck you Hollywood!

humans with shinigami eyes can see the numbers, but generally only shinigamis can make sense of them and would be able to translate it to a "human date"

Was it so difficult?

In the manga it was implied he was fucking her
It wasn't in the anime but it's just after L's death
Nigga literally got ero manga to jerk off to when L had his home bugged just to give the appearance of a typical nerd and throw L off his back
Also, that gay foot washing scene was just anime only fujo pandering shit
Makes sense that Light would take measures to ensure Misa's loyalty

You should see the Japanese do it

>>160137736
It was never implied that he fucked her in the manga

So if Light acknowledges he himself is wrong, doesn't that invalidates most of the crux/interesting part of the story? About how power slowly corrupts even those with the loftiest ideals? That an egomaniac with a God complex can't be trusted with such power? What's the story about then, Light running around and using the Death Note as some sort of Swiss army knife to escape the police?

>In manga he was just a harasser

They were clearly gonna take her in the motocycle to fuck, you think they'd roll up in peds and chase her just to talk?

He knew they were scum and wanted to test the death note on them

Not something like an idealistic kid trying to change the world.
They said it's gonna be an own western work in a western setting, but I still expect a trainwreck, even as a standalone work. Almost a shame that I won't be able to watch it

>>160137227
POTUS kills himself in Death Note, doesn't he? All on his own, without anyone writing his name.

>>160137227
Nah, the President will support Kira and act racist towards L.

>>160130231
>Thinks he's a god
Well I guess there is really much wrong with that.
