What the fuck were they thinking?

The ending should have been the girl orchestrating some kind of big stand off between light and L where light loses, so L thinks he caught kira. It made no sense that the girl did the FBI plot, and light never used the book intelligently ONCE, then thinks of a master plan in 30 seconds running from the police.

American tv shows and movies tend to shy away from extremely competent characters unless they shoot things constantly. They have to make them awkward, faux geeky or in the case of a woman, clumsy.

>>86934160

>Americans loved Breaking Bad
>Still rewrote Death Note to make Light the hero/a victim

It doesn't make sense to me at all.

>>86938490
mfw L concludes Light is Kira when it wasn't even him that killed all the FBI agents

L literally never figured out Mia's involvement or even suspected it

>>86938531
They really turned Mia from a fawning worshipper to more competent than L and Light?

>>86938531

Typical western adaption of a story about character flaws.

Everything bad happens TO Light. Just like everything happens TO Walter, TO Dexter, TO every fucking protagonist. Just a product of circumstance that wouldn't have to go so far if the world was "fair."

Personal responsibility doesn't exist to western shitheads.

>>86938531
What about the end

>>86934160
Light being white meant they had to be careful with not breaking willing suspension of disbelief

>>86934160
You guys are conveniently ignoring that anime/manga light died a virgin.

American Light had sex multiple times and didn't even die.

>>86939587
Manga Light dipped his wick before the series even started. He was dating QTs already besides the other girls worshipping him later. Fucking women simply isn't his goal so they don't show it just like they don't show him taking a shit.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of the Manga/Anime was how much of a cold calculating cool motherfucker Light was. I don't give a shit if Light is different in the Netflix series, but the fact that the Netflix series doesn't understand the appeal of the original Death Note beyond the power fantasy angle is what makes it shit.

I mean Manga Light barely uses the death note for personal gain unless he's forced to to protect his identity.

I'm glad this movie is flopping so Hollywood leaves anime in the second dimension where it belongs. Everybody knew it would be shit right off the bat. Are people really surprised?

They should have just made their own original movie with the death note mythos being in the back drop.

Or even a continuation of the anime with the Kira shit being in the past.


It was pretty clear that is what they wanted to do.

Would have been a great twist, actually. Despite the names, Mia is the real Kira, and Light is the Misa equivalent of this adaptation. They could have even had a Keikaku Doori moment at the end where Mia reveals to the audience that she had been manipulating Light from the start, eavesdropping on his meetings with Ryuk (and figuring out what Ryuk might have been saying based on what Light said), manipulating his actions, and deliberately forcing him to do dumb shit knowing that he would either kill his father, and thus be worthy of the Kira title, or refuse, in which case she could simply pluck the Note from him and assume her title fully.

>>86942033

>Prove me wrong.

You're right though, L was alot closer to his character than Light was

I can't recall if either Light or L did anything intelligent in the entire movie. Something that stood out to make them seem like geniuses.

>>86941611
The Manga/Anime Light even hesitates and rejects killing a bully of his classroom, something like:
>"No, it would be very suspicious, he´s in the same school as I"

And then Netflix shits on that good logic and does the exact opposite thing (just like the whole movie)

>>86942023
It's an adaptation. When a jap adapts a western story for japanese audiences, it's an adaptation.

Do you really think Jap movies come even close to western ones? Even shitty western movies are twice as good as great jap ones. Get bent out of shape about the source material not being fallowed all you want, Death Note movie was a better shot movie than the Jap adaptation

>>86943175
Its a 1.5 hour movie. What do you expect? You can't condense the magic of a 20 hour long anime dramatic thriller into those measly minutes

>>86943546
>Its a 1.5 hour movie. What do you expect?
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, for a short movie it's a good idea. My only gripe with the movie is including L and shit.

It isn't the worst animu adaptation ever made but it isn't good either. The score is excellent, the cinematography is very pretty, Willem Dafoe is perfect as Ryuk, and most of the cast deliver solid performances but all of that is fucked over by the terrible script. Characters constantly throw caution to the wind and do stupid shit just to progress the plot. None of the plot progression feels natural, it all feels forced. This should've been a series instead of a movie.

>>86943546
>it was his 1st kill. there was no heat
In the anime, his first kill is the criminal at the news; if he would have killed the bully it would have died the same way, and the police would have a mental fantasy about it, just read the pilot of the manga, the first victim of the guy (not Light) was a bully, and the rest of the week the police were looking for clues

>>86934243
>light never used the book intelligently ONCE
so at least they were faithful to the cartoon

>>86943700
was not his first kill an ex schoolmate that he hit with a truck for harassing a woman?

>>86943777
In the anime? No

>>86943794
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENAHlgd6A7U
you are correct

So why the fuck is this movie 100 minutes long? It should be AT LEAST 130 minutes long. I really don't get it, it's like they tried to make it as short as possible even though you can't fit so much plot into such a short movie.

>>86941153
I'm lazy to think but what's the apple suppose to mean?

You think L was a problem? Would you prefer light just killing off people willy-nilly if anything miss could have faced the axe. Love interest has no baring in regards to the story other than paying homage to the fairer sex.

Your basically agreeing with me. Police are looking for someone who has absolutely no binding evidence too the crime other than his fantasy diary.

>You think L was a problem? Would you prefer light just killing off people willy-nilly if anything miss could have faced the axe. Love interest has no baring in regards to the story other than paying homage to the fairer sex.

Because it's about teens, then including L makes no sense since it goes against the story they wish to tell. A normal detective would have sufficed.

It's aimed at millennials who will binge a TV show for six hours but can't handle a 2 hour movie.

Have you ever be in a situation like that? I have, and the way the pilot did it was logical, the bully was from his classroom, the police are going to interrogate the rest of the classmates, they may suspect of you if they see you act very nervous; cops are trained to identify body language, you know? It makes senses in the Manga/Manga pilot/ Anime

>>86941933
this

>>86944294
body language won't get you jailed unless you are a total spaz and spill it all.

>>86944224
Can't argue with that. Then if they add a sequel and made it more serious they could have thrown in L.
>>86944294
But it isn't the pilot/manga/anime... Stop the comparing

>>86944429
>body language won't get you jailed unless you are a total spaz and spill it all.
That´s what the pilot did, the boy actually confess he killed him by accident, and gave the Death Note to the police; the cops were searching for clues even after school, they visited every single classmate house searching for information, and since it was a suprise visit, he acted very nervous; it makes rejecting the idea of killing the bully in the Manga/Anime

>>86944482
It´s not, but it´s supposely based on it, and the lack of logic in the Netflix version makes me point out the logic that was included in the previous material
