Why.

>>87168638
"not asian" doesn't mean "white", polsworth

Same reason all the other Asian characters were recast as white. Also, his performance had to be the best part of the film.

Nigger washing

>>87168735
L should not be an angry nigger fampai
Running to catch Light was so fucking out of character

>>87168807
This film just uses the core elements but totally diverges into its own story. Ryuk is more sadistic, Light is less of a sociopath that wants to stop with the Desthnote shit when he's faced with killing cops, it's pretty good if you don't try to compare it to the anime.

Caat them.

>>87168807
I'm sure they cut that all out. In the anime no one ever saw L's face. From the trailer of this movie it looked like he was standing on the steps of the courthouse speaking to crowd wearing his BLM mask.

>>87168869
Not in the universe of this story. If you're mad it's not like the anime, watch the Japanese live action films. Seriously, this film is like the first Silent Hill film. It borrows key plot points and ideas but it does it's own thing. Stop bitching that it's not like the original story when it very clearly isn't trying to be.

Pretty much.

I enjoyed the movie. Probably because I never watched the anime/read the manga/seen the other adaptation.

>>87168887
>it's pretty good if you don't try to compare it to the anime.

It really isn't though. It's contrived the whole way through and has countless plotholes. It's a terrible movie even on its own.

He never mentioned Rogue One or The Force Awakens though.

>>87169105
it was a 6/10, it wasn't horrible. it's just that /pol/ doesn't give a fuck about the protagonist being horribly miscast, and instead go for L because KANGZ

>>87169092
was less responding to the OP and more to the mega autists that spam KANGZ whenever this movie is bought up

>>87169137

Light was written to be a wuz.

>>87169137
>protagosnist was horribly miscast
>somehow L wasnt
what logic is this

>>87169165
in the other adaptations of death note, light was a smart handsome college boi, in this he's an angry beta school shooter dropout

>>87169175

Because L, despite being played by a nigger, acted pretty much like the character from the manga and anime, and made the whole autistic thing believable somewhat.

Meanwhile Light in the movie have nothing in common with the character.

>>87169175
i think the L casting wasn't good, but light was way worse in comparison. i think the actor for L did a good job, but he doesn't look nearly weird enough

>>87169203
script =/= casting dumb redditor

>itt: trying too hard is good acting

>>87169192

Well, it's for an american audience and american protagonists usually are portrayed as the underdogs, the outsiders, the losers that eventually get to rise to the top. It's the whole american dream of anyone being able to make their own luck.

>>87169240
yeah, that's fair enough desu

>>87168638
Death has to be the most retarded western remake in history.
Horrible script and every main actor terribly miscast.
I wonder what goes wrong with Netflix, and if they're trying to bankrupt the company on purpose.

>>87169175
Blacks have a higher tendency to be turbo weeks than whites. All black guys I know grew up watching Inuyasha and DBZ, 6 of them are weeb as fuck. My white friends, I've got like 2. So seeing a black guy being autistic with a Japanese handler speaking Japanese and being a weirdo seems more natural to me than if a white guy was in the same exact role.

>>87169270
this has to be the worst excuse for a miscast in the history of excuses

>>87169270
>turbo weebs

>>87169287
It's only miscast because you don't like forced diversity though. I thought he was fitting. Also bear in mind he was an orphan in a weird experiment to produce genius kids, and Watari took him under his wing and then took him to Japan. The character of L could've been any race under the sun, and you're just pissed because that race isn't white like everyone else in the film.

>>87169341
>its only miscast because he doesnt look like the source material at all
fuck off back to /got/

>>87168638
ooga booga

>>87168638
All movies have to have at least one black main character now or they get shut down by the diversity police.
Interestingly this only applies to black people. Nobody cares if you don't have any mexicans, asians, or arabs.
And for every ginger you have, you have to have an extra black person. Which is why they always replace gingers first.

>>87168638
A black person can play a white character and that's OK.

A white person tries to play a character of color and the universe implodes.

Why?

>>87168638
Why was the movie so fucking awful? The only person that was correctly cast was Willem Dafoe

/tv/ becomes so fucking cancerous when it comes to defending niggers miscast. I've only seen one thread about this shitty movie on /pol/ for the whole time and it didn't even reach the limit. It's not some /pol/-psyop if people are dissatisfied with a nigger playing L of all things.

>>87169374
All the characters were miscast then because none of them are fucking Japanese. Watari is literally the only accurate portrayal by your logic. This is an Americanized adaptation. Black people aren't a weird thing to see over here. God forbid at least one black guy snuck into your favorite manga when America got it's hands on it.

>>87169462
almost every character in this movie was a white person playing asian characters, and nobody screeched about it

Watari wasn't Japanese in the show or the manga, so he's miscast as well.

>>87169481
The fact that it's solely because he's a nigger and not because his performance was bad or anything is what makes you a retarded though. This nigger easily gave the best performance of you actually watched the film, bud.

Misa was the worst casted and worst written.

L and Ryuk are the best things about the film

>>87169560
Oh well. It's almost like it's it's own thing and not to be scrutinized for not following the manga.

Best Part of movie, I never watched the cartoon but he is my favourite character in this adaption.

>>87169636
I think most people criticize it cause it's shit, not cause it deviated race wise.

The reason why the show was great, it's cause L and Light were two geniuses that competed with one another. It was really fun to see them outsmart one another.

Where were the mind games in this movie? The only plan that actually happened was the autist Light Turner wrote what he wanted to happen in the Death Note and it came true.

>>87168735
this. he was actually great in it

>>87169631
What? Ryuk was butchered hard. Instead of being neutral he was an evil chaos god who goaded Light into murder. He even wanted to kill Light because he didn't murder enough and always wanted Light to hand the notebook to someone who wanted to murder even more.

Why?

>>87169664
All I ever said was his performance was good. Way to project your disdain for blacks and people who are fine with them some more.
>>87169626
>everyone
>multiple people it saying it was an alright flick and L and Ryuk were the better parts of it
>I'm projecting

I thought the L guy did good. He's black but he did a good performance so I'm not seething at the mouth like you guys. And Ryuk was my favorite, L was my second. Fuck outta here.

Netflix is so incompetent in their casting it's practically comedy.
I can't wait for the Witcher.

>>87168638
He was actually pretty good, until they made him spaz out at Light's house. That was totally uncharacteristic.

>Anime: Hmm... I am 7% sure that Light Yagami is Kira. No matter how small the lead we must follow it.

>Movie: AYO YO BITCH ASS SON IS KIRA CANT YOU SEE CUH? TEAR THIS SHIT UP

>>87169776
Yes, Ryuk wasn't completely like the Manga/Anime adaptation, but he was still the most entertaining thing about the film next to L, Ryuk stole every scene he was in.

>>87169728
I actually preferred a normie getting the book though. Your argument is all up to taste. The fact that Light was losing his shit and everything was falling down around him was interesting to see. Also, they had so little time to get the plot moving I doubt they could had mind games like you suggest without sacrificing other key scenes. Light did act smart, with his Watari plan, and his final scheme to save his life/clear his name. Again, from the perspective of a only slightly smarter than normal teen.

>Ryuk is literally Green Goblin
EBIN SIMBLY EBIN

>>87169573
It was already shit with westeners being cast. The nigger was just adding insult to injury.

>>87169829
Unironically this.

>>87169865
I don't see the reason why Ryuk was in this movie, he didn't do anything except provoke Light to murder which Mia already did. In the anime Ryuk explains the notebook to Light and is an extension of the audience where he just wants to be entertained and leads Light to doing that, not murder for sake of murder. Better role for him.

>>87169951
Except there were plenty of "western" people already in the manga and the show.

>>87169776
In my opinion, the notebook is Ryuks, and he is still a death good, but he is something skin to Discord and the goldnen apple, and he gets off to chaos and destruction. It's implied that he clearly has been giving the notebook to people prior to Light, and he isn't anything special. Just another malleable human for Ryuk to have fun with.

>>87169003

Not him, but i can think of a couple.

>light panics when finding out his name was written in the notebook and doesnt just burn the page himself
>light writes that mia would take the notebook, despite wanting to use it as a test of her love. It made no sense

Then there is the smaller shit that arent plotholes but were poor choices.

>Light does everything but say 'im kira' during his encounter with L
>"Lord Kira" random save
>lights dad finds out and is apparently ok with it
>'ambiguous' ending in case it does well enough for a sequel

>>87168638
Light was just as bad.

>>87169915
So you like shit, then?

>>87168638
He was good when he was acting like L.

I don't know what the fuck happened in the second half.

Westwashing must stop

>>87169829
L and Light both love their father figures a fuckton, Light flips his shit on Mia for even suggesting killing his dad. Meanwhile Watari fucking disappears and L can only assume he's dead or going to die. Of course he was going to flip because Light made that shit personal and he needed to stop him before Watari was found dead. How is the weight of this situation too hard for you to understand?

>>87169981
>Except there were plenty of "western" people already in the manga and the show.

And they were evidently the worst part of it. Should have given the director a hint.

I literally refuse to believe that anyone that isn't racist and watched the movie would have a bigger problem with L's casting than with Light's.

Mia was showing to be a better use of the book than Light, Ryuk's disdain for his being a pussy only made this more apparent. Ryuk was probably planning to give her the book when Light gave it up.

>>87168714

It didn't have to be for him to still have easily to best one in the film.

Why didn't Mia kill Light's dad along with the FBI agents?

>>87170008
He couldn't burn the page because he was running from the cops and L and only had the time to write the coma/Mia death shit in the book. At least in this way he was sure to have it burned and not be caught because he had to stop for a minute. Not to mention he didn't just have a lighter or anything on him at the time.

And with the Mia test of love, I'm pretty sure he just bullshitted the whole freakout on the ferris wheel to stall her.

>>87169341
>weird experiment to produce genius kids

There would be no black children in such an experiment. Were they trying to fail?

>>87170104
L was the worst part of it?

>>87170269
>only had time to come up with and write a page long master plan
>didn't have time to burn a page

>he didn't have a lighter
then how was he planning on burning wataris page

>>87170152
Is it hard to think that keeping her smitten by his side than a loose end who knew literally everything of his Kira shit? He was better to keep her a friend than an enemy.

>>87170265
Because then Light would've probably fucking left her and have taken the book. If your dad died you wouldn't want some bitch nagging you. Why would she risk distancing herself from Light before she got the book?

WE WUZ DETECTIVE KANGZ

>>87170310
So he did have a lighter, let's say. He still had cops sprawling after him and he couldn't just burn his page. He'd get caught with the book and he'd be finished. His plan ensured he'd be innocent, and he literally had to start sprinting as soon as he stopped writing. Even if he had that lighter he couldn't stop for a second.

>>87170510
You sound retarded.

>>87170126
I've never been bothered by a nose this bad. He could improve a lot with a nosejob

>>87170538
I just don't see how it's a problem he waited to burn the page if he already wh
Rote it would burn when mia died. He was ensured survival unless she burned her page, which was impossible given the small frame she had.

>>87168714
>Same reason all the other Asian characters were recast as white

blatant racism?

>>87170666
He wasn't ensured survival, if he didn't manage to outrun the entire Seattle police then he wouldn't get to Mia and the ferris wheel and then Mias condition for death would be physically impossible and she would die of a heart attack, meanwhile Light would be in a jailcell just waiting until midnight when he dies. So his genius plan hinged on him hauling ass away from the police and he was even saved by a deus ex machine plank man knocking out L.
