what went wrong?

Pretty good as far as comic book movies go

All the Light vs L mind games weren't fleshed out and that's what really made the anime series great. Plus Anime Light is a genius sociopath while Netflix Light is a whiny little bitch.

>>87360674

Nothing. Pissing off weebs will always be right.

they turned a season of american horror story into a movie

Knowing Netflix, there was executive meddling to make Turner more relatable to American teenagers. Yagami has always acted like an adult.

>>87360674
they made a cat and mouse thriller with no thrills or cat and mousing

>>87360698

That girly as scream when Ryuk showed up

Mia was more like Light than he was

Main character was dumb instead of smart. Also Ryuk was supposed to be just an onlooker, not take action.

>>87362226

That was just Adam Wingard 80's wanking (again) to Bruce Campbell in Evil Dead 2. Everything from Light running around and screaming to the WHOOSH camera movements and stuff getting knocked over.

This movie definitely had quite a good look to it, but then again Adam Wingard has a knack for that.

I've never seen the anime but I'm familiar with the main characters and basic plot thanks to 4chan and Wikipedia. I don't know why weebs thought Netflix was going to compress a 37 episode cartoon into a 90 minute movie faithfully. Then again, weebs tend to be uncompromising spergs.

I thought the movie was pretty good. Despite the background material they gave L, he seemed a bit underdeveloped. Mia was underdeveloped, too. Why was she such a psychopath? Bad home life? The movie never tells us.

It was a little strange how it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, too, as if Netflix expects to make a sequel. I doubt that will happen, though.

>>87360674
i didnt mind it. although I went in expecting trash it wasnt a bad take on the story.

What a pleb. If you think that only weebs think this movie is shit, then you don't really know any people outside the internet. The great mayority of people thought it was shit, because it was. It was a movie made for teenagers. Which is funny, cause the anime was made for teenagers too, but somehow it was miles and miles more smart. Maybe japanesse teenagers are smarter and less ridiculous than american teenagers.

>>87360856

Why?

margaret qualley not showing her pusy

>hi mia i know we just "met" for the first time but wanna see me kill people?
I swear out of everything that was the most bullshit

>>87365586
Because americans learn everything from their movies.

>>87360674
light is supposed to be an over achiever because the whole point is to see a kid who does everything right try to handle the death note, in this remake light was some kind of emo + ruyk didnt even have a place in this story, he could just aswell not even have been in the movie at all and it wouldnt have made a difference + they spend too much time explaing the book and no story had time to happen + acting was painful + lights dads haircut looked ridiculous

>>87365682
a girl that hot walks up to me and im doing literally anything i can to keep her attention idc

>>87360674

I tried to watch this without witjout seeing the anime first. I turned it off about 10 mins in when that demon showed up.

I was pretty bad, like constant cringe bad. I felt like I was most likeley completely missing out on why the source material is supposed to be so great so turned it off and watched the first episode of the anime series instead.

shitty acting especially by the nigger

Why didn't Light just use Watari to kill L?

>>87366586
no, there is a sequel coming.
He killed his dad

Wouldn't mind a sequel with a solid 3 year time skip.

>>87366628
He wouldn't do that

>>87366671
of course the anime L wouldn't do that,
this is the american L, a spastic retard who is angry, and he is thinking "an eye for an eye"

>>87362273

When did Ryuk take action?

>>87364116
>I don't know why weebs thought Netflix was going to compress a 37 episode cartoon into a 90 minute movie faithfully.

They didn't. They knew it was going to suck, and frankly I think they're happy they have something to complain about.

>Light is supposed to be a genius
>He's an idiot until he makes the final note

>>87366625
Because "Watari buys a gun and murders L when he's sleeping" doesn't make for a very good movie.

>>87366871
or an anime.
I mean, couldn't Light make someone in the investigation team kill L and then commit suicide?

Why wouldn't?
Last cashgrab I could think of is Gosthbusters, is the same exact background idea.

"Grab an old VERY popular franchise, and make a movie to cash on those fans."
Except they never ever take old fans into account, only try to make NEW fans based on what they "think" new fans will like to see in this old VERY popular franchise.

i normally dont hate nat wolff but he was so whiny and made light even more of a bitch

No, because he didn't know any of their names. They used aliases.

>>87360856
>relatable
First thing Yagami does when he finds the Death Note is laugh and put it down again.
Turner picks it up and pretty much immediately executes one of his classmates for bullying someone and then goes up to the girl he likes and spergs out over his notebook which kills people.
Yagami takes a lot longer to use it and when he does it's a criminal that is actively putting many lives at risk and is likely to die anyway.
One is a lot more relatable than the other

why are weebs so confused by the concept of an adaptation?

>>87367565
Right. The whiny white boy is more relatable than the zipperhead sociopath

It's sad that the only defense people have for this piece of garbage is "fucking weebs!".

i actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

i loved death note when i was 13 and getting into anime. but if you rewatch the series now it's pretty fucking shit. death note was by no means a bad film and probably one of the best anime adaptations.

why can't japan into live action anime adaptations?

death note looks like citizen kane compared to this

>>87367872
He deduced that she was a sociopath from the one line she has where she said she was glad that the bully was dead.

It's good writing.

>>87366597
I felt that the High School setting and Light's background and motivation was done pretty well and worked within the context of a 90 minute movie.
It all fell apart when he immediately tells Mia about it and then spends the rest of the movie in moral dilemma about using it until the end where out of nowhere he "planned it all along" because he was good at doing homework

I know nothing about the series prior to watching he movie and liked it. I recognized Ryuk from randomly weeb shit on the web. I thought it was enjoyable and felt like Donnie Darko/final destination/ and that movie with kids that get powers which name is escaping me.

>>87366945
>couldn't Light make someone in the investigation team kill L and then commit suicide?
No. The japanese version has much stricter rules about what you can make someone else do. The death note also does it's best to mitigate collateral damage. If you wrote in that some guy goes on a shooting spree before shooting himself he would probably just die of a heart attack unless you were very specific and write in all the people who get shot into the death note as well.

>>87368063
>that movie with kids that get powers

this shit right here. Something so simple that simply defeats the magnitude of what kira is and what he's doing.

how fucking pathetic are you? have you even watched the japanese live action media? it's awful. i'll rewatch death note 2017 before ever watching the jap films again or the tv show for the first time.

>>87360674
If it was an adaptation, it changed too many things for either no benefit or to the film's detriment.

If it was its own thing, it kept too many things the same.

You know what I want to know that wasn't mentioned in the anime? What happens if you misspell the cause of death, or just make it random gibberish? Like Jack Peterson dies of dsadadas or dies of dicipatation

I think everything started going down hill when anime was invented.

complete fucking moron for most of the film killing bad dudes he finds online. all of a sudden when the plot call for it his character changes and hes a super genius who delicately constructs a super contrived plan on the fly as he is being hunted.
they needed to show that he was capable of this earlier on. pretty basic really, i dont know how they missed it

>>87366625
There's a rule that says that nobody other than the person whose name you write can die from events caused by the Death Note.

>>87367215
for all of /tv/s complaining L was probably the least bad part of this terrible terrible film

>>87374156
Said in the cartoon that if the method of death was impossible, I.e. killing yourself in Paris within the hour while living in Japan, youd just die of heart attack within 60 seconds.
So, saying Paul Blart eats a huge spadoodlin while riding on a jumbrochoonie into a snagglepop probably results in a heart attack.

>>87367215

He seems like the only actor in the cast who actually watched the Death Note anime and had any idea how to move, talk and pose like his character. He even had the eye movements down. Granted, the "virgin run" looks funny, but some stuff that works in animation doesn't translate well to live action.

Why was Light even upset that Mia died? She straight-up turns against him at the dance by writing his name in the book in an attempt to force him to give her the Death Note, and this is AFTER she was ready to kill his dad. She then acts like a total cunt on the ferris wheel (GIVE ME MY FUCKING BOOK) and earns her death.

Why any dude would waste any tears over a chick like that, I have no idea.

>>87380477
>which had nothing of the sort in the original material.

Misa did all that in the original. She even did the whole "I'll kill anyone that dates(fucks) you(Light)". Light in the Netflix adaptation is Misa.

>>87375568
>complete fucking moron

people are not giving this version of light credit enough, he was doing shit during all the movie like earning money by making the homework of other students, trying to create the ''Kira'' persona as a way to mislead the police into thinking that the killer is in another country, he thought a plan involving Watari and burning the page, etc

>>87360674
>casted a nigger
Didn't watch it.

>>87380593

Probably because he felt responsible for the whole thing. If he had never told her about the book, she'd still be alive.

>>87380593
>Why was Light even upset that Mia died?

he was not, he just hat to be her ''boyfriend'' untill the very end because part of what he wrote about Mia dying was ''... and her boyfriend survives the fall...''

so at the end he pretended to really love her just to live

>>87375568

>killing bad dudes he finds online

In the movie, Light even says "Are they bad just because the internet says they're bad? How do we know for sure?" He makes dumb choices, but he's also got moments of being thoughtful.

>>87380805

Pretty much. From the moment she took control of the book from Light, Light was like "Dis bitch has got to go." He just led her on to get her where he wanted, kinda like she did to him first.

>>87366735
didnt he kill someone himself and also constantly influenced lights thinking?

>>87380805
>>87380872
Yeah but when he's in the hospital at the end he's thinking about her as if he regrets having to kill her.

I dunno man, I'd have zero regrets about offing a girl who acted like that. She turned into a selfish, psychotic bitch REALLY fast.
