I was about to get REALLLL UPSET LMFAO
netflix: light yagami is actually white in this series
netflix: also his surname is turner now
me:
things wrong with what we’ve seen/heard about netflix’s Death Note so far
- Whitewashing is bad how many times does this need to be said?
- It’s early to say for certain but there was a ‘misunderstood loner’ vine to Light in the trailer. Light is not a misunderstood loner, he’s a very popular, charismatic, attractive boy who has the chance to shape the world to his designs and takes it. It’s a story about a normal person discovering they are a sociopath and going down the darkest possible path with it, not a story about a misunderstood teen who finds a way to take out his frustrations on people
- It’s being billed as an action film. Death Note is a suspenseful mass murder mystery that stands out in that it tells the audience who committed the crime straight out of the gate. The brilliance of Death Note is not finding out the culprit, but finding out if he’s even stoppable. It’s a story about minds facing off against minds, it’s not an action story.
- There’s a manga, and anime and several Japanese films of this story already. All of them are excellent. Who was actually so incapable of enjoying the various incarnations of this story with a Japanese cast that they were demanding an American remake? Like forreal, who asked for this?
- “Light Turner”
