Comment on Superman/Clark Kent is actually worse than Light Yagami/Kira when it comes to lying.

    how can it be, it’s a musical. There’s only like 3 good ones, Moulin Rouge, Nightmare Before Christmas… and maybe the weird al one?

      Have you watched “The man who didnt like musicals” the musical?

        nope, is the music good and not poppy slop like most other musicals, and if the music is good, is it actually funny at the same time?

        That’s what I find it difficult to enjoy about musicals, either it’s unfunny or really broad humour or the music is too shitty.

  he uses the deathnote in an infantile manner and his sense of justice is juvenile.

  Light was a teenager. He’s always lived an easy sheltered life under the care of his parents. He’s lacking any real life experience. In my mind, his juvenile sense of justice is right in line with someone of that immaturity especially given the power he got from the Death Note. We get to see a great contrast when Light’s father is given the power of the Death Note, and immediately chooses to cut his own life in half to get the eyes. The father understands self sacrifice and paying the price to protect those he loves.

    sure thing. It’s just combining that with the “I smelt the onion in his farts, that only grows in the nagasaki region” style writing of “smart, observant people” makes the show kinda silly , while the tone is suuuuper serious about everything.

    I watched it out of curiosity and to practice my spanish (netflix dub). In a way I’m glad I gave it a miss in its heyday when I was at uni.

      I don’t think that’s out-of-place either for the story. Much like the difference between Light and his father, the story is illustrating “book smart” from “street smart”.

      Like so much other modern fiction, Death Note is a variation on the Hero’s Journey trope. In this case, the hero is a composite between L, Near, and Mello.

        who’s who? I thought Light and L were fairly similar in their types of intelligence and both felt book smart.

        how? It just seemed like a typical “antagonist and protagonist are mirrors” with a villain protagonist in Light.

  ironically an idiot.

  This is a take…

    it’s some plot holes/stupid stuff I noticed watching. Here’s a comprehensive list , I can’t remember anything specific because I watched it about a year ago and you know, flippantly.

    tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/…/DeathNote

    One part of my perception of Light is that he expects killing every petty criminal would solve all crime forever and that society would evolve into worship of him or something stupid like that. He does nothing to address actual social ills or people with enormous amounts of power or anything like that. Other similar holes in logic, putting himself in many contrived and risky situations , the final showdown, etc etc.

    Also, the show was very much a product of the post 9/11 world and its views on justice and human rights abuses.
