GreenKnight127 01/12/20 9:07:41 PM #8:	ParanoidObsessive posted... The entire point of Death Note is pretty much to indicate that Light was a fuck up from the beginning. Having the Note didn't change him, it just revealed who he always was, right from the start. He was only the straight-A student who seemed like a good person because that's what society expected him to be, and the socially acceptable mask he wore because he wasn't willing to risk breaking the rules. He wasn't a noble, good person who was slowly turned evil. He was basically a serial killer who figured out a way to put a noble face on his killing so people wouldn't object as strongly (a not-too-dissimilar mentality to the one being espoused by the Joker in The Dark Knight). I mean, you're definitely not wrong. But I think there were more subtleties to it than that. Light was a batshit crazy killer......but his first instinct was to kill bad people. All the bad people. He wanted to better the world. And he could have been a LOT more sadistic than he was. He could have easily written some of the most gruesome, drawn-out, agonizing, torture deaths imaginable for his victims. But he didn't. He usually just let them die from a sudden heart attack. There's something to be said about that. Most high school students would have started torturing and raping people like crazy. Light took out the bad guys with calculated coldbloodedness. He wasn't entirely bad. --- Offensive (according to GameFaqs): sexually explicit, gory, or other obscene content. Different opinions are not offensive unless they contain these elements. <cite>GreenKnight127 posted [p:932842476] in Who was ri...
