As someone who regards Death Note as one of their top three manga series, I felt apprehensive at first, but unlike a lot of people, I still want to give this movie its fair shot. Misa and Ryuk look fine. Light and L much less so. Not even sure where they're taking L in this. Looks like creepy anorexic pale dood translates into masked black man?

I'm still hoping for the best regardless. I at least know this is clearly just a loose adaptation just as many "based on a true story" movies can be while still being good.

I watched a trailer for this yesterday, and idk how I feel about it. L giving a press conference out in the open, Light showing remorse, the girl being the one egging him on. Idk man, feels like they're moving a bit too far from the source material. Like, Light is a straight up sociopath.

It wouldn't have been green lit if Misa were portrayed as Misa in the anime. Not progressive enough for Netflix.

*Mia

But seriously though, not sure if you checked the link, but they legit changed her name from Misa to Mia. I wonder how people feel about that.

They also changed Light Yagami to Light Turner. Probably because Yagami isn't an American sounding name. Imagine similiar reasoning for Misa. Still doesn't really change that Light Turner is Light Yagami or Mia is Misa.

I never said that it does. And Turner still makes me laugh. As I said in the OP I'm still giving this movie a shot, it's just that certain things make me go "uh okaaaaay...."

The posters don't look half bad, but I'm kind of skeptical about the film though. But I am looking forward to William Dafoe playing as Ryuk, that is practically the best casting for a character in Death Note.

I'm pretty sure Ryuk has gotten very little changes in the adaptation. Largely, because I was looking it up on wikipedia and
Warner's studios planned to change the background story of Light Yagami into one of vengeance instead of justice and to remove Shinigami from the story. Black opposed this change, and it had not been green-lit.


Plus there's no real way you can Americanize the Shinigami.
