Ya'll are really, really too butthurt about a twenty second scene


I'll admit your totally right but it would have solved the problem and Light wouldn't have just admitted hes Kira halfway through the movie! L could have figured it out by tracking Lights dad and Kira wouldn't look like such a stupid fuck.

I was talking about the nightclub part.


Sorry. I should probably stop posting if I can't keep these conversation separate. Movie seems like a mess but it was fun posting about it. Sorry if I made this thread as much a mess as it seems I did.

How to Use: X

Suicide is a valid cause of death. Basically, all humans are thought to possess the possibility to commit suicide. It is, therefore, not something unbelievable to think of.
Whether the cause of the individual's death is either a suicide or accident, if the death leads to the death of more than the intended, the person will simply die of a heart attack. This is to ensure that other lives are not influenced.

Literally would not have been able to have collateral damage. At best, people committing suicide in the aftermath from survivors guilt or grieve is as close to collateral as might be allowed to happen.


I knew there was something like that! The writers are just adding random rules for an excuse to use flashy murders. They knew the writing made no sense and tried to cover it up with buckets of fake blood!


Yep. Adding and ignoring and deleting rules as they see fit.

Let me guess it isn't even set in Japan?


nah, he still uses the Kira mantle though so the authorities think he is Japanese and search there. L is the only one who figures out Kira is actually American in this version. He dresses like a ninja because he also figured out Kira uses faces to kill. he's stupid OP at deduction in this and the excuse is that he went to a x-men school for detectives as a kid. think i liked movie L better than movie Light though. Mi(s)a just annoyed me. ryuk was underused.

it was aight.

I'm guessing that's how he got the search warrant

But it's only circumstantial at best. Light could just say he's a senile old man.

I liked it. It was a fun movie. You have to really separate it from the source material because Light Turner is in NO way Light Yagami. If anything, Mia is the closest thing to Light Yagami in this movie.

I think a lot of the problems people have with the rules they lay out can be explained by one change: Ryuk seems to be a singular death god who is somewhat in charge of the Death Note. You can assume that he makes the rules and that he added the one revoke-limitation because it would be funny.

And I'm paraphrasing it, but the best line of the movie was from Mia to Light: "You don't get to act superior for being a pussy."

Ryuk implies that there was another death God when he gives light the book

The last thing I'll say is it was so bad it crossed into funny. It was fun talking about how absurd it was. But if I didn't know how nonsensical it was compared to how seriously the source material played out I don't think I would have enjoyed it.

Ryuk was amazing and the movie is worth it just knowing how much he gets away with. Kudos to Dafoe.

Hated Misa Amane in the original and now Mia Sutton wound up the most competent character in the movie. The only one that doesn't flip flop in motive or personality. Something oddly satisfying about that.

Actually, it's possible, given the wording of a source rule that a death god CAN cancel the effect. They're just under no sort of obligation to and as such almost certainly would not.

A couple of things stood out to ne as odd. Ryuk says no one has managed to write his name in the book, then who wrote the warning not to trust him? It mentioned him specifically by name in the death note itself.

Also, after all the time Light spent controlling people, he thought he could talk Mia out of the thing he was controlling her to do. She really didn't have a choice but to take the book once he offered it to her.

I imagine the idea is that no one's written his name with the intent to kill him.

I would guess that whatever he wrote was conditional. "If Mia takes the Death Note, she will die in this way." Dunno if this would work in the anime, but let's just assume it does in the movie.

Yeah, it was presented like there was only 2 choices, write Light's name, or write nothing, but he took a moment to calm himself and think about it for a moment. Ligt's dad had just assaulted L to protect Light, put a warrant out to arrest him, and Light admitted to killing Watari who was L's father figure. I think he might've seen a 3rd option.

Oh man, can't wait to watch this later. I liked reading the impressions itt.

Sounds as if it's an "okay" movie as long as you separate it from the source material, which is what I plan to do anyway. I just have to prep myself for the scene of Light's first usage of the Death Note. I saw it in a preview and just thinking about that terribly executed scene gives me insta-cringe.

It actually works really well. Light's a little bit too much of a pussy for my tastes but it works.

See, that kind of blows. I loved how Kira was always scheming something all of the damn time in the manga. But I'll still keep an open mind when watching it. At least you guys let us beforehand so I don't get disappointed.

It seems like it's taking a page (heh) from the Japanese drama that came out like 2 years ago.

Light doesn't really start off as Kira. He's sort of bitch made and dumb until the ending, where he seems to fully embrace the role.

It's interesting that both L and Light are alive though. They were definitely planning for a sequel. I hope they get it, if only so I can see how it goes down.

And yeah, Mia was definitely the "true" villain in this adaptation.

It's heavily implied L writes down Light's name at the end. When Ryuk appears at the end and says "you humans are so interesting" Light looks terrified
