what the fuck do you mean his name is “Light Turner” in the netflix adaptation

Can’t help but notice that a LOT of focus is being put on the ownership rules in these Death Note ad break bumpers right now

who are these two chucklefucks

is this the first proper fight scene of the whole show?

jesus christ light was socking him necessary?

L loses one (1) time and immediately falls into a depressive episode

watched the trailer for Netflix’s Death Note and I immediately understand why people fucking hated it lol

maybe I’ll check it out, out of curiosity, after I finish the anime

prolly not tho

the existence of lawlight as a ship is funny to me because as far as i can tell the only reason L would ever be with Light is as a manipulation tactic to get Light to reveal himself as Kira. Light would be fully aware of of this, and would only play along to seem like he isn’t suspicious, a fact that L would ALSO be fully aware of

Which is actually a genuinely hilarious ship dynamic now that I think of it and I hope at least some of the shippers see it that way but idk because I’ve never interacted with the fandom, just seen some terms and names

btw while im still thinking of it. the way L had Misa imprisoned is fucking bananas. i mean i understand the logic of it given what they knew of her powers but it was just cruel. which doesn’t really shock me, frankly. i’ve said before, i really don’t think L is really all THAT superior to Light in terms of morality

Okay so. That was an INSANE way to transition the story into a completely different format. I could be wrong and Light could get the note back the next day, but assuming it lasts for at least a couple episodes, which seems way more likely given the end of the episode…

They have fundamentally shifted the whole show. Light is no longer a villainous character. If anything, he seems actively more heroic than he did prior to obtaining the Death Note, likely due to him still remembering all the lies he told to maintain his cover as Kira, except as, from his perspective, the truth now. He’s always being the protagonist, but, at least for now, he also seems to be a much more traditional hero. At least, by the standards of this show

Simultaneously, L’s situation is even more complex. He clearly still suspects Light, hence the chain, but we the audience know that the current Kira is not Light, and that Light and L will both be investigating the current Kira, whose identity is not revealed, making L’s role in the story… Complicated.

It also fundamentally shifts the nature of the show. Unless I learn who the new Kira is in the next episode, it’s basically a more traditional whodunit. We have a list of individuals, one of which logically must be the killer. Like the protagonist (Light) and the, for lack of a better term to describing his current narrative status, deuteragonist (L), I do not know who the killer is. This is obviously very different from the dynamic between the audience and the original Kira.

Like I said, I felt a shakeup coming on. And boy did they deliver

LMFAOOOOOO L AND LIGHT ARE CHAINED TOGETHER
