    My biggest issue with the movie is that light isn’t the driver of his plot. He does things reluctantly, mia doesn’t want him to stop, ryuk doesn’t want him to stop, and both threaten him if he ever does. In the original, he can stop at any point without consequences, he will lose his memory of it, all evidence would be gone. He chooses not to because of his ideals.
    In this one, halfway through, he wants to stop, but can’t anymore. This character is trapped by the plot, the anime light controls the plot

  • @4u5t
    @4u5t 6 років тому +431

    Kira being an average kid is by far the worse decision you could make, and destroys the entire plot of the story. The fact that in the anime it was picked up by a genius teenager, with strong views on justice in the world, who also has sociopathic qualities drives the entire narrative about the perfect criminal who is almost impossible to catch, someone that requires the best detective to pursue him. He is still relatable as a young high schooler. He's even relatable to young people who look at the world and wish they could do something about all the injustice. But the fact that in the movie they made him so unintelligent and unconfident ruined everything. They made him the exact opposite of what the character is supposed to be. They made him a little bitch. He's the opposite cunning. He's the opposite of careful. He tells a girl he just met because about the Death Note because he's that desperate for this girl. He blatantly tells L he's Kira when he's confronted. It's so god damn bad. They couldn't have made him that straight A, popular, perfect kid (who's secretly a sociopath with a god-complex) with a loving family at home, could they? Because that's too UNORDINARY, and UNRELATABLE! We have to make him an edgy, cringey teen who gets bullied at school, a-a-and also HIS MOM WAS KILLED BY A CRIMINAL! Gotta get that generic UNDERDOG STORY! Having Light being a perfect, privileged person definitely wasn't a main trope in the source material AT ALL!!!
    Also, L is bad. He's shit. He was somewhat okay at first. But he turned into this emotional trainwreck. Whatever happened to L being cool and calm in every. single. situation up to his death? At the worst he seemed fascinated when surprising/unfortunate things happened. That's it. It's almost as if L being almost completely emotionless in the anime was a BIG PART OF HIS CHARACTER OR SOMETHING. But that's okay. Because they made him black, and dress up like Rick Owens, and that's cool and progressive.
    'Mia' was a psychopath who ended up being more like Kira than Light in this movie. Nothing like the original Misa who was merely a pawn in Kira's game. And she ended up knowing it, and didn't give a shit; because she was someone so completely obsessed with Kira that she'd do anything for him.
    Fuck this movie. It didn't get a single character right.

    You know, this movie wouldn't be as hated as it is if it was just a standalone original story set in the Death Note universe. Just change the names, the look of the shinigami, add a touch of Final Destination, and everything would be fine. Instead, it had to be a westernized adaptation of the original story.

      Bad acting, bad cinematography, the plot is a mess, there are too many plot holes, character development is rushed and makes no sense, a ton of wasted potential, the philosophy and message make no sense, a lot of the action is quite bland and boring, etc.

      Yeah, something like "A Movie set in the DEATH NOTE UNIVERSE" would be better at least. Turn "Light Turner" to "Mike Turner," have him piggy back on the success of KIRA in-universe, something like that.
      The way they did Light here does no justice to the character. And even the changes to the character don't make him interesting as a protagonist on his own.

He always kept a cool head and was a complete badass. In the movie on the other hand... I don't think that I have to further go into this. But I guess the video already went into that, it still annoys me somewhat.
    I also think that the first use of the death note was way better in the anime.
    Btw I also agree with the guy who said, that it wouldn't be hated as much if it was a standalone story, so yeah kudos to that guy I guess

    That scene where Light refuses to kill his father and that's how L figures it out, would make more sense if the conference that was done by L where he eggs Kira on to kill him, instead it was a random person taunting Kira. Says their name and all and they die then when the dad is put out there, when he doesn't die, L could put it together that the dad and Kira are connected somehow, which would lead L to suspect Light

    • @monkeykingeater

      Bairinde It's derived as a female equivalent to Ciaran, which roughly translates as "dark one". "Ciar" means dark, "-an" is a common suffix in Irish male names. Ciara is a modern name, invented in the twentieth century, there's no exclusively feminine suffixes in Irish given names I can think of, so the "-a" is likely taken from Italian, where it usually denotes a feminine name. Anyway, my point is you're basically right and the movie isn't.

    I guess I didn’t realize it really until this review, but the characters in this adaptation say “fuck” a lot. It makes Light and Kira sound stupid, improper, and weak. I try to let this movie stand (or more accurately, collapse) on its own merits, but that is very inappropriate for Light and Misa’s characters. Misa is a public icon that sells herself on her innocent appearance. Light is a model citizen recognized as a genius. Either of them swearing like sailors would sully their public faces. It’s a seemingly minor detail, but it does characterize them.

    I think since you hadn't really seen the Anime your review was a bit more refreshing, as nearly everyone else is just comparing it to the original and how/why it's flawed. Which is a valid argument, but makes all their reviews very similar, since you hadn't seen the original, your focusing on why this adaptation falls flat on its face even when the original (is mostly) not considered.

      To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the 2017 Death Note movie. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Light's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike the 2017 Death Note movie truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Light's existential catchphrase “AHHHHHHHHHHHH,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Adam Wingard's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
      And yes, by the way, I DO have a Death Note 2017 tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

    I'd like to think they could've handled L expertly by having him be played by some actual celebrity, and when pressed for his name he'd give said celebrity's name. This would've been a superior change to the source material.
    See, a point of contention in the anime was that L gave up the name of some rockstar, so that if Light wrote his name down he'd end up killing the rockstar instead. Thing is, in the anime L looks nothing like the rockstar.

    • @STORMB999
      @STORMB999 5 років тому +21

      That was the whole point though. L took the name of someone famous so Light could only think of the rockstar's face when writing it down so if Light were to try and kill L by said name, L would have evidence that Light is Kira.
      If L looked like the rockstar, Light may have thought of L's face while writing the name and nothing would have happened.

    What annoyed me (as side form everything) was why didn't he just have Watari kill L? He had him under his control, Sure you could say that you can't have someone kill under your control but didn't mia do it with the agents? Or even light at the end having that plan of people passing the note killing until he woke up. Even if he couldn't get watari to poison L or shoot him, couldn't he have gotten some other agent to do it or even someone to blow themselves up with L in next to them? I can't remember all of the rules in the anime/manga but i don't believe there was one in the movie. If there was both light and mia got others to kill for them by writing in the book so why couldn't watari just shoot him....

      The manga has 2 rules explicitly preventing the Death Note from killing anyone whose name isn't also written in the notebook. The second one even clarifies "This is to ensure other lives are not influenced."
      This movie, however, clearly doesn't have such a rule, since there's quite a few collateral kills even before Mia does that thing with the agents. Or the rules preventing full-blown mind control. So yeah, no reason they couldn't have Watari kill L.

  • @hieronymusboss7705

    5:50 You know, this scene shows just a glimmer of what could've been. They could have made the American Light a misfit genius. He actually scores a win here by getting into the bullies head. They could've totally ran with that - he likes to play mental games and can dominate people with his words, despite being physically unintimidating. He has a look of viciousness in his eyes here. He's nervous, and unsure if it'll work, but that took some balls. Hence why the cheerleader got a good laugh, because the bully had been taken down a peg with just a few words.
    But alas, right after he scores a win, he shows himself to be a phaggut by rules-lawyering the bully, pointing out that the bully is a chad but will be punished for being a chad.
    C'mon Light, that's some pathetic shit.
    He's nothing like the anime Light, but they still could've written a decent alternative, and they chose not to.

    Misa in the anime is such a lovable character, she is smart(kinda) but only to reach her goal which is to make Light her boyfriend(yes! she’s obsessive). On the flip side Light doesn’t care about her and sees her as a burden, so he threatened that L will get them both making her own Death God commit suicide in order to save her life. The whole process of the plot in the movie makes no sense between the two, they don’t have chemistry and Misa is utterly disgusted by Light mere presence. The legit thought of going to L and trying to convince him to team up shatters what little tension that remained in the story of cat and mouse between Kira and the police. Oh! And not mention the fact he is a corrupt person who sells homework’s and has the audacity to talk about being a god who serves justice. This movie is trash and should remain in the darkest voids of history.

    He doesn't make an argument that the principal should go after the bullies. Because they (principal, some teacher and a nurse) have no fucking clue that there are bullies responsible for beating up Light. Mia told them that Light knocked himself out on a pole so principal thinks he is looking at a cheater with no space awareness and not at a bullied cheater.
    Which makes Light and his rethoric absolutely moronic and makes him a type of person who can't even stand up for himself let alone for others.

    Origin of the name Kira/Kiara:
    Feminine form of Kieran, an Anglicized form of the Irish Ciarán, which is derived from the Gaelic ciar (black) and the diminutive suffix -an: hence, "little dark one." The name was originally bestowed upon those babies born with dark hair or a dark complexion.
    From Old Irish cíar (“dark”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱēy(w)-, *ḱyē(w)- (“grey, dark”). Further cognates are Old Novgorodian хѣрь (xěrĭ, “gray cloth”) and Old English hār (“grey-haired”).

    The fact that original Light doesn't even need to overtly talk about his philosophy and it shows through his actions and motivations, in comparison to Whiny McSneezyface in the American adaptation who literally says it to the principal, probably says a lot about the expectations of the director how American audiences' intelligence.
