Why did they make L black

Why did they make L black

(((Hollywood))) always pushes diversity.

Jew and Nig.

Just another Hollywood production. Forget Ghost in the Shell already?

Probably for the sake of realism, with him not having a father and all.

To make him visibly foreign, but not too foreign

They want to keep him a minority like in the manga?

WE

Why the fuck does he still sit like that? They're obviously changing the character enough so that he in no way reflects the source material. Least they could do was make him not sit like a dumbass

It's based in america you retards. Did you want everyone to be Japanese? Black people exist outside of the cuckold porn you watch.

>That weak ass squat

>the smartest person in the world is black
>realism

that's practically just like L in the anime/manga, if not more realistic

maybe his butt hurts

>13%
sheeeiitt

Take one guess, goyim.

because Burgerland, same reason Light is white

...

>They make Light become white
>Nobody say anything
>Make L black
>FUCK THIS FORCED DIVERSITY HIS CHARACTER IS RUINED!!!

jewish people are not white, tyrone.

Why would his butt hurt?

>They make Light become white
>Nobody say anything

under which stone where you living till today? was it comfy at least?

It's probably because the actor for L had a part in a show called Atlanta (directed by Donald Glover iirc) and his character was extremely weird and erratic, I guess someone on the team must have seen that show and thought that he'd fit for L.

I'm honestly more annoyed with Light's change, he just looks like a school shooter, I'd rather have Zach Effron play light than this guy.

This is what cultural appropriation feels like.

It's terrible isn't it. Next time think of that every time you read a manga you haven't paid for.

It shouldn't have been made in the first place.

...

L is European, you're a fag, and the sky is blue

>he just looks like a school shooter, I'd rather have Zach Effron play light than this guy

Yeah, wasn't Light supposed to be good looking?

This version of L is much less calm, shut-in and non-confrontational though, why remove character defining qualities like that yet keep his sit-squat?

I assume that the one thing about him they are keeping is his autsim.

>It's probably because the actor for L had a part in a show called Atlanta (directed by Donald Glover iirc) and his character was extremely weird and erratic, I guess someone on the team must have seen that show and thought that he'd fit for L.

This. His character on Atlanta was hyper eccentric while being incredibly wise and smart.

Light was a literal chad, so it's really bizzare to see the adaption take him all the way to the other side of the spectrum.

He just got out of prison. His ass hurts.

Light was 10/10 looks, intelligence, and athletics, literally the perfect guy, which was a big reason why nobody besides L really suspected him.

>implying Light doesn't look pretty much white anyway
>implying Light becoming a white guy is even close to the level of change of a pasty fuck like L becoming a black guy is

L became N and Light became Lanza, what garbage.

Only slavs are doing it right

This is what they've done with the live Action
>L
>completely different appearance
>actor can pull off the character
>Light
>somewhat different appearance
>completely different character

HEELS TO GROUND CYKA

Us humans are always close to destruction, Life itself is but a series of close calls. I mean, how would you know you were alive unless you knew you could die?

Blacks can be smart, it's just very unlikely.

>"You see Dimitri, when like this you squat, you deduct suspect 20%"

ftfy

WE WUZ GENIUS DETECTIVES

L is still weird, Light is now a loner, he's had the biggest change

L?
you mean nibLa?

Did you think you were being supportive and progressive when you typed this? Just curious.

Because Kira was killing blacks.

was about to make that correction

im 12 btw

Being weird wasn't his only characteristic.

L will probably be fine. Light looks absolutely horrible and looks like a school shooter. What the fuck, he'd be the first person I'd suspect to be Kira.

Why is light white?

If you're hung up on this you should probably grow up. They made the story take place in america. So any race change is fair game at this point.

If this was still in japan then it would certainly be weird.

WE WUZ GENIUZES AND SHIET

and L went from being a loner to doing public speeches.

You're right he was also clever, and a semi-NEET.
Although they're probably gettin rid of that last one to some extent I think he'll be handled closer to the source material than light.

yeah Zach woulda been 10/10 casting

Hard to follow the source material given that upstanding students aren't nearly as respected or looked up to here as they are in Japan.

He hasn't looked like that in 10 years

Realism would be Asian guy being L especially in a city like Seattle or west coast in general. Asians outnumber Blacks in large west coast cities. Not only in pure numbers, but also in intellect side. SAT results have been known for long time.

>Blacks can be smart

HAHAHAHA

He's a little too old to be believably a high schooler by this point, and when he was a high-schooler he was a shitty actor

Light looks white enough

L's blackness or lack of it doesn't really matter much, whether or not they fuck up his characterization is the important part.

On a related note, I thought it was weird that he wears the scarf over his face, since the point in the series kinda was that Kira seeing his face doesn't really matter since he doesn't know L's name.

They can make him a college student

>take the palest human in the anime
>make him black

Light's characterization is fucked up. He's now a teen emo kid whos been bullied a lot. He's also got a cheerleader gf whom he talks alot about death note with. Also he's regretful of his actions.

L's characterization is that of a brash loud young nigga.

Atleast according to the trailer. So yea, not much hope there.

>He's also got a cheerleader gf whom he talks alot about death note with.

was that supposed to be Misa?

Probably.

Light and Dark. Think about it.

Light should have been Asian and L white. And that's just the casting; everything else looks like shit too.
I don't care about representation, but I won't miss the chance to name the Jew. Interesting how diversity is just code for black.

Why is everybody fixated on L being black and not the rest of the cast being white?

...

L never made public speeches or lost his calm demeanor when talking to Light.

Not true at all on the second part. They nearly fist fought when they were chained together.

Light punched first, and even then he was still rather calm about it.

Fucking this. All this asshurt over a black L. I mean look at Misa.
She was a girl who always dressed as a popstar even in normal society, but here she just looks like any other girl.

To piss off racists/Trump voters.

What if the nigga giving the speech is a bait and the real L is expecting him to die in public

Where do you people even come from?

Stop doing this!

...

Maybe, that's pretty much what happened in the original anyway.

Oops, sorry. What I meant to say was:

Fuck niggers! Why do (((they))) have to keep pushing (((their))) diversity.

What I don't get is why was this even made?

Death Note was famous in the mid-2000s because it had one of the few good live-action adaptions to an anime.

I mean if they think they can get it to work with non-Japanese actors(which from the trailer I highly doubt it) then fine, but what's even the point when there's literally nothing wrong with the original?

>black L was a decoy the whole time
>everyone was rused, including us

Diversity points.

>Why did they make L black
Why did they make Light white?

>watch the trailer
>Light: are we really doing the right thing?

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

that's like Sherlock saying "I wish I was wrong"

so out of character.

>le 56%
>white

Theyre going to make him gay too.

>Jews white

>Why did a kike give a kike a leading role

Jeez I dunno, white man keeping you down?

Reminder that Blacks and Hispanics outpopulate Whites in America

Whats even the point of the death note when Burgerstan has capital punishment.

Will they replace the epic chips eating scene with cheetos?

>le ebin jew conspiracy

Both Ls might still retain their core characteristics despite a few liberties Jewlywood took with the characters and setting. Not sure if the majority of Sup Forums are really that shallow or just the summer crew who lack critical thinking skills and parrot the opinions of others to 'fit' in.

For example, , , and this one nigger talking about realism .
White bois on suicide watch.

We complain about the nigger every time this posted, nigger.

Fucking this. Light acts LITERALLY NOTHING like his counterpart.

What made Death Note so good is because Light wasn't some edgelord teenager who was juggling with the concept of good and evil, but a College Student with a MASSIVE resolve and a God complex.

Yet people rather complain about a 5 second clips of a black L.

All the characters were changed drastically. This thread was made to shit on the black guy, just go to the other one
