Who here was unironically rooting for this ubermensch?

>300 iq
>can't even teach matsuda how to swim

>ubermensch
no just fucking no

I have just started watching the new movie. Did the scriptwriter smoke Final Destination?

Under 20yo edgelords, that's who.

>rye-ook

I was rooting for L's autism, but then he died, oh well.

I stopped as soon as he killed Lind L Tailor

I sort of stopped rooting as soon as I got toward the end.

all the way through, he killed himself in the end out of recklessness which was really stupid

The motivations of those who want to catch him is pure pleasure not justice. L , near , and Mello all enjoyed the game of cat and mouse more than anything, they weren't motivated by justice or some higher purpose, so it's very hard not sympathise with Light. Most of human history is populated by powerful men that did horrible crimes, changed history and even became heroes in the end (Stalin, Cromwell, Napoleon, Caesar etc.). The way they cached him in the end was pure bullshittiery for the sake of plot, and Near almost certainly cheated by putting Mikami's name on the Death Note, after they retrieved it from the gym. So there were not real "good guys" opposing Light, just opportunistic mercenaries like L,N and M.

Remember L calling him childish?

the ending was so fucking depressing
anime was worse

>opportunistic mercenaries
No way, L and Mello risked and sacrificed their lives. They worked for justice.

Me. I wanted for him to win only to realize his perfect wkrld would end when he did.

>depressing
It was pure joy, faggy Light showing his real pathetic face.

Wammy's house is seigi as fuck you nerd.

Misa pls

lol, read the last chapter of the manga, there is a flashback where L explains to the orphanage kids that he is motivated by interest, not justice and that he doesn't pick up cases he doesn't find interesting. The same is true for Near, and Mello. L never risked his life completely until the Lind L Taylor murder, if he was killed then instead of Taylor, no one could have catched Kira, even if he was someone twice as smart as L, and L knew it. As for Mello he never expected Takada to have a death note page with her, so his death was unexpected, and it was not a total self-sacrifice.

kill yourself. maybe a slap in the face would make you get it. light was the one who was right.

dumb frogposter

>99% kills are people already in prison for years or awaiting death sentence
>other 1% are innocent people who were just doing their job
>m-muh god amongst men
Entirely fucking useless. Glad he got fucked.

>motivated by interesting
>he doesn't pick up cases he doesn't find interesting
You are not understanding the characters at all. They picked the cases no one else could resolve. But yeah of course they enjoyed it.

That bit was thrown in specifically to make the audience turn against Light because the author wanted his loss to come off as the 'correct' ending.

L put his life on the line because there was no way he could win without that

>3000 iq
>beaten by a toddler
I am convinced the series gave up after the event that happenned in the middle. The authors pretty much confirmed this.

cause the white boi got beat yo

I rooted for him but I later realized he kept on doing a lot of shit early on that could've gotten him caught. If he didn't run into Naomi he'd already be fucked.

How can I root for him when half of the series is him trying to fix the stupid mistakes he made in the other half?

What mistakes did Light made? All Light mistakes were actually Misa's or Mikami's.

Letting L know about him being able to control the time of death, letting L know about him being able to control actions before death, making it obvious to know that he had information only people from the police would have, killing the FBI guy in a place full of cameras so L could check them and notice that Kira was probably in the train by looking at his reaction, letting everyone know about the existence of the notebook.

revealing his location by killing off a totally not-fake L on TV

>letting L know about x
Not mistakes, it was a trap so Light could meet L. And it worked.

>letting everyone know about the existence of the notebook
Misa's fault. But it was used to prove his innocence thanks to the fake rules.

Light's only mistakes were trusting Misa and Mikami.

>Not mistakes, it was a trap so Light could meet L
No, that wasn't what Light was thinking at that time, he only wanted to play with him because he was cocky. Light was really intelligent but he was arrogant and if not for Ryuk he would have been caught by the FBI agent.

>toddler
Near's age by the end of the manga is the same as Light's age in the beginning. You are confused because of their designs.

Why was that movie so gory?

>cheating
Everything's fair in love and war

>he only wanted to play with him because he was cocky
He wanted to play with him because he wanted to kill him.

>Loses Watari (lol) because of Light and his death-obsessed slut of a girlfriend
>Goes into Light's house nigging out and waving a gun around and threatening Light with no evidence.
>Steals a cop car and chases Light in an attempt to apprehend him.
>Screams, cries and does other stupid shit that L would never do.

What did ((((they)))) mean by this?

You forgot to mention that L and Watari are a gay couple.

He could have done it without driving himself into a corner several times

He's not an übermensch, at all.

>make L black
>write him as a black would act

hmmm....

lolwut

You can't be serious, you aren't trying to ruse me are you? That's almost as dumb as Watari's full name being Watari.

It helps that the toddler is also somehow 3000 iq+ so the playing field is a lot more equal but still, if he hadn't acted like a retarded manchild and didn't take L's bait he could've kept his identity secret easily. He has a literal death god and a supernatural murder book on his side and the cops have no intel on either of those. He could time the deaths randomly and run the cops in circles but his pride fucked him when he took L's bait and basically announced his occupation and location.

Don't forget that stupidass lullaby.

>He could have done it without driving himself into a corner several times
Not without the shinigami eyes and Misa gave him several problems.

>Not mistakes, it was a trap so Light could meet L.
Light pls
You totally thought you killed L on TV and you were also pretty butthurt when you found out you didn't

I'm not saying that Misa didn't give him problems, but he already had problems because of his actions. Penber and the cameras were there because he knew things only the police would know, both times he needed Ryuk's help, if not for him he wouldn't have known he was being investigated and the amount of cameras in his house, in which case he wouldn't have been able to guess they were keeping check on him for a short period of time. He was also the one who told Light that the cameras had beeen taken away.

After that scenario maybe he could've tried writing L. Maybe he could've gotten away with it.

Penber found nothing and the cameras wouldn't find anything special anyway.

Penber found nothing because he didn't have the time, and the cameras would have found Light watching the news and writing the names on the Death Note.

Sorry, I just remembered something just as I was posting. The cameras would also have shown the secret compartment and how it works, which would let them find the notebook.

Doing bad stuff with good intentions and doing good stuff with bad intentions.

Also Ryuk eating apples.

>Most of human history is populated by powerful men that did horrible crimes, changed history and even became heroes in the end (Stalin, Cromwell, Napoleon, Caesar etc.).

wow, it's like you don't even have a basic understanding of human history

>ubermensch
>so effeminate he has to PRETEND he reads porn

why didn't they just end the series after L dies?

you can have Light die a stupid karmic death that doesn't involve a lot of shenanigans

>ubermensch
>slave to base instincts

Because contracts.

OK, but in real life, there's no way they would assume it was one person carrying out all of the deaths. They'd assume it was some new disease spreading around, or a drug. Not a teenager killing people from his bedroom.

The fake L was the way for them to confirm it was a guy.

Oh shut up. I was a lightfag but even I was able to see that this would happen if he lost

>pure bullshittiery

user.... He lost fair and square... stop

Mello was great, that's why.

>hurr durr if he didn't kill taylor

No stop this has been disproven already that this wasn't the critical mistake. Furthermore it would have been out of character for him to not kill him. The story isn't about how "you" would get away with it. It's about how light handles it.

This, they would first spent at least a year conducting reaserch. Even if they did suspect convicts were being murdered, they would assume stuff like revenge killings, witness silencing, mob hierarchy bullshit etc. done by poisoning were taking place
They wouldn't pull of a public stunt like that ever, because if they were wrong they would become a laughingstock

If they didn't want light to win they should have had L kill him. I was a lightfag but after seeing the bs that was near I realized it would have just been better for L to catch light

He lived like a hypocrite, he died like one.

Why is it you people forget what DN was about? In real life it prisoners started talking about kira before they die then they would realize that something fishy is going on.

If they were wrong it would help them garner more data about kira. Furthermore it was only shown to a small region, not the whole world

The internet exist, so it would spread like wildfire, making it meaningless unless the broadcasted in different regions in very small intervals. And that small region has 40 million people living in it

Conspiracy theorist would arise and help with the investigation. Light's kills before he got outsmarted by L happened during the same time frame and most of them were from people broadcasted from local television, so not many people from other countries would be shown. That alone would raise many flags.

Not just conspiracy theorist. Governments would be shitting their pants at the thought of an invisible untraceable infinite range sniper weapon. They'd be all into catching Kira and procuring the weapon in the name of """""national security"""""

The instant L proved 90% a human was behind it, the bandwagon would topple over from all the alphabet soups jumping in.

>reading the manga because I dropped the show years ago when L died
>Light during the L arc was completely composed, knew what he was doing, had everything planned and knew how to outsmart L no matter what theory he crafted, he was always a step ahead
>L dies and the autistic children get introduced
>outsmarted for no apparent reason by not-L at every chance, loses his cool, and acts like a fucking retard

now I remember why I dropped it, this is fucking lame.

>people don't become arrogant and prone to mistakes when they kill the only person that can stop them, bring the US to their knees, and get a religion to follow them

Mikami hamming it up.

Why wouldn't you root for him. He was based af

He was childish and so was his view on """justice"""

I was in a weird position as I rooted for Light and L at the same time. I loved how Light defeated L, but I also hated Light for defeating L. In the end, though, both of the guys I rooted for died. They were both too good for this world.

But you're supposed to root for him. Otherwise there's no tragedy in watching him lose.

I'm surprised anyone rooted for him. When he lost his memories, I thought that was supposed to juxtapose just how corrupt the Death Note had made him.

>Tragedy
>Light going out like an angry child is a tragedy

lol

Its a tragedy in the greek sense not the "i'm sad this guy lost" sense.
Its an egomaniacal faggot getting what he deserved.
You don't have to root for him, just find him interesting and see where his story goes.

He was making the world a better place

>there's no way they would assume it was one person carrying out all of the deaths
They didn't do that even in the anime, though.

In case you don't remember, the police and other organizations largely ignored the deaths at first. They only paid it some attention after the death toll had risen above a 100. That's a lot. What made it even more suspicious was that all of them were criminals or prisoners, and all of them died of inexplicable heart attacks. If it was a disease, especially such a deadly and mysterious one, there would be a lot more victims. But there weren't. Taking all of this into considerations, only a handful of people actually believed them to murders. Most still didn't think they were murders. They just thought it was random heart attacks, coincidentally affecting a large amount of criminals. Among the few that did believe these to be murders, they thought it was done by some really large organization, rather than a single person. Something the size of FBI or CIA.

Even when L came and declared it was murders, not incidents, he also wasn't sure how many people he was dealing with. So no, people did act realistically. Literally no one thought it was carried out by a single person, and only a handful even started to get suspicious after the death toll had risen to over a 100.

Uh yeah.. .this.
In Light's pursuit of Justice, he becomes the very thing he set out to destroy. Even at the very end he can't see the depths of which he has fallen.

The journey just isn't the same if he starts as an acne riddled edge lord.

Could have asked for shinigami eyes and just killed everyone following him.

I rooted for him in both parts when I watched it for the first time about 8 years ago (I was 15 then).
When I rewatched it last year, I liked L better, but in part 2 I'd still rather he'd have won, cause near and mello were shit.

Not without a notebook, and the cops would've shot him to death.

Light is asexual, he only cares about divine intervention

But if the cops started shooting the only one who would die is L_____.

Even if he were caught what are they gonna charge him with?
Killing people through a magical notebook?
They cant do shit to him.

>Killing people through a magical notebook?
Yes. They have proof, they have the notes.

Motive, Means, and Opportunity. That is enough to prove murderous intent, even if the murder weapon is magic.

>They cant do shit to him.
Why? A murder is a murder, means of murder mean little.

L was also willing to let everyone die and let Kira be free so that he knew the method of murder.

>anime was worse

Worse in that it was more depressing? Or worse overall? I'd say the manga ending is more fucked up because Light got off easy in the anime ending, despite everything he did.

Show me any law in any country of the world that specifically says a murder weapon can't be magical.

ugh, I hate that ending, the anime ending felt a bit more connected to the story for me, this one just felt like the author wanted to force you to think of light as an evil guy, unlike the anime where you might agree with him at first, but his actions slowly convince you that he's a psychopath, because anyone who picks up this book will try it and eventually become a psycho.
