This is a photo of the new Death Note movie netflix is making. The man in the picture? L. I'm sure you can spot the problems here. He's black and he's out in the fucking open giving some speech. Even though you know a massive part of L's character was him not wanting people to know who he is or what he looks like.
>Even though you know a massive part of L's character was him not wanting people to know who he is or what he looks like. He's wearing a hood and balaclava you autist
Julian Garcia
>Death Note movie netflix is making I thought it was a tv series?
Nolan Cooper
He's out in the fucking wide open and giving a speech to a fucking crowd.
Nolan Flores
Makes me wonder how they'll end up changing Misa's character.
Jeremiah Perez
I think this is supposed to be the scene where L makes a death row inmate publicly declare that he will catch Kira, to which Kira kills him then L announces that wasn't L and that wasn't Ls real name.
OP is a moron
Oliver Reed
WE
Connor Jenkins
I hope the asians get pissed at the Asiarasure but I know they're too beta.
Hudson Williams
Wearing a hood and a balaclava
It that even IS L, as stated here
Nathan Collins
Think again retard.
Oliver Turner
>Scarlet Johanson vaguely resembles the Ghost in the Shell chick but its a hate crime because shes white, not asian.
>Nigger who looks nothing like L is fine.
Levi Hernandez
>>Sup Forums when they changed everybody from japs to betawhite >BRAVO NETFLIX!! >SAVIOURS OF THE PROUD ANIMUWATCHING WHITE RACE >Sup Forums when they changed one of the characters to black >WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH >ITS ANOTHER SHOAH!!!
Liam Long
That's why he's out in public, idiot, the inmate is already dead and he's just announced the broadcast only went out in Seattle or something, pinpointing Kiras location
Do you even Deathnote
Dylan Jones
Looks like a mudslime
Nicholas Rogers
What happened to Netflix? It's like they're tailoring all their content to children and adolescents.
The contrast between OC on Netflix and Amazon Prime is staggering. Amazon Prime is aimed at adults.
Ethan Johnson
Well, the fact that everybody else has been race-lifted means I have no inherent problem with Americanized L being black.
That said, they should still be faithful to the character's personality. I'm skeptical as to how this will turn out, this guy being a rapper and all.
Dominic Collins
Well at least whites and asians have similar skin tone. Their facial structure is different but they're closer looking than fucking blacks and any other race.
Liam Morales
Margaret Qualley lloks like a hotter version of Emma Roberts.
Aiden Sanchez
Should I watch Deathnote or Paranoia Agent first?
Should I watch them at all?
Josiah Murphy
>Implying this is actually L and not a guy posing as him who gets killed for taunting Kira. Pfft
James Young
The original L is a caricature. Anime characters don't translate well into more realistic setting.
Brody Bennett
>All black men look alike
That's obviously not Stanfield
James White
The actor is even listed on IMDB
Hunter Brown
Directed by Adam Wingard so it'll be kino
Henry Rivera
>What happened to Netflix? It's like they're tailoring all their content to children and adolescents. That's because that's where the money/viewership has always been.
Plus, in the 21st century, you've got the added bonus of adults who wish they were children, and desperately cling to that despite all evidence to the contrary, so they count as well.
Thanks "geek" "culture".
Mason Gutierrez
That's not Keith Standfield
Aiden Thomas
its well within L's character to use a double
Connor Foster
>egyptians were black >vikings were black >celts were black >japanese were black >chinese were black >hannibal was black >shakespeare was black >aztecs were black >mayans were black >incans were black
wad is your problem white boi??
Sebastian Rivera
>change a Japanese woman into Jew in Ghost >looks fantastic guys love it!!! can't wait for this movie!!
>change a white guy into a black guy >MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS!!
Brody Davis
>Do you even Deathnote
Do you? L wouldn't need to be out in public to do that, nor would he want to. Fucking cuck.
Zachary Rodriguez
Liberals are hypocrites More news at 11.
Michael Fisher
>>egyptians were black >>vikings were black >>celts were black >>japanese were black >>chinese were black >>hannibal was black >>shakespeare was black >>aztecs were black >>mayans were black >>incans were black lol no
Zachary Bennett
>Do you even Deathnote
he still reveals that hes a nigger. he also has a lot of enemies who would love to kill him. showing yourself like this is retarded as fuck.
Juan Hernandez
You mean an adapted piece of media is different from its source? Really?
Also that's not L
Isaac Green
It's funny because white people were doing the same in the past.
Charles Gomez
dafuq are you on, everyone was complaining that scarjo got the nip role
Lucas Williams
>the plebs upset about this are the same plebs crying about the female ghostbusters you can't make this shit up complete and utter plebs
Liam Campbell
Death Note anime is shit, watch Paranoia Agent it's fucking amazing and also Satoshi Kon's one and only TV production.
Jack Harris
Will still watch, and likely enjoy.
Landon Jackson
>Make the Asian characters white >Make the white character Asian >Make the 3/4 white 1/4 Asian character black
Jacob Butler
Everyone was bitching about Scarjo as an actress and a jew while defending the idea of an all white recast.
Grayson Young
Yeah, I'm scared for Amazon Prime more than anything.
When I saw that Netflix series Love, I thought what a bunch of pandering nonsense.
Dominic Wright
In the manga L has inmates condemned to death broadcasting threats to the 'killer' on television but only one inmate's speech is being broadcasted to a select part of the country. When light kills the inmate thinking that it's L, he inadvertently reveals the part of the country he is living in to L which is the first step in L catching up to Light as the main suspect
Xavier Sullivan
It's like they are doing this on purpose.
Kayden Fisher
> L is a fucking nigger
i'm done
Jackson Smith
I agree, Netflix should make shows for mature adults such as ourselves that peruse Micronesian fishhook-crafting boards.
Andrew Bailey
Watch both fampai
Zachary Roberts
I don't mind L's character being black. If they are moving the setting from Japan to US then it makes sense to make the cast more racialy diverse.
What I mind is which actor they chose. I just don't see that guy pulling off being an autistick fuck like L. Half of his character was that he was a weirdo.
If they make him all suave 'I am a liberal's wet dream' black guy or a thug I am out.
Jeremiah Lewis
Well if they aren't going to fucking go by the source material why don't they just make their own fucking show?
Jose Myers
Who cares.
And the movie was going to suck anyways. Fuck remakes, especially Americanized ones.
Elijah Young
police violence
Jacob Clark
brand recognition
Ayden Baker
They can sell the same shit to a new audience (and the old audience, who will pay for it again) without having to be creative.
Nolan Moore
>vaguely resembles the Ghost in the Shell WAT
William Lopez
Should've used the same premise with a different story and characters.
Daniel Allen
it better be this
Jaxon Morris
Black lives matter, it's been confirmed the racial demographics of Light's victims will be a plot point.
All the while forgetting that they are not the target market any more.
The show will be ok, even good. Normies will love it and hate the jap comic and cartoon.
A character being changed in an adaptation is meaningless.
Grayson Price
ITT: literal children aka weebs losing their shit because a real world adaptation is different from their super realistic sri lankan finger puppets.
And if this is an issue with the fact that an American company is making it, I'll remind you of all the trash anime adaptations Japan is responsible for, most recently Attack on Titan.
Blake Myers
...
Dominic Myers
if you really, without a shred of a doubt, think that a literal death note adaptation would translate well into a us show/movie there is something inherently wrong with your brain.
Brandon Gomez
>not an emo hair faggot. >cool black person who actually looks like a detective oh no anything but that
Matthew Cox
>black >cool >detective
He's just up there promoting his mixtape and calling out Kira for killing black people that "DINDU NUFFING WONG DEM BE GOOD BOIS!!"
Jaxson Perry
>Looks like a detective >Guy looks like he just got done browsing /fa/ circa 2012
Uh
Carter Torres
>that finger
Inshallah brother
Evan Ortiz
I wanna live where you are where detectives wear /fa/ nightmare hoodies and halfmasks.
Justin Foster
There's absolutely 0 (zero) chance this will be good. Casting doesn't matter, they could have the most british whitest neet you can imagine be L and it'd still be utter horse shit
This is the exact same case as ghostbusters. There's a shit movie and you keep making threads about it because something triggered you, then it was women now it's a nigger. It's shit regardless
Zachary Cruz
ahahaha
Samuel Jones
Dumb fucking shit.
Don't care.
Carter Ward
Yep, that's out of original character
Adrian Baker
Maybe hes the decoy that gets killed one page later.
James Long
>Make the Asian characters Jewish
FTFY
Benjamin Cruz
bandana hoodie means cool badass hero character
also pic related ends that particular arguement
Aiden Bailey
Don't care. Netflix told me they are increasing my monthly free to 10$ on the 22nd, so I'll unsubscribe by the time this shit comes out anyway.
Ryan Allen
You guys are really trying your hardest to meme this.
Austin Campbell
The movie looks really bad though.
Joshua Brown
Are they going to give Ryuk and the other shinigami a body or are they just going to portray them as voices in your head or some stupid shit like that?
Jaxson Thomas
He's not meant to be "cool" nor a hero. He's a stinky unwashed NEET whose only saving grace is being loaded and a genius apparently. Not someone who'd particularly care about appearances like Mr. BLM in OP's pic.
Camden Reyes
every movie aimed at tweens is bad
Lincoln Roberts
why is L in black lives matter
Ayden Evans
No shinigami.
Blake Wilson
American troops being stationed in the holy land of Saudi Arabia.
Cameron Powell
>mfw it becomes popular >mfw the part where L eats nothing but sweets and shit and claims it's doable as long as you track your calories comes up >mfw people die of diabetes as skellies because they apply anime to real life kek
Hudson Barnes
CGI costs money.
My bet is that they are gonna remove them completely, probably say some nonsense like "we removed it because shinigami would be too weird for non-Japanese audiences."
Owen Nelson
cultural appropriation is ok if a nigger does it
Adrian Howard
>He's black and he's out in the fucking open giving some speech. Even though you know a massive part of L's character was him not wanting people to know who he is or what he looks like.
Wow it's almost like this is probably not L and this is just the show doing the scene where Kira tries to kill L by using the shinigami eyes but then kills the wrong person.
Come the fuck on Sup Forums
Adam Flores
>every movie aimed at tweens is bad
Nah, some of them are good.
Austin Sanchez
source on this?
if they implement them they'll just be men in suits like lucifer in constantino or something lame like that I bet
John Taylor
>cultural appropriation is ok if a nigger does it
Zendaya would have been a great Alita though.
At least she got a role in Spider-Man.
Isaiah Phillips
The point of his character is that everybody expected L to be cool, not some NEET that only eats candy and is autistic as fuck.
Asher Smith
a fucking death note move adaption?
oh my god I thought this was a joke are you fucking kidding me there's like 1000000000 books out there movies can be based on. but no, you had to choose some shitty tv show for teenagers. who thought this would ever, EVER be a good idea? The character is lacking in personality and was written to crave the delusional thoughts of edgy teenagers, with significant characters that are mere devices for that purpose. The plot itself drags on and on far beyond the point where it should've ended (ah yes, Kira outsmarted by a bunch of autistic kids from the autism academy that we've never been introduced to before besides maybe a few episodes ago. what a twist). For the re-adaption to be good so many things would need to be changed from the anime that you might as well just say its just loosely based on DN.
Yes I know there's a manga but lets get real has there ever been a good comic to movie adaption apart from maybe Nolan's The Dark Knight? And that was Nolan backed by probably every major broadcasting company at the time in some form. This is Netflix, who admittedly produce good stuff but this is extremely ambitious.
I really hope they're just using the general concept from DN and aren't going to follow the source material too close.
Landon Price
So whats the story behind the notebook?
Aliens? Ancient evil awakens? Satan? All of the above?
Charles Williams
>if they implement them they'll just be men in suits like lucifer in constantino or something lame like that I bet
I don't think they are gonna do them at all. The fact that they are weird and alien-looking is what makes people accept them as ghosts. If they show up as people in suits it would be even more confusing.
Dominic Young
i think its cool that they turned L into deray
Isaac Harris
Super hi tech neural net that connects to a network of hitmen through brain imagery
Jaxon Richardson
Death Note should be a musical I'd see that. but only if its a musical
