Any live adaption of an anime will be shit casting anyway. Black L or white L doesn't matter, just that he is autistic and has messy black hair.

Who would you cast?

If they made a live action adaption of death note set in the US, I could dig a black Light. Imagine some denzel washington shit, sick of all the bullshit
But it doesn't work for L unless you're going for some magical negro nonsense

Exactly what you filthy weebs deserve

Anyone else fucking HATE nigerians?

People who complain about casting for anime-adaptions should watch some of the live action shit from Japan.

They try to be as close to the source as possible, and it's fucking retarded. You have these Japanese girls running around with pink hair and prosthetic chests, and guys with autistic amounts of makeup just to look the part.

>Live action Deathnote

lol who gives a fuck what color any of them are it will always be total dogshit

some med person
italian, north african

he looks like that in the anime

>inb4 pol casts him as a nordid

Idris Elba, they were close though

he looks fine desu

it's 2016, skin color doesn't matter anymore

>Nobody complains about them casting a white guy as Light
You realize that's just as much of a race change, right? Even in the Japanese film adaptions they cast L as a Japanese guy, and that was changing his race.
Light is 100% Japanese
L is 1/4 English, 1/4 French, 1/4 Russian, and 1/4 Japanese.

But you shits only get triggered over a black guy playing L. Pretty selective outrage, isn't it?

I've only seen him in Short Term 12 but he was really good in that

I'm okay with this

Easily the best part of ATLANTA. He plays autistic well enough to pull it off irrespective of his ethnicity.

>that episode where he gets rejected from VIP and goes home and plays zoo tycoon

>Hasn't even seen Atlanta

Mate he was GREAT

>Cast black guy to piss off the weebs
Brilliant

it can kind of work.

he has a good face

if he had a different hair or wears a wig
