The rational view of an original fan

Regarding the disloyalty to the original work, indeed, according to the current shooting, it is more suitable for the European and American markets. If it really follows the original work, it will be difficult to please the European and American markets. And if you only focus on pleasing the Asian market, it is likely that the gains will outweigh the losses in the end. After all, fans are picky, and no matter how much they insist on the details of the original work, they are likely to be thankless in the end. So it is understandable that it is not faithful to the original.

But even so, the new version is too shallow on the story. The rhythm of various American horror films at the beginning still makes people roll their eyes. Although the black version of L is too emotional, the performance of the actors is quite good. The interaction between the pros and the villain is basically the feeling of an action movie in the back... alas. The ending of the male and female protagonists is not bad, and it seems logically reasonable. The picture of the petals in the sky is beautiful.

Basically one sentence: just watch and play as a fan, but don't take it too seriously.
