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.

Death Note quotes

  • James Turner: How does Kira get to decide who lives and dies? Who's guilty, and innocent? Is there a complaint department if I don't like one of Kira's decisions - or would complaining just get me put on Kira's list?

  • L: The individual known as Kira, as I'm sure you're aware, has taken credit for over 400 deaths. While we don't know how he kills his victims, we do know how he chooses them. Prior to these deaths, all of the victims have had their identities released to the media. This would suggest that Kira is not some omnipotent force. He's a person, like you or me. He is also a coward. A child wielding power he does not understand, mistakenly believing that in doing so, he's at no risk to himself. He's wrong. Kira, if you're watching this, know that I am coming for you. Unless, of course, you'd like to kill me now.
