i forgot to say, we finished watching death note yesterday!
it's so much different to watch as an adult instead of a dA middle schooler. the second half was still bad though
#bush was alive and the president but kira ended war. make it make sense#also the series would have gone so wildly differently if even a SINGLE woman in it had literally any sort of agency#also (minimal spoilers:)#it's not satisfying to end it on ''he was Outsmarted(TM) by a Super Special Orphan''#his MAIN character trait/flaw/drive was that he thought he was a god (so: above everyone else)#he REALLY kind of needed to lose because of his own ego#you get that the SLIGHTEST bit with Mikami's blunder but it's nowhere near enough#also the dad should have survived. he had been given more emphasis on valuing the legal process and disapproving of Kira's methods#so it's wild that the character who felt most strongly that way didn't make it to the end#and then HE should have had the Matsuda moment in the finale!!#i get what they were going for with Matsuda having it#but 1: obvs the drama of it would be elevated 2: you'd care more about the hard moral lines being drawn for that character#and 3: THE FATHER AND THE SON. CHRISTIAN GOD IMAGERY. IT WAS RIGHT THERE#RYUK COULD BE THE HOLY SPIRIT OR SOMETHING. C'MON WORK WITH ME HERE#one thing is still the same as in middle school though. L and Light were definitely gay#death note#hush me
