Most disliked character(s)? Why?

Oh dang, well. I really don’t like Mello within the canon, altho its honestly more that I find him a little superfluous. In a different series, his and Near’s rivalry would be given its rightful space but Death Note is not! That! Series! Other characters I dislike/will skip their parts: Higuchi (duh); all of the black suit FBI men whose names I don’t rmbr bc I cannot tell them apart; fanon Matsuda because he is SO BORING and canon Matsuda is a vastly more interesting, flawed character.

Most disliked arc? Why?

Catch me having a snooze during that arc that’s just Near and Light calling each other; look, I know its important and I won’t argue that its bad because it isn’t. It’s just a much more vast amount of honk-honk Death Note clown logic being delivered in a less dynamic fashion than in the first part where L and Light would be delivering monologues while playing tennis or mid-fight. The fact that the Worst Phone Calls of Both Light and Near’s Lives are going on while more besuited same-face guys in the background just sort of waffle doing style-less espionage (ESP after we had the highs of Wedy running around in a cat suit to disable security systems like c’mon!) doesn’t do these scenes any favors.

Unpopular opinion about XXX character?

To be honest I think every opinion I just expressed up top are unpopular lol I await the angry Higuchi stans and snore-core second arc suits heads drafting screeds in my ask box with baited breath. Altho like, I’ve had the Mello opinion since forever so I think the Mello fans have just learned to ignore me, which is the correct choice.

Oh also I think L is bi with a preference for men because there’s no women bar Wedy who he makes sense with. Light is vastly more insecure than most fanfic authors write him, and oh, idk. I think Matsuda probably has really regressive gender politics. Are these unpopular? Idk, I have no finger on the DN fandom pulse lol. I’m in my own corner doing whatever I like.
