#the long paragraph is an amalgamation (another dad word) of some of my dad's reoccuring topics that happens to fits death note well

Wild to me that there are (allegedly) ppl who don't see what Light did wrong, because the series itself calls him out -- I'm pretty sure when Light plans to kill the FBI agents, Ryuk is like "Wow Light, what you're doing here doesn't even align with your nominal ideology." -Wait. post cancelled. New post:

Death Note where everything is the same except Ryuk talks like my dad. "There are some deep logical inconsistencies between your methodology and what you claim your motives are."

(being more confrontational than my dad and canon Ryuk combined): "Really, seeing the world in only black and white is very small-minded. Doing that is a sign that you actually aren't very smart -- and most people think that way because most people aren't very smart. It's indicative of a lack of imagination. Everything's more of a gradient with more shades of grey than people want to admit."

"Wow Light, you've been pretty belligerent with that Death Note, huh?"

"Well, it is demonstratively true that Kira has drastically reduced crime rates, so I guess I have to give you props for that."

"You're telling me to be less cavalier with my apple eating, Light, but you hold nothing over my head."

"Light, you've known a priori that I am contractually obliged to kill you."
