I always hear people talk about how great Death Note is so I tried watching it a few years ago and it just made me very uncomfortable the whole time. The show made sure to point out how great things are goin in the world when ever it could, like one point after the time skip it said that wars have stopped(???). At no point did it ever try making a point about how there could be a flaw in the justice system where someone innocent could be in jail and thus a casualty of the MC. Every non “criminal” he kills is someone who could potentially put a stop to his actions and thus comes off as as antagonists that the viewer Shouldn’t feel bad about dying. The whole thing feels like the author thinks that Light is actually a good guy.
I mean if the world is ruled by what is effectively a demigod who can murder anybody, anywhere, at will, with no defence or retaliation possible, only knowing just their name and their face, i'm pretty sure wars and shit WOULD stop.
The question is: is it worth it? the answer being fuck no
That was what was running through my head in the second half anyway
