The weird thing about the death note that the movie will totally gently caress up is that there's magical or karmatic punishment. It's a tool for bored and uncontested death gods. It's part of their day job. Not moral or evil entities of western religion. It'd be like if you forgot your lan password and some npc started loving with all the other npcs with it. Who knocks, you might just watch and see how it plays out.

Detective No. 27 posted:I didn't consider that possibility. Off top of my head. Since this is Death Note 2, we can assume Frank Castle (Mel Gibson) killed Light and happened on his notebook. Light had to be punished because to protect himself he killed innocent people. Frank figured it out but Light couldn't account for him. The Demon is terrified of Frank who has difficult answers for the philosophical questions it poses and it is forced to come along and bear witness. Frank, however, prefers to sit down and see his victims face to face, perhaps at the dinner table, perhaps otherwise after dispatching henchmen, and write their name with their full knowledge on how they're going to die and how horrible or easy it may be depending on Frank's judgement and he sees it in their eyes knowing they cannot escape it. Frank doesn't need to hide. The cops and law enforcement look the other way and are okay with Frank doing what he's doing cause he does bring it down to those who deserve it. The Ghost Rider has to correct this calamity by regaining possession of the book, returning it to where it belongs, and is seemingly being driven to dispatch the Demon for his error. Johnny Blaze (Nic Cage) disagrees with his Spirit of Vengence but has no choice. Danny Ketch (Sam Rockwell or Tom Cruise) tags along. The problem is Frank's next major target is a former war hero and Senate candidate who commited a horrific crime in Iraq/Afghanistan.

Make Kira some red-piller that knocks out Tumblr. Make him a BernieBro who writes the Clintons and GOP in to the first pages. Have him kill the Football team because they made fun of him once, go for it  Calaveron posted:Isn't it also a thing that people who use a death note have short lives and or violent deaths Now let's all wait for The Asylum to counter this release with Fap Note.

Calaveron posted:Isn't it also a thing that people who use a death note have short lives and or violent deaths There's a thing where Death Note holders can trade half their remaining lifespan for the ability to see people's real names (and maybe other information? I don't remember) floating above their head-- since that's what you need to kill them with the book. But also yeah, they generally get sloppy and wind up dead pretty fast. I think it's implied that Light is unusually smart/restrained about how he's using it, at least at first. I don't know how I feel about this movie. I read the manga and liked it back in college, so I'm kind of intrigued, but I also don't really expect it to be any good.

FilthyImp posted:Who gives a gently caress? The chief of state is a lying misogynist racist piece of poo poo, and the majority party is gleefully loving peeps out of healthcare so they can justify a massive tax cut for the ultra wealthy. Also, you make the deaths incredibly Final Destination-style outlandish, since the concept is that Kira can choose the time and how a person dies (if he doesn't, they just die of like they had a heart attack). Kira writing the deaths of primary candidates during a debate by having them die with their heads up each others' asses, a lobbyist vomiting up cash, or having world leader die of autoerotic asphyxiation timed so it happens in the middle of a big speech or rally.

Yeah, using a Death Note basically destroys your soul. Thundercracker posted:Not really. The weird thing about the death note that the movie will totally gently caress up is that there's magical or karmatic punishment. It's a tool for bored and uncontested death gods. It's part of their day job. Not moral or evil entities of western religion. For Death Gods a Death Note is basically their equivalent of eating since whenever they kill a person they get their remaining lifespan (this does not happen with humans.)

Lying by omission is fine, but straight deception kinda ruins the rules of the universe. I know there's no reason he had to tell the truth, but it still felt like rear end pulls when the writer wrote himself into a corner. Also, the movie will absolutely not have the potato chip scene or execute it well, and the fanbase will riot over it.

Yeah, if your takeaway from Death Note was "man it would be awesome if someone had the ability to kill anyone anywhere however they wanted and used that ability to get rid of all the Bad People" then you've officially forfeit the right to be smug about rappers liking Scarface forever.

IShallRiseAgain posted:Its implied that its more because people with Death Notes tend to do things that would get them killed rather than because of a supernatural ability the Death Note has. This, pretty much. The Death Note has no "tangible" effect on you but what does that matter? You an still kill people with the stroke of a pen. It is inevitable such a thing will gently caress a person up. It's more that the unrivaled power naturally brings out the worst in people. Light's need to be "perfect," Misa's need to be "useful" and Mikami's need to "delete" bad people. Light was on the fast track to becoming a world-class detective like L, Misa probably would have gotten some counseling and Mikami would have lived out his life as perhaps an overzealous prosecutor. But without the Death Note, none of them would have become the monsters they did in the series. (Although I think Misa and Mikami at least have grounds for some sort of insanity defense. And it's often overlooked Light was just a teenager when he got the Death Note. Teenagers are very much "I know how the world should be run" and then he got the power to try and run the world as he saw fit. He never stood a chance) I watched a trailer analysis earlier and I get the feeling one thing that will be dropped in this adaptation is Light's clear influence from his father. As the guy noted, cops aren't quite as sacred here. Light's twisted idea of justice was always a way to try and emulate his father. This is why he only goes after criminals instead of, you know, killing world leaders or terrorists. Light's got some sort of microeconomics/grassroots ideas of societal change.

The original came out over 30 years ago and I somehow don't think Tom Cruise's ego will allow that movie to have a "you're too old for this poo poo" plotline.

Neil Blomkamp's short films 'Rakka' and 'Firebase' on youtube are both more impressive than Elysium and especially that steaming pile of poo poo Chappie. The special effects in Firebase are top notch for such a low budget. Maybe he might redeem himself in the near future?

I think that terrible dive bar in SD that Top Gun used for a scene burned up, so guess theyll have to build a new fake bar.Electromax posted:I didn't walk away from the show with the same takeaway message I guess.

The fun part about the Death Note anime Is watching it with someone who has never seen it before and seeing what episode makes them realize that Light is actually a monster. Some people totally dig him for a disturbingly long time. The second best thing about the Death Note anime is at the end when Light dies and Ryuk basically indicates that the years of global turmoil, murders, and the birth of a new religion were nothing but a short-lived distraction that he'll have try again someday. And he also speaks of Light with absolute zero sentimentality even though he just spent years with the guy.

Some people totally dig him for a disturbingly long time. Killing Naomi did it for me. Just the way he did it. The greatest irony of Death Note is all about Light and Ryuk. 1. Light thinks he's a god...when the one with all the real power is right next to him. 2. The one person Light seems to trust is Ryuk. Ryuk, the one person in the show more evil than Light. Fun Fact: The director of the anime was on Kira's side.
