[Netflix's... Death Note?]
Takes place in Seattle?
Everbody white?????
that... dark haired smoking cheerleader meant to be Misa?
Ha ha, Light is goofy looking as hell and got his punkass knocked out.
I haven't watched this yet, but I want to experience the ridiculousness.
What the fuck kind of detention room has jars of marbles in it?
So far: ridiculous as hell
And jars of cupcake liners what the fuck is this
Who the fuck keeps shuttlecocks in jars??
Tee hee, Light (?) just screamed like a baby.
Someone who likes to say, "Check out my...shuttlecocks" and giggle?
But in a classroom?
Holy fuck Ryuk is scary and expositional as hell
Light apparently keeps various lengths of wire in his messy ass room.
damnit.
Also the Death Note is pre-owned, apparently.
That just makes me picture him buying a used copy from Amazon.
Apparently, Ryuk just runs around giving it to random people for the lulz. And wasting apples.
Light "Turner"
And Misa is now Mia.
Aaand Light just spilled the big secret of the Death Note to her.
Now it's been a while since I saw Death Note, or read any of it, but didn't the people choose Kira, not Light?
That's what I remember.
L is on a crime scene??
And L is wearing a hoodie??
Watari just sung L to sleep???
??? ???
I don't know what to do with this information.
I don't either!
Also, L is black.
I saw that in a trailer.
He kinda moves like L though, so that's okay.
Does L have tattoos??
This movie makes me question so many things.
... Light's Dad meets L, Watari hands him an ice cream cone and walks away. Light's dad. Not L. I??
What the fuck is this movie?
It's like they saw L Change the WorLd and decided to one up it in crazy.
Ice cream cones for everyone!
"No. That movie was not bullshit enough. WE ARE GONNA BULLSHIT THIS FRANCHISE RIGHT UP"
It's the new giant lollipop.
This raises an important question - is there a Matsuda equivalent?
Or is it not far enough to tell?
I don't know yet, but if there is I pray that he shoots an airplane with a harpoon gun.
No, it has to go a step beyond that.
There will never be an Another Note movie but this exists.
Alternately - at least Netflix didn't decide to adapt Another Note
Shush, they said there might be sequels.
And maybe one of those sequels will be a prequel.
And then: icons!
Also what the fuck, L is going on live TV with just his hoodie/mask combo??? L??????
That must be a hell of a secure hoodie.
I was expecting the... god, whatever that criminal's name was, the one L set up to get Kira'd on tv, I was xpecting that. I guess they're trying to make L into 100% a good guy though and that was a dick move.
I don't remember the name either, but I know who you mean.
But L's supposed to be kind of a dick.
I know!
That's his whole thing! He's a dick with poor posture!
I guess I can concede that there are levels of dickery that stop short of "setting up a man to die"
But still!
L vs Light! In a diner! L looks like he's about to cry, Light looks like he might actually do a Light thing.
He'll take these hashbrowns...and EAT THEM?
Nope, he ate nothing.
OK, it's not Running!L, but Angry!Driving!L is pretty hilarious.
Nevermind. There's a Running!L scene. Not quite as hilarious at the Japanese version, but still pretty amusing.
That's not an ending you fucks.
That's not a goddamn ending.
That's begging for a sequel that picks up right after that.
5/10. L was pretty good, even if he did have a few too many feels emotions. Light didn't get to Light it up until the ending. Misa/Mia was more Light than Light was, ffs.
And Watari was just... ... I dunno what to say about Watari. I am not happy with him.
Also hang the fuck on, there was a fourth Death Note movie?
And L's successor in that is named Ryuzaki?
I got the idea from that trailer I saw that Mia was really down to murder.
Huh. I didn't realize they kept the movies going.
I know there was a live-action weekly drama in the past few years.
The movie is from last year, actually. Set 10 years after the original Death Note movies. It's... weird. The new Ryuzaki is... an L clone? Or L's baby via IVF?
That's bizarre, and yet I don't put it past the people who came up with the genius farm orphanage.
Plantin' geniuses, waterin' them occasionally, Watari in overalls..
A real life Cabbage Patch Kid!
Except it's really awkward and has weird sexual tension with people who call themselves Kira!
Seriously, there were at least five "JUST FUCKIN KISS ALREADY" moments.
And Ryuzaki was ... well, not more awkward than L, but... trying hard to be weirder than L, which in itself is awkward.
He wanted to be the L-est!
It's... he was like if L and Jack Sparrow had a baby.
That's what he is. L Sparrow.
Oh
That's an interesting choice.
Death Note 3: Light Up the New World Official Traile... The trailer doesn't really show just how weird he is. Alas. He's a lot like B, but less murdery/gross.
There's that one weird face he makes and that's it.
Death Note Light Up The New World (2016) English Sub... That should be the whole movie. Maybe. And there was a miniseries that came before this to explain... what came before this, even though it kinda didn't.
The only thing cool that came from the miniseries was Not-Quite-B's "I'll take this chupa chup... AND EAT IT" moment.
Ooh, thank you. I don't think I'll watch it right this minute, but I want to experience this.
Matsuda's in it!
But does he fire a rocket?
Alas, no.
I just started Light Up the New World.
I know he's not going to be the focus of the movie, but I really like the idea of a doctor with a Death Note.
It got off to a deceptively normal start and then suddenly there's a girl cackling to herself in the middle of an intersection as shit explodes and bodies drop around her.
And L 2.0 has to come up with the most quirky way to approach a dead body.
The Matsuda I was promised!
Right? And the doctor was using it for... Kinda good? Like giving terminally ill peeps a way out and whatnot. Also, suicidal people but hey, yeah.
Yeah, L 2.0 tries so hard.
Also, was it the Matsuda you wanted?
It was. The moment when he said he used his own name was perfect Matsuda.
At least so far. I had to stop watching for a while, so I'm not done.
NO
THAT WAS NOT THE MATSUDA I WANTED
Ryuuzaki talking about promising things to L just makes the whole cloning timeline extra weird.
I paused to say this, and returned to L handing him a sucker.
I'm sorry about Matsuda!
God damn. Everybody dies in this one.
Neo Kira's final outfit makes me think he's missed his calling to be the villain in a sci-fi movie.
I will give them that it was a pretty good twist.
Surprise! The good guy was Kira all along! Muahaha!
But yeah, errybody dies. Misa, the Wannabe Kira, L's creepy clone baby, freaking matsuda
I thought Misa really did get baby L, but then I saw how much of the movie was left and figured the used the same trick L did.
But I thought he did it to himself and maybe gave himself a nice, long life.
Nope
Or was there a limit to how far in the future you could write a death date? I don't remember now.
Like, 23 days or something?
The shinigami were wise to the "Dies at 102 while surrounded by her favorite cats" trick.
I remember it being a stupid odd number
Yeah, 23
I went back to watch the pre-episodes.
How is it that L-clone is picking up a suspect but looks like he's propositioning him?
"Hey, there. Tamper with evidence often?"
He acted generally normal in this episode which just makes the weirdness in the movie weirder.
I guess it was living up to the L name or whatever.
The sucker moment was great, though.
I guess I'm just weak to Ls and L-equivalents with suckers.
He took that sucker and ATE IT!
Also, how about Kira's... uh, worshipper or devotee or whatever the fuck that guy's name was when he got the Death Note?
Plurk did not tell me there were replies!
My biggest complaint with him is the way he wrote the names in overly large letters.
This is not a good use of space!
Plurk! Not cool, man!
God, I know, they ALL do that. Except the doctor. Who had very good handwriting, surprisingly.
