They just didn't get why people liked Death Note. Light is a creepy emo teen and L is a badass vigilante and that's completely backwards

Both guys should be doing the exact opposite of what they're doing - Light is not a cool punk rebel he's a smarmy Student Council kid

I mean even if you want Light to be a teen rebel in this version the kid they got is just completely unattractive

Willem Dafoe as Ryuk I concede is awesome but that's like 10% of the movie or less

I guess part of the problem is cultural, Death Note with Light and Misa was parodying shounen and shoujo manga respectively

So the super clean-cut hero and the obnoxiously adorable heroine everyone is in love with both don't translate to a US context

Is it that hard to cast a really pretty yet smarmy white boy? Doesn't Netflix have access to the whole cast of 13 Reasons Why
