The only good decision made for this movie is Willem Dafoe as Ryuk. But i guess the old saying of "A broken pot is watched twice a day so it never boils clocks" is true.
My favorite thing about them giving Light two weeks detention is that instead of finding an unconscious, beaten child and asking any follow-up questions, they go through his stuff and yell about plagiarism. The American school system at its finest.
Are you saying that when you find unconscious teenagers, you DONT go through their bags to see if they have anything cool to steal? Clearly you're the weird one
I've been waiting years for this comment to be relevant, when Ryuk threatens light about writing his name, Ryuks name is already written in the death note as a warning to not trust him
He could just Copy/Paste and then BOOM he's dead (or maybe in the book it's actually spelled wrong since it doesn't matter, they're not trying to kill him)
I can't believe Netflix made this entirely originally when they could have just adapted a much better anime by the same name... must be one of those crazy situations like giant meteor movies or all the boys being named Jason and the girls are all called Brittany
@@dariendarkhouse8538 Well... the conclusion of the second part was super contrived, even more so than this one, but then again thec original writer is to blame, he stzarted it with L saying "don't worry detective you sliding down a mattress to escape death by a hare's breath is exactky how I wrote it in the Death Note"
This was so bad, I couldn't get through it, so I watched a bunch of breakdowns that let me know I'd made the right choice. Thankfully, this prevented Netflix from poorly adapting other beloved... oh.
you ever just watch a movie and go, "The Ass movie in Idiocracy was pretty well made deserved the oscars it won" thats how i felt watching deathnote. And that thought makes about as much sense as them adapting this story to live action
Its so funny how this live action is trying to make Death Note have meaning or a fall from grace when the original version was like "what if a cop's son got a death book wouldnt that be fucked up"
what is a fall from grace if not wasting all the potential and opportunities handed to you, in pursuit of becoming "god". like anime!Light running past a vision of his former self is pretty heavy-handed with thematic tragedy etc
It wasn't for a lack of trying, since had to imagine a face the Death Note would have killed a famous rock star and the organization behind the orphanage erased L's data, only the old man knew, who fell victim to the second death god saving Misa Misa. Which is understandable, it's Hirano Aya after all :D
As a native Seattleite, I can confirm that the least realistic part of this movie is people who live in Seattle running for cover from the rain. I've lived here for all, but five years of my life and I do not own an umbrella.
18:27 Out of all the funny things you and Dave (RIP Caleb) have done, for some reason this tickled me the most. If I could make it my ringtone, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Maybe then I would like getting phone calls.
I interpreted it as Ryuk just messing with Light, considering Ryuk's name is already written in the book ("don't trust Ryuk, he's not your pet, he's not your friend"). So yeah Ryuk (and thus the movie) knows it wouldn't work, but Light doesn't (probably)
@@tianig1181 If you go by the original source material, the very bored Ryuk found an ownerless Death Note because a fellow death god fell in love with a mortal and perished upon saving her life. Thus Ryuk owns another book that he never tells Light about, and he feequentky updates the new owner's name so anybody who tries to kill him die by their own hands
@@akosbarati2239 1. if you're thinking of Gelus dying for Misa, Rem gets that notebook, not Ryuk. 2. the only notebook Ryuk owns, besides his original one, is Sidoh's. Sidoh is not dead. 3. Light knows about that notebook anyway. 4. what are you referring to by "updates the new owner's name" etc.? when does Ryuk write owners' names down? and how does that not kill said owners already?
1:52 Dr. Jordan, LOVING the ongoing nerd references! "What the hell is going on?" Well, my lovely Black undercover reporter lady guest appearing on my favorite season when The Doctor joins up with Donna. What is going on is adipose is attacking the earth! To anyone who doesn't know The Doctor: Adipose attacking earth was like if Ozempic let you see the massive amounts of fat walking away from you, and it was just totally adorable! Like a cuddly Pokémon character. I can't even with the esoteric references that feel designed to both warm my heart and get me to watch these videos multiple times
I remember about two weeks before this movie was announced, my buddy and I were discussing who we'd pick to star in a live action Death Note movie, and the only guy we both picked was Willem Dafoe as Ryuk. He just seemed so perfect for it, and he is. Too bad the rest of the movie is a disaster lol
Wait, why do they think it's this random boy? Why does he care that L appears? He's a non-entity. Ignore him. There's absolutely no way Light can be tied to these deaths around the world. I don't understand any of this.
Basically because the names of the obscure criminals killed in Japan were planted in the Seattle police database or something, which means whoever is “doing” the killings is getting names from there and Light theoretically has access through his dad BUT that also makes no sense he’s killing people with a magic book haha
@@Drjordanbreeding In the original source material, given how criminals were killed based on information only available to the police, the Japanese FBI (Public Security Bureau, yes they're real) locked the info down in cooperation with Interpol. Suspected criminals were arrested secretly and placed in witness protection, yet Light killed them anyway. This clued L into realizing the killer only needs a name and a face. As the first killings started where Light's father was the superintendent, he was not told the info is confidential and by allowing access L figured it has to be the Yagami household. Based on scheduling, murders never occurred during school hours; therefore the perp had to be an adolescent. His sister exhibited no behavior arousing suspicion. A death row inmate agreed to play the role of the fictitious Lind L. Taylor who L claimed to be in exchange for clemency. L immediately killed him and he thought he won. Except he fell into a psychological trap because the transmission wasn't global but Japan only and meant to be broadcast region by region. By killing the unrelated inmate, Light revealed he is in fact and is, in fact, killing people by simple knowing their names and faces. That evokes mad respect out of Ryuk. Killing the FBI agents was also a psychological trap while taking the subway he disguised his voice on the phone and told his tail he kidnapped his girlfriend and will kill her if he doesn't write their names down. Unknown to the FBI agent the page he is writing on was a Death Note page. Light figured it rapidly that the 7 days rule is valid for the book as well. So you can tear up as many pages as you as long as it returns within 7 days to retain ownership, and no, others writing in it has no use. The point where Light was the smart had my head spinning for quite a while. After his source material girlfriend got busted and her clumsiness tied him to Light, the arrested teen had no idea why he was detained. For a long time, I was thinking is he this good at faking not to remember anything about Death Notes, or Ryuk, until Ryuk showed up at another guy to continue the killings. When he got caught and Light got the book back, it was revealed he swapped death gods with his partner, and her death god stayed with him with the captured Death Note. A piece of the original book tied his ownership to the Death Note albeit not remembering. Eventually the other death god sacrificed himself to kill L and that episode was... bad.
20:10 In the original Death Note manga, the pages could be ripped out and work. They were instrumental several times. The FBI agents were killed when light was able to trick an FBI agent who tailed Light to write the names of the other agents on a ripped page without any trace to Light. It was also instrumental in the finale when Light tried to kill his opponent on a scrap piece of death note. Buuut this netflix version has their own rules. Many worse lol
Dammit, DJB, that was funny and clever and I liked it. The original manga/anime was, I believe, Not Crap, but that doesn't stop Hollywood from crapifying good stories! Special shoutout to your use of a song from Chicago 19.
Its rly funny how reluctant white Light is to kill ppl at first, manga/anime Light had the Death Note for a day or so and he immediately began murdering criminals with no remorse. Ryuk just showed up like "damn boy you sure love killing its like you were just waiting for an opprotunity to commit mass murder"
The image of the demon banging his shins made my day. It reminds me of the Netflix show 'Evil.' Ooooooooo!!!!! Do all 4 seasons of Evil!!! 1 and 2 on Netflix, 3 and 4 on Paramount +. (All available on pirate sites...)
Clutchin' at my heart... PANIC SETTING IN... (looks over at TWO DEATH NOTE MOVIES....) WHEW... 2006 Deathnote Movies!!! Warner Brothers... NOT NETFLIX!!! I feel so much better knowing they exist... And Netflix was cancelled long ago!!!
I'm so glad this movie got rid of all the smart moments from the series and changed them to be stupid and make less sense. Really makes for a much easier watch when I don't have to pay attention or put thought in to understanding the film.
Mr. Doctor, while I enjoyed both this and the dragonball movie video, I've noticed that you make great long form videos too. Maybe you should try doing entire anime series. Try full metal alchemist brotherhood ❤
You can clearly see scenes cut out, scenes that would have made sense. And the L thing… Did they just read the cliff notes version? It’s like they had no idea of who these characters are. I watched it once, thought it was possibly a fever dream. Watched it again a couple of months later, then I realized they made it into a fever dream. They butchered it. 😔
Man, a lot of Death Notevteally hinges on the Lind L. Tailor scene. Pretty baffling this version replaces it with Light *not* killing someone as proof of something.
@@DrjordanbreedingI love them all the longer once and month and the one a week months. It’s her schedule. Damned EMT bullshit, saving lives when I have Jordan Breeding to watch. Are we ever gonna get new M.O.M.?
@@Celtic_Blade I've got two more written, it's just hard to justify the cost/time at the moment, but I'm sure it'll happen eventually. Maybe it'll be a fun end of the year thing.
I never understood what people loved so much about Death Note : detestable protagonists, decisions that make no sense, plot-holes, distorted values, try to be clever but totally miss the point, think is cool to be edgy but nothing's deep... It's just a self insert story for the people who dream about beeing able to kill at will with no consequences...
If you live in a restrictive and repressive society like Japan, the ability to be Kira is liberating, but the creators never made him the protagonist, if anything that would be Mellow. Light is ac psychotic megalomaniac who killed his followers out of scorn.
If the old guy couldn’t reveal L’s real name because he didn’t know it, why was he able to call Light’s cell phone? Did he somehow know Light’s phone number beforehand?
Light knows the number, and puts it in the death note entry, so Watari gets that info. It's the same way prisoners (earlier in the movie) write messages about Kira in languages they don't speak.
Dr.Breedington Please do Neon Genesis Evangelion it is wild and a huge favorite to many Japanese and Americans ❤ you having to describe shinjis struggles would be funny af
This was horribly pleasurable to watch. 😂 I think Netflix loves hiring incompetent writers and directors to churn out a bunch of 🐂💩 they can quickly cancel, then starting more half-baked 🐂💩 for another round. This way they can tell their stakeholders how they're keeping down costs and bringing in new lineups.
