ppl who genuinely ship lightmisa baffles me because 1. Misa deserves better 2. Light is a misogynist 3. Misa deserves better 3. Light is clearly a homosexual and 5. Have I mentioned Misa deserves better yet
Alois Trancy - I don’t care if he isn’t canon, this poor traumatised boy deserves a much better story than what we got in season 2. I feel the only way for him to have a second chance is to be put into the manga.
Marco Bodt - Our beloved freckled angel (literally) may be the main reason why Jean got amazing character development, but I still wished we got to see him more. Or at least give them both character development if he were kept alive.
Misa Amane - It’s understandable why everyone hates her like Alois, she’s the Harley Quinn of Death Note. I feel like she should’ve gotten a mini arc of realising how awful Light was to her and get over him. Sadly the show doesn’t care about females.
Carly Carmine - After rewatching the show, I noticed what a downgrade she got in season 2 much like Akiza and the twins. There is a whole controversy behind that but still, it’s sad to see her and her relationship with Jack go down the drain out of nowhere.
i think part of my fascination revolving around rem is that she's one of the few "monstrous" women that is truly an equally unnerving/scary equivalent of her supposed male counterpart. she's weird and monstrous and terrifying in the eyes of the average person (as confirmed by the few who saw her that are unfamiliar with shinigami) and her design in general is just awesome, yet she is the first and only to explain that shinigami don't just simply experience dread - they're capable of love, and obsessive love at that.
i will also never forgive the fact that she had to die for misa but light gets to continue to be a huge annoying misogynist to misa/misa doesn't acknowledge the loss much.
the tragedy of rem dying for the woman she loves is of course why re*misa appeals to me, but in the end, i don't think it was justified. the narrative got rid of one of its most interesting characters and, as a result, one of its most interesting dynamics, just to finally remove L from the equation. it's especially egregious to me as misa had sacrificed ANOTHER half of her lifespan to finish light's elaborate plan, only for her to not use it for its intended purpose. good god
"we need more traumatized women characters with cptsd and are abuse victims that are actually portrayed realistically and don't always show symptoms that are 'cute', 'soft' or 'pretty'!!!" y'all couldn't even handle erica from gangsta.
Why has some kind of death note renaissance popped up out of nowhere. Why am I seeing "was light right, y/n" discourse in 2024 with my own two eyes. Where am I.
actually its so hard to get into death note as an adult. you have to be a teen and think L and light are the coolest and then revisit that obsession later as an adult and realize its a comedy
