Live Blogging: Death Note (The Movie)

DEATH NOTE, NETFLIX ORIGINAL FILM (Somehow… I don’t know how, but apparently it is an original even though it existed prior to the creation but you know, NETFLIX and shit…)

 Blogger’s Note: I’ve watched Death Note the anime and I’ve read about half of the manga, so I’m decently familiar with how this story is supposed to pan out, okay, and I’m just going to live blog my feelings about this thing that exists. You don’t have to agree or disagree with my ramblings. That being said, I never trust a nearly perfect rating – which this film has – so let’s just move on forward.

YOU ARE HEREBY WARNED OF SPOILERS FOR BOTH THE DEATH NOTE MOVIE, THE DEATH NOTE ANIME, AND THE DEATH NOTE MANGA.

 PRE-WATCH: I’ve seen a few different trailers. I’m excited to see L being played by a person of color since it gives us this anti-hero/heroic character that is generally viewed with positivity. That’s particularly awesome. I’m also impressed that they were able to keep Ryuk looking so much like he does in the manga and anime.

 Ready – set – and - - -

 GO:

 Suspenseful music…. Two screens of NETFLIX ORIGINAL reminding me how mad I am that it isn’t actually an original – that the word they wanted was actually EXCLUSIVE. But fuck Netflix in particular, they are big enough that they can probably get away with stupid shit like this.

 Light doing other peoples’ homework for cash bothers me.

 This bitchy cheerleader is already annoying. If that is Amane I’m going to be super pissed off. I hate Amane to begin with, if I’m being honest, so this girl is going to really seal that deal.

 Side note, I really fucking hate that this is a bunch of white kids. I hope that this shit at least ends up taking place in America to justify such a dumb fucking change.

 I really don’t like anything yet. Light is super OOC which is annoying.

 MIA? MIA? Please tell me that this is not a name change for Misa Amane…….

 LIGHT’S MOM IS DEAD? OKAY THERE IS NOTHING SIMILAR EXCEPT THAT LIGHT IS HIS NAME AND HE HAS A DEATH NOTE.

 Two weeks of detention… Oh yeah, that’s so much trouble – holy fuck.

 I spy a Brit flag in the background… Perhaps this is not taking place in America?

 Oh goodness gracious they’re going to have him kill because he’s being petty and pissy. That is not how this happened.

 Not to mention – the rules populate as time passes, or as circumstances arise. And the pages were blank when he got it… He didn’t open this thing at school – HE DID NOT EVEN FIND IT AT SCHOOL…

 Light was quiet smart, anti-social, not interested in girls… He had his whole family… This Light is a cocky, orphan, coward who uses his intelligence to make a quick buck and save his ass.

 I don’t like Ryuk’s voice. It bothers me that Ryuk isn’t visible at all times. The way Ryuk speaks is even wrong.

 I like swearing – I can get behind that shit.

 I hate that this is so misleading because the scenario is pretty accurate, but – it seems like he was already planning to do that anyway.

 Ryuk DID NOT give it to Light for the potential he has – it’s just so wrong.

 I get the feeling that Light’s dad might be a drunk.

 Well maybe, maybe his father is just a nitpicky father cop.

 Holy hell if he kills his dad I’m going to punch walls for fucking real.

 R EYE IKKKK

 NOT EVEN CLOSE THIS IS THE FUCKING AVATAR ALL OVER AGAIN HOLY SHIT HELP ME I AM SO MAD

 For the record, Ryuk doesn’t turn lights off and act like a Boogeyman – he’s actually like a shadow and he’s generally really quiet and kind of sassy. He likes to tell jokes. Ryuk isn’t particularly frightening in any way except his appearance.

 Oh, they fixed his name. It’s about as close as it’s going to get in an American accent.

 That’s not what happened with the Death Note passing happened. Ryuk did it as a joke. There’s a different shinigami who actually had this happen – but you know – Netflix is taking a page of the book Disney read before destroying the canon!verse of Star Wars…. So…

Fuck Netflix and Disney.

 I’m kind of pissed off

 Woah – pause – that death was horrifyingly graphic.

 Also, these are all supposed to be heart attacks. There’s no possible way for this story to properly play out when the deaths are not actually heart attacks – and not actually only criminals.

 So I’m pissed off about so many things… But like… the fact that Light is just reading the Death Note all over the place in public.

 Holy fuck – Light is trying to get that Mia vagina hard….

  LOL

 Only the keeper can see the shinigami is a lie. Any person that touches it can see the fucking death god.

 IT IS PISSING ME OFF QUITE A BIT THAT THEY ARE ONLY TAKING A FEW KEY MOMENTS AND THEN CHANGING EVERYTHING ELSE AND IT SO DIFFERENT…

 I mean it’s super American, and if I didn’t know what was up, this probably would be pretty great.

 This girl playing Mia is the next Kristen Stewart – calling it right here and right now.

 I foresee an unnecessary sex scene. Yep – it is happening now probably.

 HEY I LOVE THAT HE ASKS – BUT SHE IS SAYING HE DOESN’T HAVE TO ASK BUT MALES OF THE EARTH – ALWAYS ASK

 So, just for your information, there was never anything sexual in the books – not explicitly.

 THEY’RE WRITING NAMES AND FUCKING OH MY GOD THE FUCK

 It’s not American if there’s not unnecessary sex.

 I’m beginning myself to chill out and try to finish this shitty ass movie.

 IS HE LITERALLY HAVING THE VICTIMS WRITING THE NAME LORD KIRA BEFORE DEATH

 This is so disgustingly fucked up.

 I revoke previous compliments. I do not approve of any of this bullshit.

 THE ACTUAL LIGHT, LIGHT FUCKING YAGAMI WAS SUCH A NORMAL FUCKING PERSON AND DID NOT GO AROUND LOOKING FOR PRAISE HE WAS HAPPY TO BE ANONYMOUS..

 Oh look tits… There has to be tits somewhere, right? For it to sell there must be tits.

Maybe if I just make the book cover of my first book a picture of tits it will sell bunches.

 THEY HAVE THE ACTOR WHO PLAYERS HIRO NAKUMURA TALK ABOUT THE NAKUMURA FAMILY omg

 Random singing????

 L does have money to spare at his disposal for sure, but he was never so obvious because it draws in a lot of attention.

 HOW DO I LOOK – Psh… listen – this whole show is fucked.

 What happened to his office dudes? Like, the hell?

 Watari is correct, and he’s younger than he really was, but at least he’s the correct race. That bugs me big time – but I read fanfiction set as an AU – so I’ll just bite my tongue.

 HE IS NOT SITTING THE WAY HE IS SUPPOSED TO SIT

 IN CLASS? She’s so fucking weird.

 You know what, I might be able to appreciate Misa Amane after this shit. What a weird feeling.

 Back tracking – L kept his letter pretty spot on.

 Now listen, L ate a lot of candy, but he wasn’t like an addict or anything.

 My husband wants you to know that he hates Mr. Turner’s sideburns.

 L is sitting a little bit more the correct way. He usually balances on his feet.

 Is that seaweed ice cream or something?

 REST YOUR GLUTES?!

 He’s got the L mannerisms pretty spot on – but L wears pajamas, doesn’t cover his face – and actually doesn’t present himself publically because it could cost him his life.

 THERE IS SO MUCH WRONG AND IT HURTS ME

 Ryuk makes a joke – SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUAL CANON.

 This whole movie is solid fanfiction content, honestly.

 INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR

 DID YOU MEAN CONSULTING DETECTIVE?

 Let’s get a fanfiction of Death Note and Sherlock.

 In the manga/anime – his dad accepts that his son must be followed.

 HE IS BAREFOOT YASSSS

 I think she’s really absolutely nuts – this Mia. I’m really glad Light fucking sassed the shit out of her for wanting to just kill everyone.

 SHE FUCKING STOLE THE BOOK DIDN’T SHE?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

 And I’m taking dead Pearl as a sign that she fucking took the book. She is fucking reckless as hell and that is pretty spot on for Amane.

 L IS NOT THAT EMOTIONAL – HE IS TRAINED NOT TO BE THAT WAY

 I AM SO MAD – RYUK NEVER INTERFERES.

 You can’t kill a shinigami with a Death Note. There’s only one way to kill a shinigami.

 WHY DIDN’T HE THINK OF HIS BITCH ASS GIRLFRIEND DOING THAT DICK SHIT TO GET HIM CAUGHT OMG

 This is so sloppy and messy.

 She wants to kill his dad. Saying shit about his mom like that – low blow – fuck her.

 I can’t even with this movie right now because I have a lot of negative feelings. There’s so much wrong about it – and yet it does resemble the original enough that I can follow the progression with little agitation.

 L DOES NOT KNOW IT. HE THINKS KIRA IS AT LIKE ONLY 7% OMG.

 LIGHT IS CONFIRMING THAT HE IS KIRA

L IS GETTING PHYSICAL AND HE NEVER DOES THAT – except like twice.

 I just hate that so much character building was just thrown out the window like little pieces of confetti.

 Looks like Light has no time for Mia’s shit.

 Oh, the penis twitches when he heard her say “I LOVE YOU” which is fake as shit. This cliché bologna is a mess. I am a mess and I want to vomit. Cry vomit.

 Watari was never manipulated from what I recall… I don’t like this…

 They’re making L way more emotional than he was and I don’t like it. He does eventually realize that he has some emotions and that they’re foreign to him, but he’s super chill about it.

 LIGHT’S DAD TRUSTED KIRA ABOVE ALL ELSE, EVEN HIS SON, AND I HAVE SO MUCH RAGE ABOUT THIS.

 THERE ARE SO MANY FUCKING LOOSE ENDS… THE AMERICANIZED THE SHIT OUT OF THIS RIGHT DOWN TO AN ABSURD NUMBER OF PLOT HOLES

 This whole orphanage shit scene is made the fuck up – never happened. None fo this shit with Watari was a thing – I’m pretty fucking sure. My memory isn’t perfect but it is pretty fucking good.

 I also hate that Light just passing off the charge to fucking Mia. L did not trust Amane at all.

 THEY ARE SO OOC AND IT IS HARD FOR ME TO READ OOC FANFICTION, AND PROVING TO BE EVEN HARDER TO FUCKING WATCH HALP ME

 I kind of have this feeling that Mia is going to kill Light at the end of all of this and that they’re going to try to make another movie or something. Please don’t do that Netflix.

 RYUK WAS NOT LIKE THIS. I AM ACTUALLY CRYING.

 I need Light to kill Mia, probably, because this bull shit of her going rogue.

 They’re getting this shit right, though, because she’s being manipulative and sociopathic and it’s pretty good. It’s a predictable twist and kind of pathetic and I hate everything.

 Why did Netflix have to ruin this shit.

WHY DID THEY FEEL THE NEED TO RUIN IT?!

 DEATH NOTE WAS A GEM AS IT EXISTED IN IT’S ORIGINAL STATE.

 I think that he should just write that she dies at 11:59 so that he can watch her ass die in his final moments. That’s how this movie needs to end for it to redeem itself.

 Honestly, this would make a really popular fanfiction. Probably hundreds of reviews and hundreds of thousands of views – and I would’ve been happier with it being a fanfiction.

 THIS LORD KIRA EX MACHINA SHIT OMG

 Let’s remember that this doesn’t qualify as an original and I’m trying to calm the fuck down and I just need this to be over.

 I really just hope that they both die. I mean, if they could do that for me because in the manga/anime – they do both die and I think they need to keep at least that much accurate.

 THIS MOVIE IS SUCH A JOKE OMG

 Did he magically lose consciousness? Is she dead? There are questions that need answering.

 I am so mad because they’ve basically confirmed there will be a second film… And I cannot believe that this is going to even happen. I have so much feelings right now.

 Hate feelings, mostly, but if this wasn’t an anime/manga – this would be pretty dope. I have to give Netflix some credit there. I honestly think that for as much fucking this up as they’ve done – that there are things that are working.

 The hyper-Americanization of it really leaves a sour taste in my mouth – but it’s not TERRIBLE. It is very fucked up and terrible and rotten and I want it to be RIGHT. But… since it cannot be right… AT LEAST IT IS GOOD.

  L WRITING LIGHT’S NAME IS THE MOST MAKING ME DED THING EVER

  And that open ended ending makes me feel like I need some alcohol.

 So I’m going to rate this like…

 3.5/5. It’s better than average and has it’s spectacular moments, but the numerous plot holes were inexcusable at times. I could have handled the Americanization and the AU sense – IF, and only IF – the characters had been more accurate to their original incarnations. If those characterizations had been more accurate, I think I would have been a little bit less upset about the other changes.

 Honestly, if you can set yourself aside from the wild differences, it’s worth the watch.

Emmeryn/Aversa C-S

give emmeryn girlfriends!

pastebin

C:

Aversa: (happy) There you go, Nyx… such a good girl. I know we don’t go on flights as much as we used to, but… you liked that, didn’t you?

Aversa: … I suppose it really is just us now. No master, no orders… just you, me, and the sky.

Aversa: (distressed) I should be happy… really. But instead I’m just scared. I never thought I’d get to fly with you on my own terms again… *sigh*

Emmeryn: …?

Aversa: (angry) …! Who’s there?

Emmeryn: Ah… only me… am I… not allowed?

Aversa: … Oh, it’s you. No, no, I was just… leaving.

Emmeryn: Leaving…?

Aversa: Yes, it’s what you do when nobody wants you around.

Emmeryn: But… I want… you around.

Aversa: You know, most other people who've said that are dead. I’ll be taking my leave. Farewell.

Emmeryn: (distresed) But…

B:

Emmeryn: (smile) Hello…

Aversa: (angry) Ah! Who—

Aversa: Stop doing that. Do I need to contact your dear little brother and have him attach a bell to your robes?

Emmeryn: Bell? Why?

Aversa: (… Gods, she’s serious. Horrible of me, but I thought she was making it up… I suppose the faster they rise, the faster they fall.)

Aversa: … Nothing. You startled me, is all.

Aversa: Is there something you want, er…

Emmeryn: Emm… Emmeryn… is fine.

Aversa: Ah… milady. Was there something you wanted?

Emmeryn: (neutral) Yes. You… ran away… the other day. Why… did you? Was it… me?

Aversa: … Partially.

Emmeryn: It… was? Why…?

Aversa: … *sigh*

Aversa: Darling, do stop looking so pitiful. You… truly don’t remember who you used to be? The things that you did?

Emmeryn: No…

Aversa: … Well, I can’t say I don’t relate, at least a little bit.

Emmeryn: …!

Aversa: Mine were stolen, a long time ago. I… had forgotten a great deal of how I grew up. Master Validar saw my talent for magic and decided he must have me for himself… So naturally, he burned my village and stole my memories of it.

Aversa: (angry) For the longest time, I thought… that was all I was. That I was made to serve his whims. Made to lead the Plegian armies, made to…

Aversa: … Well. For both moral and legal reasons, I can’t speak of it in detail in polite company.

Aversa: Suffice to say, it’s… new, doing what I want instead of going by the whims of others.

Aversa: But there’s no point in speaking on it, anyway. Every damned soldier here reeks of tragedy… Why should mine matter?

Emmeryn: I… see.

Aversa: … Ah. Listen to me talk. Surely you have better to do than tend to me. (Considering…)

Aversa: Farewell.

Emmeryn: … *sigh*

Emmeryn: Why is it… everyone… I speak to…

Emmeryn: Always… in a rush… to leave…?

Emmeryn: It can’t… be me…

Emmeryn: (distressed) …Can it?

Emmeryn: (neutral) But… Aversa… we have much… in common.

Emmeryn: You speak… so low of yourself…

Emmeryn: I… understand… but…

Emmeryn: (distressed) Why… block yourself off? Even… if you’ve done… bad things…

Emmeryn: (neutral) You are here… with a second chance. Do you think… you don’t… deserve it?

Emmeryn: …

A:

Emmeryn: A… Aversa…

Aversa: Ah!

Emmeryn: Ah… I did it… again…

Emmeryn: You are… jumpy.

Aversa: (angry) Yes, well. Call it a survival reflex.

Aversa: What do you want?

Emmeryn: Just… to talk.

Aversa: Hah! With me? You’re not even great at it, anyway.

Emmeryn: (angry) …

Aversa: (distressed) Er… that was in poor taste. I apologize.

Emmeryn: (neutral) … I… accept.

Emmeryn: It is… late. What are…

Aversa: … I can’t hide anything from you, can I?

Aversa: I was just… thinking. Ordinarily I’d take Nyx out for a flight if I wanted to be alone with my thoughts, but she hates flying on overcast nights.

Emmeryn: May I… sit with you?

Aversa: I cannot stop you.

Emmeryn: …

Aversa: …

Emmeryn: You… can’t sleep?

Aversa: I don’t sleep much. As Validar’s right hand, I usually worked during the night, anyway… they had tales about me, you know.

Aversa: The Dark Angel of Plegia, who could pull secrets from the tightest lips… On the battlefield with Gangrel, I rallied the soldiers from the air.

Aversa: I suppose that’s where the nickname really stuck. Somehow they made me the flag to rally behind…

Aversa: (sad) They were good people. Brave. Ready to fight not for the crown or the cult, but for the people they knew and loved, that deserved protection and security…

Aversa: I saw many of them cut down.

Aversa: I fought, but I could not be everywhere… in the end, I had to be the one to be their hope, lead them alongside Gangrel again and again, even as more and more of their friends fell…

Aversa: *sigh*

Aversa: War helps nobody, not even the victors.

Aversa: Watching the soldiers in Plegia fight for their families, their friends, though… It still makes me think.

Aversa: In another world, could that be me?

Aversa: I have no family, nothing to fight for… even Avatar. His/her father raised me, but thinking of him/her as family would involve me thinking of Validar as a father…

Aversa: (angry) I’ll never think of him as a father!

Aversa: (sad) The whole situation is quite complicated. Nobody is telling me what to do or think anymore… Thus, I come out here, in the fresh air, to think. But you can’t even see the moon or stars tonight…

Aversa: Ruins the whole idea.

Emmeryn: …

Aversa: …I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to unload all of that onto you.

Emmeryn: I don’t… mind.

Aversa: What?

Emmeryn: (happy) Hehe… I’m glad… you feel at ease… enough to speak.

Emmeryn: Even… with me…

Emmeryn: I know… we must have… had our differences. I… can tell… from the way you look… at me…

Emmeryn: But… you always… seem so alone… so… lost…

Emmeryn: I am… not who I once was. I… want to help…

Emmeryn: If that means… listening… then… I will listen.

Emmeryn: It is… important… we all listen… to each other… then… we can be friends.

Aversa: …A lovely sentiment, milady.

Emmeryn: It is… more than sentiment…

Emmeryn: I believe… we can be friends, yes…?

Aversa: …Friends…

Emmeryn: And… you said… you had no family. No friends… nothing to fight for…

Emmeryn: And I’ve seen… how you speak… about yourself. You are… lonely…

Emmeryn: I… understand.

Emmeryn: (distressed) You… got your memories… back… but mine… are gone.

Emmeryn: When I try to look… all I see… is hurting…

Emmeryn: Anger… loneliness… sadness… fear…

Emmeryn: Nothing I did… ever felt like… it was enough…

Emmeryn: Even when… people said they loved me, it… didn’t feel real…

Emmeryn: Even I… didn’t feel real… sometimes…

Emmeryn: Like… floating away… and nobody would notice… if I died…

Emmeryn: … I don’t know… how long I felt this way…

Emmeryn: But… maybe… that is why… I am like this, now…

Aversa: … I thought I was the only one.

Aversa: I never imagined… you felt that way, too? All that time, I felt so alone… I was sure nobody else thought the things I did.

Emmeryn: (smile) Hehe…

Emmeryn: (neutral) I don’t like… that you know… how it feels. It is… horrible… to feel like that…

Emmeryn: But… I feel less alone… now that I know… I am not the only one…

Aversa: (smile) … I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Emmeryn: (smile) You know… I don’t… get that often.

Aversa: I can’t imagine why. You have quite a way with words, speech impediment be damned.

Aversa: You always did…

Aversa: Oh! The clouds are clearing! There’s the moon!

Aversa: … It’s beautiful in Plegia, but it’s a comfort to know the night sky never changes, from one country to another.

Emmeryn: May I… sit with you… to watch the stars?

Aversa: I would be honored.

S:

Aversa: (distressed) …

Aversa: (Gods, what am I doing?)

Aversa: (All this foolishness… for a woman. And I don’t even know if she feels the same…)

Aversa: (Damn her! She reads people so easily, and yet makes it impossible for herself to be read…)

Aversa: (I suppose all I can do is wait, and pray…)

Emmeryn: … Aversa?

Aversa: (neutral) Ah— yes, I’m right here.

Emmeryn: (happy) Hehe… I… should’ve known…

Emmeryn: It’s a… clear night, though… why… aren’t you flying?

Aversa: I… had something else I’d rather do.

Aversa: Truthfully, I… wanted to see you.

Emmeryn: …!

Emmeryn: You… wanted to see… me?

Aversa: Yes, I… (Gods, this is harder than I thought… ah, well. Best get it over with…)

Aversa: I… had something I wanted to speak with you about, and… I know you like watching the stars…

Aversa: (eyes closed, blush) I… treasure our friendship, Emmeryn. It has been a comfort in these past months greater than anything I’ve ever known.

Aversa: You’ve shown me that… I don’t have to be alone. That there’s more to the world than following orders and feeling… feeling like I’m a dead woman walking.

Aversa: In fact, I… may have… accidentally… caught…

Aversa: …Feelings…

Aversa: …For you.

Aversa: … (Gods. “Caught feelings?” What am I, a teenager?)

Aversa: (Honestly, I was probably better at this when I was a teenager…)

Aversa: … Y-you don’t have to feel the same. I understand if you don’t.

Aversa: But I… I couldn’t go on keeping it a secret. I’m in love with you, and the way you make me feel… I feel as if I could fly for hours and hours… like I’m free, but… for once, freedom isn’t scary.

Aversa: It used to be that I never even thought of leaving… I was so under Validar’s thumb that I was convinced I’d never make it two steps without guidance… without his guidance. When he died, I felt… so lost. Nothing to my name, no rank… I should’ve been dead.

Aversa: Ah, but I failed at that, too.

Aversa: But you made me feel like… for the first time in my life, I can be free without fear.

Aversa: And that means… more to me than I have the words to say.

Aversa: …S-so, ah… I’ll be taking my leave, then.

Emmeryn: …Aversa.

Emmeryn: …

Emmeryn: (happy, blush) Hehe…

Emmeryn: I feel… the same…

Emmeryn: How… could I not?

Emmeryn: You have… charmed me… body and soul…

Emmeryn: And… I could think… of no finer woman… to love.

Aversa: Oh—

Aversa: (happy, blush) Oh, my! You really are charming!

Emmeryn: Hehe! Well… I try… for you…

Aversa: You don’t need to try, my darling. All I need is you.

Emmeryn: And that… is all I ask… of you…
