Netflix’s Death Note Trailer is Upon Us

I was one of those people that managed to avoid almost the entirety of the whole Death Note thing. Other than a smattering of the memes. And Castlevania: Judgement’s character designs.

Death Note
I don’t know about you, but when I think of “Lord of Darkness akin to Satan on Earth”, I think “giant golden nipples”. Konami

And so, I really don’t much care one way or the other about Netflix’s Death Note. I will note how silent the types that screech endlessly about racebending have been about how all of these Japanese characters are now not Japanese, though. Funny, how the Tumblr mindset works. For things that aren’t Ghost in the Shell, that is.

Personally, they got perfect casting with Willem Dafoe as Ryuk, I think. They’re not using his face, though, which is sort of weird to me. You go and tell me he couldn’t rock the makeup for that character.

Death Note Willem Dafoe
Mr. Dafoe, if you (or your lawyers) are reading this, I may be a dick, but I’m not the first to think it.

Anyway, Netflix’s Death Note is happening, unlike American Akira. And even with CG Ryuk, it’ll probably cost less per episode than Sense8. And bring in more viewers.

~Honestly, It’s sorta giving me this impression with the renames. No shits given, unless Willem Dafoe’s lawyer gets involved. Lawyers can be scarier than any Death God.~
