    Just learned that Netflix is making an adaptation of Death Note in which 'Light Turner' and 'Mia' battle L (played by a black guy) and it's set in the US.

     

    I can appreciate that much of Death Note's content could take place in contemporary US, but if their americanizing it this much, how are they going to explain the concept of shinigami? With clunky exposition about 'death gods'? Comparisons to the grim reaper? Or will they drop the concept entirely?

     

    I recently saw Edge of Tomorrow, and while it was okay, the american style happy ending and gun dominated battle scenes, didn't hold a candle to the bitter sweet and visceral manga adaption of the light novel that I read while watching the movie.

      Well it can't be as bad as Dragon Ball Evolution...

      Actually now that I have thought about it for 2 minutes Death Note works for a movie story line. It could be quite good. Even if they go well off script the concept in general is doable.

      As I see it the first half of Death Note (everything before Mello and Near), could be divided as:

       

      Intro

      Lind L Taylor test (where L comes in)

      Raye Pember

      Naomi Misora

      Ryuzaki and the 2nd Kira 

      3rd Kira (Yotsuba)

      L Dies

       

      Now parts can be removed but the 1st half is generally Light finding out what he can do, and the 2nd half is his battle with L.

      Highly unlikely 3rd kira happens (as shinigami were essential to making that plot happen) and with 'Mia' cast, the 2nd Kira is clearly happening. Do they have L lose? I can't see that happening. Light is the villain and so they'll probably change the ending so that L wins since I don't see the 2nd half of the manga being adapted.
