It took me a while to realize he was writing 2fa in the hopes it would “die”, the first few times i saw this i presumed it was some kind of trick were the book was asking for another factor.

It’s from a show called Death Note. A guy finds a book in which you enter the names of people you want dead, and then they die. It’s a pretty good show. Kind of a cat and mouse detective show almost, but with a supernatural twist.
9 daysThe main character is kind of a dumbass though. Even as far as teenagers with delusions of grandeur go.
I think it detracts from the main premise of a detective show. Not that it becomes automatically bad; all the other characters carry it enough. But it would be a truly great show if Light was as intelligent as he is presented to be.
As it is, Death Note is less of a detective show involving supernatural elements, but a show about supernatural involving detective elements. The story I got from it wasn’t of two masterminds clashing in a battle of strategy, but of a vulnerable teenager being used by supernatural entities for their amusement. Which makes me feel misled.

Why were you expecting something in the first place? Doesn’t sound to me like it’s the fault of the show.
I thought the show was amazing. Very novel concept. Both sides don’t need to be masterminds. I don’t see how that would’ve been better. The deductions of one mastermind is enough for me to ride on. 👍
Why were you expecting something in the first place?
Because that’s how storytelling works? If you don’t expect anything from the story, you aren’t invested into it and you aren’t enjoying it.

I mean why were you expecting something beforehand? Not during. I wasn’t expecting anything, and I still enjoyed the show for what it was. No need to add a second mastermind. What happened in the show was exciting, and I’m not so sure adding a second mastermind would’ve made it better. 🤷♂️

tried to watch death note again somewhat recently and having achieved some measure of class consciousness it does not hold up. light is such an irredeemable naive little capitalist boot licker. all he does is kill criminals, then spends the rest of the series in that ridiculous cat and mouse game he could have avoided by just ignoring it. he never once considers trying to undermine the economic and political systems that push people to commit crime in the first place. like what if he was a japanese luigi? such a waste of an interesting story idea.
That’s kinda the point, Light is an ergonomical lunatic with a god complex who very early on starts killing more or less innocent people for the insult of getting in his way. He isn’t an anti-hero he is a sociopathic lunatic who if he was in a grimdark setting would be sitting next to Griffith and FUCKING Erebus. Hell he isn’t even all that complex since at least say Erin Yeager had the excuse of getting mind fucked and being put into a bad situation by himself, his ancestor, and the fact the world was genocidal to his people.
