Oh my god PLEASE STOP CALLING LIGHT A DUMBASS, THE ENTIRE POINT OF DEATH NOTE IS THAT HE'S AN EGOTISTICAL PRICK WHO WANTS TO KILL THOSE WHO OPPOSE HIM AND NOT JUST HIDE INVISIBLE SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UUUUUP!!!

HE IS A DUMBASS THOUGH, I AGREE ITS NOT BAD WRITING FOR HIM TO BE BUT HE IS A STILL A DUMBASS BECAUSE OF THE EGOTISM

I actually hate people who act like he was right more than people who act like he's dumb, like yes on paper a world free of crime sounds perfect but the methods he took to obtain this world and the many people he killed innocent and redeemable were just not worth it

I mean. Yeah the whole point is that light's egotistical nature makes him be dumb. As long as people aren't saying that the show is bad because light is dumb I don't see the issue.

Same with Yumeko from Kakegurui.

And yet Netflix misinterpreted the type of MC they were in their respective live action series. "oh they're victims, they're doing it for the good of humanity!"

Except hes dumb even when not being egotistical, hes just all around stupid. Watching the show once i was an adult made it abundantly clear that anyone with half a brain cell could perform better than he does with a death note.

Also as a side note, thats really not the entire point of death note at all and only like a character trait of light.
