Topic	Why is "L" from Death Note black now?
Zeus 08/18/17 5:45:25 PM #28:	agesboy posted... oh wow, it is set in the US that's kind of really weird light turner lmfao It's kinda typical with these adaptations. And no matter where it's set you have some leeway with "L" because he's portrayed as a foreigner (despite looking pretty Asian in the manga, etc). green dragon posted... Zeus posted... Because diversity for the sake of diversity I don't get why people say this. It's a live action movie. Maybe he was just a better actor than all of the others Because that's pretty much always the reason. As for his qualifications as an actor, I already noted NEITHER one can act. Clearly it wasn't a matter of going with the best choice, since you if you wanted a black actor you could grab any black man off the street, hand him a script, and he'd probably do better. Kyuubi4269 posted... Why is L wearing a cover over his face? And why is Light now Paul Walker? Given that Paul Walker is over a decade older and four years dead, that'd be pretty impressive. Granted, if you were going to resurrect Paul Walker, this isn't the best use of it. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:885024072] in Why is &qu...
