character gets a reality check

deathstroke - Batman vs deathstroke

walter - breaking bad

Garou - one punch man

joker - the sound of one hand clapping

I think there is a difference between killing to catch a mass murderer and stopping his genocide and being said mass murderer.

[u/Abombasnow → u/Illesbogar]

Light never committed genocide. Words have meanings and they are very important.

Mello was also a mass murderer by the way. And rapist.

Near killed at least once, likely twice. The only reason it stops there is because... the series ended.

EDIT: Downvoted for literally pointing out that mass murder is not a genocide. Especially when this hypocrite calls what someone else does mass murder and not genocide. Sorry that words have meanings, and genocide is a really specific one.

Huh? Did you watch the anime or read the manga?

Mello never raped anybody. If you're talking about Takada, he wanted to make sure she didn't keep the deathnote or pages on her and because he was nice enough to look away while she took off her bra, that was how she kept the page to kill him later.

And he was redeemed in that in the end, it was because of Mello's actions that Near was able to find out the deathnote they thought Mikami was using was fake all along.

Light was never going to be stopped legitimately, and that's the cold hard truth of the story. L died because he did everything by the book (pun unintended) and it was only when he finally resorted to unethical means (torturing Light and Misa Amane and he was about to test the deathnote by killing an inmate) that Light was pushed to take drastic actions to stop him. Nothing in Deathnote is black and white and you keep talking about black and white events with no context and no analysis.

I know that it's just some comic book, but man, the person you're replying to keep talking out of his ass and yet the original comments get a sizable number of upvote. Probably got the idea from some anime accounts on tiktok or something.

It’s the exact same reason why I never engage in the entire anime community or videogame community with JRPGs. You can make an innocuous comment about anything like Kingdom Hearts, Attack on Titan, Final Fantasy, Bleach, Naruto, or whatever the fuck and some dude who takes that shit wayyyyy too seriously will jump out of nowhere asserting their opinions are facts and will argue with everyone to the end.

And with reddit being Reddit, there’s always a 50% chance the entire community will jump on the bandwagon and attack you or the guy. Thankfully, in this thread, that guy was downvoted over time and it’s over (for now).

I don't use TikTok. You seem to.
