>>220120692
there are so many bad people in the world that one notebook isn't enough. i wonder what would happen if he ran out of pages.

also since he can manipulate people he should have used it on the world leaders to get them to nuke the shit out of all the bad countries

The manga is way better

>>220120692
Because he was trying to kill the guy hunting him instead of just leaving it alone.

>>220120768
He was testing the boundaries of the notebook.

>>220120828
He never got to the part of creating a better world before tunnel-visioning into his ego combat game with L.

Haha if I had that notebook I would start a TV show called "Deadliest Butthole" and I would tell the world my asshole is deadly and challenge people to try it. People would think I'm insane but then people would start coming on the show, toss my rusty wrinkle ring, and then die. When government officials would try to shut down the show I would start feuds with them on social media saying, "you'll lick my butthole one day" and they would lash out at me. Then the next day they'll be on my show smiling and licking my bung hole on national TV. Haha but that's just me haha.

The biggest complaint I ever see with that scenario is that L gave Light several days or an entire week to make that plan after they took Misa into custody

>>220120728
What don't you get? You nailed it.
He knew he was a suspect so he put the fake rule about not writing a name for 30 days, and then had someone else fill in names.

It's basically impossible to commit a crime without leaving some kind of 'fingerprint' that narrows down the possible suspects. Even with a Death Note. L doesn't have to be a genius to figure shit out by deduction and then inference as you saw.

It's insane how many retards think they can commit crimes and outsmart the cops. The cops aren't even that smart, they've just being involved with that shit more times and first-time criminals think they're more unique than they actually are.

Death Note has to make all the cops and glowies totally retarded to make L look like a genius. They would have figured out quite a bit of the same shit L did before he even showed up.

Light is retarded not so much because of the things he does, but the bases he doesn't cover. He could have been caught a million ways, but in obvious ways he hadn't considered or just aren't addressed by the writing.

It's like you could bust Vic Mackey and the Strike Team in a nanosecond just by tapping their cellphones - obviously. Would Gus Fring really be safe just because he snapped a burner phone in half and dropped it into a garbage can with his finger prints all over it? Meanwhile they pay lip-service to this stuff to distract you from the fact they'd be fucked, like Light having cameras put in his room. L wouldn't even have to kill Light to see if the murders stopped, he could just unexpectedly disable him, (like prevent him from getting back to his room with some fake 'emergency' - or wherever he suspected the Death Note or some kind of method was being employed.

There are a million different tests you can dream up that even a 'genius' like Light dreams not of. That's why even Columbo can fuck over his suspects by just making shit up. Light can invent the 13 day rule, but L has the power to alter every bit of the data Light is getting about who the 'bad guys' are and what they supposedly did. He could use the same 'broadcast in Japan' trick to keep on narrowing it down.

Wrong. Shit can be just as glaringly obvious in terms of statistics as him being as blatant as he was. Wouldn't fool L. Wouldn't change a thing.

Like I said, criminals think they're smarter than they actually are. It's what 'they don't know they don't know' that gets them. Like making up numbers to commit a financial crime while being blissfully unaware of shit like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford's_law

You'd be less obvious if you wrote, "I'm cheating the IRS" in neon pink highlighter on the front of your tax return.

(You) don't know that Statistical Forensics is an entire field of study that exists and wouldn't know shit about if you did. (You) would get caught in a nanosecond if you tried this shit at a level high enough for anyone to give a fuck.

>>220124395
The only clue you have is at some point with enough people dying or a few people dying in strange ways you'd have some statistics. Like the only way to incriminate yourself is if you kill the people around you, people you're connected to.

>>220120692

>>220120692
The story had to make him retarded in order to progress. Classic case of idiots trying to write intelligent people. Instead of having an extremely intelligent and maticulous killer being chased by an equally intelligent detective. They just make the killer act retarded sometimes so it's not too hard for the detective (who also just acts retarded sometimes so it's not to hard for the killer).

>>220124818
I was on TikTok today and by far the most upvoted comment on one video was "who the fuck is Jerry Seinfeld"
I'm glad to see some cultured people here at least.

Never watched this garbage but a more interesting premise would be to have a book that kills people in a way that also endangers others around them, for example you want one guy to die, but he dies in a plane crash. Or you want someone else to die, they die in a car crash. At least that way every time you decide to kill someone, innocents suffer. Of course that would require good writing that leads to interesting conclusions.

Didn't Light have prisoners write messages with their own blood on the walls or stuff like that? Investing money as a billionaire doesn't seem any more unnatural than that.

Nah, it's why the cops always want to know shit like the height of a suspect. You can cover up your face and shit, but you can't conceal your height as easily. If you're outside the norm either way that's going to narrow it down more than you think, and even being average height eliminates a lot of people as plausible suspects in itself.

It's the same kind of trick that L uses initially that narrows down Light, but it cuts in many dimensions until you're stuck with one glaringly obvious faggot when you collect enough evidence for long enough. It's not about who did it, but who DIDN'T or more importantly COULDN'T have done it.

Eventually when you get down to the level of having individually idiosyncratic shit, like writing samples, you know you've got your man with practical 100% certainty, barring some other unlikely set up you need to double-check for. And once you have your primary suspect you can run tests and Columbo the living shit out of them.

>>220124947
Yeah. The manipulation rule is unclear if you ask me.

>>220120692
In the context of the show a god of death tells you that you can't go to heaven if you use the book....YOU DONT USE THE BOOK.

He used the book so he's retarded. You're basically giving up eternity for 40 years of trying to make Earth a peaceful place, but even if Earth sucks..still doesn't matter if there is a heaven.

Light was explicitly testing what he could do with the death note there.
I think there was some caveat that everyone has the capacity for suicide, so a weird suicide note isn't that strange.

>>220125047
What does your height matter for using the death note lol

>It's not about who did it, but who DIDN'T or more importantly COULDN'T have done it.
I get what you're saying, but you're talking generally about investigating stuff in real life. You're not talking concretely a death note. If you're seeing people killed with the death note, the answer to the question of who couldn't have done it is everyone. Because gods of death are not real nor even a topic for the people investigating it.

>>220124225
To be fair, it's fairly easy to get away with murder if your target is absolutely random and has zero link to you.
That's how serial killers exist.

But obviously, that kind of random murder of someone you don't know for no reason whatsover appeal to no one but complete psychos.
Normal people usually only kill someone they hate, which means someone they personally know (or someone famous, which greatly increases the odds of getting caught).

Light could've tho, if he wanted to, but he wanted to be known, it isn't that he didn't cover his bases is that he left breadcrumbs like serial killers do, because he wanted to go down in history as the God of Death, literally the only way you could tied any death to him is by assuming that magic exists, for that to happen you have to announce something like "GUYS I'M KILLING PEOPLE THROUGH MAGIC BE AFRAID" otherwise no one would consider it

Can someone please tell me why they thought it was a good idea to kill one of the main characters and replace him with a worse version?

>>220125211
>>220125352
This is why you'd get caught. You think you're not leaving clues when you can't help but do so.

Like Shia LaBeouf isn't thinking about stars and flight patterns when he's trying to hide his gay little HWNDU flag from the Internet hivemind using the entire planet Earth. Nor is a Colin Pitchfork thinking about microbiology and the possibility of DNA being used retroactively as evidence when he's committing his crime in 1983:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Pitchfork

Sure serial killers don't have a personal connection, but like marital infidelity, the big problem with that kind of murder is the need to be there personally. You're not going to send someone else to fuck your mistress for you and neither can Dexter Morgan not be there personally for his shit. That leaves clues.

You think the Death Note eliminates ALL evidence because it takes away that aspect, and maybe if you killed only a few people you'd get away with it, but you don't have to kill as many as you think to start bending the statistics like Beckham and have people start looking for the cause.

The point is 'the perfect crime' has always been a punchline in murder mysteries because nobody CAN know everything so you can't eliminate everything, and that's pretty much what fucks a lot of IRL murderers that do get caught.

Lind L. Taylor, (and L himself), was not something Light anticipated and emotionally reacted to in the moment, and it was a total set up just to probe for information. Like if the cops had a suspect pool of 100 people and zero idea of whodunit, so then just started pulling them into interrogation rooms and accusing them of the crime as if they know for a fact it was the person in the hot seat, chances are good they'll get the actual faggot to crack or at least give them more to work with. It's not rocket science if you're the cops, but it is if you're the murderer.

because the writer isn't a pussy faggot, next stupid question

>>220125912
I always like it when the bad guy 'wins', even if only temporarily, just to see him enjoy it.
Like it's cooler to see Deacon actually become the Blood God in 'Blade', rather than have the hero stop him from achieving victory at all - like some 'stop him at the last tick of the clock' bullshit.

Death Note really delivers with the death of L, I gotta say.

The problem after that to use the comparison of 'Blade' again, is in that case now Blade's job is even harder so the hero has to ice skate uphill to beat the now uber-powerful bad guy:
>hero reaches low point
>villain reaches peak power
>God of the New World
>Blade drinks blood and regains strength
>beats all the henchmen
>face off against final boss in God Mode
>WTF?
>villain is now unkillable because he has shitty 1998 CGI powers
>save the world from the jaws of defeat anyway using badassness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwG5MSjhee4

But Death Note is less satisfying because it's kinda backwards:
>Light has L on the ropes and they both know it
>L figures out at the last second what Light is doing
>Dies
>Light revels in victory over L
>God of the New World
>L's lesser "henchmen" come in after the fact
>somehow defeat Light because one of them can make a perfect forgery of an infinite supernatural book in only one night or ... because teamwork with Yellow Mellow makes the dream work or something ...
>meh

Might have worked if L was the younger but clearly superior threat already set up to be next in line and champing at the bit, helping Wattari/Near his inferior/less ruthless adult/older mentor who gets killed by Light. Then the full power of L is unleashed upon Light who gets WTFpwnt into oblivion by uber-pissed L at the Yellow Box. Something along those lines maybe.

>>220120692
It should have ended when L died but they brought in Near/Mellow who weren't as interesting. I still don't get how Near found out that Mikami had the second notebook, everything after L died was just an asspull by the writer to force a conclusion with Light being caught.

I think it would have been more interesting if some of Light's followers grew more fanatical than him and turned against him or something like that.

>>220126314
You missed Epstein, because nobody suspects a thing when these kinds of people die, right?

But I guess Don Bongino would come out and announce there was nothing to see here, so go back to sleep sheeple. So I guess you might get away with it after all.

>also Ocasio-Cortex posting nudes line made me laugh milk out my nose

First of all, good, and heil Kira, but people would eventually get suspicious that every time he was replaced with another fucking Jew they'd have a heart attack too.

Not complaining, just sayin' ...

Good thing that book does have infinite pages though, and there are finite Jews. Worth a try at least. The cops might come banging on my door, but I'd be eliminated as a suspect due to a lack of writer's cramp.

>>220125993
>>220126314
I think both sides of this argument have a point actually. It can be surprising how much info you can give away just from selecting who dies. And it would be insane to even suspect a magical killing book to be behind deaths which are just part of a statistic of over a hundred thousand people who die every day.

ie. Some kind of shit is happening here, we can prove that, but we have no fucking idea what it is ... yet.

eg. Dark Matter, Dark Energy, 2nd Kira, X-Kira is the same thing.

You can start designing experiments to identify and figure out whether these things exist at all, and more about them. It's how we figured out all the rest of the shit we are sure about, atoms, subatomic particles, forces, etc. No different in principle to the shit L is doing. There no reason to start with the hypothesis there's a magic book, but he knows some kind of uber-fuckery is afoot the second Lind L. Taylor dies.

If a bunch of well known people died suddenly people would see that it's not a coincidence, then they'd look for a cause. I think they'd find none or hallucinate one. Come up with a bunch of conspiracy theories.

Stopped reading there. You've self-reported as a midwit by saying "this person". There is no reason anyone would assume a single person could possibly be behind all of these deaths.

>ergo: the one responsible is probably living in Japan, so it makes sense to start looing there
The only real leap in logic that L made was immediately honing in on "face and name known to public" being a requirement, I do not think he could have possibly deduced that information as quickly as he did, it would've required weeks of research to track down all the broadcasts related to those criminals and then verifying each one had a name and face broadcasted to the public.

>>220127871
You're both using a typical Kike tactic to take the heat of Mossad, the most obvious and likely answer.

>>220127954

Likely story

>>220127976
I'm just amazed they included that detail in the anime - an obvious shot at the Jews. Like yeah, we all know who don't we?

>>220127945
That was more of an inference than a deduction, on his part. Basically, he intuited the information, guessed at it, and his guess turned out to be correct. That's why he tested his theory with that criminal in the broadcast he did. And I doubt it would have taken weeks to verify the information, after all, Light pretty lazily searched for criminals on the web for his international victims. It would've taken a similar amount of time to find the same information he did.

>>220127945
looking at the deaths, assuming it was murder, all of it would point at best to a new technology, that immediately points to a foreign government like North Korea, because the cause of death is supernatural, unless you consider magic exists you would think it's either someone inside the prison did it or some new technology

>>220120768
He wanted to kill "bad" people, but it's pretty hard to know who is bad before they are tried and convicted of a crime. He'd only be able to kill people that he personally knew, which would just make it much easier to catch him.

>>220120728
The plan by design could NOT be air tight.

He pretty much knew
>Misa can be made useful for the eyes thing, but Rem needed to go
So he pretty much needed "create a situation where rem would need to kill L to save Misa".

He saw that the easiest way would be getting caught, ideally in a sufficiently complex scenario that the other cops don't get that they're both caught, because L doesn't like to show his work to others. This is L's form of autism to match Light's
>"I want people to be aware there's a God of justice"
rather than just doing it stealthily.

From Light's pov, incriminating both of them to L is fine, so long as it also puts Misa in the hole equally. He pretty much works backwards from there (buy time and reduce heat, get L the notebooks, show L a rule he'll know is probably bullshit, wait for L to sperg out and pull a stunt to force Rem's hand)

The actual weak part of DN is the post-death investigation,
>why tf didn't the investigative team decide to try it again after the first test failed?
>what tf was everyone else on the task force doing with their thumb up their ass for two years?
which is one of the many reasons the post-L arc sucks.

L, are you Saying North Korea is killing all our Japanese criminals for us for some nefarious reason?

>>220128072
Light mostly killed people in Japan, but he also targeted enough people internationally that it became an Interpol case, requiring several nations pooling resources to investigate it.

>you would think it's either someone inside the prison
This theory simply does not work because his victims were located in dozens of different prisons, including places outside Japan, yet died around the same time as each other. To attribute this to a "man on the inside" would require dozens if not hundreds of inside men, all coordinating their efforts perfectly without any trace.

If Light had targeted a single prison, or even just a small number of prisons within Japan, then he likely would've strongly indicated it was somebody involved in running or managing the prisons responsible for it. But his semi-random attacks over vast distances, yet very close in time, pretty much ruled out any possibility of the attacks being carried out via conspiracy

>takes them 2 years before they place any suspicion that light fiddled with it despite L's insistence "If I'm dead, it's him, bro" and it being clear" multiple books are running around"

The cops were never too smart and L was always cagey enough that they might not have understood the significance of his test, but then it's really hard to explain how the test was going to be allowed in the first place, and in a series where pretty much all the yotsuba group investigating took like 1-2 in-show months, it's pretty hard to buy
>and this was followed by 22 months of these people all doing, comparatively, literally nothing before people got antsy

But it’s even easier than that. Heart attacks are obviously suspicious. But it was shown in the anime that light can make people kill other people eg the convenience store robbery stabbing scene. So potentially light could do all of his murders through other people. A bodyguard shoots the politician, possibly kills self or gets shot(eg writing two names, the target and the assassin) in other times is made to survive. All of these cases would be already solved essentially.

>>220133344
If you find a way to completely conceal the murders you defeat the whole purpose of doing it - to act as a deterrent. He wanted people to know that justice was being carried out. With that in mind, the chase for 'Kira' is inevitable.

>>220133880
That makes sense. Although i suppose you could achieve a similar effect by framing this justice as collective action. Cops executing criminals in their cells and bodyguards killing corrupt politicians is also a form of deterrent right? I bet you could make people publish all kinds of manifestos too before death.
But yeah you’re right that it doesn’t align with lights goals.

>>220120768
He didn't just kill people on death row. He killed petty criminals. Theft, burglary, arson, whatever. Basically sent everyone a message that it doesn't matter what little crime you committed: Kira would come for you.

>>220124898
>>220124947
That rule was always the most retarded. Only added so that Light couldn't just write in the notebook that one of the cops on taskforce will show up and shoot L in the face with a gun and then shoot themselves in the head.

The cops did not have the connections L had (or the testicular fortitude) to secure a death row inmate from some third world prison and thus carry out the experiment. Rem killed the butler as well who probably arranged the whole thing in the first place. Even though I enjoyed some aspects of the post-L story arc like the chief's badass death or that arrogant bitch getting burned to a crisp I believe it would have been better had the story ended with Kira on top. I still hope we someday get a Columbo-style show set in the past with L just solving mysteries on his own

>>220138229
So is quantum physics at first glance.

The trick with what L does, (in principle), is refraining from jumping to unsupported conclusions. Your average fag's biggest problem is they don't like admitting it when there's shit they just don't know. They care about having A conclusion more than getting the CORRECT conclusion. Instead of their primary tool being deduction they'll use inference or feelings.

It's how they get shit wrong one way or the other and wind up wasting time pursuing avenues that lead nowhere - or worse, wrong answers. Like it wouldn't take much for them to conclude Sayu is Kira and throw her in prison while the real Kira roams free.

It's like using ink to fill in a key answer in a crossword and now everything is fucked up. Better to do a crossword with a pencil and push harder the more confident you are in the answer and how it interlocks with the rest of the clues.

Naturally Death Note is a dramatised version of that shit, so L isn't always perfectly logical, but the point is that using this method you will never eliminate seemingly implausible shit that other people have already dismissed - at least subconsciously. It's not really about being right, it's about never being wrong.

If aliens land on the White House lawn tomorrow all the people who dismissed the possibility of aliens existing look like right retards. Unless you have more direct evidence, if you're smart, the correct conclusion is that you just don't know, (no conclusion). Though you might have cause to doubt/disbelieve individual claims based on their own merit.

Stated differently, the truth should exist in the set of possibilities remaining. If it doesn't you dun goofed. Hence the Sherlock Holmes shit:
>“Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.” - Arthur Conan Doyle

If you eliminated the 'improbable' already, you're already blind to the truth.

Why the fuck are threads about anime on /tv/ higher quality than on /a/?

>>220141567
That's not due to the murderer not leaving clues that could be used to figure out who did it. It's mostly due to the cops not doing what's required to figure it out, for whatever reason.

The unstated presumption they somehow do, so the murderers must be outsmarting them somehow, is the only fantasy here.

Once I gave the cops security video of a vehicle involved in a night time burglary, (no plates). I did a little search around on Google street view of likely local locations such a truck would come from. I found the exact and very distinctive truck. I personally handed the cop the USB with all the necessary information on it. Do you think they 'cracked the case' and brought the perpetrators to justice?

Of course they didn't. I doubt the Boomer cop could even plug in the fucking USB quite frankly, so wasn't surprised at all.

If you gave the Internet hivemind all the available evidence and free reign on shit like this, they'd solve most shit out of sheer spergery. The cops - and the individual cops you're talking to - are ironically 'clueless' in relative terms. Doesn't make murderers geniuses or mean they don't leave clues.

It's pretty much inevitable that the deaths of so many people would lead to the death of someone who wasn't named somewhere down the line. For example killing a criminal who would have shot another criminal who then goes on to kill someone else.
So setting up a war should be possible so long as it isn't too direct.

>>220120692
Does it even matter? he's a fucking *twat*. So was L, which is why he fetched up dead.

>>220142142
As fags have already pointed out, it wasn't Light's plan to conceal the deaths, but even if he were, again this is an example of not knowing how statistics work. How many people die slipping on concrete per year? How many do you need for it to be obvious there's a problem? You don't even know.

Use shark attacks for an example. Worldwide there are about 10 per year. They are specific species and specific locations and circumstances. You don't have to add many or do it wrong that much for sharkfags to notice. So Light could become an expert in shark shit, but then he leaves a trail because he googled shark attacks right before it happened.

The more variety of obscure deaths he googles, the more of a trail he leaves, even if anonymous, etc.

Also the stats for unusual deaths in total starts to skew when taken together. People who would have died instead of other causes Light doesn't know exist, is not an expert on, (like diseases), drop proportionally.

>>220142410
That's why I said 'for whatever reason'. There are a lot of them, but didn't want to get into weeds. Basically if you point out the obvious the cops cry that they're not getting enough money and resources, blah, blah, blah. To whatever extent any one thing is true, the result is the same.

In the unaired final episode you find out Columbo is a schizo and killed his wife years ago. That's why he knows so much about murderers, and even sympathises with them. Basically takes one to know one.

He still believes she's alive on some level. They find the deteriorated skeleton in his bed. He always looks so dishevelled and disorganised because he believes his wife washes and irons his clothes, packs his lunch, and puts items in his pockets that he is later shocked to find are not where he expects them be.

This explains why he 'talks to her' on the phone in one episode, but it's basically like Ed Norton in Fight Club. Falk wanted the series to go out with a bang, and he was going to get busted by Sergeant - now Detective - Wilson, (Bob Dishy was going to come back, maybe do a spinoff series), with Patrick McGoohan as the murderer that also figures it out.

The studio fought it to the death, because the character had become so beloved, and they buried the whole thing deep. The chances of ever seeing it are practically zero. Nobody who knows about it wants it released. Columbo is basically some kind of Boomer era Dexter progenitor.

>>220142468
The statistics are irrelevant because there's no logical connection from heart attacks -> magic book. There's no reason for L to start investigating in the first place, it's something the show completely glosses over. L would have to believe that Kira is psychic or L would have to have had some kind of esoteric knowledge. It's a major flaw in the logic of the show, it could have been solved by simply lampshading it with some rumor L had heard somewhere. L leaps to the conclusion that there is a killer out there though he doesn't know how he's doing it and goes from there, but he probably would have never got to there because there's no logical explanation for how Kira is killing people and there's no reason to attribute it to some ordinary human. It's a leap of faith, which is uncharacteristic for the character and could have been easily explained away with L having read a fairy tale as a kid, or having dealt with death note users before. It's a plot hole that was never addressed afaik, but without it there would be no show.

Not saying that. I am saying it's a cinch to investigate and figure out who was in possession of that vehicle at the time now you know the plates and where it was from at the time it appears on Google Maps.

Even if it was stolen for the burglarly, you can at least pull on that thread and trace it better from where it came from and where it went, have the people it was stolen from providing relevant info.

My point is I doubt that even happened, even slightly.

Also an example of why this post is retarded: >>220143758

The more you try to fix shit the more the clues multiply. Like Chris Watts gets caught on his neighbour's security camera loading 'something' into his truck at an odd hour. But even if he thought to block or disable the camera, he'd have to see it first and there would be footage of him looking at it, just like a bank robber who cases a bank the week before he robs it. Look at how that shit plays out in the case of Epstein.

But even without that, or by some miracle not one person or camera catching him moving the bodies on the day, there's logically obvious shit like: He likely had to know 'something' about the location where he dumped the bodies, meaning he's been there before in some capacity, so you'd go looking for that in historical records. Turns out:

>The location where the bodies were recovered was a remote oil site known as Cervi 319, owned by his employer, Anadarko Petroleum. As an oil and gas landman/operator, Watts had access to sites.

>Watts uncharacteristically volunteered to go out to Cervi 319 alone on Monday morning, evidence for premeditation to ensure he had a secluded location where his presence wouldn't be questioned.

>Watts drove a work truck equipped with a GPS telematics system. Investigators didn't need a miracle to track him; they simply pulled the data. It showed:
>The exact time he left his house (5:27 AM).
>The route he took to Cervi 319.
>How long the truck idled at specific points on the property.

>>220141050
>The stupidest part was that he killed common criminals who had already been caught instead of the people in power who are above the law.
agreed
>Most crime is a symptom of a dysfunctional society. You don't fix society by attacking the powerless.
>Hundreds of years ago we tried just killing all the criminals, and it didn't prevent crime.
now this part is just stupid.
killing criminals prevents that criminal from commiting crime again, so it does prevent some crime.
criminals are not a "symptom of a dysfunctional society". they are dysfunctional PEOPLE who either:
are not an actual part of the society to begin with (minorities, outside invaders, etc.)
or have a defect in their ingroup empathy toward their own people.

The only way in which crime is a symptom of a dysfunctional society is indirectly - a society which allows too many outsiders to run free, and a society which does little to promote the growth and thriving of its own people and is not worthy of their loyalty.

In a properly run society, you can reduce crime by killing criminals AND euthanizing their offspring, or at the very least sterilizing them. This will have a genetic effect of reducing criminal genes.

that being said, i agree that a better use of the death note would be writing down the names of every single member of the government. (both parties). as well as all the prominent CEOS, hollywood celebrities, leaders of other countries, state governments, military leaders, anyone who is part of this corrupt system. decapitate, burn it to the ground and from the ashes a new america can be born.

>like 75% of murders are never solved
It's "only" like 50% (assuming you're talking about America) and even then it's a misleading statistic. It doesn't mean that if you decide to kill someone, you have an automatic 50-50 chance to get away with it.

Those 50% of unsolved murders are things like "one random city gangbanger shoots another in an alleyway at 3 a.m. and no one saw anything." They're hard to solve specifically because A: they're random, B: the jurisdictions where they happen are severely understaffed, and C: the communities are uncooperative with investigations. Those are specific circumstances in specific parts of the country.

Unless you're a gangbanger yourself and plan on randomly blowing people up on the streets in Oakland or Chicago, you're not going to get away with killing someone. Especially because if you're contemplating killing someone, it's probably someone you know and you have a reason to kill, in which case you are automatically going to be a prime suspect and your odds of not getting caught drop to practically zero.

Tactically, it's a catch-22. If you kill someone you know and whose death would benefit you in some way, you're almost definitely going to get caught. If you kill a random stranger, you just risked your entire life for no tangible benefit. Murder is an extremely stupid thing to do, which is why it's overwhelmingly committed by extremely stupid people.

>>220144003

The reality is more like Quantum Physics where shit that's non-intuitive gets narrowed down and defined as being the physical reality even if it can't be fully explained, while it's the public that jumps to conclusions about 'muh quantum'.

You think this way also because in the movies the stubborn 'muh swamp gas skeptics' are always simplistically 'proven wrong' and get eaten by the alien, ghost, or monster they staunchly don't believe in as some kind of 'poetic justice' moment for the 'true belieber' who tried to warn them.

But L knows and actively probes the parameters of the unknown 'something' going on without knowing what that exactly is. Meanwhile the public has leapt to their own conclusions and would probably be disappointed to find out Kira is just some faggy kid with a magic book and not whatever they thought he was. What they hope he is.

L is shocked when Lind L. Taylor dies and even more so to discover Shinigami are real, but he never said they weren't and can still accept it as the reality. It certainly fits the evidence he has accumulated. It's like discovering black holes are real in reality after already doing the math that indicates the possibility. Imagine someone suggesting it to you before you ever heard of such a thing, (which happened):

>The theoretical concept of what we now call black holes dates back more than 200 years, appearing first in the late 18th century as "dark stars." The idea was first suggested by an English clergyman and polymath named John Michell in 1783. Independent of Michell, the French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace proposed a similar idea in his 1796 book Exposition du Système du Monde.

Of course space is fake, but I mean if it wasn't.

Who would just go on the internet and tell lies?

>>220144606
Yeah, there are clues all throughout the series once you know. Falk said it was his original read on the character and he always played it that way, peppered in little details along the way.

It makes more sense when you know what a big fucking deal the movie 'Psycho' (1960) was at the time, (the same year the prototype Columbo episode aired with a different actor). As far as I understand it they started to question that reveal due to the inevitable comparisons and because everything was going better than expected, (notice Falk has a noticeably harder-edge in his first appearance). Even later on their are instances like where he flips his shit on Mr. Spock. You can kind of see where he gets a little frustrated by murderers who are sloppy, but respects ones who are clever.

Personally I'm in two minds about them releasing it. On the one hand you have this unique truly 'nice guy' egoless detective you can't help but love, and on the other the series is retrospectively a gold mine even more nuanced than you can possibly imagine. Like if you only saw Dexter's public life as a donut-gifting splatter analyst and then found out he's a serial killer after Debbie does Miami.

Nietzsche was cringe. Plato had the right idea. People improve through being exposed to good. Harming others, even your opponents, will not make them better people.

Same, I think about that scene a lot and it’s upsetting

>>220145108
I really really like the twist that there was never any wife.
Making him an insane "he was a Norman Bates type loony the whole time" seems a step too far.

>>220145553
The thing is the 'le twist' of him not actually having a wife, or him turning out to actually have one didn't seem like enough for Falk.

1. If he's lying then he's just some pathetic incel goofball with nothing to go home to, which is kinda lame.

2. But on the other hand if his wife just walks on set and waves one day, that's kinda lame too, (as you saw with the Kate Mulgrew Mrs. Columbo lead fart). Nobody could live up to the legend.

Falk was unhappy with either scenario.

He did the episode with the phone call, (which sorta convinced a lot of viewers she was definitively real), with a view to setting up his ultimate reveal later on. So he was really pissed that they didn't want to use it, since between shit like that and Mulgrew it seemed like the answer was 2.

In the end he was basically like, 'Fuck you faggots' and left it with any ambiguity remaining rather than do anything else in either direction. He was happier to just let it lie as is. This is long after worries about the 'Psyho' comparison would have been a concern, and he felt he'd played things in a direction that wouldn't be a big issue.

Yeah, if hordes of criminals started getting killed the letter agencies would look at internet browsing data to see what lines up

So it's essentially Silent hill2 meets a Rose for Emily meets Fight Club

If I had a death note I'd kill people with cancer on experimental proceedings. If the person started improving id write their names and extinguish any form of cure development

A radio wouldnt help because he needs a face as well and which books would help him find modern day criminals? Think before you type out posts you retarded faggot

>>220134608
Couldnt he just write "black people" on it?

>>220120692
he could have killed L at any time after seeing his face. theres no such thing as a "true" name. names are things other people give you. you know him as L, then thats his name. name, face, dead. ezpz.

If it really happened IRL people would either be thinking that :
The government / police / jail is responsible for that
Someone is killing the criminals and falsifying the crimes with heart attacks
The jail / some org / somebody used some sorts of needles injection or bio weapon that made them die of heart attack
Thinking about someone magically using a weapon to remote kill criminals is definitely the most far fetched option out there

Misafeet

in Death Note, Light killed those prisoners because the plot needed someway for him to get caught, he could've done what most mad with power people would've done in that situation and killed famous politicians, celebrities or famous criminals, but that would make it impossible to trace it to him, and the midwiterry of the show would be revealed more easily
