Why the heck is the word protagonist in quotation marks? There's nothing questionable about Light's role as the main character.


Aside from his morally questionable decision to kill people in cold blood which include innocent people along with using them to his own benefit?

That's not relevant to the definition of protagonist.

I'm not sure what you were trying to say in your previous post. EastN3 asked why the article treated Light's protagonist status questionably, when he clearly fits the definition. What point were you trying to make with your reply? A reply to a post about the definition of protagonist.

Have to agree, the L actor is pretty bad. The Light guy is making a good effort, but L doesn't make an impression at all. I want to see a live-action L who actually looks and acts like a weird creepy shut-in, not an aspiring boy-band member wearing eyeliner.


I don't mind the eyeliner, but I wish they'd use it to make his eyes look bigger and more sunken in. It's half the fun of L's character.
