      There's a lot you could do with it. A sanity stat. A suspicion stat with a few key characters that alter what they might ask or check of Light, like the father. Gimmick challenges of booby trapping or disarming Light's booby trapped room correctly. Like imagine an exposition conversation with Ryuk and you can either open up that one drawer he rigged to explode if you don't disarm it. Would be funny.

      Light should've won.

      He really shouldn't, except to see a True Bad End.

        i was about to say that deathnote loses a bit of its charm if both light and L don't act like they do in the show. then again light responding to L like a moron might be funny

        I would rather have a new cast of characters. We all know they'd make a terrible job trying to write the established characters.

      Watch Deathnote without Light's innermonologue. He literally gives himself away 30 seconds into meeting L.

      L's issue is he can't prove Light is Kira because of the Supernatural element which is why he hire's Light to help him out.

      This actually creates a major issue with L because even though Light is the killer he becomes one of the only people he can actually call a friend

      He knew he was Kira, just like he knew the "you'll die if you stop writing names" was bullshit, but had to prove it. He also didn't care if he died if it meant he ultimately won.
      Ultimately his final gambit failed because he didn't account for a shinigami killing him, he expected Light to kill him.
      But in a way he still won because he had Near as a contingency who would also immediately know that Light was Kira based on the events that transpired.

            Not really luck, since Mello was the one that figured out there was probably a fake notebook used as bait.
            Had Mello not hated Near and joined him from the beginning they would have won, likely without Mello dying too.
            Also we know Near tested the notebook since he ultimately killed Mikami with it, so the minute he realized they didn't have the actual note he probably would have approached things differently

    Good writers are hard to come by.

      Writers back in the day were trying to express an idea or experience despite the technical limitations, writers nowadays only know the synthetic version of that experience. People who made Ocarina wanted to portray a journey, people who played Ocarina and were inspired to make games now want to make Ocarina not portray a more abstract concept like Ocarina designers.
      That said, it's not as bad as it seems. It's just that social media brings bad stuff to our attention and it is human to focus on the negative. Back in the day bad stuff was usually just ignored.

        Naruto was never meant to end after Pain. Kishimoto literally set up multiple plot points like Tobi being Madara, Itachi being a double agent etc before it and the next arc started without delay the next week.

          To be fair Toriyama left outs for himself with every major saga King Piccolo on.
          He had no intention of stopping, but he always made a storyboard where if he felt like stopping when he got there he could, and at some point when writing the buu saga he decided to end things there.
