L wasn't really the villain. He was the antagonist but Light was still the villain.
that's kind of your opinion. all through death note Light was doing the right thing. he's no worse than batman.
He killed a few people who didn't deserve it but they were trying to stop him from killing bad guys.
if you look at it objectively L and the police were the ones using the underhanded tactics to try and stop a vigilante do-gooder from killing criminals
I'd take it if you played Mass Effect You'd think Garrus was the evilest thing since sliced evil bread
Nonononono! First, Batman doesn't kill people! Second, think about the consequences of Light's actions for a second. In a world where someone is reported arrested just dies, what's to stop someone from just framing someone else, getting Light to kill them for him? All he'd do is change the way people murder others. That's it. Dude just kills anyone accused of a crime, and you think that makes him a good guy? Just no.
he didn't kill everyone accused of a crime. most of the people he killed were being looked for by the cops already, or caught red handed. I'm not saying the system's perfect but in season 2 they said crime
was practically gone. I think Light is smart enough to not act without good evidence. and don't you think Gotham would be safer if the Joker and the Riddler and all the other villains would just die quietly one night..... oh crap they all ware masks shit.... well the shinnegami eyes and some kind of Bat-X ray goggles.
you're not the "Results at any cost" kind of guy are you
No, Light did not know that, and he couldn't. You kill that many people that quickly and it's impossible to know who's guilty or not. Hell, the whole "I'll take a potato chip... and eat it!" scene? He's watching the news and writing down the name of everyone reported arrested! How the hell could he have known they were guilty? If he had that kind of evidence, why would he need to watch the news to kill them off? He was killing people based on accusations, and even if they "seemed" guilty, the media makes everyone seem guilty! You never see a news report of someone being arrested where they say there's little evidence to suggest they actually did it.
Killing off the Joker and other bigtime villains in Gotham would probably help the city out, sure, but that doesn't change that fact that Batman and Light are nothing alike. Batman catches, doesn't kill, criminals he
finds committing crimes. He's the vigilante antithesis of Light.
As for not being a "Results at any cost" kind of guy... No, I'm not. I'm willing to accept some pretty far extremes in some cases, but any cost is always stupid. I am however very conservative in my approach to law, because I'm of the mind that a legal system's job isn't to punish criminals but is to protect those who aren't. That's why we have a system and appeals all these rights, to make sure people aren't falsely convicted. Because when they are, you're causing needless suffering and letting the real criminal get away. Which is a good deal worse than just letting a criminal get away.
