Was manga ending better?

Live action jap movie had the better ending

What was it again ?
I just remember Light after getting found out not laughing like a psycho and instead saying "Okay but here's what I did for the world, what did YOU do?"
I don't even remember what happened afterward

He was already fatally shot by then, Near even told everyone not to bother since he didn't really give a shit about Light anymore and viewed him insignificant at that point. The area was also full of abandoned buildings bunched up together so searching for someone is gonna be more difficult.

I mean, you'd just think they'd want to make sure he's dead. Dude had a literal god of death on his side and they'd been after him for years at this point.

>It did not glorify Light, it made him and his quest a joke.
If they were going for that they should've used Benny Hill's theme instead of orchestral music. They made it look like it was the tragic death of a great warrior or something. When they showed his past self, they're implying that if he would've made different choices he may not be in such a position, but the truth is that he was a narcissistic asshole back then, even without the Death note he would've become a manipulative psychopath. The whole thing reminded me of how the stupid judge of the Ted Bundy case implied that he could've become a great citizen had he ignored his twisted instincts... no, just no. Those were part of him.

But by that point, they realized that said God of death wasn't going to take sides. I mean, he could've easily killed everyone present.

I guess. It still just seemed a bit silly. I like the anime a lot I just thought the ending was a bit silly.

Again, it's for dramatic irony. Take for example plays like Romeo and Juliet, you would think that it was some tragic love story because of how grand the ending was (if you've seen plays of it) but it was just some stupid story about two hormonally charged teens dying because of stupid reasons that were completely avoidable had the two of them actually used their brains instead of being stupid. It's a technique used since forever ago.

The ending made Near even more boring than he already was in the anime.

>in the manga

What a blunder. Time to write my own name in the deathnote.

...

Which is why a gritty, more realistic way to portray how pathetic Light was could've been more effective. Reading the manga ending was like a punch in the gut, especially if you believed in Kira's cause. The problem with that dramatic irony is that it offers possibilities,
>completely avoidable had the two of them actually used their brains instead of being stupid
And as I said, no. He was delusional from the very beginning, even if he was the best student in Japan he wasn't any better than the people he ended up killing, he wasn't any better than his parents or his sister and that was the moral of the story. You shouldn't aspire to play god, you're a mere edgy teenager.

Ryuk basically endorsed it with his need for fun
Light just wanted be a good boy killing would be rapists and criminals
Only killing good people when they get close to taking his dream down
He only wanted to make his father proud a nice world for his sister to live
But he turned into a monster because of the pressure and being able to get out of any situation made him a cocky bastard

No, the great thing about that ending is that it shows his true feelings regarding his father and you can infer that's how he felt about everyone else. He thought he was above every other person, not only criminals. I mean, he's the self-proclaimed god of the new world from the very first chapters.

I was talking about Romeo and Juliet, not Light and Romeo and Juliet were also delusional people from the beginning.
If you didn't get the ending of the anime and what they were going for, it was not their fault but rather a you problem. If Breaking Bad ended with a laugh track it would be the worst ending ever, instead of the irony of a love song playing while a guy was dying because he can't let go of selling meth, we'll just have a shit resolution.

>When they showed his past self, they're implying that if he would've made different choices he may not be in such a position, but the truth is that he was a narcissistic asshole back then
It's not them implying it, it 's Light himself. He's the one regretting having been too cocky

I didn't need a laugh track, I already told you that the source material did it better. Just adapt that.

Imagine if EoE would've ended with Asuka and Shinji staring at the sky with some orchestral music in the background, cute "dramatic irony". But hey Anno's take was better.

And I'm telling you, the ending of the anime is great as it is, different from the manga, but great on its own merits. You just missed the director's intention and got the message that they were glorifying Light, which is the opposite of what they did.

Why do you want the ending to be spelled out for you? Is thinking too hard? Different directors have different ways of handling things, but both the manga and the anime have great endings that have their own merits.

What is the death of the author? when Euphonium unintentionally implied romantic tension between the character's it wasn't the audience's fault but the directorial choices.

Some cliched pseudo artistry didn't make the show any favor, that's what I'm saying.

it was pretty though.
