Netflix releases ‘Death Note’ teaser, sparking another round of whitewashing criticism

• Another day, another major Hollywood adaptation coming under fire for whitewashing. 
• Netflix released its teaser for their upcoming film version of the Japanese manga Death Note, which features shots of Paper Towns star Nat Wolff as protagonist Light Turner (changed from Light Yagami in the manga).
  
• The casting is old news at this point — the film’s already been shot, after all. But that didn’t stop this teaser, which is likely many fans’ first exposure to the project, from inspiring backlash. Read more (3/22/17)

SAJHASGHJASDCHASA LIGHT TURNER!!!!!

I’m confused. Didn’t Death Note had like 4 live action movies as well as another live action tv series ALL WITH JAPANESEE ACTORS?

Don’t get me wrong. From the very trailer I’m not excited about Netflix actors choice but I’ll probably watch it anyway. I just don’t get people getting upset. It just sounds like people are looking very hard for reasons to be mad at skin color.

I’m just sick of whitewashing but not for the same reasons.

Give me some blackwashing. Seriously.

Name any anime and tell me you wouldn’t watch it with an all black cast.

At this point I’m not even mad at white people for doing it. I’m mad at nonwhites for NOT doing it. Spike Lee what are you doing NOT making a black version of Persona 4?
