What's wrong with taking scumbags off the streets forever? Their responses are interesting, but Lakeith Stanfield ( Short Term 12, Get Out) took the interview one step further. My initial question targets the moral crux of Death Note. But delivering a fresh take that would hopefully attract new fans.

There are many rules to the Death Note, but the general idea is that the possessor can murder anyone. Any name written in the book, as long as Light knows that person's face, can be controlled and killed. It is given to him by Ryuk (Willem Dafoe), a Shinigami or death god, that only Light can see.
