* Death Note Spoilers down below guys * If you haven't seen it don't read about it, watch it first.
It was one of those shows that really, I'm not sure the word for it, but it was really that word.
One of the really creepy things I found about that series was how similar the main character and I are. As I watched the show I found he kept doing everything I would have done, he thought of the same things I would have thought of, he made the same mistakes I would have most likely made, he looked at the world the same way I look at the world, and if I had a death note I am sure I would try to do the exact same thing as Yagami, hell I probably would even die like he did.
I would try to rid the world of evil, and make the world a safer place with the real fear of a god, fear of the horrible unknown. I would sacrifice my own soul. I would make my own laws and make them known.
I am certainly not a violent person by nature, I am kind of like Gandalf. When Frodo hands him the ring he refuses it. The reason he does this is because he would have the will to use the ring, as a wizard he feels confident in his powers to control the ring, and he would use the ring against his own better judgement for the power of good...but through him he would stir the weakness and darkness inside him.
Like Yagami Light, he used the deathnote with the intentions of good, no matter how "you" perceive him, in his mind he was the good guy. The world didn't see him like that however and why would they? So I think the two characters are similar, but one is weaker than the other, as Gandalf with all his age and wisdom saw his future with the ring before he even had to touch it, he knew he would go all deathnote on MiddleEarth. Yagami and I aren't as old and wise, we are much weaker and we would both give in to our desires and hatred.
