Adam Wingard, the director of Netflix’s live action Death Note movie, has deleted his Twitter account after being deluged with death threats and insults, unsurprisingly pouring in even before the script was written.
Devoted fans of the Death Note series who had been vocal about how much they despise Netflix’s “interpretation” were also flinging insults at the director, prompting him into foolishly defending himself against the rabid masses, a bad idea on his part as it resulted in him being hit with an even greater abundance of hate.
Some of Adam Wingard’s tweets toward his aggressors:
The grotesque personal attacks and death threats from all the anonymous assailants apparently ended up proving too much for the director as he then deleted his Twitter account, which will no doubt be regarded as a “victory” amongst Death Note purists everywhere…
what a bunch of flaming faggots, to get so worked up. I haven’t seen it but it’s probably not that bad. (They started threats before it was released). Yea I hold up Death note up pretty high, but no matter what, it’s still an anime/manga. It’s children to teenager material. yea it’s pretty mature but you have problems if you need to take it so serious. No, These are just fucking trolls with empty threats. Such unimportant people.
Mediocre adaptation
People overreacted but still one can get angry when its all so forced to be “correct”
His mistake was making a Twitter account. Twitter makes YouTube comments look like classical philosophy in comparison.
haha, he calls himself an artist.
I have never seen death note anime nor this Netflix movie, but this director has really some s♥♥t movies.
BULLSHIT
