    Light’s definitely written as a villain.

    I think it’s pretty neat that the recent one-shot kinda hammered the fact that “Kira was a fucking genocidal maniac” home with what the new user decides to do with it combined with what you learn about how society views Light/Kira in the wake of his actions.

      I agree he’s portrayed as a villain, but they don’t really humanize a lot of his victims or indict the reasons for crime. He doesn’t make the world a better place and Light made no real lasting changes to the systems that push people to crime.
