Why don't we ever get any protagonists like Light?

Note: Before you write "anime has a lot of anti heroes already!!", I'm not talking about anti heroes, I'm talking about villain protagonist so don't start listing Lelouch or Guts

Death note is so successful, I expect more people to use this trope of making the villain the main character but death note is one of the very few shows that managed to play this trope straight. Other anime like Code geass never truly crossed the anti hero line with their protagonist. There are very few series that actually did cross the line, some others are maybe Eren, Yuno, Ainz but they aren't nearly as evil as Light. Other than that, anime is scared of making a protagonist like Light without riddling them with sympathetic qualities.

Sorry but don't compare Eren Jaeger to Light and Lelouch. Eren might be a well written character for many ppl which is understandable but he ain't a goated MC as the other two,they have a tier of their own.

Atargatis said:
Sorry fans, but there's no one as determined as Light. Eren? Pff, yeah right. The fucker chickened out at the end. Lelouch was overrated af. He pulled moves outta his ass like the badass thing in the world or something. You call that "awesome", I call that "Deus-Ex Machina shit".

I don't we'll ever get someone like Light, a POV character who's antagonistic/anarchist to the core.

All the people here saying Lelouch clearly did not read the title properly. He said villain protagonists, Lelouch is an anti-hero.

wtf are you on? eren is goated

Would've given a thought about your opinion if your username and pfp didn't have the most bland and one dimensional character of the show. The show's still goated though.

Says the one with Kakashi (a weakling who thrived and survived bc of naruto and obito) pfp written by one of the worst mangakas ever. Would have thought about your opinion, if your pfpf wasn't someone who had no personality, rip off of many characters and used by tryna be edgelord weebs

Man really said one of the best written characters of anime history has no personality. As an AoT fan I'm ashamed of you. Obito and Naruto? Obito was a simp with the worst backstory and Naruto owes a lot to Kakashi. The other guy ignored you but I couldn't, people like you are the reason our AoT fanbase gets slandered. What weed are you on? Itachi and Kakashi are possibly two of the best characters of the big 3 shounen animes,and only Naruto characters who can match One Piece characters.

I mean it's best to ignore such ppl,Mikasa is probably one of the most overrated and bland characters I've seen,so it's expected from her fans to trash on actual well written characters.

_cybersadist_ said:

Said a lot about your character analysis skills. Nice to meet you.❤️

SkylarAckerman said:
one of the best in anime history? Wtfff.... how many animes have watched?? Next statement you gonna make is Kakashi is better than L or light or hinata is better than kagura. Bro not my issue that you have trash anime taste or some kind of mental disability

And just what are you getting by making a fool outta yourself? You've got zero sense of character writing or what? Idk how many shows they've watched but I've seen over 700 shows since forever and Kakashi indeed is one of the best characters of animanga, I'll say that even after watching and reading all the major works. Almost all of your points are just out of toxicity bcoz someone trolled your favourite character. There's nothing edgelord about Kakashi fans, Kakashi is the most consistent character of the verse who's even down to earth despite being one of the most renowned ninjas in his verse, edgelords are probably Itachi or Sasuke fans. No personality? Honestly I've got nothing against Mikasa, as a woman I like such a strong female character but that phrase of no personality describes her more,because Kakashi is one of the last characters without it. Eren Yeager is also indeed a goated protagonist just like Light and Lelouch I'll give you that, just like that Kakashi is also one of the most goated side characters. You don't have any reason of being toxic against me like the other two since I agree with your original comment of Eren being goated, so accept your faults. Honestly I didn't even get your rip off point when Gojo Satoru's whole existence can be best described as a permanent DMS Kakashi, followed by the fact that many other anime teachers has been inspired by Kakashi himself. This is why AOT fanbase is known as one of the most toxic fandoms, with absolute baseless logic.

Edit: Your profile is even a fake account lmfao

Light is similar to Yuuichi from Tomadachi Game. (Spring 2022)

Nobody want to promote evil people. A story is always told with a purpose after all.
Even in death note, evil guys got fucked up was the point. These kind of stories are enticing and all for many people, but after a while edgieness wears off. People come back to there sense.

Even protagonist like Ainz Ooal Gown is made to be neutral to some extend and honerable too. Same way some like moriarty are shown with positive light with corrupt system template. Or nana from talentless nana is shown as misguided child. Its always one way or other have some sort of clause to it. So its not outright promotion of evil. Some do uses reverse psychology argument to even show outright evil protagonist.

But a story doesn't sell or well recieved , if some sort of gimmicks are not applied. Nobody will take u seriously if u outright write a story about a terrorist greatness for kill ur children.
