| william is better (not biased) |
| Well, the show is not yet finished and I have not yet seen Moriarty's true potential in the anime so I can't really choose between the two. |
 |
ktg said: its not even one of the choices xDLelouch, obviously. |
|
| I haven't even watch this show yet but I'm still gonna choose James , light was an overall really shitty mc I never liked . |
 |
| Definitely William James Moriarty. For both personality and Intelligence. Light is so egoistical which led him to lose in the end. The fact that Light had an untraceable weapon and made too many blunders. As for James Moriarty, he barely even made mistakes, in fact I don't remember him making a mistake, all of his plans go along as he predicted. And we also seen his though process in ep 1, he can clearly see some very small clues. |
| william. he's a little less insane |

So it's seems the anime is a little bit different from the manga, i haven't read it. |
MrFanatic said: I haven't read the manga myself. I have read the original stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I recommend you to read them,that way you will get an idea of Moriarty and Holmes personality. Oh so that's what you're talking about when you said he got killed. I actually plan to read it myself but i haven't got the time yet. I might try to read it sooner |
| Okay, Got it. Thanks |
| they both are addicting but ofc moriarty, he is so fking hawt if moriarty looked like light then light will look like L |
 |
| tbh i cant compare. atleast moriarty seems a bit sane compared to light lmao |

| I like light a little more but both are interesting |

| Well, they're just...different. They have their similarities, but the writers weren't really going for the same vibes with these two characters, I feel. While William is a gentleman at heart, maybe a bit of a sociopath but still shown as sympathetic, Light is a straight-up madman and that is what he was supposed to be. He has a gigantic god complex, is incapable of empathy, and lets go of all of his humanity in his quest for power and worship. He claims it's for a noble cause, but in reality the only cause he really gives two shits about is becoming the god of the new world. Moriarty's portrayal is a little different. The show is way more sympathetic and understanding of his goals, and it's shown that he cares about what he believes in more than he cares about all the power and influence he can get from it. He is, for the most part, sane. The show also spends a lot of time showing that the aristocrats the Moriarty brothers target really DO deserve it – all of them. The people they kill are strictly depraved murderers, rapists, and so on. Death Note also shows assholes getting what they had coming and agrees that the world IS broken and unfair, but also shows Light kill plenty of good, lawful people, which never happens in YNM. In terms of intelligence, I'd say Death Note goes farther than YNM to establish that the protagonist is a genius and is much more "show, don't tell" about it. It's handled alright in both animes, but Death Note does it a bit better in my opinion. In terms of the overall writing, I'd say Death Note takes the cake as well, but it's honestly no shame to be worse than Death Note. It means nothing, really, like being a worse director than Steven Spielberg. But, if you ask me who the better person is, it's definitely William, by A LOT. |
