Both blazed out their gourds, L is full of yearning and Light is too busy giggling to notice.
Lines under the cut <3
Light: Hahaha- enough enough! Pass the bong, Ryuzaki, you're hogging it~
L: [Lost in thought, reaches his hand to hover over Light's] ... Ah... yes, of course, the bong...

Objectively speaking, light is a more compelling character than bakugo 🤷🏽♀️
i think this meant to be bait but i assure you my bakugou glazing is nothing in comparison to my light yagami hating
there are lots of other characters you could make this comparison with. like you could say lawliet or misa is more objectively compelling. in the traditional sense of the word, light just isn't lmao. he has a negative growth character arc and the most satisfying part of that arc is him dying miserable and alone
compelling usually means awe-inspiring or you know, invoking conviction. but light does neither. if you think that's too focused on semantics and you use compelling as a stand-in for interesting, then i guess you could make the argument that he is more interesting. but ill be honest i think the only reason light seems more interesting is because he's narrating the story unreliably. "objectively speaking" he has a similar life to bakugou, with a similarly overinflated ego.
as such, objectively there's nothing all that interesting about a 17 yr old, middle class, suburban popular kid with a good home life and social life being bored. he is an excellent catalyst for the story of death note, and his egoism and god complex make it very interesting. but he is not interesting. his boredom and intelligence and the opportunity the death note are what make death note fun. lets put this guy in situations. but he has a limited world view and lacks depth and nuances. even little touches of humanity that make him well rounded. he's not even evil for evils sake, just genuinely deluded and very boring. he also has virtually no personality aside from being kira. insane maybe but boring. if you want a comparable character who is more interesting then lelouch from code geass is an excellent example, though death note has better story telling.
again that's not to say death note isn't interesting, but it's certainly not lights character that makes it that way. most death note fans agree that the series dies when L dies and that's done with intention, as its meant to hold a mirror up to lights reality.
im not really a bakugou glazer enough to defend him as more interesting. but if you're asking me subjectively, it's a lot more moving to see a kid around the same age and from the same background - humble himself as a result of his failings and develop true and genuine emotional maturity. that might be boring to you and that's okay! but it's certainly more traditionally compelling and very difficult to execute, yet is done very well in bnha which makes him a more interesting character.
death note and bnha are not comparable to begin with though. like death note is one of the greatest animes ever made and lights story is a very well told one. but it's not because he is actually interesting but because he is narrated that way and the Story is narrated. its the way his simplicity snowballs into the dire and unbelievable circumstance, and the way it all ends with him dying a miserable, pathetic and ultimately human death. the circumstances around his simplistic and shallow character that make for a tragic and beautiful show.
bakugou is compelling, because any viewer can derive satisfaction and attachment seeing him become less of a little worthless bastard. his character is in many ways is one of the major moving forces of the bnha story and he would be a fun character in any universe because of his tenacity and general quirks and spirit. the same cannot be said for light. in any world that is not death note is an above average intelligent guy, but just some guy. he sucks

Oh I have another unpopular opinion: I think it's really irritating when people portray L as worse than he is or just as bad as light as it is irritating when people make him unambiguously good. Like L isn't a super moral person but I don't think he's more than "a little bit" evil. I don't think he enjoys hurting others like Light does at points. I don't think it's even his first instinct in normal circumstances. The Kira case is so unique that he simply "does what he has to" but he's not an equally evil person so much as Amoral and results driven. And I think people play up that part of him to avoid making him The Good Guy but it still kinda simplifies him in the other direction.
strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree
I agree so far as we know about them and their actions based on what we see of them in the canon story, basically. I think it'd be silly to see Light murdering thousands of people, sometimes gleefully, and then declare that L is obviously morally worse than Light, but that it would also be silly to witness everything L does during the Kira investigation and then think he's not ever a sketchy person morally himself. AT THE END OF THE DAY THOUGH I feel like I'm just bored of nitpicking all of their morality in general now hahaha, so I might not be the best one to analyze the minutia of how and why they are bad and/or worse than the other ones in great detail anymore
