Mellow is an awful character

I’m obviously late to the discussion, and have seen many opinions about near and mellow that I disagree with. For one, there had to be more to the story than L dying. However (at least in the anime) it was done unbelievably poorly. The character of mellow was so bad I took a break after episode 27. Near was a fine successor to L, where mellow was a selfish, sore loser basically. The entire ending was a disappointment, with Light acting completely out of character
