Why Do You Hate Twilight?
 

Obviously we all hate Twilight here, so we might as well talk about why.

Personally, I have 11teen different reasons for HATING Twilight, but here are just a few.

1.) The characters are almost all annoying. Any questions on why, I can totally elaborate further.

2.) In New Moon, when Edward breaks up with Bella, she spends 3 months of her life moping and doing absolutely nothing. I get she was upset, but what kind of message is Stephenie Meyer sending? Not a good one for sure.

3.) Edward. Rock hard and cold are not appealing things to me. He also watches Bella while she sleeps and sets up her window so he can be there any time he pleases. That is not normal behavior, that is controlling and borderline abusive.

4.) The vampires sparkle. This is just wrong for so many different reasons.

5.) Of course, Carlisle is conveniently a doctor, so he can get blood from the hospital any time it's needed. A very cliche character.

6.) No one thinks it's odd that all of Carlisle and Esme's adopted children are dating each other. In fact, that specific point is brought up as odd a grand total of UNO times during the whole series.

7.) No one thinks it's particularly odd that Carlisle and Esme look way too young to have jobs, let alone adopt 5 teenagers.

8.) Bella should be unable to have children with Edward. He doesn't have any bodily fluids, and that's all I'm going to say to avoid being crude.

9.) Edward has sex with Bella, knowing it will put her through great pain. And after it was proved that it did, he did it again. Also, he's all Mr. Hulk-man, destroying things during it. I'm sorry, but it can't be THAT good.

10.) Renesmee has the chromosomal make-up of a werewolf, yet she isn't one.

11.) The birth scene in Breaking Dawn was disturbing. If you haven't read it, I suggest you don't

12.) Jacob imprints on Renesmee. He has the body of a full-grown man and is something like 17ish? She is a baby.

13.) Charlie has way too little of a reaction to finding out that Bella and the rest of the Cullens are vampires, and that there are werewolves.

14.) Bella has way too much control over her blood thirst, seeing as she's a newborn vampire.

15.) Being a "vegetarian" vampire gos against all instincts, and it would be impossible to control your human thirst all the time.

16.) Bella drinks blood when she's pregnant. She was still human. That would make you incredibly sick.

Any one have any more things to add? I'm sure there are plenty more.

Because it's shit.

lewjen - Indeed. Very good point.

The hype is awful.

NintendoLover13 - Ugh, you are so right! That overload of "ZOMG Edward MARRY ME INSTEAD, you SeXIIiie VAMPIRE FACE!!one!11!fruitcake!!1" is highly annoying, and makes me want to punch small children.

The book came out in 2004 and people who never even heard of it are like OMG! I love this book. -_-' Okay, to bad I read it WHEN it came out. The movie was -okay-, the book could be better. Also, look in my siggy :D. That one made me laugh :D

GuardStud08 - I know! When the movie came out, everyone was like "I've loved it FOREVER!!" Also, I feel so special having my quote in someone's sig =D

Ok, the group owner's turn to rant about Twilight.
Warning: This may get long
1: Twitards bug me
2: Edward is abusive
3: Smeyer writes like a 13 year old
4: Vegetarian vampires? 'nuff said
5: Sparkling vampires? Fucking A man
6: Mary-sues are way over used in this book
7: Birthing scene is crap
8: Way over hyped, as Ally pointed out
9: Carlisle being a doctor is..... yeah
10: Characters are idiots
11: Bella belongs in a mental asylum
12: So does Edward
13: The werewolves were all messed up
14: If Bella drank blood when she was human, she would indeed get terribly sick
15: Promotes suicide
16: Promotes abusive relationships
17: Bella wasted three months mourning Edward leaving
18: Bella should have been killed in the first chapter
19: Smeyer has terrible grammar (bit picky bout that)
and finally
20: SMEYER JIT ME AN EPIC FIGHT SCENE!!!


Sorry for ranting, and may I say that I have stated reasons stated by others. It is merely me agreeing with those people. I am glad people are joining this group.

EvilOverlord - Yeah, it's so awesome that more people are joining! Also, I adore the sites in your siggy. And Hey! I'm 13, and I write better than that.

I actually wrote a sort of parody of Twilight not long ago, it mostly centers on the first book, but there are a few things about the others. Quoted from my lemonfingers account



I mean, seriously. This book shouldn't be so freakin' big. This shouldn't be the reason that kids are reading!
Anywho, this parody explains almost every reason I despise this series.

Prosthetics - That is literally the funniest thing I've read in so long! Especially:
"Because he's dead...so doesn't that make me a necropheliac?" and "Wait..wasn't Edward like, a virgin, for over 100 years before he met me? Of course...but after 100 years of celibacy, I imagine anything looks good. And by anything, I mean me."

Oh, and sorry, I'm a noob at quoting. I can't make it work the right way, so yeah xD

haha...happy to make someone laugh. (quoting may take a bit of time if you're new to forums in general, but you'll get it )

I'm not new to forums really, though I have posted like 50 of my 75 posts in the last 2 days, so I've never been that active on them, and I've never had to quote before. =]

Oh, I remembered another thing I hate about Twilight:
- Jacob's too warm, Edwards too cold. If it's that hard to deal with can't she just pick a nice human like Mike to settle down with?

- Also, how in the heck could she possibly have sex with Edward if he was that cold?

All of what everyone's said are the burning questions that S Meyer so stupidly left out!! I do have a small confession to make. There is one character I like. Will anyone kick me if I say who?

I do like Alice. I don't care what anyone says, but Alice is so cool. (so no, ChemicalCaitlin, I won't kick you.)

Alice is pretty awesome. However the character I really like is.......JASPER! He's too cute and I just want to give him a hug, partly cause I feel bad for him, and partly 'cause he's stuck in such a bad book =]

More Twi-Hate:
- I want to beat Rosalie with a 10 foot pole. She is so selfish and mean, and attempted baby stealing is never the answer.

I liked the books, but once I learned Linkin Park (my favorite band) was on the soundtrack, I promised myself to remain loyal to Linkin Park. Not Twilight

So thats why I despise all things Twilight

Aww! I like Jasper too! And he attacked Bella's bitchass, so he's a keeper ^_^

Oohh, you're right. I totally forgot about that!!!

Don't think I'll ever forget it, because then Edward leaves and she gets all retardedly emo. I lol'd.

Haha, Yeah, I love how it's just all "December" *blank page* "January" *blank page* and whatever. Then she goes and cries to Jacob and tries to kill herself to hear stalker Edward's voice in her head. That chick seriously should've been in the wacky shack xD

Plain and simple, I hate Twilight because of the fans. Mainly the fans like this idiot

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLvNGZjMt8I

These type of people made me hate this film before it was even released.

OH GAWD.

Not her again! I am so not watching her reactions! Not again! I fell for it last time, but not again.

*shudders*

LOL I know your pain! I wanted to post the link to that vid with my comment but I didn't want to hear her voice so I made sure to pause it right away before she opened that yapper. She's mental!

Here's an avi for this group if the creator want's one :D



I'm sure someone can make one better than that bet eh I tried

I made an entire thread for choosing a picture for the group. It's the one titled "Deathly Important." That's were we are suggesti9ng pic's and voting for which we like best. Try posting it there.

I totally agree with all of you. I honestly couldn't get past the third page of the book. I thought it was poorly written. But, when I read vampire novels they're by the legends Bram Stoker, Bela Lugosi, and Anne Rice. I also hate Bella's character and prays she will die eventually in the book. She is such an annoying character who lacks personality.

I just really hate it >.> i would have to agree with all of you.

Has any one else received angry PMs from Twilight fans? Just got one.

I'm pretty sure the same person rated this thread one star...

The rating is now 3 because of my 5 star rating. WIN.

I haven't gotten any PM's yet, but now I want some!

I hate Twilight because of the same reason I hate Counter Strike: there's so much attention drawn to it, only to find out that it actually doesn't have anything special compared to other movies of the genre.
Same with LOTR. It was good, but seeing its success, a sh*t load of movies with the same idea have been made: Narnia, Golden Compass etc.

Hmm, why do I hate Twilight...

1) Edward is a stalking, abusive freak. He goes into Bella's bedroom at night, he watches her sleep, he follows her to Port Angeles...GET A LIFE, EDWARD.

2) Bella is the biggest Mary Sue ever written. She goes on and on and on about how plain she is, how clumsy and boring she is, why would anyone ever want to speak to her, let alone like her, and yet, YET everybody in that high school thinks she is the most amazing person they've ever met. The popular crowd take her in immediately, EVERY GUY asks her out, and even though Edward doesn't date anyone or speak to anyone and he's Satan's gift to women, he still likes BELLA.

3) In what world could a blood drinking vampire be a doctor? It's like a recovering alcoholic working in a bar but never taking a drink.

4) A majority of the fans are delusional psychopaths. See: http://twilightsucks.proboards.com/...lay&thread=5175

5) The vampires sparkle. Does anymore really need to be said?

6) The movie was shit. Let's face it, nothing happened, and Robert Pattinson looked like he was in physical pain when he had to do that sparkling meadow scene.

7) The books go on forever with nothing happening and then in the space of a chapter the entire plot of the book happens. (New Moon especially.)

8) Edward the sparkly vampire's love rival for Bella is....a werewolf.

9) Basically the entire book is a debate over whether necrophilia or beastiality is more appealing. Apparently necrophilia given the plot of book number 4.

10) Jacob imprinting on Renesmee is creepy and wrong. As is her RIDICULOUS name. Especially considering mixing Carlisle with Charlie creates Carly, a REAL name.

11) It's pretty convenient that a) Carlisle is a doctor b) Bella's special vampire power is her self-control over blood drinking c) The one person in the entire world whose thoughts Edward can't hear are Bella's.

12) Bella is a selfish bitch. When the Cullens throw her a birthday party, rather than be grateful she reacts with "Oh nooo, why did you have to throw me a party, I told you I didn't want one, I can't believe you'd be so kind and thoughtful about me, because I'm really unattractive and unpopular(eventhoughIknowI'mnotreallyandeveryonelovesme)

13) Bella jumps off a cliff in book 2. That is where the books should have ended. Right then. With death.

14) Wuthering Heights has been ruined for me forever because of Twilight.

15) The entire thing is a dream some woman had one night i.e. her sexual fantasy. It should never have been published, ever.

16) And the worst thing of all is the Cullen religion, Cullenism. The followers believe Edward, Bella and all the Cullens are real, must read at least a bit of one of the books every day and must make a pilgramge to Forks at least once in their lifetime. If they lead good lives they will get to live in the Cullen mansion eternally.

17) Why did Kristen Stewart have to be in that movie? WHY?!


And that is why I hate Twilight.

Has anyone read the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton? This rivalry is like a blatant rip off of her, since Anita Blake's interest lie in a werewolf and a vampire respectively.

Everyone's points are awesome. I think at some time in the near future I will compile a list of them all and post it as one mega Twi-hate of awesome.

This goes along with Edward being abusive, but:
He is constantly telling her he can kill her. In any other relationship it would be abuse, but NOOO cause Edward is a magical wizard. Except that he's not.

Lololololololololololol!

My friend got me a giant poster of Edward Cullen for my birthday, specifically this one:



She put it on the wall next to my bed.
I can't sleep properly now.
His eyes follow you around the room.

That is yet another reason why I hate Twilight. Now I lose sleep because of it too. Plus it looks like a poster for a musical or something, you might notice that the words Twilight and Edward sparkle.
(I may be involved in writing a little musical with some friends that we like to call 'Edward Sparkles', a Twilight parody, but that's besides the point.)

Why, in the name of God, would your friend buy you this poster? Is she blackmailing you?

I used to have that poster


I gave it to a twitard friend

She thinks it's a massive joke. My parents brought me back after a week at home today, and the first thing my mom says when she comes into my room is "I thought you hated Edward". I had to mutter "I do, Mom, but Julia got it for me". My friend says she hates Twilight too, but she never. stops. talking. about. it. I suspect that secretly she actually does like it, especially considering she has written Twilight fanfiction... She signed her birthday card to me as Edward too, and addressed it to Bella (which is what her and my other housemates call me now).


Another reason why I hate Twilight is that Stephenie Meyer writes fanfiction...for her own books. No published author should be that involved with fanfiction, let alone for their own books!

If that isn't pathetic, I don't know what is. About Stephenie Meyer writing fan fiction for her own books, is what I mean.

I think it's safe to say that your friend not only likes Twilight, but adores Twilight.

your friend is evil, even by my standards

I hate Twilight because SMeyer is the ultimate Suethor. WORSE THAN TARA GILESBIE!

suethor? *understands after half a second of thought*

Took me a second too, but definitely agreed!

yep And she's right

Hmm... I wonder if The Host is teh same way?

Why I hate Twilight-

1) The books are extremely poorly written. Repeated plot-lines, poor characters, no real events happening, random characters popping up when nothing is happening for no real reason (eg Oh no Edwards gone boo hoo Oh look Jacobs here!/Oh my life is perfect playing baseball with Edward Oh look some more vampires appeared!/My life is perfect with my stupidly named baby Oh no the Italian people came!) and the many, many parts of the book that make no sense.

2) Practically every character has no personality

3) Edward Cullen- I don't understand how Bella can view him as angelic and perfect. He is controlling over Bella and isolates her from her friends and family, he is arrogant, shows no emotion and he acts like a psychopath most of the time. How can somebody like a person who is constantly threatening to hurt you and thinks its ok to watch people sleeping.

4) The birthing scene in Breaking Dawn is unnecessarily gory. Seriously, do you really have to snap Bella's spine and make her puke up blood?

5) There's nothing wrong with sex scenes in books but they have sex about five times in the same chapter and for about the first 100 pages of Breaking Dawn it's just Bella begging him to fuck her.

6) It keeps contradicting itself. One minute vampires cant eat food, next minute Edwards eating. One minute the werewolves are werewolves, the next minute theyre shapeshifters.

7) The obbsessive morbid fans. Practically everything has obbsessive fans but some of these fans take it WAY too far. They threaten abuse to people who don't like twilight and they've founded their own religion! Its scary how obsessed with it some of them have become.

8) The film was absolutely terrible. It had terrible, awkward acting and was much much worse than the book. They've also brought even more morbid fans to it. My friends are trying to force me to watch New Moon at the moment but it looks even worse than Twilight

9) There are so many books that are similar and better than these books. SMeyer just happened to be the one that got famous which is annoyoing because so many parts of Twilight are practically copied from others and unoriginal

That's all I can think of at the moment!

Anyone else here watch vampire diaries? It has the same human girl in love with vamp guy in it, but this is more teenagey, and also has personality! And if anyone tries saying that they copied Twilight-make sure you know your facts, cos Vampire Diaries was originally written in the early 90s- 14 YEARS before the suethors.

Hm... wonder if smeyer decided to copy the series?

twilight is total crap. i admit to never giving it a real chance, but with constant fangirl talk in my ears and weirdo vampires shot in a very blah kind of way (idk if its just me but color seems to be nonexistent in the posters and movie and shit)

and then it spawned a bunch of other crappy vampire shows. cmon! not cool. ive sworn to never read or watch anything twillight weenie related, especially reading this forum which ive looked at the stuff said here on other sites. you guys are totally right. and whats worse...i have an edward cullen sim in my game thanks to my sister begging me to put him in! curse me!!!

what happened to the good old times when harry potter ruled (my hero and soulmate) and fyi im not obsessed, im just a regular fan of magic, not pussy vampires who cant get their lives straight.

There are a lot of books and shows that focus in on a human and a vampire in love, SMeyer didn't invent vampire romance. She just wrote a really shitty example of it.

I don't really belong on this thread since I don't particularly hate Twilight but people like the moron in that video make me lol.

I watched the first one on DVD last year sometime and liked it enough to be interested in watching the second one. I haven't seen it yet though since I like to read the book first before watching films. I just finished the book and...I kind of cried,...not just the once What can I say, I'm a sucker for a heartbreak novel .

So anyway, I agree with a lot of what you guys have said about it, it does promote a lot of crap that young impressionable teens would be better off ignoring and I hate obsessive fan types but...well, I can see the appeal and I'm a little bit sucked in by all the prettiness (yes, I'm shallow )

I don't hate Twilight, I actually used to love it.
But I will say things I really really don't like about it.

1. Bella. Is. An. Idiot. I agree she should've died when she jumped off that cliff.
Or Edward should've left her to die in that dance studio.
2. The movie was beyond horrid.
3. Robert whatever is so weird looking and throughout half of the movie he was making weird ass faces.
4. How are Vampires gonna drink blood from animals? That's non-sense.
5. Edward should be able to read Bella's thoughts so he can know how psycho she is.
6. Renesme? What the fuck. Why would Bella even combined names in the first place.
7. Why does everyone in Forks love her? If she was an ugly pale freak in Arizona she is in Forks too!
8. Why on Earth do the vampires sparkle? "I can't go in the sunlight, not because I will burn up or anything like that. It's because I sparkle!"
9. The whole dating each other thing is a bit weird to me too..
10. Edward should've just gave in and killed Bella like the first time he saw her, and just massacred the whole school.
11. I don't like how Bella used Jacob, she's a conceided bitch, he shoulda just told her to fuck off.

Lots of repeats, so basically Twilight sucks for a few main reasons.

Bella is a twat, in the nicest sense of the word. She is a weak ass, main female character who always needs a male companion at her side. When Edward left her? "OMG JACOBBBB" when Edward came back "OMG EDWARDDD"

bitch needs to quit playing with emotions already.

But no really, Stephenie Meyer should've just submitted this crap to fanfiction.net and left it to rot there.

Why can't Edward read Bella's mind? Cos she doesn't have one!

Why Twilight sucks:
Because Twilight is badly written crap.

Because Edward is abusive and Bella is totally submissive. And it is portrayed as "truu luvv!1"

Because the Twilight fans are really stupid

Because the werewolves are pedophilic.

Because imprinting is sexist and horrible, and takes away the right to make your own choice.

Because Bella is whiny.

Becaus Bella never shuts up about Edward and his incredible *beauty*

Because there are so many plot holes it is a literate Swiss Cheese.

That is why.

good point on the literate swiss cheese. Only why are we disgracing switzerland by comparing it's cheese to twilight?

Good point.

Apologies to the Swiss. And cheese.

Anything else with holes I can compare it to?

I went to see New Moon with my friends, we were so ready to laugh out butts off.
But we weren't the only ones having a good time, the whole audience (apart from a couple of pre-teens) was laughing so bad at times

I'll never get that image of Bella and Edward running smiling in the woods, the whole audience just cracked up seeing that

The whole Twilight is just pathetic, but so very amusing. :D

Okay, so Twilight is stupid and sucks, and the main characters are bimbos and pedophiles, but I can answer this one: Drinking blood from animals is easy, I do it all the time: First, you bite them in the neck, opening some major arteries. Then, you drink their blood. Really, it's quite easy. Then you peel them and eat them.

I hope you throw the bones out when eating the peeled bodies.

u can always compare it to a strainer. lets all the substance and good flavors go away. keeps the lumpy crap around.

Well I didn't actually mean how. I just meant Vampires are always known for drinking blood from people, so I thought it was odd that they were drinking blood from animals...

Exactly. Twilight is a literate strainer, with lots of purple prose and not much actual meaning.

Case ended.

Okay I don't know why I'm in this group because I don't "hate" Twilight or anything.
But, I started reading it again.. (hah) and I don't see how it's soo bad.
I don't like alot of things about it, but it's not absolutely horrid.
The whole badly written thing I guess I don't understand because I don't really see those kinds of things, I just like books for the story line, and not the words used and whatnot.. if that makes any sense..

lol @ beautifullyflawless (way at the top), i know. i was bored in study hall at school so i asked my friend if i could borrow her Twitwit book and see what was so great about it. i seriously couldn't get past three pages either! it SUCKS! twifans, what the h*** is so freakin amazing about it???? I mean, seriously, the vampires freakin' sparkle? what the h*** is that?! couldn't they just die? like in all vampire legends? Stephanie does write like a three year old, stringing together words in 200 pages of crap. bella's just a frigin' idiot if she thinks Edward is actually going to ever love her. Just go live your life instead of read 200 pages of crap, alright?

That damn Edward Cullen poster fell on me while I was sleeping last night. It's been firmly on the wall since the end of October and my birthday, and now it falls on me. While I sleep. Nobody wants to wake up to that.

He was watching you sleep. He was fascinated. He got to far off the wall.

I hate Twilight because the storyline seem's corney and stupid to me and it's not intresting.

Huuuuuuh... bella, bella, bella
 

i dont like...

1. the fact that she's obsessing over him just because he's this.
2. begging to become a vampire have no human morals.
3. this face she makes in the movie.
4. everything else.

Why do I hate it:
1. Edward and Jacob are pedofiles
2. Bella can't do ANYTHING without Edward
3. Charlie doesn't try to protect Bella and Reenesme when he finds out that Jacob is a werewolf
4. How many straight men sparkle??
5. Vegetarian vampires - YEAH RIGHT
6. Bella likes Edward because of his look and Edward likes Bella because of her smell o.o
7. The reason that Edward can't read Bella's mind is that she doesn't have any
8. At the last book Bella [vampire] and Jacob [werewolf] are best friends. Uhh...
9. None of the vampires in whole Twilight saga don't have fangs and they don't bite neck, they bite ARMS
10. All of the books are loooong and boooooooring

There you go x]

1. it's filled with cliches
2. vampires SPARKLE!!! could you imagine Dracula SPARKLING???
3. Edward's a fairy
4. Bella's too whiny
5. Bella should have died a LONG time ago
6. The fans
7. team Edward/ Jacob. IT'S A FREAKING BOOK! THEY'RE NOT REAL!
8. if I had to choose, I'd be Team Guy who Almost Ran Bella Over with a Truck
9. the vampires don't have fangs
10. the vampires don't feed on people. that's just wrong
11. Edward's a 108 year old virgin
12. Robert Pattinson
13. S Meyer couldn't write a book for 5 year olds

Te only character I like is Jacob because he is no doubt sexy.
But....
1. Vampires don't sparkle
2. Bella is meant to be normal, but all the guys like her....
3. Bella is always gloomy all the time.
4. Why does Bella love Edward when she finds out he's 108? It's just creepy.
I could go on forever, but no.

it's the twilight groupies which get to me, especially the one's who see the film and 5 seconds after they think they're vampire
AND the stupid team whateve bags...

Why did they have to steal Linkin Park from me!?
T.T

My bestfriend has twilight posters ALL OVER her bedroom and theres one of Robert Pattinson facing directly opposite the bed so when im lying there trying to go to sleep i have his face staring at me! Creepy!

I can't stand Twilight and don't understand the hype about it; my bestfriend and two of our other friends are absolute nuts for it, my best friend at least likes Jacob and doesn't like Edward but my other friend LOVES Edward/Rob and actually got pissed off with me when i dissed the movie and him. Lol.

I got dragged along to New Moon with those two and couldn't stop laughing through the movie .. i listened to my friends though and didn't moan about it during the movie but straight after started bugging them about how awful it was .. Jeez

1; The acting is absolutely TERRIBLE
2; The story is so unbelievable
3; it nearly put me to sleep, if it's a good movie it won't do that
4; Bella is a whiny gloomy sad sack
5; Why the heck would she waste however many months doing absolutely nothing just for a stupid 'vampire' who isn't capable of proper emotions, jeebus she was missing school and her friends and everything!
6;The books are boring, i read parts of it over my friends shoulder and i can't understand how she can keep reading them over and over and over
7; Stephanie Myers can't write.
8; The books names and covers tottaly copy another vampire series which apaprently is WAY better
9; DRACULA is a real vampire, not this sparkly vegetarian, fangless spoof
10; vampires can't go into the sunlight, why is it Edward and the rest of the family can go outside normally and yet when it comes to that stupid scene where he goes to kill himself to be with Bella, if he goes out then he'll die?

i, too, could go on for a looooong time about how stupid this series are but i won't .. i hope this fad dies out soon though

sorry, I haven't officially welcomed you to the group

Great point with number ten, but I can unfortunately explain
If he went outside and started glittering, everyone would know he wasn't human, and then the "bad guys" would kill him for that

Could I join this group? I HATE Twilight. A few months ago, my friends and I decided to rip up New Moon. All the twitards at school were glaring at us, but it was so damn fun! The reasons why I hate Twilight have already been said. I made a point to NOT read the books, and only saw the first half of the movie. (Nothing happened so we watched Frankenstein instead).

CrazyVivian - That sounds like frakking fun. I think I'll try that xD So yes, of course join this group!

things I hate:
1) The books lack a storyline or plot AT ALL.
2) Stephenie Meyer has completely destroyed ANY respect I may have had for vampires, both fictional and "real" with her SPARKLY, MIND-READING, idiotically "beautifuL" vampys
3) The vampires SPARKLE. (See above)
4) There was a book that came about 10 years before this, the Night World series of books by L.J. Smith, one of the stories in it has almost EXACTLY the same plot line, yet she continues to claim that she "dreamed" about Bella and Edward and then started writing.
5) Bella wastes 3 months of her life (or more, I can't remember) going emo (no offenso to you guys, i feel horrible for you for having such an wawful character in your midsts) because Edward disappears.
6) She [Bella] is continually being saved by Edward. Not once does SHE save Edward ON HER OWN.
7) she also appears incapable of living without a man. She continually just HAS to be in love with someone. EXACTLY what feminism tries to stop - women from looking weak like Bella Swan.
8) Unneccesarily gory parts (do we REALLY need to know about the birth scene, Bella's spine breaking, her arms and legs bones breaking...?)
9) The character are all so "tragic" and sadsackish.
10) STFU about the "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" thing. If it were me, everyone would be on Team Draco (Malfoy). He's AWESOME. And that's without him being some random unexplainable mythical creature.
11) Renesmee (i feel terrible for anyone who has this name, it would be really hard to spell, but that's not the point) has the GENETIC MAKEUP of a werewolf. yet guess what? SHE"S NOT A WEREWOLF.

This is why I hate Twitlight*.

*not a spelling error

Twilight is basically crappy fanfic disguised as Steph Meyer's sick fantasies, the moral of the series is basically to have a really, really hot boyfriend no matter what his flaws are.

why i hate Twilight:
1. Edward sparkles. If I ever saw Dracula sparkle I might want to tear my eyes out.

2. Bella is an idiot.

3. Edward is a pedophile and stalker. If I found out Edward was watching me while I sleep, I'll place a shotgun under my bed so I can blow his damn 'vampire' brains out.

4. The fans. (ENOUGH ALREADY)

5. The whole Team Edward and Team Jacob B.S.

6.Stephanie Meyer cannot write. It's horrible. Her books make me want to cry.

7.Bella is sending an extremely bad message to young women in the world. 'My boyfriend left me. I'll just cry and act slightly catatonic for three months and want to kill myself. Woe is me!' Well guess what, I wish Bella killed herself or got hit by a truck and the damn series ended.

8. Waste of paper and time.

9. It ruined the vampire genre for me!

My older sister bought me the first book as a present and it's a coaster in my room. I guess it is useful. I just so happy my younger (7) is not into Twilight (she throws books at the TV when trailers or other promotional videos play. If only I can change her mind about the Jonas Brothers and Miley. . . )

Oh, and also: because it's #@&&@&^@

Frankly, I don't care so much about the vampiric and werewolf lore so much as the notions Stephanie Myers had behind writing this.

It pretty much means teaches young children that having an unhealthy, borderline ABUSIVE relationship is desirable and good. If Edward was instead some creepy, pale, and nerdy guy who stared at her during lunch, I'm sure that she would not have received him so well. That, in itself, pretty much says that if the guy you're fancying is beautiful, then it's perfectly reasonable for him to stare at you, crawl by your bedroom window at night, throw you around and leave you like you're a piece of crap (pardon my language), and disallow you to make your own decisions. I dunno, that doesn't seem like a very good relationship. An example? Bella insists that she doesn't want to go to prom, but Edward says she's just being difficult. Why, doesn't that come to show that he's just the gentleman? And he forces her to go.

The thing that irks me most about the series is how it quietly persuades young readers that it's alright to have this kind of relationship, because having a boyfriend means you will be happy, lovely, and loved. Not having a boyfriend means you're going to be upset, irritable, and worthless. Perfectly lovely moral to be giving seventh graders, eh? I was a seventh grader when I read this, so I'm not exaggerating what my opinions were when I read this. I was honestly depressed when I realized I didn't have boyfriend. What did I do? I got one and became more depressed when the kid wasn't like Edward (a stalking, eaves-dropping, and creeper boyfriend). Sure, when you're in seventh grade, you aren't mature, but you shouldn't have to suffer the consequences of reading some horrible piece of trash that some call 'literature.' That's just a joke.

I think the best idea presented by SMeyer is that when said abusive boyfriend leaves Bella, she goes into a fit and starts doing things to bring her an adrenaline rush (basic suicide attempts in any other context) just so that she can see Edward's face again. No really guys, what?!

I don't mind the sparkles. It's the message that the book is sending that bothers me. 'Your life is not complete without a man!' 'Be self-centered and care only about yourself. If you're sad, no one else matters!' And the 'sneaky' OMG ABORTION IS WRONG Stephanie Myer 'snuck' in the last book.

Like most vampire stories, the male vampires all have very little in the way of personality. Mary Sues, the lot of them.

Also, Vampire Knight is totally the anime equivalent of Twilight. Just thought I'd point that out.


The entire book isn't badly written, it's just some of the ideas she has in her book that I disagree with.

ALL i have to say is that i hate it because VAMPIRES DONT SPARKLE THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN SPARKLE WITHOUT LOOKING GAY IS MICHEAL JACKSON period

Who says Vampire ?

Everything about it.

They make vampires look like sissies, and Bella is just.... UGH!!

Idea: Present Twilight as a yaoi with Jacob and Edward fighting their feelings...for each other.

Get rid of Bella completely.

^lol

Better Idea: Introduce Van Helsing into the plot and replace Bella with Buffy the vampire slayer. Now we have an interesting story line!

NOW that would be interesting.

It should have ended with a gun pointed to his head.

The main reason I hate Twilight is that it reads like bad Mary Sue-ish fanfiction. Really bad Mary Sue-ish fanfiction. It's like Meyer has a secret vampire fetish and she writes these "books" to fulfill her own fantasies.

And the whole sparkling thing? Come on! What vampire with an ounce of self-respect would freaking sparkle? Poor Bela Lugosi must be spinning in his grave. He was one of the best vampires Hollywood has ever had and for anyone to even imagine Lugosi's Dracula sparkling is laughable. Vampires are evil...they don't fall in love with whiny teenagers and they don't sparkle. To be honest I really don't know a lot about vampires, but obviously I know more than Stephanie Meyer does.

And don't get me started on Edward/Robert. I don't want to insult anyone, but I think the guy looks a but effeminate. The surly/sullen expression on his face always pisses me off for some reason.

I'm sorry, but if you want to see a portrayal of vampires which shows them in their true light, watch Bela Lugosi in Dracula, Keifer Sutherland in The Lost Boys or even Gary Oldman as Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula. Hell, even Paul Ruebens (aka Pee-Wee Herman) was better as a vampire in the movie version of Buffy The Vampire Slayer!

Maybe it's because I am now in the older generation (I'm 29), but I just don't get it. I just think that Twilight is the most ridiculous thing ever and anyone who thinks that this is the greatest book/movie has absolutely no taste whatsoever.

Unlike most of you, I don't really care that Meyer's vampires sparkle like pasty-faced clowns in sequin suits. It's her stupid masturbatory fantasy; she can do whatever she wants with it. It doesn't "ruin the vampire genre" because NOTHING is preventing you from enjoying the vampire novels that are well-written. Yeah, I'd go back in time and send a virus on her computer if I could, but it's easy enough to ignore a badly-written novel. Just, um, don't read it?

The problem is, it's not just a badly-written series. It's a series with a dangerous message and it's targeting a very impressionable demographic: tweens and teens (and moderately educated middle-aged women. Y'know, your run-of-the-mill Oprah sheeple).

Meyer tries to defend the anti-feminist criticisms by saying that feminism is about choice and Bella made her choices willingly. Okay, cool, but that's not the problem. The problem is that Bella and Edward's relationship is portrayed in a positive light when it's actually quite dysfunctional. "He's bossy and domineering because I'm weak! He's just protecting me from danger so I should trust him blindly! Our love is all-consuming and I am nothing without him!" Do we really want to have another generation of women to grow up believing that love is about finding a man who will protect you from the big bad world? I hate to sound all, "Oh, just think of the children!" but I don't know how else to put it. Twilight reinforces gender stereotypes and trite cliches about ~~~star-crossed lovers~~~.

It also preaches abstinence for no reason other than Meyer's belief that it's an admirable thing to do. Twilight portrays sex in an overly romanticized way. "We should wait because it's the right thing to do and when we do make love it's gonna be so amazing and romantic and perfect because I'm doing it with my one true love!1!!" I'm not suggesting that you should all go out and lose your virginities RIGHT THIS INSTANT but I think it's important to realize that sex in real life is far more complex than the sex portrayed in teen romance novels. Education is the key to success, yadda yadda yadda.

I don't think there's anything wrong with liking Twilight. Some people like the actors (they're not my type but hey, who hasn't watched a movie just to ogle at the pretty people) and others just think it's cheap entertainment. The problem begins when they start believing that Edward and Bella's "relationship" is the kind of love that everyone should aspire to have.

/TLDR

How about this?

I hate Twilight because I feel people make such a big deal out of it and its too over-rated as it is. and the storyline/plot is stupid to me. besides, I'm not obsessed with vampires so I wouldn't absolutely read the book nor watch the movie.

Agreed with all of this, they're exactly the reasons why I can't stand Twilight. Just one little thing to point out:



This is something I read many, many times. If I don't actually read those books, how can I know if they're badly-written or not?
To make an example with my personal experience, I discovered Twilight in 2007 or so... everyone was talking really good about it, and I decided to give it a try, even if the story didn't inspire me that much. Read the first book, found out that not only it was completely un-original and un-inspiring, but it was also a bunch of repetitive, badly written anti-feminist words, full of medieval morals. So, I decided to give up on the series.
Still my point is: before critizicing something, it's better to know what it's about. It's true that, thanks to the internet, the reviews and the movies, you can end up knowing everything about the story without ever reading it (hell, even I am as informed as a Twilight fan about the end of the story, even without finishing the reading!), but I'm still on the "never rely on what others say about literature/music/movies and take a look at the thing yourself before criticizing!"

/end boring clarification

Twilight raped my mind and ate my womb.

Exactly what I was going to say (especially the Draco Malfoy bit). Another thing is that the books are BORING! I mean, who wants to listen to Bella going on about how amazing Edwards is for half of the series. Also, nothing bad EVER happens to Bella. It's like 'oh dear. there are vampires trying to kill me. they wont because my darling amazing edward will save me.' Pathetic.

They also set a really bad example for teenagers: Getting married like just out of high school, having a baby just out of high school, attempting suicide because your boyfriend moved away....
I could go on. But I wont. That would take days.

FINALLY! I've been looking for a group like this in ages. I hate Twilight cuz it's pure bullshit. I never liked it and I never will.

I saw the first movie with my friend (she offered to pay for my ticket...free movie) but it wasnt great, cringed throughout most of it. Especially when they were lying in the supposed meadow (more like forest to me). They body positions were just awkward to watch, with their limbs bent in odd ways. Like anyone would think they were in love...disfigured bodies

tut tut tut
lol

oh and all the useless stuff that the series has brought...Im seeing Team Jacob and Team Edward cosmetic packs in stores

omg, u serious?

I hope this Team Jacob and Team Edward bullshit can stop soon, I'm tired of it. :cylon:
