AFAB Mormons can only want to get married as young as possible and start pumping out babies, so its not a surprise. They're taught to wrap their entire self-worth around male approval and all sorts
@@edwardtjbrown1979 finding out stephanie meyer is a mormon really put that entire series in perspective. literally none of the female characters have personalities that aren’t directly related to benefiting their partners, except maybe Rosalie but even then her story is just so sad.
Guessing this is a joke, but she’s literally a teenager. Most teenagers are exactly like that… not a whole person until their brain fully develops in their 20s. So yeah, she is technically throwing that all away
I don’t understand why Bella didn’t just name the baby “Charlie”. It would’ve been really sweet to name the baby after her father who unconditionally supported her throughout the series, plus it would’ve worked for either gender- better than naming them after Bella’s toxic love interests or her mother who was barely there for her. And most importantly, it would’ve made Charlie happy.
If I'm not mistaken, Nessie's middle name is Carlie. WHich is a combination of Carlisle and Charlie. So Charlie at least got some represenatation. As far as Charlie goes, I'll sort of agree with you about movie Charlie. But book Charlie in Eclipse ended up treating Bella like garbage when he congradulated the guy who sexually assaulted her. So Charlie is frankly lucky Bella even talks to him after that.
I've never understood why Bella felt she couldn't see her parents after she turned into a vampire. She could give so many excuses for her not ageing. Botox, plastic surgery, expensive facials, new makeup routine. Hell eventually you could dye your hair gray. But they went straight to, I can NEVER see them again but also they know I'm still alive so they will be confused and heartbroken their only child never sees them anymore.
In the book becoming a vampire changes the way they look so much people who knew them from when they were humans don't recognize them anymore, in fact at the time the movies were coming out it was speculated a different actress might take over to play Bella after she was turned
@@TabbyeLynne Of all of the things to leave out, why a super important detail that actually adds to the plot and gives reasoning for something really dumb?
I Love how Stephenie meyer's pro life agenda was so over the top that it all became a pro choice ad . Like girl , keeping the baby killed you and made a demon baby that broke all your bones and made you into a killer anyway.
@@henryisthere it's a catch 22 when it comes to choice there tho. If she chooses to die for her child she will be rewarded with eternal life and seen as this wonderful woman who chose to keep the baby when so much pressure was against it. It's not giving choice it's giving a gross morman/christian choice of choosing to keep the pregnancy and die or be a shit person/mom
@@henryisthere she “chose” to keep it bc that’s what the author wanted her to do bc guess what? bella isn’t a real person, she’s a character made by a person who had an agenda to push
One thing Nick didn't touch on was how PISSED the fandom was when the book came out because of what a G-rated nothing the honeymoon night was. People didn't expect full-on erotica, but thought they'd at least get a page or two of purple prose. Instead they went from "pulled me into deeper water" to the next morning of bitten down pillows and bruises. Oh, and then baby time while Edward begins to fade into the background of his own series. If you go digging you can find Meyer's reaction to the fandom. She was very interactive with her fans during the book and film releases until the praises turned to criticism. Infamously her brother-in-law posted a public letter in her defense which came off super-salty and paternalistic. PS combination names is absolutely a Mormon thing
lol i grew up mormon and wasnt allowed to read it at all bc it was too spicy. i wasnt even allowed to read the 3rd book either. 😅 edit: ofc i absolutely snuck into the library at 7am and read the book before school what do u think i am? a monster?
I read this book at like 11 on the playground at Catholic school (amazing how that was allowed) and I thought the fade out was the spiciest thing I'd ever encounter
To be fair, Robert Pattinson was probably being sarcastic about the music. I _love_ his interviews about Twilight, he hated it more than any one else, bless him.
Grooming is completely normalized in Mormon culture, so it isn't surprising that Meyer thought she was writing an adorable love story with the grooming plot.
I was also absolutely horrified by this entire plotline;I was already pro-choice by the time I was 13 or 14, but boy howdy did that book really hammer it home a year or two later, lol
Made me pro-choice, pro-birth control and pro-science because how tf does the undead have fully active sperm? Like at least eggs can stay viable in dying women but sperm is made daily. Really had my 14 year old brain mad and confused.
Bella is a Jesus metaphor. She suffered and died, then a couple days later wakes up from the dead as an immortal. And not just an immortal, but a super special one whose more super special than any other immortal. The whole series is bible fanfic
I was struck by something really quite obvious in hindsight when you said "she suffers a moment of labor and then comes back eternal". I jokingly said to myself, "Yeah, just like Jesus. Of course, that's the perfect Christian story". And then I thought about that and I was like, damn, Stephanie Meyer really was out here marketing a pro-life resurrection allegory as a romantic fantasy for young girls. And it REALLY worked.
Oh the whole choosing to die for your unborn child and be rewarded for that with eternal life is definitely a mormon allegory. See in Meyers mind, no love (well maybe except gods love) is more pure than a mothers love, and giving your life is the ultimate love. In other words if you didn't choose to die for your child, you would be the worst of the worst. So it's yet another "choice" where there's an obvious "right" choice but you need to use your free agency to make it or it's not as good. There's alot of these catch 22 like choices in the mormon religion, lots of exmo (ex mormon) content creators go a little more in depth with it
@@unluckyone1655 can you recommend any ex mormon creators who talk about this? i am genuinely so curious to hear more now, like it makes sense but i can’t believe we all just ate these books up as teenagers without thinking about it.
@@unluckyone1655 such a sad thought process. like, no one knows that baby. but the pregnant person has an entire life, friends and family who love and depend on them. what’s a greater loss? anyone planning for pregnancy, PLEASE get your birth plan in writing. if you’re unable to speak for yourself and it comes down to your life or the baby’s, don’t let anyone make that decision for you.
I don’t remember who posted it but there is a video on interpreting Twilight through the Mormon perspective from someone who grew up in the church and I highly recommend, probably wouldn’t be hard to search for
I think it sounds like something Mormons pastors say about sex to discourage people from getting too crazy in the bedroom. “Anything other than missionary will just hurt you” 🙄🙄🙄
This pregnancy reminds me of the main character’s pregnancy in Steven King’s “Dark Tower” series; eating bloody, raw liver a la “Rosemary’s Baby.” Then she gives birth to some crazy, bloody, spider-monster baby!
Yeah, my issue with the pro-life stuff wasn't so much that it happened (keeping your baby bc you want to is also pro-choice), it was that keeping the baby was the only time Bella actually stood up for herself and opposed Edward so the pro-lifeness if it really stood out. Also, in the book I believe Rosalie became a little creepily protective of pregnant Bella.
It wasn’t the only time. He didn’t want her to be a vampire or to have sex with her while she was human. She wanted both of those things and never backed down. She also kept being friends with the werewolves and going to the reservation when she wanted to and he didn’t want her to.
rosalie has a whole lecture thats one of the few actual conversations between her and bella, where she explains that shes mean to bella cuz shes jealous of her being able to have a baby and how a baby is the best thing EVER and she cant pass up this miracle.
I disliked the "it's just a little baby, it's not its fault" conversation, personally. That's what took it from 'weird storyline but would technically work as a pro choice story' to 'oh this is pro life propaganda'.
I think if your life is on the line, while it's still ultimately your choice, you have to consider how your death is going to affect the people around you. What if she was a single mom with kids already and stood to leave them motherless. Like OFC your husband is upset that you're going to let yourself die. Edward's a creepy fuck, but he wasn't totally wrong about this. She was about to make him a widower after like an hour of marriage lol.
Bella breaking her back in this movie is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It's right up there with her tripping and falling in the woods in the beginning of New Moon.
It's so bad, I was actually relieved it was a girl, despite the other option being Renesmee. That's how weird naming your kid after the two boys who fought to get into your panties is. It makes Renesme the lesser of two evils.
@@user-tc9ko6gi6j That was stupid too, especially since Snape was still a bastard and Hagrid got no recognition. Not that I touch the terf books anymore anyway.
@@meghanphillips3495 and imagine how infinitely more rancid the creepy grooming thing would be if your groomer LITERALLY INSPIRED YOUR MIDDLE NAME 🤢 Edit: of course if it had been a boy Meyer wouldn’t have gone that direction. Creepy grooming is okay but probably not GAY creepy grooming
The whole mormon theme made this whole baby debacle make soooo much sense. Cause there is absolutely no way bella was supposed to continue to carry that child. I remember watching this as a kid and being extremely uncomfortable and confused why she would continue to put herself through it... WILD!! Also I love a wedding too nick or atleast the drinking part.
Yeahh for me my “growing up and realizing why that one part of my favorite book series was so weird” was realizing JK wrote everyone to harass Hermione about S.P.E.W. because JK is pro-slavery 💀 As a kid I was baffled why everyone hated the idea so much, why the author made the acronym… spew… and why Hermione ended up giving up.
@@bethanychatman9531 Well I’m not in the best state atm to explain the racism and antisemitism other than the goblins running the bank and being portrayed as selfish a-holes. Oh another racism was Kingsley Shacklebolt’s name. And Cho Chang! But anyway, about S.P.E.W. SPEW is a book-only subplot late in the series iirc? Maybe mid-late, since late series they’re not even at Hogwarts for a while. It’s basically an anti-slavery campaign Hermione does! She’s trying to free Hogwarts’ house elves and knits them hats. But everyone (even the good guys! Especially the good guys!) are constantly on her case about it, she’s mocked, and even _the house elves_ are written to _enjoy_ being enslaved. They avoid her clothes at all costs and complain about them, stating they don’t want to be free! Eventually she “sees reason” and stops SPEW and gives up. All that was a memorable part of the books for me because I loved SPEW and thought all the other characters suddenly went off the deep end! Turns out it was just the author’s real feelings showing. It wasn’t even good writing, because she clearly showed the house elves of the world _aren’t_ happy, with Dobby and Kreacher. But there’s no sense in racism.
To be fair I also got married at 18, but that’s only because my partner and I weren’t sure gay marriage was gonna be federally legal forever so we figured we better take the opportunity while we could
@@kenirainseeker539 Well we had been together for many years at that point so it wasn’t exactly we got married early, it was just we got married young. And we had already been living together working and supporting ourselves for several years because of some unpleasant personal situations. We actually are celebrating our 5 years of marriage next week! I personally think I made the best choices for my life, but my life is way outside the norm and honestly yeah most folks shouldn’t marry quick or young but there’s always gonna be us weirdos and outliers
@@kenirainseeker539 Yeah, I had a friend who got married at 19, and I was like “oh, good”. It’s a long and complicated story, but I thought the marriage was good for her, while for most people, I’d think it was a bad idea to get married so young.
The whole pro life argument was completely lost on 14 year old me watching this movie. I literally didn’t even realize that was the intention until like 3 or 4 years ago rewatching the fetus/baby dialogue and then remembering Stephanie is a Mormon. But when I realized my jaw was on the FLOOR.
I like that there's a moment in the next movie where Bella gets mad at Jacob for nicknaming her daughter "Nessie," as if it isn't a much better name than "Renesme." Child protective services should have been called on Bella just for that name alone.
Is it weird that I genuinely wanted a prequel about Edward's life in 1920s Chicago? A vampire as a vigilante or even the muscle in the Chicago mafia sounds much more intriguing than the main story and that's what infuriates me about Twilight, Meyer can write good backstories for the Cullens but nothing for Bella. Imagine her telling her backstory to someone in 2200: "Well, it all started when I put on my headphones and listened to Good Charlotte"
I think it's because the way the actress chose to convey the "otherworldly" thing the vampires have going on is leaning into more childlike + theatrical mannerisms. I always loved her performance because it's really subtle. Where the other actors tried to channel their (stereotypically) ideas about vampires being dark and brooding into their performances, Alice stands out because the actress understood that just acting threatening isn't enough. There are threatening humans all over the place! All she had to do was not come off as an average person. She's whimsical, springy, and almost pixie like, it all works with the makeup and hair so the end result is something altogether off-putting
@@almostclintnewton8478I think it’s because thats Alice in the books. If Rosalie acted the way Alice acted it wouldn’t make any sense at all because Rosalie isn’t Alice
Okay the scentbird drag in the middle of this insanely amazing add made me watch it twice. "To me, all fragrance is gender neutral, it's a smell." Preachhh
omg YES i remember telling my surprised ex that women statistically prefer more floral scents on men cuz... they smell good? mystery man smell is such a narrow box for cologne.
@@abbyz13 I totally do this too, it's the only type that's worked for me, the manly grey and blue shit. But I've known men that buy cologne and room fresheners that make me gag, it's like the makers thought any pleasant scents are too female
@@abbyz13 You don't have to insult things that most women prefer. Wear what you want. I love sweet things. They're not WEIRD or unpleasant. Tone it down.
It's actually appalling to me that her editors even allowed this to be published. The message here is basically that even if you have a doctor telling you that having a child WILL kill you, your obligation as a 'good mother' is to carry to term instead of prioritizing your own life and having an abortion. If anyone in real life decided to follow Bella's example because 'le romance', they don't have a team of magic vampires standing by to save their life. Those women would just die.
Unfortunately, this happens in real life. A lot of women are guilted and shamed and pressured into keeping a fetus that could potentially kill them because it's the more "moral" thing to do. Especially if assault is the reason for the impregnation. It was "God's plan" for it to happen, and therefore, the plan should be followed. I speak from personal experience, and I have seen it happen to a few women. Even if it results in a miscarriage, and the baby is dead with within the womb, some will still make the woman carry that baby to full term and then give birth. Some women have died from this, as well. And ultimately, it was the way that woman's life was supposed to go because of "the plan".
@@lunabearsong2043 I hate that phrase so much for this very reason. “A plan” is just as plausible as a mistake and we should take things as they come and make decisions with the best information and with the best outcome in mind. Things don’t always happen for a reason, sometimes they just happen and we are responsible for finding a way to deal with them.
The “now I’m a fat house cat” song is from the first Twilight, they dance to it at their prom. Kristen Stewart actually recommended it during the first film. They put it in Breaking Dawn to do like a full circle thing.
I always thought that it would’ve been so much more interesting if Bella actually died from giving birth and the next movie/book would be about Edward being a single dad and about how he loves the kid but also hates it for killing his one true love…
add in the cocktail that the demon child grows unnaturally fast and kind of looks like its mom but 10x more bloodthirsty (and also like. the whole Uncle Wolf Thirsts For It thing) and it could've been a FANTASTIC psychological horror story meyer really should just write horror tbh. the goddamn pregnancy arc on its own was body horror on crack
@@FeeFiFoFumBalthazar yk when you lay it out like that...it is a bit disturbing. Honestly the whole imprinting thing with Jacob and Renesme (sorry if I butchered her name) was just weird for me, even as a kid I felt like they didn't even need to add that in at all. Now you got me questioning Ms. Stephanie all over again lol
Even as a kid I knew whatever Edward and Bella did throughout the series wouldn't really matter because Meyer just HAD to have that Happily Ever After. Remember the tease of the final battle between Team Cullen Babysavers vs. Team Volturi? Seeing the Cullens die was such a great twist that they trashed because of the marketing appeal.
Nah, dead mom/wife/girlfriend so a man can mope around for the whole movie is an annoying trope. Like jfc find something else they can be sad about instead of killing the women around them. The worst is the dead wife/daughter combo, usually killed so he can be a superhero who avenges them.
Bella's pregnancy makes me think of Darla's in Angel, which, if I remember correctly, *did* result in a vampire-single-dad situation, albeit briefly. (Death/coma seems to be what happens to women who get pregnant in his stuff. 👋)
Nick, a great thesis and a great video as ever. Just to note, I'm in favour of abandoning the term 'pro-life'. Being anti-abortion is anti-women's-healthcare, not in favour of women's lives.
@@Dionysus999 this term is the most realistic, I like it. We also need to stop seeing pregnancy as feasible for any woman to go through, it’s not a cute medical procedure, it’s often life threatening in multiple ways.
The Iron and Wine song being played at the end of the first Twilight and in the wedding scene has baffled me for years lol. It's a song about realizing how much of a lie the "American Dream" really is and feeling impotent to do anything to stop it from continuing. The line is "big pill" rather than "big bill", the big pill being the "hard pill to swallow" that you were lied to your whole life. It's not even remotely *about* romance. It's usage in these movies is so odd esp given how opposed to Stephanie Meyer's own beliefs Iron and Wine's music is. A lot of his songs (at least from that era) are about losing faith in God and religion and the sadness that often comes during deconstruction.
I mean, if I was pregnant and the doctor told me having the baby would kill me, it would of course hit me hard, but I would choose to end the pregnancy. I still want to do many things with my life, I have dreams, and if I had a partner, I would of course want to still be with him many more years I guess. I have an aunt that was in this situation twice, and both times she chose to end the pregnancy. After stop trying, she finally got pregnant (in less dangerous situations) and nowadays has two kids. I can't get over the fact that Meyer really made us all eat the mormon crap she believes in 😂
Bella are just keeping it because it's edwards baby She ain't thinking of herself in ANY of the books/movies. So do you think that she would listen to the guy who litreally told to her face that he wanted to kill her.. that she would listen to him any other time? Yeah noo
@@Somebody9666 Though Bella is super co-dependent, I don't think you can really fault her in this case. I think a LOT of mothers would be willing to risk their lives for their unborn child if there was even a chance. Not saying I agree with Bellas perspective... I don't. BUt I get it.
@@noelbernabe8704 oh no, ALL the faults are on the creator of this "story". This story normalized grooming, pedophiles and romantasized abusive relationships. Watching it all again are really unsetteling... How Bella tells Edward leaving marks and bruises are OK. Bella not having her "freedom" UNTIL she married Edward? There are so many red flags in this saga i feel sick. I understand wanting to save the life of a child. But that don't make this message better. Pro-life propaganda are so disgusting and props to you if you wanna have the kid! BUT It's when the life of the mother are at danger it all falls apart imo. This are where everyone loses me.. I'm more for adoption but that's because there are so many children deserving of parents. But so many more parents that don't deserve children..
@@Somebody9666 There are a lot of things which bugged me about the Twilight Sage, but like I said earlier the issue of Bella being willing to risk her life to save the life of her child isn't one of them. For a lot of mothers, I'm sure deciding to end the life of your child is a very very difficult decision. Difficult to the point where I don't think you can credibly fault someone for taking either stance. I think a lot of women would do what Bella did if they were in her position, and I at least wouldn't blame them even if I personally don't agree with the stance. In the least it was Bellas choice and her decsion was respected. That's fair.
Funny that you bring up succubi because in the twilight universe, they were in fact inspired by the Alaskan girls. Also they are totally swedish, the vampires have wild and deep backstories. Also Charlie is fully a cop and he is ignoring the multiple blatant signs of domestic abuse. Must be the small town mindset
The whole theology of Mormonism is in these films. Living with your partner forever and ever... sex after marriage.. there's more. My stepgrandmother was in Stephanie Myers church ward. It was unbearable.
The amount of times Nick misnamed characters or forgot the names of characters is the best part of this video lol. In the books they're all so detailed but to movie doesn't develop any of side characters, aside from the Cullen family, which makes it hilarious.
i feel like i deserve some royalties from twilight because I'm a pale Native from Washington State and my name is Charley Edward Jacobs. Like ~ duh obviously this whole thing is about me
@@anti-usernamesaltaccount3623 I guess they do bc of the scene when Edward touched Bella’s belly and was like “the baby likes the sound of our voices” and she was all “you can hear it’s thoughts?!” 💀
If you want to continue your pregnancy, then it IS a baby. It was a baby to Bella. You can’t be pro-choice only sometimes; being pro-choice means accepting the pregnant person’s choice whether it be to have an abortion or continue the pregnancy. It’s Bella’s body and it’s Bella’s choice and she made the choice to have the baby despite almost everyone around her being against it. If you’re only pro-choice when the pregnant person is doing what YOU think is right then you’re not pro-choice at all. You can’t have it both ways.
I was working for a non profit when these movies came out and for fundraising events we would do an early release showing of each of the twilight movies in Santa Barbara and i gotta say, these movies might be cheesy but it was so fun to sit in an audience full of fans to watch it! We were GAGGED at the the end when she opens her eyes 😂
@@cheeling794 Yeah, false sense of security? Worst of all when not vegan for example when contributing to why colonialism and all forms of suffering still exists, especially when reincarnating into animals in agriculture, worst of all on this planet?
The way that a Mormon introduced a world of teens to like an abuse kink with the bruising and she’s, like you said, super into doing it again regardless and they make it seem hot and normal
Meyers: We can't dare show our young fans too much of the honeymoon night! 'Tis vulgar! 'Tis blasphemous! Also Meyers: BREAK THE FUKCING BED AND BELLA IN THE PROCESS! NO THATS NOT ENOUGH, LITERALLY BLOW HER BACK OUT VIA A KILLER DEMON BABY!
I thought it was weird how they didn't even think of birth control - like, Eddie's been around 100 years, he has to know about condoms. Lol. Of course with Steph being mormon, it makes sense.
@@nightlyre198 hey hey, not STERILE. that would still leave the possibility for this to make sense, since people thought to be sterile can still sometimes have kids by rare chance. eddie and the fang fellowship are *dead*, that is, according to meyer they are like inert dead things who cannot create life. guess bella just got the gushy so good it literally makes a dead man cum 😩
@@Saibellus Sterility is the inability to conceive a child (i.e.: not being able to reproduce at all for whatever reason - anatomical (lack of gonads, for example) or medical like the SNIP SNIP.) Infertility is the inability to conceive a child after one year of going at it. It doesn't mean you can't have offspring, it just means you're gonna have a very hard time reproducing. Vamp family should be sterile, not infertile, because dead things can't (or shouldn't be able to?) reproduce under any circumstance. tl;dr: sterility =/= infertility.
My grandmother was atheist/agnostic (didn't really know which, she just didn't like religion) it was nice going to sunday brunch with her and swimming in an indoor pool instead of spending it in church lol. People would ask "you going to church?" and we were like nah fam we goin in the pool B)
Watching you break down this series is healing the 13y/o girl in me who once thought this relationship and story was the "unattainable dream" I've always wanted. But no honey this is creepy and here's why
Reading breaking Dawn as a teenager is what made me realize the twilight books sucked. I was on a family camping trip with my friend who was also reading them and I was trying not to visibly look disappointed and annoyed because she was waiting to read the book after me once I finished it
Ahh. Homeward Bound. The greatest cinematic masterpiece that’s ever been. Definitely a staple of my Blockbuster rentals as a child. That should be on clip breakdown for sure.
Bella’s dream wedding dress is *way* prettier than her “real” dress…also the bruises/physical pain crap has been criticized for being very creepy abuser apologetics (“he just reeeaaallly loves you so it’s okay that he causes massive bruises and breaks your bones” yikes)
The turn this decidedly fantasy romance took with the body horror of Bella's pregnancy was startling to say the least to 15 year old me. The movie, while keeping a lot of the details from the pregnancy in the book, felt like it was trying to overwrite the pro-life message by making it as scary as possible without getting an R rating. Even with the pregnancy section being told from Jacob's perspective in the book, there was still great pains taken to ensure that Bella was always painted as self-sacrificing and noble and amazing for going through the body horror just to ensure her baby survived. Without that, the movie felt like it was trying to send the opposite message without being too direct lol
What I hate the most is that if someone truly internalized that message they don’t get to live as an undead, they just deprive a child of a mother due to selfish convictions
Seriously! they have such different yet seemingly complimentary comedic styles that I think they'd be the perfect duo to collab on a rifftrax-esque commentary of this absoluteshitkebab of a series
Nick, I read this book like 20 times in middle school...more than any of the other twilight books. it was my favorite so to see this review is definitely a trip. I will say that you do actually switch to Jacob's perspective for a good chunk of the Breaking Dawn book and it makes a lot more sense in the book! also glad you called out the racism because its very important to point out!
oh? it makes sense? How? Jacob are no better than Edward. After Bella plain right says 'I am NOT in love with you' he just chooses NOT to listen? To what SHE wants? Sounds like a sane guy... also hith him having the "hots" for a child and planing to date/marry her when she is "older"? Those "books" are garbage. Hopefully you save future children from them and these "movies". I would recomend watching cinema therapy's playlist about this saga.
@@Somebody9666 lmao I never said I still like or read the books they are garbage propaganda for racism.. I was just saying I have a memory from these books and from what I remember I thought the Jacob thing made sense. never said I agreed with any of it
@@darcysheltman3129 Sorry for the rant. I didn't meant to imply you agreed with this bonkers story x( Guess you can tell this topic easly boils my blood..😣
i remember watching this in middle school. i didn't even know the word ab0rtion yet. i sat in that theater just knowing that i would've had that baby ripped out of me so fast lol
Ok, but I love Flightless Bird! And it's only in the soundtrack because Kristen found the album in a bag on set during the first movie or something lol. Yes I watched her commentary feature on the first DVD...
Yeah, I think she was just really into indie music and suggested the song for the movie. I wouldn't be surprised if Rob Pattinson called the soundtrack "ahead of its time" to try and compliment her. He sang songs for the soundtrack of the original film.
As a Creepy Painting Enthusiast (though admittedly not an art historian some of this might be wrong) I did recognize some of those classic paintings that, as Nick said, have nothing to do with vampire children 1. i don't actually know this one but it looks neat 2. That's Nachtmar (Nightmare) by Henry Fuseli. Well, it's actually one of multiple versions that Fuseli made because the first one was so popular. It depicts a kind of demon thing called an Alp that sits on people's chests while they're sleeping and gives them nightmares (multiple cultures have a creature like this, it's thought to be an explanation for sleep paralysis); the horse in the background is a literal "night-mare". 3. idk this one either 4. This is one of multiple engravings by Theodore de Bry depicting the Tupinamba people of Brazil, based on some German guy's highly questionable accounts of them practicing ceremonial cannibalism. Supposedly these engraving were popular enough that they helped spread the stereotype of indigenous cannibals across Europe. Best case scenario the filmmakers didn't know this and just went "oh that's creepy", but even then it's a failure to do research that manages to squeeze just a bit more anti-indigenous racism into this franchise. Lovely. 5. This one is Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, a famous ukiyo-e piece often retroactively associated with the Gashadokuro myth. It depicts a princess (who actually existed but probably wasn't a witch) summoning a skeleton spectre (as the name suggests) to scare off a guy creeping around her castle in search of allies of her insurrectionist father. Rad. 6. This is a close-up of what I have to assume is either a Hieronymus Bosch painting or someone trying to imitate him. Shout-out to that guy shitting coins into a well. 7. i dont know what this is but those people look like they're really enjoying being eaten by that demon, good for them 8. Oh, that's Francisco Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son! It's probably the most famous of Goya's 14 "Black Paintings" that he painted on the walls of his house late in his life. He was, uh, going through it, as they say. 9. This is the *original* version of the Nachtmar painting from earlier.
My best friend bought a Cameo from you as my Christmas present and you congratulated me on my pregnancy and told us how surreal it is that people sit down at the end of a work day and watch your videos to wind down, I just wanted to say - I watch that Cameo often and as silly as it seems to say, it’s pulled me out of some really heavy emotions (pregnancy hormones) and I was just so pleased to hear everything you had to say, you went way off script in the best way possible and I just love all of your content so much, it feels like sitting down with a friend. Just wanted to thank you for being such a doll and keeping me company through this emotionally tumultuous time. For any viewers reading this, if you’re debating buying a Cameo, DO IT! Nick never falls short.
I have a joint degree in anthropology and gender and sexuality studies, I read "There Is No Manual" last year, and I watch Mama Doctor Jones here on TH-cam, so I know a good bit about what pregnancy does to the human body. Trying to imagine what someone would go through if all that crazy shit happened over only 1mo is making me queasy. Bones shifting, organs compressing, hormones fluctuating wildly ...
Love that Bella names her baby, the baby she was willing to die for, after her and Edwards mothers, who she adores so much, and we don't get a reaction from either of them
lmao as a kid i remember reading about the cullen extended family and thinking it was absolutely incredible, and then the movie absolutely killed any of the coolness/orginiality all of the mysterious extended vampires had
It's not only anti-choice, but it was even so in an instance where the pregnancy posed a risk to the mother's life. 😬If you want to be horrified, Meyer also elaborated on the mechanics of vampire s*x and erect*ons and it is WILD. All the anti-choice tropes like "it's not the baby's fault" are in there. This movie/book is pure body horror, honestly. It's also troubling that marriage and a child "cured" Edward's abuse. Women and children don't "cure" broken men. Anyone who thinks they can change an abuser with a wedding or baby should think otherwise.
The only good thing about this movie: that brief moment in the reception where two of the characters danced like they were in A Charlie Brown Christmas.
One of the worst arguments in this movie is how Jacob imprints on her daughter, and he says that it was always her daughter that he was drawn to and that was why he liked Bella. But that makes no sense, because she had JUST gotten pregnant, and even if the argument was about the egg, there's a new one each month. So there was nothing attaching Jacob to Bella before like he claims. (Unless that's what the author believes and she doesn't understand how periods work 😬)
A woman is born with all of the eggs she’ll ever have. Periods are shedding the uterine lining along with usually one egg that’s released from the ovaries. So the egg was always there but it’s still pretty flimsy to say he was drawn to an unmatured egg rather than the very normal thing of having a crush on a longtime friend lol.
At 6:05 Amanda the Jedi had to pause because she was cheering too loud to hear the video. Don’t worry Nick, I’m sure she can send you an exhaustive list of Bella x Alice fanfic!
Nick DiRamio’s Twilight clip breakdowns reminding me how both of Bella’s relationships with Edward and Jacob were absolutely toxic💀 I hate how romanticized it all is when both men were always pissed at Bella for having feelings and wanting to make her own decisions??
🤣 The scene with the voice over talking wolves sounds EXACTLY like the villain in ANY 80's cartoon! I was listening while I left the room for a minute and when I heard it I flashed back to being 8 watching Transformers with my brother!
Wuthering Heights spoiler. I realized while watching this that Edward’s reaction to Bella wanting to keep the baby thus letting herself die reflects the way Heathcliff speaks to Cathy in their final scene together.
Nick your videos have become my comfort series. I can't fall asleep without them playing in the background... and then I rewatch the new uploads in the morning over breakfast when I'm wide awake. Love all your content!
I completely forgot her name was Bella SWAN and idk why it’s making me laugh so much now 😂😂 It’s giving the same energy as me in primary school naming all my sims ‘Brown’ because I thought them having an english word as a surname would make me look cooler to my friends 😂 the creativity is strong in this one
"Name a show where the nanny comes and solves the problem" Me, who's been alittle bit to obsessed with Binging "The nanny" on hbo: I know a guy, who had 3 kids and was given life by a new jersey lady.
I believe those monologues on the beginning of each twilight movies was inspired by the TV show Criminal minds, that would have some of the characters reading literary quotes on the beginning and on the end pertaining to the general theme of the episode. It was seeing as something very classy and intelligent. However the tv show used very well quotes selection from really good acclaimed literature pieces of various types as such poems, book excerpts and including religious and gnostic quotes from old and new religion, as well as quotes from real life criminal like Ilene Uorus, Jeffrey Dahmer etc. The Twilight fails miserably in trying to copy the style because the choice of the quotes as well as the delivery of it is monotone done by one character that seems doesn't give a damn. Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention that as a Brazilian, I'm tired of the same thing, the same scenarios, is always Rio De Janeiro, Carnaval, samba and for some reason an Amazon Forrest, including in places that it shouldn't have and we are portrayed always as some poor barefoot Xaman vood-doo-Santeria healer with some cheese Xman type of power, brewing some stink hallucinogen tea, or the good old favela tug with ties with the Narco trafico or some whore with skimpy clothing, with a unrealistic body type and we are all same color, same hair, same eyes. Never mind the vast and one of the biggest ecosystems on Earth, from Arid desert, to tropical forest, Urban centers, coastal shores with dunes and Mountain terrain. Nope Brazil is only a big favela in the middle of the Jungle, where we trafic cocaine and have a pet monkey while we samba all day half naked. 😩🤬This lady couldn't just Google about Brazil? Lady use the internet and do your research. 🤦♀🤦♂🤦
these films started coming out right around when i started middle school and i wanted to read the books before i saw each movie. i did get a copy of breaking dawn but it was swiftly taken away after my mom heard it was a bit too adult for an 11 year old. by the time the last two films were being released i had pretty much moved on. anyway i’m very glad i missed out on these

Saying she's throwing her life away implies she had any ambitions, friends, or independent thoughts.
her barely existent personality said goodbye once edward entered the room
@@willowexist well, its a Mormon thing...
AFAB Mormons can only want to get married as young as possible and start pumping out babies, so its not a surprise. They're taught to wrap their entire self-worth around male approval and all sorts
@@edwardtjbrown1979 finding out stephanie meyer is a mormon really put that entire series in perspective. literally none of the female characters have personalities that aren’t directly related to benefiting their partners, except maybe Rosalie but even then her story is just so sad.
Guessing this is a joke, but she’s literally a teenager. Most teenagers are exactly like that… not a whole person until their brain fully develops in their 20s. So yeah, she is technically throwing that all away
I don’t understand why Bella didn’t just name the baby “Charlie”. It would’ve been really sweet to name the baby after her father who unconditionally supported her throughout the series, plus it would’ve worked for either gender- better than naming them after Bella’s toxic love interests or her mother who was barely there for her. And most importantly, it would’ve made Charlie happy.
If I'm not mistaken, Nessie's middle name is Carlie. WHich is a combination of Carlisle and Charlie. So Charlie at least got some represenatation.
As far as Charlie goes, I'll sort of agree with you about movie Charlie. But book Charlie in Eclipse ended up treating Bella like garbage when he congradulated the guy who sexually assaulted her. So Charlie is frankly lucky Bella even talks to him after that.
Honestly never liked the baby's name. 😂
@@courtneycherry5582 Bella is just horrible at names. I'm pretty sure if Jacob and Nessie have a child, she'll be pushing to name it Bellard.
@@noelbernabe8704 😂
@@noelbernabe8704 oh yikes wtf
I've never understood why Bella felt she couldn't see her parents after she turned into a vampire. She could give so many excuses for her not ageing. Botox, plastic surgery, expensive facials, new makeup routine. Hell eventually you could dye your hair gray. But they went straight to, I can NEVER see them again but also they know I'm still alive so they will be confused and heartbroken their only child never sees them anymore.
In the book becoming a vampire changes the way they look so much people who knew them from when they were humans don't recognize them anymore, in fact at the time the movies were coming out it was speculated a different actress might take over to play Bella after she was turned
your right ... they couldn't use masks? they are fantastically wealthy!
@@TabbyeLynne Of all of the things to leave out, why a super important detail that actually adds to the plot and gives reasoning for something really dumb?
“Who invited jeffree star and his friends from warped tour” i am screeching about this
The dude on the far left was Professor Snape’s doppelgänger! 😂
I Love how Stephenie meyer's pro life agenda was so over the top that it all became a pro choice ad . Like girl , keeping the baby killed you and made a demon baby that broke all your bones and made you into a killer anyway.
I’d say it’s pro choice because, get this, Bella chose to keep the child!
@@henryisthere Yeah all the vampires were kinda being a little forceful with Bella, telling her not to keep it. (And I’m pro-choice myself)
What she did was glorifying abusive relationships, normalizing p3dophiles and grooming... She is awful.
@@henryisthere it's a catch 22 when it comes to choice there tho. If she chooses to die for her child she will be rewarded with eternal life and seen as this wonderful woman who chose to keep the baby when so much pressure was against it. It's not giving choice it's giving a gross morman/christian choice of choosing to keep the pregnancy and die or be a shit person/mom
@@henryisthere she “chose” to keep it bc that’s what the author wanted her to do bc guess what? bella isn’t a real person, she’s a character made by a person who had an agenda to push
One thing Nick didn't touch on was how PISSED the fandom was when the book came out because of what a G-rated nothing the honeymoon night was. People didn't expect full-on erotica, but thought they'd at least get a page or two of purple prose. Instead they went from "pulled me into deeper water" to the next morning of bitten down pillows and bruises. Oh, and then baby time while Edward begins to fade into the background of his own series.
If you go digging you can find Meyer's reaction to the fandom. She was very interactive with her fans during the book and film releases until the praises turned to criticism. Infamously her brother-in-law posted a public letter in her defense which came off super-salty and paternalistic.
PS combination names is absolutely a Mormon thing
This is the juicy juice I wanted from the comments section 🔥
lol i grew up mormon and wasnt allowed to read it at all bc it was too spicy. i wasnt even allowed to read the 3rd book either. 😅
edit: ofc i absolutely snuck into the library at 7am and read the book before school what do u think i am? a monster?
I read this book at like 11 on the playground at Catholic school (amazing how that was allowed) and I thought the fade out was the spiciest thing I'd ever encounter
Portmanteau or?
"The creamy white guy gets the creamy white girl and the natives all get killed" dead Nick 🤣
To be fair, Robert Pattinson was probably being sarcastic about the music. I _love_ his interviews about Twilight, he hated it more than any one else, bless him.
He’s also know for lying in interviews and just talking bs 😂
Rather than knowing him as Edward, i prefer that i know him because Batman or he once played Cedric Diggory

Yet he still took the money and did all the movies. Hr should probably shut up.
@@mammajamma4397 yeah how dare a young actor do work
Jacob really took grooming to the next level.
*pedo
He didnt stephanie meyer did its against jacobs control or choice
Grooming is completely normalized in Mormon culture, so it isn't surprising that Meyer thought she was writing an adorable love story with the grooming plot.
@@cyagami90 Are you implying the author didn't get a fictional character's consent to write a plot point?
@@Mskittenlover12 yes /s
whats hilarious is that i think this movie played a big role in why i turned out to be pro choice cause when she got pregnant i was mad lmfao
I was also absolutely horrified by this entire plotline;I was already pro-choice by the time I was 13 or 14, but boy howdy did that book really hammer it home a year or two later, lol
Made me pro-choice, pro-birth control and pro-science because how tf does the undead have fully active sperm? Like at least eggs can stay viable in dying women but sperm is made daily. Really had my 14 year old brain mad and confused.
Welcome to the women’s body-women’s choice.
When Mean Girls said you'll end up pregnant and die this movie took that literal!
Bella is a Jesus metaphor. She suffered and died, then a couple days later wakes up from the dead as an immortal. And not just an immortal, but a super special one whose more super special than any other immortal.
The whole series is bible fanfic
i was under the impression that bella was a self-insert for stephanie meyer to live out a fantasy, but jesus makes a lot of sense too
@@rachelburns1461 I mean, given Stephanie Meyers religious background, I think it could be both.
They said Jesus was a girlboss (they is me. I said that)
YES FINALLY I SEE SOMEONE ELSE TALKING ABOUT IT
Was the baby Judas
I was struck by something really quite obvious in hindsight when you said "she suffers a moment of labor and then comes back eternal". I jokingly said to myself, "Yeah, just like Jesus. Of course, that's the perfect Christian story". And then I thought about that and I was like, damn, Stephanie Meyer really was out here marketing a pro-life resurrection allegory as a romantic fantasy for young girls. And it REALLY worked.
Oh you can make an argument that being a vampire is being in Mormon heaven, there's a frightening amount of parallels
Oh the whole choosing to die for your unborn child and be rewarded for that with eternal life is definitely a mormon allegory. See in Meyers mind, no love (well maybe except gods love) is more pure than a mothers love, and giving your life is the ultimate love. In other words if you didn't choose to die for your child, you would be the worst of the worst. So it's yet another "choice" where there's an obvious "right" choice but you need to use your free agency to make it or it's not as good. There's alot of these catch 22 like choices in the mormon religion, lots of exmo (ex mormon) content creators go a little more in depth with it
@@unluckyone1655 can you recommend any ex mormon creators who talk about this? i am genuinely so curious to hear more now, like it makes sense but i can’t believe we all just ate these books up as teenagers without thinking about it.
@@unluckyone1655 such a sad thought process. like, no one knows that baby. but the pregnant person has an entire life, friends and family who love and depend on them. what’s a greater loss?
anyone planning for pregnancy, PLEASE get your birth plan in writing. if you’re unable to speak for yourself and it comes down to your life or the baby’s, don’t let anyone make that decision for you.
I don’t remember who posted it but there is a video on interpreting Twilight through the Mormon perspective from someone who grew up in the church and I highly recommend, probably wouldn’t be hard to search for
The most insightful part in this entire series is seeing Charlie slowly turning into an alchoholic off screem according to the director
I don’t get why Bella couldn’t be on top. What possible damage could Edward have caused that way? Do they simply not know it can be done?
You know Mormons only do missionary don’t get crazy now 😂
Plssss😭😭💀💀💀 I’m dead
LMAO not you undoing the whole series by suggesting to them different positions omg🎉
But isn’t being on top is the most painful position for women who have intercourse for the first time?
I think it sounds like something Mormons pastors say about sex to discourage people from getting too crazy in the bedroom. “Anything other than missionary will just hurt you” 🙄🙄🙄
I know there was supposed to be an anti-abortion moral here, but given what keeping the baby did to Bella, I’m getting the exact opposite message.
Exactly 😂 I was like nope when the pregnancy break Bella’s back
Also, Myers favorite boy Edward wanted her to end the pregnancy… so I’m not sure what message she was going for.
I was low-key traumatized when I read the birth scene so the message missed me entirely 😂
This pregnancy reminds me of the main character’s pregnancy in Steven King’s “Dark Tower” series; eating bloody, raw liver a la “Rosemary’s Baby.” Then she gives birth to some crazy, bloody, spider-monster baby!
Yeah, my issue with the pro-life stuff wasn't so much that it happened (keeping your baby bc you want to is also pro-choice), it was that keeping the baby was the only time Bella actually stood up for herself and opposed Edward so the pro-lifeness if it really stood out. Also, in the book I believe Rosalie became a little creepily protective of pregnant Bella.
And the pregnancy almost killed her! It was insane
It wasn’t the only time. He didn’t want her to be a vampire or to have sex with her while she was human. She wanted both of those things and never backed down. She also kept being friends with the werewolves and going to the reservation when she wanted to and he didn’t want her to.
rosalie has a whole lecture thats one of the few actual conversations between her and bella, where she explains that shes mean to bella cuz shes jealous of her being able to have a baby and how a baby is the best thing EVER and she cant pass up this miracle.
I disliked the "it's just a little baby, it's not its fault" conversation, personally. That's what took it from 'weird storyline but would technically work as a pro choice story' to 'oh this is pro life propaganda'.
I think if your life is on the line, while it's still ultimately your choice, you have to consider how your death is going to affect the people around you. What if she was a single mom with kids already and stood to leave them motherless. Like OFC your husband is upset that you're going to let yourself die. Edward's a creepy fuck, but he wasn't totally wrong about this. She was about to make him a widower after like an hour of marriage lol.
Bella breaking her back in this movie is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It's right up there with her tripping and falling in the woods in the beginning of New Moon.
Nick straight up killing it with the jokes. Dropping some bars and following that up with "I love a wedding", 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was stunned silent when they went into the rap lmao
“What if I threw up”🤣🤣
Yass!!
The Prius joke actually had me crying
Naming a baby “Edward Jacob” is wild 😂
Not wilder than naming a child “Albus Severus”.
@@user-tc9ko6gi6j someone should consider revoking the rights to name their own children from YA protagonist
It's so bad, I was actually relieved it was a girl, despite the other option being Renesmee. That's how weird naming your kid after the two boys who fought to get into your panties is. It makes Renesme the lesser of two evils.
@@user-tc9ko6gi6j That was stupid too, especially since Snape was still a bastard and Hagrid got no recognition. Not that I touch the terf books anymore anyway.
@@meghanphillips3495 and imagine how infinitely more rancid the creepy grooming thing would be if your groomer LITERALLY INSPIRED YOUR MIDDLE NAME 🤢
Edit: of course if it had been a boy Meyer wouldn’t have gone that direction. Creepy grooming is okay but probably not GAY creepy grooming
The whole mormon theme made this whole baby debacle make soooo much sense. Cause there is absolutely no way bella was supposed to continue to carry that child. I remember watching this as a kid and being extremely uncomfortable and confused why she would continue to put herself through it... WILD!! Also I love a wedding too nick or atleast the drinking part.
Weddings are good as long as they're pretty chill and not some stuffy church wedding
Yeahh for me my “growing up and realizing why that one part of my favorite book series was so weird” was realizing JK wrote everyone to harass Hermione about S.P.E.W. because JK is pro-slavery 💀
As a kid I was baffled why everyone hated the idea so much, why the author made the acronym… spew… and why Hermione ended up giving up.
@@DeathnoteBB I had never read the books so I didn't know about the racism or anti-Semitism in the books. What is S.P.E.W.?
@@bethanychatman9531 Well I’m not in the best state atm to explain the racism and antisemitism other than the goblins running the bank and being portrayed as selfish a-holes. Oh another racism was Kingsley Shacklebolt’s name. And Cho Chang! But anyway, about S.P.E.W.
SPEW is a book-only subplot late in the series iirc? Maybe mid-late, since late series they’re not even at Hogwarts for a while. It’s basically an anti-slavery campaign Hermione does! She’s trying to free Hogwarts’ house elves and knits them hats. But everyone (even the good guys! Especially the good guys!) are constantly on her case about it, she’s mocked, and even _the house elves_ are written to _enjoy_ being enslaved. They avoid her clothes at all costs and complain about them, stating they don’t want to be free! Eventually she “sees reason” and stops SPEW and gives up. All that was a memorable part of the books for me because I loved SPEW and thought all the other characters suddenly went off the deep end! Turns out it was just the author’s real feelings showing.
It wasn’t even good writing, because she clearly showed the house elves of the world _aren’t_ happy, with Dobby and Kreacher. But there’s no sense in racism.
To be fair I also got married at 18, but that’s only because my partner and I weren’t sure gay marriage was gonna be federally legal forever so we figured we better take the opportunity while we could
My mom went to high school with a couple who got married at 17 and they're still married 50+ years later.
I think marrying early is generally a pretty bad idea, but of course there are exceptions, it doesn't ALWAYS fail
@@kenirainseeker539 Well we had been together for many years at that point so it wasn’t exactly we got married early, it was just we got married young. And we had already been living together working and supporting ourselves for several years because of some unpleasant personal situations. We actually are celebrating our 5 years of marriage next week! I personally think I made the best choices for my life, but my life is way outside the norm and honestly yeah most folks shouldn’t marry quick or young but there’s always gonna be us weirdos and outliers
Being part of the LGBTQ+ community meant that you can choose to not let the societal norm dictate your lives. Congrats on your anniversary!
@@kenirainseeker539 Yeah, I had a friend who got married at 19, and I was like “oh, good”. It’s a long and complicated story, but I thought the marriage was good for her, while for most people, I’d think it was a bad idea to get married so young.
The whole pro life argument was completely lost on 14 year old me watching this movie. I literally didn’t even realize that was the intention until like 3 or 4 years ago rewatching the fetus/baby dialogue and then remembering Stephanie is a Mormon. But when I realized my jaw was on the FLOOR.
I like that there's a moment in the next movie where Bella gets mad at Jacob for nicknaming her daughter "Nessie," as if it isn't a much better name than "Renesme." Child protective services should have been called on Bella just for that name alone.
Is it weird that I genuinely wanted a prequel about Edward's life in 1920s Chicago? A vampire as a vigilante or even the muscle in the Chicago mafia sounds much more intriguing than the main story and that's what infuriates me about Twilight, Meyer can write good backstories for the Cullens but nothing for Bella. Imagine her telling her backstory to someone in 2200: "Well, it all started when I put on my headphones and listened to Good Charlotte"
Stephanie Meyer is Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way confirmed
The way Alice looks and talks in all these movies is so damn unsettling! There's something so unnatural about her that the other vampires don't have.
I think it's because the way the actress chose to convey the "otherworldly" thing the vampires have going on is leaning into more childlike + theatrical mannerisms. I always loved her performance because it's really subtle. Where the other actors tried to channel their (stereotypically) ideas about vampires being dark and brooding into their performances, Alice stands out because the actress understood that just acting threatening isn't enough. There are threatening humans all over the place! All she had to do was not come off as an average person. She's whimsical, springy, and almost pixie like, it all works with the makeup and hair so the end result is something altogether off-putting
and yet she still managed to be the hottest person in the whole series lol
@@An-kw3ec i have to agree with that lmao. So far, Alice and Jasper are kinda the only ones that i can handle so far in this series

In all honesty, Jacob was the one who took "no bra, no panties" to another level this whole series.
"You don't need to lay on top of someone else's wife in front of his dad" is possibly the best sentence I've read in my entire life
"her mangled, naked body; her mangled, naked choice" im dying lmfao
"This baby will rip you open like a Xenomorph"
"A LIFE IS A LIFE"
It's actually appalling to me that her editors even allowed this to be published. The message here is basically that even if you have a doctor telling you that having a child WILL kill you, your obligation as a 'good mother' is to carry to term instead of prioritizing your own life and having an abortion. If anyone in real life decided to follow Bella's example because 'le romance', they don't have a team of magic vampires standing by to save their life. Those women would just die.
Unfortunately, this happens in real life. A lot of women are guilted and shamed and pressured into keeping a fetus that could potentially kill them because it's the more "moral" thing to do. Especially if assault is the reason for the impregnation. It was "God's plan" for it to happen, and therefore, the plan should be followed. I speak from personal experience, and I have seen it happen to a few women.
Even if it results in a miscarriage, and the baby is dead with within the womb, some will still make the woman carry that baby to full term and then give birth. Some women have died from this, as well. And ultimately, it was the way that woman's life was supposed to go because of "the plan".
@@lunabearsong2043 I hate that phrase so much for this very reason. “A plan” is just as plausible as a mistake and we should take things as they come and make decisions with the best information and with the best outcome in mind. Things don’t always happen for a reason, sometimes they just happen and we are responsible for finding a way to deal with them.
The “now I’m a fat house cat” song is from the first Twilight, they dance to it at their prom. Kristen Stewart actually recommended it during the first film. They put it in Breaking Dawn to do like a full circle thing.
I always thought that it would’ve been so much more interesting if Bella actually died from giving birth and the next movie/book would be about Edward being a single dad and about how he loves the kid but also hates it for killing his one true love…
add in the cocktail that the demon child grows unnaturally fast and kind of looks like its mom but 10x more bloodthirsty (and also like. the whole Uncle Wolf Thirsts For It thing) and it could've been a FANTASTIC psychological horror story
meyer really should just write horror tbh. the goddamn pregnancy arc on its own was body horror on crack
@@FeeFiFoFumBalthazar yk when you lay it out like that...it is a bit disturbing. Honestly the whole imprinting thing with Jacob and Renesme (sorry if I butchered her name) was just weird for me, even as a kid I felt like they didn't even need to add that in at all. Now you got me questioning Ms. Stephanie all over again lol
Even as a kid I knew whatever Edward and Bella did throughout the series wouldn't really matter because Meyer just HAD to have that Happily Ever After. Remember the tease of the final battle between Team Cullen Babysavers vs. Team Volturi? Seeing the Cullens die was such a great twist that they trashed because of the marketing appeal.
Nah, dead mom/wife/girlfriend so a man can mope around for the whole movie is an annoying trope. Like jfc find something else they can be sad about instead of killing the women around them. The worst is the dead wife/daughter combo, usually killed so he can be a superhero who avenges them.
Bella's pregnancy makes me think of Darla's in Angel, which, if I remember correctly, *did* result in a vampire-single-dad situation, albeit briefly. (Death/coma seems to be what happens to women who get pregnant in his stuff. 👋)
Nick was SO on point with the jokes yet again.
*Volturi pop up at the altar for no reason* "Oh look, Jeffree Star and his friends from Warped Tour!"
Nick, a great thesis and a great video as ever. Just to note, I'm in favour of abandoning the term 'pro-life'. Being anti-abortion is anti-women's-healthcare, not in favour of women's lives.
Brain dead take
I prefer the term forced pregnancy
Agree! They’re anti-choice
@@Dionysus999 this term is the most realistic, I like it. We also need to stop seeing pregnancy as feasible for any woman to go through, it’s not a cute medical procedure, it’s often life threatening in multiple ways.
@@Dionysus999 i prefer the term “jesus will send me to heaven if i make everyone else’s life hell”
The Iron and Wine song being played at the end of the first Twilight and in the wedding scene has baffled me for years lol. It's a song about realizing how much of a lie the "American Dream" really is and feeling impotent to do anything to stop it from continuing. The line is "big pill" rather than "big bill", the big pill being the "hard pill to swallow" that you were lied to your whole life. It's not even remotely *about* romance. It's usage in these movies is so odd esp given how opposed to Stephanie Meyer's own beliefs Iron and Wine's music is. A lot of his songs (at least from that era) are about losing faith in God and religion and the sadness that often comes during deconstruction.
I mean, if I was pregnant and the doctor told me having the baby would kill me, it would of course hit me hard, but I would choose to end the pregnancy.
I still want to do many things with my life, I have dreams, and if I had a partner, I would of course want to still be with him many more years I guess.
I have an aunt that was in this situation twice, and both times she chose to end the pregnancy. After stop trying, she finally got pregnant (in less dangerous situations) and nowadays has two kids.
I can't get over the fact that Meyer really made us all eat the mormon crap she believes in 😂
Bella are just keeping it because it's edwards baby She ain't thinking of herself in ANY of the books/movies. So do you think that she would listen to the guy who litreally told to her face that he wanted to kill her.. that she would listen to him any other time? Yeah noo
@@Somebody9666 yeah, the girl really had no life of her own.
@@Somebody9666 Though Bella is super co-dependent, I don't think you can really fault her in this case. I think a LOT of mothers would be willing to risk their lives for their unborn child if there was even a chance.
Not saying I agree with Bellas perspective... I don't. BUt I get it.
@@noelbernabe8704 oh no, ALL the faults are on the creator of this "story". This story normalized grooming, pedophiles and romantasized abusive relationships. Watching it all again are really unsetteling... How Bella tells Edward leaving marks and bruises are OK. Bella not having her "freedom" UNTIL she married Edward? There are so many red flags in this saga i feel sick.
I understand wanting to save the life of a child. But that don't make this message better. Pro-life propaganda are so disgusting and props to you if you wanna have the kid! BUT It's when the life of the mother are at danger it all falls apart imo. This are where everyone loses me.. I'm more for adoption but that's because there are so many children deserving of parents. But so many more parents that don't deserve children..
@@Somebody9666 There are a lot of things which bugged me about the Twilight Sage, but like I said earlier the issue of Bella being willing to risk her life to save the life of her child isn't one of them.
For a lot of mothers, I'm sure deciding to end the life of your child is a very very difficult decision. Difficult to the point where I don't think you can credibly fault someone for taking either stance. I think a lot of women would do what Bella did if they were in her position, and I at least wouldn't blame them even if I personally don't agree with the stance.
In the least it was Bellas choice and her decsion was respected. That's fair.
Funny that you bring up succubi because in the twilight universe, they were in fact inspired by the Alaskan girls. Also they are totally swedish, the vampires have wild and deep backstories.
Also Charlie is fully a cop and he is ignoring the multiple blatant signs of domestic abuse. Must be the small town mindset
The whole theology of Mormonism is in these films. Living with your partner forever and ever... sex after marriage.. there's more. My stepgrandmother was in Stephanie Myers church ward. It was unbearable.
Nick is so friggin entertaining that I don't even skip the ads. Take note, sponsors!
Re-watching this movie in my mid-twenties was shocking. The pro-life themes run deep
The amount of times Nick misnamed characters or forgot the names of characters is the best part of this video lol. In the books they're all so detailed but to movie doesn't develop any of side characters, aside from the Cullen family, which makes it hilarious.
EJ was definitely in the book
All characters are awful... why would you wanna remember them lol
i feel like i deserve some royalties from twilight because I'm a pale Native from Washington State and my name is Charley Edward Jacobs. Like ~ duh obviously this whole thing is about me
B r u h 💀
😂
Rosalie "it's a baby!" No, Alice was right it's a fetus.
Not even just a fetus, but a blood thirsty demon fetus
Unless vampires become conscious in the womb or something weird.
@@anti-usernamesaltaccount3623 I guess they do bc of the scene when Edward touched Bella’s belly and was like “the baby likes the sound of our voices” and she was all “you can hear it’s thoughts?!” 💀
@@Makberries sentient womb-vampire alert!!!!!
If you want to continue your pregnancy, then it IS a baby. It was a baby to Bella. You can’t be pro-choice only sometimes; being pro-choice means accepting the pregnant person’s choice whether it be to have an abortion or continue the pregnancy. It’s Bella’s body and it’s Bella’s choice and she made the choice to have the baby despite almost everyone around her being against it. If you’re only pro-choice when the pregnant person is doing what YOU think is right then you’re not pro-choice at all. You can’t have it both ways.
I was working for a non profit when these movies came out and for fundraising events we would do an early release showing of each of the twilight movies in Santa Barbara and i gotta say, these movies might be cheesy but it was so fun to sit in an audience full of fans to watch it! We were GAGGED at the the end when she opens her eyes 😂
Yeah I remember being SO excited lol! It was much more enjoyable watching when younger and ignorant of the underlying bs
@@cheeling794 Yeah, false sense of security? Worst of all when not vegan for example when contributing to why colonialism and all forms of suffering still exists, especially when reincarnating into animals in agriculture, worst of all on this planet?
The way that a Mormon introduced a world of teens to like an abuse kink with the bruising and she’s, like you said, super into doing it again regardless and they make it seem hot and normal
More worried about introducing teens to mormon ideas of fatally self-sacrificing babymaking motherhood honestly
She gloryfied abusive relationships and normalized grooming and pedos..... Hope she burns in her mormon hell
Meyers: We can't dare show our young fans too much of the honeymoon night! 'Tis vulgar! 'Tis blasphemous!
Also Meyers: BREAK THE FUKCING BED AND BELLA IN THE PROCESS! NO THATS NOT ENOUGH, LITERALLY BLOW HER BACK OUT VIA A KILLER DEMON BABY!
What on earth is an abuse kink... Isn't that just regular bdsm or painplay? Which are fairly normal?
@@mostlyharmless6x9 no
I thought it was weird how they didn't even think of birth control - like, Eddie's been around 100 years, he has to know about condoms. Lol. Of course with Steph being mormon, it makes sense.
IIRC they didn’t think it was possible bc Eddy is vamp boy and vampires are sterile according to ~her lore~. It’s still bad tho.
@@nightlyre198 hey hey, not STERILE. that would still leave the possibility for this to make sense, since people thought to be sterile can still sometimes have kids by rare chance. eddie and the fang fellowship are *dead*, that is, according to meyer they are like inert dead things who cannot create life. guess bella just got the gushy so good it literally makes a dead man cum 😩
@@Saibellus Sterility is the inability to conceive a child (i.e.: not being able to reproduce at all for whatever reason - anatomical (lack of gonads, for example) or medical like the SNIP SNIP.) Infertility is the inability to conceive a child after one year of going at it. It doesn't mean you can't have offspring, it just means you're gonna have a very hard time reproducing. Vamp family should be sterile, not infertile, because dead things can't (or shouldn't be able to?) reproduce under any circumstance. tl;dr: sterility =/= infertility.
I'm watching this at the brunch place I go to when I pretend to go to church on Sundays, and I keep choking on my cocktail
This sounds like such a power move lmao
@@beth4928 or it's a “I'm too scared to tell my mother i’m agnostic even though i’m over 25” move
My grandmother was atheist/agnostic (didn't really know which, she just didn't like religion) it was nice going to sunday brunch with her and swimming in an indoor pool instead of spending it in church lol. People would ask "you going to church?" and we were like nah fam we goin in the pool B)
Watching you break down this series is healing the 13y/o girl in me who once thought this relationship and story was the "unattainable dream" I've always wanted. But no honey this is creepy and here's why
Reading breaking Dawn as a teenager is what made me realize the twilight books sucked. I was on a family camping trip with my friend who was also reading them and I was trying not to visibly look disappointed and annoyed because she was waiting to read the book after me once I finished it
Hope you burned them so no one has to torture themselfs in the future.
Yup. To this day I only have a copy of the first book cause it's so nostalgic and moody. The other ones don't exist
Ahh. Homeward Bound. The greatest cinematic masterpiece that’s ever been. Definitely a staple of my Blockbuster rentals as a child. That should be on clip breakdown for sure.
Seconded. I need to hear Nick’s commentary on Sassy and Chance 😂
I cant tell if this is sarcasm or not
Yes!!! I watched it so much! The original one too!
It's not
I was obsessed with him getting porcupine stabbed as a kid.
Bella’s dream wedding dress is *way* prettier than her “real” dress…also the bruises/physical pain crap has been criticized for being very creepy abuser apologetics (“he just reeeaaallly loves you so it’s okay that he causes massive bruises and breaks your bones” yikes)
The turn this decidedly fantasy romance took with the body horror of Bella's pregnancy was startling to say the least to 15 year old me. The movie, while keeping a lot of the details from the pregnancy in the book, felt like it was trying to overwrite the pro-life message by making it as scary as possible without getting an R rating. Even with the pregnancy section being told from Jacob's perspective in the book, there was still great pains taken to ensure that Bella was always painted as self-sacrificing and noble and amazing for going through the body horror just to ensure her baby survived. Without that, the movie felt like it was trying to send the opposite message without being too direct lol
What I hate the most is that if someone truly internalized that message they don’t get to live as an undead, they just deprive a child of a mother due to selfish convictions
"Grabbing onto her arm skin" made me snort my tea up my nose. 🤣
Just got done with Mike's mic twilight series
Excited for this one
You're both so funny
Seriously! they have such different yet seemingly complimentary comedic styles that I think they'd be the perfect duo to collab on a rifftrax-esque commentary of this absoluteshitkebab of a series
Do Luke Alexander next. The trifecta
The Cosmonaut Variety Hour Twilight series is also worth a watch!
omg we stan mike's mic
Why did I read this as "Magic Mike" at first, but still correctly pictured our king Michael Microphone whilst skimming? His impact.
Nick, I read this book like 20 times in middle school...more than any of the other twilight books. it was my favorite so to see this review is definitely a trip. I will say that you do actually switch to Jacob's perspective for a good chunk of the Breaking Dawn book and it makes a lot more sense in the book! also glad you called out the racism because its very important to point out!
oh? it makes sense? How? Jacob are no better than Edward. After Bella plain right says 'I am NOT in love with you' he just chooses NOT to listen? To what SHE wants? Sounds like a sane guy... also hith him having the "hots" for a child and planing to date/marry her when she is "older"? Those "books" are garbage. Hopefully you save future children from them and these "movies". I would recomend watching cinema therapy's playlist about this saga.
@@Somebody9666 lmao I never said I still like or read the books they are garbage propaganda for racism.. I was just saying I have a memory from these books and from what I remember I thought the Jacob thing made sense. never said I agreed with any of it
@@darcysheltman3129 Sorry for the rant. I didn't meant to imply you agreed with this bonkers story x( Guess you can tell this topic easly boils my blood..😣

Hahah when I was editing I was like oops 😂
15:57 "Bella's dad walks her down the aisle and the two kiss."
Nick! Phrasing!!
Ok, but I love Flightless Bird! And it's only in the soundtrack because Kristen found the album in a bag on set during the first movie or something lol.
Yes I watched her commentary feature on the first DVD...
Yeah, I think she was just really into indie music and suggested the song for the movie. I wouldn't be surprised if Rob Pattinson called the soundtrack "ahead of its time" to try and compliment her.
He sang songs for the soundtrack of the original film.
@@Aelffwynn his voice is lovely in those songs too. the soundtrack is probably the strongest part of this franchise lolol
Say what you want about the movies but the soundtracks are solid!
Iron and Wine does amazing music. That soundtrack is the best part of the movie.
I get it stuck in my head to this day. I even sing it to my parrot sometimes because he came to me flightless.
As a Creepy Painting Enthusiast (though admittedly not an art historian some of this might be wrong) I did recognize some of those classic paintings that, as Nick said, have nothing to do with vampire children
1. i don't actually know this one but it looks neat
2. That's Nachtmar (Nightmare) by Henry Fuseli. Well, it's actually one of multiple versions that Fuseli made because the first one was so popular. It depicts a kind of demon thing called an Alp that sits on people's chests while they're sleeping and gives them nightmares (multiple cultures have a creature like this, it's thought to be an explanation for sleep paralysis); the horse in the background is a literal "night-mare".
3. idk this one either
4. This is one of multiple engravings by Theodore de Bry depicting the Tupinamba people of Brazil, based on some German guy's highly questionable accounts of them practicing ceremonial cannibalism. Supposedly these engraving were popular enough that they helped spread the stereotype of indigenous cannibals across Europe. Best case scenario the filmmakers didn't know this and just went "oh that's creepy", but even then it's a failure to do research that manages to squeeze just a bit more anti-indigenous racism into this franchise. Lovely.
5. This one is Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, a famous ukiyo-e piece often retroactively associated with the Gashadokuro myth. It depicts a princess (who actually existed but probably wasn't a witch) summoning a skeleton spectre (as the name suggests) to scare off a guy creeping around her castle in search of allies of her insurrectionist father. Rad.
6. This is a close-up of what I have to assume is either a Hieronymus Bosch painting or someone trying to imitate him. Shout-out to that guy shitting coins into a well.
7. i dont know what this is but those people look like they're really enjoying being eaten by that demon, good for them
8. Oh, that's Francisco Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son! It's probably the most famous of Goya's 14 "Black Paintings" that he painted on the walls of his house late in his life. He was, uh, going through it, as they say.
9. This is the *original* version of the Nachtmar painting from earlier.
My best friend bought a Cameo from you as my Christmas present and you congratulated me on my pregnancy and told us how surreal it is that people sit down at the end of a work day and watch your videos to wind down, I just wanted to say - I watch that Cameo often and as silly as it seems to say, it’s pulled me out of some really heavy emotions (pregnancy hormones) and I was just so pleased to hear everything you had to say, you went way off script in the best way possible and I just love all of your content so much, it feels like sitting down with a friend. Just wanted to thank you for being such a doll and keeping me company through this emotionally tumultuous time. For any viewers reading this, if you’re debating buying a Cameo, DO IT! Nick never falls short.
"and according to classic paintings, that have nothing to do with that... It's bad." I love love love the way your brain works 😂
15:56 the way you phrased this made me have to look at the screen to make sure Bella wasn’t kissing her dad 😂😂
Oh my god I'm glad it wasn't just me!! 😂😂😂
CHARLIE LETS GOOOO
Okay, so Luke Alexander did a phenomenal breakdown but MAMA! I've been anticipating yours!!
I love all the TH-camr doin the twilight movies I never seen one of them but now I know the whole saga ahaha
Also, if she’s that far along in her pregnancy in just a couple weeks, imagine the stretch marks! 😳🤣
She was pregnant for like 27/28 days! from conception to the birth of Rancid Ravioli was less than a month 🥲💀
@@Jasmin-rb2ob Rancid Ravioli 😭
@@Jasmin-rb2ob That's a damn Sims pregnancy 😭
I have a joint degree in anthropology and gender and sexuality studies, I read "There Is No Manual" last year, and I watch Mama Doctor Jones here on TH-cam, so I know a good bit about what pregnancy does to the human body. Trying to imagine what someone would go through if all that crazy shit happened over only 1mo is making me queasy. Bones shifting, organs compressing, hormones fluctuating wildly ...
Love that Bella names her baby, the baby she was willing to die for, after her and Edwards mothers, who she adores so much, and we don't get a reaction from either of them
Now I want to write a play just to cast Nick. Unproblematic QUEEN
Ok it's been 2 months, sir... I'm dying for your sarcastic take on part deux, lol
What if that guy in the movie theatre that Edward murdered was just having intrusive thoughts?

It's not only anti-choice, but it was even so in an instance where the pregnancy posed a risk to the mother's life. 😬If you want to be horrified, Meyer also elaborated on the mechanics of vampire s*x and erect*ons and it is WILD. All the anti-choice tropes like "it's not the baby's fault" are in there. This movie/book is pure body horror, honestly. It's also troubling that marriage and a child "cured" Edward's abuse. Women and children don't "cure" broken men. Anyone who thinks they can change an abuser with a wedding or baby should think otherwise.
The only good thing about this movie: that brief moment in the reception where two of the characters danced like they were in A Charlie Brown Christmas.
The only good thing about these "movies" are that they ended.
@@Somebody9666 Unfortunately for us, Twilight and Bayformers still exist. And their fans have way too much cultural influence.
I feel like actually showing Edward biting into Bella's stomach would either look goofy as hell or would earn this movie a very traumatizing R rating.
One of the worst arguments in this movie is how Jacob imprints on her daughter, and he says that it was always her daughter that he was drawn to and that was why he liked Bella. But that makes no sense, because she had JUST gotten pregnant, and even if the argument was about the egg, there's a new one each month. So there was nothing attaching Jacob to Bella before like he claims. (Unless that's what the author believes and she doesn't understand how periods work 😬)
A woman is born with all of the eggs she’ll ever have. Periods are shedding the uterine lining along with usually one egg that’s released from the ovaries. So the egg was always there but it’s still pretty flimsy to say he was drawn to an unmatured egg rather than the very normal thing of having a crush on a longtime friend lol.
@@byabcz A collective of eggs vs the one in place every month. It's just... bizarre. XD
At 6:05 Amanda the Jedi had to pause because she was cheering too loud to hear the video. Don’t worry Nick, I’m sure she can send you an exhaustive list of Bella x Alice fanfic!
Nick DiRamio’s Twilight clip breakdowns reminding me how both of Bella’s relationships with Edward and Jacob were absolutely toxic💀 I hate how romanticized it all is when both men were always pissed at Bella for having feelings and wanting to make her own decisions??
🤣 The scene with the voice over talking wolves sounds EXACTLY like the villain in ANY 80's cartoon! I was listening while I left the room for a minute and when I heard it I flashed back to being 8 watching Transformers with my brother!
I admit as a wolf enthusiast, I like just seeing the CGI wolves doing stuff. That's pretty much the only compliment I can afford this movie though
"And if its a girls SP... Salt N' Peppa" HAHAHHAHA Why is this actually better than the name she chose though 💀

I realized while watching this that Edward’s reaction to Bella wanting to keep the baby thus letting herself die reflects the way Heathcliff speaks to Cathy in their final scene together.

I believe those monologues on the beginning of each twilight movies was inspired by the TV show Criminal minds, that would have some of the characters reading literary quotes on the beginning and on the end pertaining to the general theme of the episode. It was seeing as something very classy and intelligent. However the tv show used very well quotes selection from really good acclaimed literature pieces of various types as such poems, book excerpts and including religious and gnostic quotes from old and new religion, as well as quotes from real life criminal like Ilene Uorus, Jeffrey Dahmer etc. The Twilight fails miserably in trying to copy the style because the choice of the quotes as well as the delivery of it is monotone done by one character that seems doesn't give a damn.
Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention that as a Brazilian, I'm tired of the same thing, the same scenarios, is always Rio De Janeiro, Carnaval, samba and for some reason an Amazon Forrest, including in places that it shouldn't have and we are portrayed always as some poor barefoot Xaman vood-doo-Santeria healer with some cheese Xman type of power, brewing some stink hallucinogen tea, or the good old favela tug with ties with the Narco trafico or some whore with skimpy clothing, with a unrealistic body type and we are all same color, same hair, same eyes. Never mind the vast and one of the biggest ecosystems on Earth, from Arid desert, to tropical forest, Urban centers, coastal shores with dunes and Mountain terrain. Nope Brazil is only a big favela in the middle of the Jungle, where we trafic cocaine and have a pet monkey while we samba all day half naked. 😩🤬This lady couldn't just Google about Brazil?

these films started coming out right around when i started middle school and i wanted to read the books before i saw each movie. i did get a copy of breaking dawn but it was swiftly taken away after my mom heard it was a bit too adult for an 11 year old. by the time the last two films were being released i had pretty much moved on. anyway i’m very glad i missed out on these
