- 2021 has seen the continuation of an unexpected resurgence of Twilight fans, and after exploring the history of the fandom, its subsequent backlash, and its surprising renewal, I have only one question: is she even Italian?

Movie or show? Or both?
I heard about that movie! I’ve been recommended it a couple of times, I really need to check it out lol
@@MrBritishNinja i was thinking of the show but the movie fucking slaps too
@@MrBritishNinja yes
Way ahead of ya
If Twilight was released in 2021 it'd probably be called like A Flight of Blood and Apples or some shit
This made me snort. I've never even read/watched/cared about Twilight but this is hillarous.
twilight in 2021 is just a sarah j maas novel
sarah j maas strikes again
once i was trying to come up with a cool title for a book and all i thought of was "a court of fire and fury" or something like that and i was like DAMN that sounds cool!! next day i went to the library and *there it was* . curse you sarah j maas
I mean every YA book in 2020 is "A ___ of _____ and _____"
the fact that harry potter fans and twilight fans fought and robert pattinson was collecting his checks from both franchises makes me so happy lmao
I remember my older sister was a potterhead during the Twilight craze and she has told me many tales of the battles she had to fight against twihards claiming Twilight was better
And now he’s Batman
Lol as a fan of both I would say that Harry Potter is better but I like Stephanie Meyer more than jk Rowling
@@Papaya16 I think everyone likes Stephane more than jkr
I enjoy that Pattinson used the money from the shows to just dive into deeply weird indie stuff, and ended up with enough credit across the industry to just do whatever the hell he wants.
"lost to time"
uh huh
Mhm
How lovely to see you here Ms Menace 💜
I love how you're in every comment section lol
Seeing you pop upbin the comments is like "aight, this channel is Lindsay approved, let's check out some more content" lol
MENACE
Hey, at least Awoken by Serra Elinsen got namedropped. Feel proud.
Edward saying "I'm a killer, Bella!" and just drawing a gun and shooting the first random background character he sees would be a legitimately hilarious kind of non-sequitur in a parody. Too bad they had to ruin it by forcing a nonsensical reference into it.
Oh that's hilarious!
I think it would be funnier if he says it, shoots a gun, and someone offscreen just says “ow” and there’s a thud noise. Way simpler, still dark comedy.
They actually have that exact scene in the movie vampires suck......a parody of twilight....
Sarah Z is like if Tumblr was a person but grew up and was low key embarrassed by their teenage obsessions but still has a vast array of extremely specific knowledge that’s gotta go somewhere
That's literally her backstory though
so. like. a typical tumblr user.
So elder tumblr users.
first video i've watched in this channel. this description is uncanny in how accurate it is.
@@TheManWithTheFlan the Elder Tumblr...ages ago, the Elder Tumblr laid waste to our lands, he burnt our crops & assaulted our daughters. He judged our favorite fandoms & burnt all the ships in the Harbor of Love...it was a massacre! We must band together to defeat the Elder Tumblr once & for all heroes!

"Does she even like Italian?"
"Her name is Bella"
Most underrated interaction in the whole series
Agreed. Shit made me laugh rewatching it as an adult.
I thought the line was, "is she even italian" but this line makes much more sense
"does he even like guns?"
"his name is billybob"
@@Mngalahad does he even marry his cousin, his name is billybob
"do you even like money?"
"My name is Bill"
Twilight was actually a vital step in cracking an Egg. My best friend in 08 was like "You're not man enough to read it" He was right, I read them and am a girl now.
I absolutely love this comment
Lmfao I love that for you 😍
I’m sorry you weren’t man enough for twilight bro. It’s okay, not everyone can handle it without becoming a woman
@@johnjones2275 cope
Funnily enough, this book was my first step into being able to talk to girls. I was always shy around them and couldn’t form a complete sentence. I had a girlfriend at the time and we broke up because I was too shy. I sat down, read the entire series, and not only did it get me over the relationship not working, it also allowed me to have something to talk about with girls and broke all the shyness.
Also, I am also now transitioning to being a girl. So maybe it was Twilight
“You nicknamed my daughter afTER THE LOCH NESS MONSTER???”
Best line ever ababababbaba
Iconic
her line delivery was so wonderfully gay honestly
I had to pause the video to laugh for a solid minute there-
And they dare to say Kristen can't act 🤡
Oh my god, "I don't really like the rain" and "I don't like sand" should kiss.
their child is "i am weird. i am a weirdo"
oh I don't know about that, things get muddy with shipping
And the "better love story than Twilight" has come full circle.
I ship it.
@@ravenjoker254 great pun
Kristin Stewart’s “you nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness monster” line delivery is unironically fantastic imo
I know right you’d think “how could someone make that line work” and she kinda did!
@@anava7030 tbh I kinda imagine her saying it in a deadly calm tone. Like for an example: “so you named my daughter (pauses for a sec before looking up a Jacob and raises a brow) after the Loch Ness monster?” It was pure silent as he was at a lost of words until She let’s out a dry chuckle that Jacob soon follow up with his own but came out as an awkward and weak. He went to scratch the back of his head and gain the courage to attempted to explain himself again but Bella only respond with a smile that seemed to fool Jacob just for a sec before she immediately dropped her smile and rocked his ass out straight out of the woods.
Yea I know it’s kinda cringy but I think it would have made her look kinda bad ass 😂😂
I have a love hate relationship with it
That line is literally one of the few memories I have of playing games on my computer while my mom watched twilight in the background in like 2015 and honestly just being confused
She delivered it as well as one can deliver a line that sounds like something I would have written when I was 14.
The meme about Twilight is that “Everyone in Twilight is far more interesting than Edward and Bella.”
I’m not arguing, you have a literal corpse bride, a doctor who ignored his bloodlust to take care of his patients and a girl that can literally see into the future.
I never liked Twilight, but I feel robbed because we could’ve had such an interesting book if Meyer would’ve focused on these characters
And then we got Emmet. He's there
reading the first book, there were a lot of cool moments I loved. I constantly went "now if he wasnt so creepy....". I do think there's some cool lore in that series
Not to mention Jasper, a Confederate General who was changed to run a newborn vampire army sweeping across the South, who can feel and control emotions, and who gave up his entire life at the drop of a hat to become a vampire-vegan when an eccentric petite psychic just showed up one day and told him that she was his future if he just followed her wherever she went.
His story, Alice's story, Rosalie's story, Carlisle's story, those are all way, way more interesting and worth exploring in depth.
@@ndawn90...and Emmet's still there. Dunno if we should follow the ex Confederate though
I feel like a better way for Twilight to have been done would have been to do the first book, and then the rest of the books were "spin-offs" about the other characters and their respective relationships. It's something I've kinda always thought. 😆
Also I just discovered that the “team Peeta” thing meant who we wanted Katniss to end up with 😀
Bro I thought we meant our favorite character I’ve been proudly saying “team haymitch” for years fucc
LOL
This comment deserves a gold star.
Ouch
Ah yes I was Team Haymitch too and now ironically have a crush on Woody Harrelson
@@jamilabrownie I was team Finnick (but like to be with the sugar cube lol)
Twilight was so harmful to young women, like an entire generation of girls just missed out on Garlic Bread? I will never forgive meyer for that.
as an asexual i feel the need to contact my representative in congress and complain
I first saw it at a very going age and barely remember it and I'm still in love with those movies after rewatching them through the years lol
Garlic bread is my favorite food. I could honestly eat it for every meal. Or just eat it all the time without even stopping
@@ILikedGooglePlus you’d get fat
@@boldandbrash9170 No, why would I get fat?
Why are they saying they’d “even” date Neville Longbottom like he’s the inferior choice when they put TOM RIDDLE on their list of hot people???
i was listening to this in my car and after hearing that i yelled, 'WHY IS NEVILLE THE LESSER CHOICE HERE??' because i was so baffled
Listen, I wouldn’t date Tom Riddle but if you put him on a marry, fuck, kill game... I’m not killing him either. Neville IS husband material, but he doesn’t have that spice? Tom Riddle is ✨spicy✨
I think it’s because they’re going purely off what’s conventionally attractive, but that’s fucking stupid
@@rascal342 i mean, he would be toxic afff
@LoafOf Milk How tf you make the conversation go from Harry Potter to Nazis?!
A movie starring modern-day Robert Pattinson, Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood would be totally bonkers and needs to exist.
Tenet, “Swiss army man” and “ come to daddy” working together? Sure why not.
PLEASE GOD
And it needs to be a crack comedy. The more bonkers the better.
And it needs to be a bank heist
Don't forget Tobey Maguire
My mom is STILL a twilight mom. I cannot even fathom how much fanfiction she has read in 13 years. We have an Edward cardboard cutout in the living room :(
Hahahaha I'm just imaging how creepy that is - getting up at midnight to have a glass of water and BAM Edward Cullen giving you 'fuck me' eyes in the dark
Holy shit
This has to be one of the wildest comments i have ever seen
My friend's Legolas cutout used to startle me on a regular basis, I prefer that though 😅
Yo, so like, are u okay?
"I'm sorry. Not because I was wrong but because I was lame" earns a solid S rank on the apology tier list.
“i didn’t know how to express my opinions in the correctly savage way and for that i apologize”
The fact that Chris Brown is only #20 on that list of "Most Hated Celebrities" makes me viscerally angry.
Him and Mel Gibson are on the top of my list of hated celebrities! Can't stand pathetic men who abuse women.
It’s cause he’s so irrelevant
@@chonk3867 yea and also cos he’s a man and people expect way less decency from them

Stephanie Meyer: I love both Jacob and Edward equally 😩
Also Stephanie Meyer: writes native people in extremely offensive and incorrect ways, makes all of her native characters 'have' to cut their hair, makes the native tribe all monsters that normally can't control their 'savage nature' 🙃
Stephanie Meyer: “Also I made Jacob fall in love with a literal baby just to conveniently eject him from the love triangle LOL but I love Edward and Jacob equally”
@@charleshawtrey5636 sir I'm not trying to get into an argument with you over my culture, as an indigenous individual. The way Stephanie Meyer portrayed indigenous and native characters was wrong. If you're so sure of these facts I'd love to see your sources, as I'd assume you have a long list of them to feel it necessary to correct me in the comments of a TH-cam video about Twilight of all things.
@@sarahotterson5151 Annnnd he deleted his comment. Guess you can say he ran with his tail tucked between his legs
@@gem9535 Dammit! I was ready for a juicy back and forth...guess not. Oh well
Both are probably true. You can be ignorant without malicious intent, so it's completely likely that she does love Jacob and simply doesn't realize the horrible writing decisions she put into him. Not that ignorance is an excuse, but it doesn't mean she secretly hates Jacob and is intentionally employing offensive writing in the way he is written, but rather simply writing things she simply didn't stop for five seconds to think critically about the implications of. Just because it's offensive, doesn't mean it's malicious.
“Still a better love story than twilight”
WAR FLASHBACKS
I used to say it so much and I had never even seen/read twilight lmao (also, same name!!!!)

I can't understand people saying that Kristen Stewart 'can't act' when she shouted "You nicknamed my daughter after the loch ness monster?!'" with such genuine fury and without laughing at all. Like cmon, that alone takes skill lol
edit: thanks for all the likes lol I just wanna take this moment to thank Kristen Stewart for being part of my gay awakening 💜
It takes true talent to not laugh at something so stupid.
😂
She’s good in some other movies... just not in most of the Twilight movies, imo. It seems like almost everyone who worked on it just HATED working on it, especially Robert Pattinson.
She's said in an interview that she tried to put emotion in and the director just kept telling her to tone it down so she ended up doing the most bland, emotionless acting she could and that's what the director loved.
The fault was more on the director to be fair
I feel like a LOT of future commentary on culture is going to have "And then 2020 happened" as a focal point.
Or not. Remember 2016? And how people said it was the worst year ever? Well now a lot people very forgot about all the bad things that happened in 2016, and are nostalgic for 2016.
@@kittykittybangbang9367 yeah but covid
@@kittykittybangbang9367 I’ve def seen nostalgia for 2016 but every time I have I’ve also seen a lot of ppl being like “wtf r u talking ab 2016 fucking sucked”. So I think generally people haven’t forgotten the negative aspects of that year so much as people are just desperate to return to ANY point in time pre-pandemic. There’s also something to be said ab 2016 being one of the last years there was any actual sense of normalcy. Like, everything since then has been a downward spiral. That being said, 2016 was awful and I’d elect 2015 as being the last year things felt relatively normal before 2016 kicked off the spiral towards the abyss. It is weird though how much nostalgia can make people blind towards the negative elements of whatever it is they’re nostalgic for.

vampires have always been at least a bit gay. you're telling me they live forever but don't experiment a little?
Agree, there is few thing more heterosexual looking than Twilight
@@galacsinhajto Twilight is one of the most heterosexual franchises I've ever seen
@@laurenc5306 Twilight is so straight that Bella births a female partner for Jacob so that he won't end the series without a girlfriend.
I always thought the comments like "vampires in Twilight can be killed easily by X from other franchise" were weird, because my main issue with the book back in the days, when I read it the first time, is that the vampires are presented as totally cheated. They litteraly have no weakness, even the sun is harmless to them, so I was just like "what's the point" lol.
Yeah they're too overpowered. Vampires in other series have strengths but plenty of weaknesses to balance them out. Twilight's can only die from being ripped apart and set on fire.
@@Xehanort10 Most vampire weaknesses are kinda dumb though lol
yeah, one of the reasons I love the vampire lore of The Vampire Diaries. Now, this show does like to undermine itself and loophole itself, but there are some (cool to me) set rules about what kills vampires.

underrated comment
I’m Indigenous and while I was getting my very first tattoo the artist asked me what my ethnicity was and when I told him he was like ah yes like the twilight wolves and I wanted to die inside like okay that moment in my life is just gonna be on my skin for the rest of my life lol
I think it’s werid that the twilight wolves were what first came to mind. maybe he was trying to be funny •
Oh no! My kids'caregiver is Quillute. I found this out by asking about her tattoo. I believe my comment was something like "bummer about Twilight," which she rolled her eyes about with some grace... Our local museum (Seattle) I think commissioned or at least displayed a video project with an artist interviewing teenage Quillutes about their feelings about Twilight. I remember this one kid who looked to be about 16 telling the camera, "we don't turn into wolves, but we are descended from them..." I unironically loved that. Way to own your myths dude. I could tell our caregiver had some complicated feelings, but she didn't seem too keen to get into it at the time. I respect her privacy, but I was curious, and it's certainly a phenomenon. Bummer about your tattoo memory, I suppose it could be worse? Sorry to ramble at you...
Funny because I remember hearing that Twilight was racist against Native Americans or something

this video gave me VIVID flashbacks to high school; specifically, I carpooled with a friend who had a certified Twilight Mom; pretty much every day for 3 years, we listened to the Twilight soundtrack on the way to school. I can't emphasize that enough: Every. Single. (school) Day.
...I could still probably list all the songs on it if I tried
Ayyy It's Red Bard, I watch your videos
My mother was also a huge fan and likewise always had the soundtrack running in her car. To this day just the thought of hearing Thousand Years again makes me shiver in revulsion - I very quickly learned to hate that song.
I had a certified Twilight Grandma. It honestly might be part of why I distanced myself from Twilight as quickly as I did in high school.
At least the soundtrack was pretty hot tbh. But I'm sure hearing over and over might be a little maddening. At least put the soundtrack on shuffle lol
Can’t wait for the next crossover!
Excuse me but "hold on toght spider-monkey" is ACTUALLY the parallel to Anakins "I dont like sand" monologue.
Dont diss I dont like sand like that.
But does it have a payoff that nobody notices? The payoff for the "I don't like sand" line is Anakin picking up a handful of sand and gripping it tightly after learning his mom died. It's weird
I’m pretty sure it’s Bella complaining about the rain and not liking any cold, wet thing.
@@Gloomdrake Not really. People hate the sand line because it’s the catalyst to Anakin and Padme initially consummating their relationship. The spider monkey line is just a memeable line from a character-building scene, not something integral to the plot.
I want to point out imprinting is not portrayed accurately in the series; imprinting is what baby animals do when they open their eyes and see their caretaker for the first time. It's why ducklings follow their mothers around or why you have stories about farm animals befriending farmers who raised them, because they see them as their mother.
So having it the other way around is....yah it's creepy.
Yeah it is. She admitted she just straight up ripped off the term because she wanted something to explain the immediate and long lasting connection.
IMHO: The Pern series by Anne McCaffrey did a really good job representing imprinting well ... but that was dragons fresh born, imprinting on their person/caretaker
aww thats so much sweeter and more wholesome :’D

The WHIPLASH
your youtube channel is like this little corner of the world that i feel all cuddly and warm in
I think the secret ingredient is Canada. The amount of really nice channels from Canada is surreal.
I think it's also pretty unfair that people blamed kristen steward for not portraying bella with more personality because she was basically given an impossible task. The books are written in first person from bellas perspective and she is constantly telling us via the narration what she thinks and how she reacts, but obviously that doesn't translate very well to a movie.
exactly! also i feel like she and jennifer lawrence were both unfairly criticized for accurately acting like their characters do in their books. both bella and katniss were described as quiet and expressing their emotions inwards, which just doesn't translate on a screen.
@@tss5320 I don't remember about Twilight, but a key part of Katniss' character in the books is that she doesn't have the charisma to persuade the in-universe audience to like her, and that we only like her because we're in her head. This is why they do the whole fake relationship with Peeta, but that isn't portrayed very well on film. People call her a poorly acted/written character, but really the character is just a better fit for a medium that lets us read her thoughts.
Kristen Stewart is one of those actors who is good in very specific circumstances, I also remember they tried to do a twilight/action girl thing again in that huntsman movie? yeah that’s not her vibe
@@tss5320 I thought Jennfier Lawrence did an excellent job in that movie and was sad to find out other people didn’t feel the same way.

When I first heard about the whole "imprinting on a baby" thing I thought "Oh cute, like how ducklings can imprint on a human and thing they are their mom but reverse, he will protect the baby like how own child". Because that's the only context I've heard imprinting being used.
This is what I hated most about twilight, by far. And no one else cares they’re like “oh haha yeah” SHES LIKE A YEAR OLD DOES NO ONE ELSE SEE THE ISSUE
@@somnodaur8064 god, ikr that was hella fucked up. There's also the fact that Edward was basically abusive to Bella
@@somnodaur8064 yeah I really like twilight but Jacob imprinting on reneseme is disturbing. I wish Meyers hadn’t done that
also her conveniently aging up so quickly that she would be jacobs age at the end of the movie was a... choice 😃
To be fair, that's kind of how it was explained.....but with the gross implication that it would likely change into a romantic relationship when she was "old enough," which since she grew up fast, was probably around the real-time age of 7. And this was treated as a valid excuse for why it's okay. So basically the conversation went like, "You just fell in love with my infant????? Gross! Get away from her!" "Noooo it's fine, I'm not love with her! ....yet. Might happen later, up to her." "Oh okay I can deal with that, but you're on thin ice." Not really as valid of a defense as Meyer probably thought it was.
Hating Twilight when you were 12 and then realizing that you did it just for bandwagoning and feel cool is an important character arc
No they didn't. Literally the only people who say things are only hated to jump on a bandwagon and because they think it's cool to hate it are said series's obsessed fans.
@@Xehanort10 🤡
Finding out there are actual reasons to not like Twilight outside of your friends telling you to in the end of that character arc.
I distinctly remember reading twilight in high school and coming to the conclusion that it was "ok"
then again twilight's lore has taken up way more real estate in my head than is reasonable.... maybe stephanie mayer knew more about vampire enthrallment lore than she let on
Never liked Twilight even to this day tbh.
“Vampires Suck” is a bad movie but some of the jokes still get me-like Bella getting out of the car with a giant cactus. Idk why but that moment was iconic.
agreed tbh. that was a genuinely funny visual gag and the only part of the movie that made me laugh
Also that moment where a rabid Twilight fan kill Edward while boasting “Team Jacob, bitch.” Then Bella going full on new born and attack this girl. 🤣
That's the only scene I can remember because it was GOLD
Just reading about the scene made me laugh
i havent seen twilight or the parody film in a while and will get them confused in my head? remember being genuinely surprised when i did rewatch twilight and it had stuff like the dads playfighting in the bg or bella accidentally smacking her car door into jacob. i also have a combined playlist for the sdtks of all the twilight saga movies plus vampires suck and don't question tracks like "my panties" until the lyrics hit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ good times
Hot take: Alice Cullen’s wigs got better as the movies go on. That pixie in the final movies was incredibly cute.
Ok but please relax because you seem a little TOO EXCITED about it, please take a cold shower
@@JamesChessman are you okay?
Let’s agree to disagree there, but Alice was consistently pretty adorable
The last time I was this early, Toby only had one account
Oh that's never happened
Damn
@@SarahZ I actually thought this vid would be two hours, lol
by the way do you know that new tara alts were found last week?
i’m so friggin happy i get this it’s so funny
Ah, I was an extra in Vampires Suck! I was 19 at the time, and one of the many randos in a red cape during the Volturi "prom" scene, and spent 3 long days on set, one of which was almost solely dedicated to learning the choreography for & then filming the Hustle for a 5-second joke. Terrible movie, but a memorable experience for sure.
Amazing
Omg a celebrity
To quote Dan Olsen, "Some things are going to take all week no matter how half you ass them." A lot of people put a lot of work into that terrible movie, and they deserved better.
@@timothymclean very true words
honestly the absolute hatred of teenage girls is so upsetting. as a woman who went through it, having no one call that bullshit out or defend us was heartbreaking and gets worse the older I get
As another teenage girl, I hate it too. We cant play Minecraft or enjoy things. But I also really hate twilight so now I’m stuck in a grey area
Never really had realised this phenomenon before this video. So many things in media are seen rebulsive because it is marketed to teenage girls and young women. Even I as a woman have made fun of beliebers and Twilight fans.. and I read all the books and liked the first three of them. Ugh...disgusted by myself. Yes I was a teenager but still. Now that I know, I can try to become better person.
@Platonic Waifu I was a teenage girl for the first round of twilight and I'm a little ashamed to say that I got swept up in the 'I'm not like those other girls!' bandwagon of hatred over some books I genuinely thought were just 'meh' (not that ever judged anyone personally for reading or liking those books or films) and wrapped it in the excuse that it was because of the bad messages about relationships and female role models and just that and TOTALLY NOTHING to do with the fact that society seems to hate and train us to hate teenage girls for liking dumb things aimed at them. I've matured since then and learned etc.. It's fine to not like something, you just need to ask yourself "why do I hate this?" Is it for a genuine critique (which twilight imo was valid to have in many ways) or a personal taste? Or are you being swayed by something whether it's a societal pressure or a "peer pressure" to hate it to an extent? Luckily as you get older you learn not to give a damn about what other people think about your taste.
@@MsSarahJosephine i can completely relate to this. Well put 👌🏼
Agreed. I’m 19 now (so still technically a teenager) but I grew up on Twilight, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, The Maze Runner and Divergent as my favourite teen book adaptations, not to make my situation worse but I was a huge reader, video gamer and anime watcher during my early teens.
All of those combined and being a young female teenager got me into a lot of social trouble (not necessarily bullying, but more just social awkwardness because of what I liked). Teenage girls still catch a lot of flack today and it’s so annoying
"slice of life film The Lighthouse" underappreciated line from this video
That line shook me to my core and I paused the video to scroll down and look to see if anyone else mentioned it.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that was funny.
*hilarious line
I remember the director for New Moon saying they switched the color pallet to match the wolves since Jacob played a more prominent role in this film. He wanted to go from cool toned vampires to warm toned wolves.
Oh that makes sense actually.
Very interesting
Despite all the hate for Twilight, those films had some moments of really good film making. They put in a lot of effort and thought, we simply must stan some dedicated film makers.
fun fact, we could've had a my chemical romance twilight song but they were against it since it was about a 16 yo girl dating a centuries old vampire so they made the song called "vampire money" instead
That song is one of my favorites from danger days, love the 70's punk vibe
And it slaps; even without the honestly entertaining content of it being basically a Twilight diss track, you can’t go wrong with a surprisingly aggressive glam rock song that opens with a “Ballroom Blitz” homage.
based
@@sarinabina5487 yea
imagine if we got a mcr twilight song,,,, I would LOSE it and won't know how to feel about it
I don’t like how franchises switch directors for every film. It’s ruins the continuity. Every director wants to put their own spin on it and it just feels off.
*Laughs in SW sequel trilogy*
@@samt3412 Yeah, good thing the original trilogy was above something like that.
@@HadenBlake honestly I think the Sequel Trilogy could've been way better if Disney decided to have Rian make RoS instead of JJ
@@HadenBlake not necessarily the film Jurassic park is very different compared to its book even though the author of the book helped write the script. Plus depending on the book you may expand on certain things or cut things out entirely. I mean the Harry Potter books had tons of material that didn’t make it to the film either due to it being unnecessary, harmed the pacing, or in some cases they didn’t have the time.
@@HadenBlake but jj abrams was executive producer for the last jedi and reportedly had a lot of creative input on it. and if rian was the only one pushing for reylo, jj could've easily tanked it in tros. i think the issue was really that no one put any thought into episode nine while making episode eight.
The way this perfectly compliments Jenny Nicholson's vampire diaries video-
I could not stop mentally comparing VPD and twilight because I just finished watching that video lol
@@HorrorLover I'm rewatching TVD and it's so hard not too
Omg rigghhtttttt
Oh my god, I just came from there.
I think they're doing some sort of meta thing, like Danny Gonzales did with the other comedy commentary channels. Creating their own cinematic universe. And if they're not please let them see this and then they do it please
What's so bizarre is that Edward wasn't even feminine at ALL, his character just didn't exude the toxic masculinity that other male characters often have in teen movies/shows. And he wore makeup to make him look like a vampire, not because he was femme LMAO. It really shows how scared people were/are of femininity.
He totally has toxic masculinity though. Not the smash a beer can on your head and tell her to get back in the kitchen kind but the "I know what's best for you and will override your autonomy because of that because I'm so much smarter and more knowledgeable than you" way, all the way up to almost forcing her to have an abortion.
@@jonah8231 i agree with the first part but the abortion stuff he was totally right about. its not that he wanted her to get an abortion for selfish reasons, its because the pregnancy killed her. in that situation if a person still insists on giving birth i think ppl around them can take measures to make sure they dont die. its like making sure a suicidal person doesnt go through with it by "forcing" them. at that point it isnt force
@@lunali7209 no. if someone wants to go through with a risky pregnancy, that is THEIR choice. that's their own right to their body. nobody has a right to take that away from them. it doesn't matter if he's 'right' about it probably killing her. her body, her choice.
@@jonah8231 the pregnancy wasnt risky it was 100% deadly. and she did die in the end, edward had to give her his venom to bring her back to life. at that point it isnt a choice that needs to be respected. unless you think when someone says they wanna kill themselves that you should respect that too and do nothing to stop them.
@@lunali7209 idk how to explain that it would still be her choice. it's not comparable to suicide. it's same as the fact people can say they refuse treatment for something even though it would lead to their death and can say do not resusitate.
The way I'm too lazy to watch a movie in one sitting but would happily watch one of Sarah's movie long videos in one sitting
In my brain there are two wolves. One is a distracted gremlin. The other is a hyper-fixating fiend. And together they form my ADD

That's because movie quality can be unpredictable, meanwhile all Sarah's videos are absolute bangers

Never tell a woman, or a person in general when they dont feel like it "You should smile more!" Human beings have HUMAN emotions.
I’m taking this opportunity to apologize for pretending I hated Twilight when the real enemy was people telling me I had to be not like other girls.
You should still hate Twilight, just hate it for the right reasons.
@@Shinigami41395 Oh no, I hated them for institutionalized misogynistic reasons. No actual critical or intellectually engaging reasons.
Liking what you want isn't being "not like other girls." Don't let Twilight fans make you think you're sexist for not liking it. If anything Twilight fans thinking that because they're women who like Twilight that somehow means every woman has to like it is the real sexism.
@@Xehanort10 I loved Twilight. I owned the books, a poster/merch and reread them multiple times.
I just pretended to hate them for approval of people that didn’t matter. I was also salty that everyone liked Twilight because I was a dumb kid that thought I found this unheard of fantasy book series and it felt cool for me to like something nobody knew and BOOM the first movie was a hit. Teen me wanted to be different and was anti-Twilight for a couple years for no reason other than to spite myself.
Edit: I also believed the sexist rhetoric that came with shitting on women enjoying things that are popular.
@@loveandcupcakes100 Hatred of Twilight is not sexism. Twilight being popular doesn't make it good because popular doesn't equal good quality. Twilight is hated because the story sucks, the characters are boring and 1 dimensional, the acting in the films is horrible and the cast and crew hated them, the "romance" isn't romantic but obsessive, controlling and abusive. Bella's feelings for Edward are just lust since she only cares about his looks and having sex with him and he confused wanting Bella's blood with wanting Bella herself. Bella's just Meyer's self insert and one of the biggest Mary Sues in fiction. Every guy she meets loves her for no reason and every girl she meets wants to be her friend also for no reason. She's portrayed as perfect and flawless when she isn't and most of her lines in the book are her whining and complaining about some petty thing. The teen girls who like it are hated for how they react to and treat people who don't like it not because they like it.
The whole thing with moms being fans of Twilight is funny to me, because my dad was actually very into Twilight - He went to see most of the movies with me. He still watches them from time to time
my dad passed away recently but he loved twilight too!
My dad was the first one to read them and he was the one to recommend them to my mom and i
I rewatch it regularly with my brother. And he's 18 years old.
Isn’t that how fifty shades started?
My dad has seen all of the Twilight movies. I have not lol. He loves them.
My entire body curled in on itself when you said "we're cool girls. We like Harry Potter!" That was me to a T in middle school, like I really thought I was so special and unique for liking one of the most popular book series of all time???

There is something so deliciously ironic about Kristen Stewart being the gay one of the Bella Edward duo
I mean, Bella was hella gay for both Alice and Rosalie too, Stephenie Meyer was just too mormon to realize that. The way she talks about them is exactly the way she talks about Edward
From the ex-Mormons I know, repressed bisexual feelings written off as platonic admiration is hella Mormon.
@@ginster458 yeah i went back to check the first book when bella saw the cullens for the first time and she clearly had a thing for rosalie and said that she couldn’t choose if rosalie or edward was the most beautiful out of all of them
@@hellothere2464 she constantly has to catch her breath when Alice walks so beautifully it looks like dancing or just looks at her sometimes too, she is definitely not straight
Wasn't there also a werewolf that was like "matched" or whatever with a toddler I think was named Claire? And like that kid definitely won't age as quickly as Renesmee
Oh definitely. The book kinda tried to explain it away by saying he would only feel brotherly towards her until she was much older, but even as a young teen that had my eyebrows raised.
Yeah he’s basically her big brother until she’s old enough to fall in love with him in 16-18 years

I remember HP fans saying that one of the reasons they hated twilight was because Harry Potter was way more realistic and like...... come on.
at least twilight *tried* with the whole like, vampires have 25 sets of chromosomes explanation. With harry potter its just "YOR A WIZARD HARRY"?? lol

POV: Your friend phoned you at 6am telling you to come over urgently. Upon your arrival they monologue intently about twilight for 90 straight minutes before asking you to leave.
"She does not tweet" has endeared me more to Stephanie Meyer than I thought possible.
My biggest gripe with the series/Meyer is definitely that the Quileute tribe haven't been compensated. It was super exploitative and gross of her to use/write them the way she did, she could at least give them some capital for their troubles. She's worth over $120 million, come on!

Twilight is bad because of the racism, child grooming, and controlling relationships, but I will give it one thing; the movies were incredibly violent, especially for something aimed at teen girls. All the memes were like "these vampires are so weak and watered down" but the number of decapitations in these films is pretty high
Yeah back when i was a hater i was really annoyed at "weak sparklepire" criticism because i had the opposite point of complaint, i found the vampires way too OP and unbalanced.
the other bad parts I do remember but I don't remember the racism, it has been almost years since I last saw so it so if it's not too much trouble can you please remind me where the racism was in twilight?

My mom very genuinely loves Twilight, and when I talk to her about it she makes a lot of interesting points. She doesn’t love it for the romance but the enjoys the world building and the idea of the way vampires act. And yknow what? Good for her

@@silverprimus321boi9 She's great. I watched the movies recently because of her and we both agree it's interesting and we like it, but it's mostly just silly junk food films because of the romance plot.

I knew a guy whose mom did most of the wigs for Hollywood, and she did Taylor Lautner's wig. Apparently he was a real-life Jacob (pre-werewolf moodiness): Sweet, nice, happy-go-lucky, easy-going. It's awful how Hollywood and Twilight backlash treated him. (They also said this was the one time the wig just wouldn't cooperate no matter what she did, so they just stuck a beanie over it, and decided to nix it altogether for New Moon.) I also volunteered for the wolf sanctuary that the Twilight film crew used as a basis for their CGI wolves. They rented the entire sanctuary to film the wolves running around for two weeks, didn't feed the wolves in that time, then snuck a clause in the fine print to keep from paying the sanctuary for their time. The sanctuary tried to fight it for years, but every lawyer who looked at the contract said, "Sorry, there's nothing we can do." I know it's typical Hollywood behavior, but still...
They didn’t feed the wolves?! That’s so fucked up!! And yeah it’s really sad how Taylor is treated now. He does genuinely seem like a really nice person and didn’t deserve that hate he got, especially after Twilight when he didn’t keep up the unrealistic body.
"is she even italian" is killing me, send help
I find it funny that people who claimed to love vampire lore hated Edward for seeming gay. Had these people never heard of Carmilla or Interview with a Vampire? LGBT and LGBT-coded vampires have been a thing for decades.
That is true. I still remember when I watched "Interview with a Vampire" in our literature club in high school. I'm sure it was the first movie we ever watched that showed an actual gay relationship without censoring it too much (the final scene between the two main characters was very direct on their connection, even if they don't outright say it). We really enjoyed it!
The people who used to complain about how "vampire aren't gay" aren't actual Vampire lore fans, they were just everyday people filled with prejudice and buried into the homophobic mob-mindset. Seriously, they used to complain about how Edward looked like a gay man, but NOW people are shipping him with Jacob!! I'm not kidding, there are Edward x Jacob shippers in the internet.
Dracula in the original novel was incredibly bi
That’s right! Camilla was the FIRST pop culture fictional vampire (predates Dracula himself) and she was lesbian.
My issue with the sparkling is Edward saying to Bella that people would know they were different if they saw them sparkling and that the sparkling lures people in so they can kill them. When most people's reaction would be "That's a lot of body glitter." There are versions of vampires who can walk in daylight, the original novel version of Dracula for example but he couldn't use his actual vampire powers until night, Blade vampires could as long as they wore a special sunblock, sunlight needed to be direct to kill Buffy and Angel vampires and so on. All those could walk in daylight but had limitations set on that. "People might see me sparkling" isn't a limitation.
@@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527 what? No. Get out. Tired of people claiming that Dracula was bi. Yeah he drank from harker in his castle and claimed he "owned" him but that was clearing in the context of eating and killing him at the moment. he only ever tried to turn women in the book. His brides (though the book heavily implies the blonde is his bride and that the other two are possibly his daughters or possibly sisters), Lucy (who isn't a slut like in the adaptations, just has a fatal case of the pretty face illness) and Mina who is the real hero of the story. I have the book and I'm tired of people spreading false information about the classic. There is no instance of Dracula being "incredibly bi" in the novel. You want a classic lgbt vampire story then look at carmilla. It's literally the same story but it's a lesbian schoolgirl and a lot shorter. Please its a good story that deserves more people read it. First Dracula is sexist and somehow racist now people claim he is bi cause of moffat and gaitiss' bastardisation. God I'm sick of it.
The frustrating part for me as a fan of hp, twilight, and the hunger games, was that I had no vitriol for any of them but I was told I had to. It's what ultimately pushed me out of Fandom mentality because I was not attracted to any of the "hotties" I was supposed to be fighting other people over and i didn't conflate Harry Potter and Twilight as rivals just because they were huge.
Funnily enough Twilght and Hunger Games helped me realize I'm Ace and Biromantic.
