I often think about this, and the way i would start to fix the relationship between Bella and Edward is having Edward be 17 and new at being a vampire, that would explain a lot of his awkward behavior, and having Bella be a nerd for supernatural stuff, that investigates the Cullen family as she uncovers the history of the small town, it would give her a personality trait and a reason to be so drawn to Edward that isn't instant love. Idk, I think that would be a more interesting book.
No hes awkward because of his age off birth hes oldest next too Carlisle hes been alone the longest nope thats not the way id like it but hes much stronger and wiser and scared in the books. Perhaps the only part they got right is him leaving Bella for her own good. For her soul. You forget he pushed Bella. He dosnt. In the book he destroys the piano which he hadnt played in years untill she came into his life when Carlisle agrees to change Bella. Hes so scared of destroying her he forgets shes scared off losing him. That she made her choice in book one.
She did research him in the film though. And Edward was mentally frozen at 17 with ZERO relationship experience, no kisses, no dates and no holding hands. Both were neophytes.
This is not Twilight. This is fanfiction. You do not understand Edward. Everything that makes up Edward and his personality is his age, the era he was from, his experience, his years living with Carlisle, his understanding of the vampire world. Edward cannot be a NEW vampire. Sorry but this is stupid. And a next thing. You cant "investigate" twilight vampires. They’re too OP. Theyll see, hear, and smell you before you even get close. Bella was only lucky Jacob was a simp and his destiny was to become a werewolf and stand against the Cullens. Next
@@leahscontemporarywerewolves were not even shown in the movies. The shape-shifting natives were though. The book vulture mention about vampires like an ancient thing they were afraid of and thought was a legend even for ARO. Who too was a vampire with the appearance of a young teen like Edward....
You've read my mind. This is how I felt after seeing the movies and reading the books for the first time. I love twilight but I personally feel that all of the other characters backstories are far more interesting and has so much potential. This is something the upcoming tv show should take full advantage of.
Jacob is far more interesting. He awakens a power he didnt know he had, was supposed to be the leader and says no, then eventually to save someone he cares about becomes the leader he didn't want to be forming a second pack.
Right? It’s literally the Heroes Journey. I hatred Twilight but ended up reading a lot of great Jacob fanfic that was so much more interesting than anything in the novels or films.
And yet no matter how much good he does he either hated or dislike for no reason and then get the short end of the stick I mean they always disrespecting him making him the butt of a joke or always got something bad against Jacob Black if only True blood or Vampire diaries or Shadowhunters or Harry Potter have a share universe vwith The twilight series Jacob Black would been off making a crossover jump into one of those series universe
Am I the only one who prefers to completely ignore the Edwella romance and focuses solely on the vampire lore? That's perhaps why I've read the novels only once, but have enjoyed The Official Illustrated Guide many times over. I'd much prefer a novel series exploring the history of the vampires. Who was the first vampire? Do they still exist? _That's_ what I'm personally interested in, not the teenage romance.
The strangest origin story was in Dracula 2000. Apparently they couldn't make the plot as DENSE as desired because of the likes of Weinstein. But OMG I still think about it.
I ignore Bella and the vampires and just focus on the pack lore (through fanfiction). Definitely was not cool using a real tribe, but the pack is much more interesting to me than anything else in Twilight.
Yeah, the dependency displayed in the films and books is disturbing. I know breakups can be hard but to be fully catatonic/comatose, plus the nightmares, really highlights how Bella literally cannot function without Edward, which doesn’t make for a healthy relationship
It happened to me but after a 7 year relationship and an engagement. But I also got over it mostly after 6 months. Really over it when I quit taking his phone calls.
Its a vampire book. You you think its a nursey rhyme. Vampires do vampires things, they are enchanting. This is exactly what a vampire+hulan relationship would look like smh
I would love to see a book and movie about Alice’s life before the Cullens. Something shows her human life, being institutionalized, and meeting Jasper.
@@pattytoler367 it was revealed in Twilight. When James had Bella trapped in the ballet studio, he told her he recognized Alice from an asylum back in the 1920s.
In a sentence, the main problem with Twilight is that it’s pretending Bella is something that she’s not. Bella is framed as quirky, generic everygirl when her behaviour is selfish, narcissistic, impulsive, reckless and self-destructive. She isn’t just an ignorant teenage girl who makes mistakes, the problems with her character go deeper than that, but the story never acknowledges it. It treats her like she is a helpless victim of circumstances beyond her control when we can clearly see that’s not who she is. So one possible fix is to make her more likeable and relatable, for sure… but that’s not nearly the most interesting one. The interesting angle is to understand how twisted a character she is and play into it. Emphasise her personality flaws, embrace the destructive nature of herself and ultimately make the story about the reader trying to understand who the real monster here is. You could do something genuinely Shakespearean here with a ravenous wolf who barely controls his rage and a serial killer with a heart of ice yet among them, it’s the outwardly innocent girl who is the most monstrous one of all. Make their love story engaging because we understand why they shouldn’t be together but because they are terrible people in their own ways, they can’t help themselves but indulge the vanity of their obsession with one another. And even if you wanted to circle around for a redemption arc for either of them where one recognises they can’t go on like this, either or, that could work as a resolution to the story too. But generic good girl and generic good vampire get everything they ever wanted? That was just never going to work… except as the wish fulfilment that the series was from the start, but I guess that’s why it’s such a missed opportunity lol.
I LOVE this evaluation! Even better than my surface-skimming evaluation that I gave. I mean, the teen girls would hate this and there would be riots, fires, and violence in the streets, but I agree with you.
She's the ingenue, not Morgana la Fey. Ingenues look stupid sometimes. You describe Anne Rice. Boy meets girl is not boring. This is like the Transformers formula of adding more fireballs.
I believe the author has creative ideas of a depth that are above what is deemed acceptable by her religious paradigm and they all come out in her side characters, which are numerous and almost all more unique and complicated than either Bella or Edward. She feels safe within the limited sphere of the chaste love story and needs to keep it there. But she needed an outlet for these repressed ideas given life by side characters, and unconciously, they make her apprehensive on some level to this day. Otherwise, we would have other books with their stories. The only side character story she ever did (Bree Tanner?) was another human girl no one cared about. Wasted effort. I also feel the Jacob chapter in breaking dawn showed she could write expanded perspectives well but chose not to.
Yea… I feel like it was never Stephanie’s intent to do a “deep dive” within her own Mythos. A shame, because her world is filled with extremely interesting characters & themes. There could have been series for The Shapeshifters and Volturi. More depth could have been highlighted on “the children of the moon” aka The True Werewolves. They were only mentioned twice within the entire series. She was just to focus on highlighting an incredibly toxic relationship smh
i would love to see more about Rosalie, i feel like she would’ve only fed on rapists and men who have taken advantage of women and girls while she was trying to become vegetarian.
If Twilight was rebooted as a series then they would b able to expand and explore all the characters and the world. Maybe even show more creatures within the universe, just like the Vampire Diaries franchise, especially with the spin off Legacies. That a hell of a lot more creatures The main 3, vampires, witches, and werewolves. We’re getting far too common. That I would love to see and watch. I’ve even said before that because of the graphics within Beautiful Creatures and Warm Bodies, makes me think they’re in the same universe. 2013 The Host included.
Given that a dream about Edward and Bella in the meadow was what inspired Meyer to write the series, they were always going to be the focus. Also, there is a book explaining every characters back stories. Most books do not have relationships that you would want to have in real life.
My good Sir, I would sell my soul (if any being would still accept it as payment) and pay money to hear the version of Twilight that you came up with in this video.
My issue is that Buffy dealt with the problem of vampires and humans years earlier with Buffy and Angel/Spike and yet twilight managed to make the situation even creepier. Quite an achievement really.
I do understand where you're coming from tbh, eventhough I'm a twilight fan I do agree with what you're saying. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was boring, I particularly enjoyed the twilight movies (I can't keep my focus on books having adhd and all) I prefer movie adaptations. However, you have to bare in mind that all the books apart from Midnight Sun, The short 2nd life of Bree Tanner and the other book called Life and Death... is based on Bella's perspective so where seeing the story play out through Bella's eyes hence why the story is focused so much on the relationship between Bella and Edward, also this is why the movies follows suit and why the narration is Bella. Midnight Sun is told through Edwards perspective so I'm sure if Midnight Sun was transferred to the silver screen we would most likely see more a lot of the Cullens lives and Edwards probably switching from past to present in Edwards lifetime, we wouldn't see too much of Bella nor too much of Bella and Edward together cuz story would be more focused on Edwards experience as a vampire, his lust for Bella's blood, blood lust control struggles, his thoughts, him hearing other people thoughts, more of his interactions with the Denali clan and the Cullens events of twilight we've not seen in the original twilight movie... they could even add some of the deleted scenes. Now if the movies was say told through Carlisle's perspective, Alice's perspective or even Aro's perspective we would've got a totally different take on twilight universe. Now the book titled Short & 2nd life of Bree Tanner is through the human turned new born vampire Bree Tanner's perspective including some events from Twilight Saga: Eclipse, now if they made a movie adaptation of that book you would see extra events of Victoria & Reily Beers and some scenes with the Voltori some scenes with the Wolves and some extra scenes involving the Cullans but it would mostly focus on Bree Tanner and there wouldn't be much of a movie cuz Bree Tanner is not the focus of Twilight her life was short cuz she was so young and turned into a vamp then killed by Felix shortly after.... so what would be the point in making a movie about her?
So, a bit of twilight education if you will.... I totally forgot but, the book titled "Life & death reimagined" is basically a retell of the original twilight books Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking dawn but all the characters are gender swapped, apparently people are saying it's better than the main twilight books... again, I can't read books so yeah the idea of a gender swap is fascinating
@@seabreeze4559 I do agree with you but I wouldn't go as far as to say "I hate Bree" I just hate what was done to her, she was just a kid poor child 😢 but what was the point in making a whole book on just her, unless the book included other examples of others like her with similar stories like hers, idk
Id really like this to be remade i actually like the movies through you can see where the leads loss interest i also think a spin off about the Quilets and the Volturi could be cool a mini serries where they can really get into the serries would be hood and I always though Angela was gonna turn out wiccan that would be cool too shes extremely insightfull in the books more than a normal human.
Vampires are faeries and werewolves are shapeshifters makes the story so much better when you know this detail, so much more potential on the world building and why these fairies sparkle with different powers
so excited for the new TV series 🙌🏼 they could: • reboot the books, docus not only on Edward and Bella, but also on the Cullens, the Denalis and Bellas Family and Friends, as well as the werewolves • story of Carlisle Cullen • story of Edward, Rosalie and Emmet • story of Jasper (+Maria) and then how Alice found him, and how they went and sought out the Cullens
Twilight is a romance though. I feel as if you don't understand what the romance genre is so you're expecting more of it than you should. Everything focuses on Bella and Edward because that is what romance stories do, they focus on the romantic couple. It's not a fantasy with romantic elements, it's a romance FIRST with fantastical elements. If you're not a romance fan, it would seem like you're being suffocated with their constant pining, but that's actually the point. 😆
Women like something? ADD OTHER THINGS- He conflates a good story with a Marvel expanded universe. Simple stories are valid. Boy meets girl is GOOD. It's a gothic fairytale, it's fine!
Not a fan of Twlight, as my cousins literally forced me to watch all the movies that and my classmates back then were the only reason I even knew this franchise existed. I didn't even read the books. However, while I am not an expert I would've loved to see the shifters question Imprinting and actively try to find ways out of it, not just roll over an accept it. Because I don't care how you paint it, one of them imprinting on a two year old is wrong and as far as I am concern child grooming. And then there is poor Leah, like she got screwed by it. Somehow she was the bad guy for feeling betrayed?! How?! Why?! Her boyfriend (fiance?) left her for her cousin and didn't even give a valid reason plus COUSIN, of course she would be pissed off. I guess you could argue Emily got half her face clawed off but, then that's a relationship based on domestic abuse? Also, isn't the wolf supposed to be whatever the imprint wants? Because if so Emily screwed her cousin over. And just the whole concept of it rubbed me the wrong way. Let's not even touch on the fact that Jacob imprinted on a hybrid, which aren't they supposed to be natural enemies of vampires?! How is it even possible he imprinted on a HALF VAMPIRE?! From what little I got from the movies, that felt like a slap to the character, a poorly done consolation price because Bella just had to end with Edward and she had to have her cake and eat. She got with Edward and got to keep Jacob in her life. One thing I think would also help make Twilight better is to either fix imprinting or get rid of it. Again, I only saw the movies, maybe something else is said, done or shown in the books but just from the movies alone Imprinting is just wrong with capital letters, underlined and bold
Nope. It's more complex. It's actually destinies they cannot undo. Again. He wasn't horny for a kid. First It's friend, brother mentor, lover. It transforms naturally but sure let's just keep this train going for another billion years. They screwed up with the CGI baby too so it just adds salt to the wound. She was supposed to be a supernatural kid anyway in many ways but yeah I get where toire coming from truly. The series could easily go into all the book stuff that was removed from the movies that literally explained many things deeply that the movies had no business even bothering to mention without any explanation lol
This was a Completely Justified Video for The Twilight Films. The Story of The Films were Really Good but some of The Acting in The Films were kinda bad. Now The Vultori were The Only Vampires in Twilight Films were The Only Vampire to feel like Vampires. I agreed Some The Characters and Stories should have gotten more screen time in The Twilight Films.
It is clear that you have incredible insight and incredible storytelling capabilities. To me, I would love to see you develop your own writings rather than to add or distract from the Twilight series. I would love to read something that you develop and create from your original thoughts. Please keep me posted.
Honestly thought these were the worst books ever. Damp squid vampire and wet blanket teenage girl. The rest of the characters were far more interesting. As a vampire fan, the Volturi were more my kind of vampire.
Can we also address Jasper's back story and either make him ashamed of the side of the Confederate was he fought on or just change which war he fought in entirely, if you don't want to deal with the intricacies of racism? And can we maybe expand the nationalities and races from the vampires in general, especially the main cast? Thanks.
Internationally, I can guarantee you nobody really cares about the Confederacy stuff. Just like Americans don't care about English civil wars. Do you even know who Cromwell is? Doubtful. Like, we don't have to analyse everything. (It's especially funny since we consider Americans as just plain traitors, literally, and you slag off the team who weren't committing treason? Like English people should just agree with our own betrayal. To be America's friend is fatal, as a historian said. That's why the planet hates America now. America betrays everyone, including their own kin.)
I 100% agree when you say it has a lot of potential. I don't want to say anything negative about it nor the author because books are a deeply personal experience. But what I will say is that it has a lot of potential to explore so many more interesting stories. Like, imagine a book about the life of Carlisle, exploring the past. Imagine Jasper and Alice surviving and making their way to the Cullen family. I feel like the second life of Bree Tanner briefly explored this. Imagine a dangerous political drama about the volturi set in the 1600's full of excitement and betrayal. I believe Stepheny Meyer is really intelligent to come up with all of this, and her world building skills are incredible. I think Edward and Bella really, really explored a powerful love. I like his power to project himself into peoples minds not just read them. I would highly encourage Stepheny to switch up her approach a little bit, and write more books about more characters, exploring this world she created. I only have positive things to say about books, because they are a deeply personal experience. For me, a book I've read is more than just a book I've read... It's a memory. And experience within and of itself. Authors are very brave to put themselves out there, and readers make their own experiences. So more books means more experiences. More characters, more stories told, new perspectives, and even new lore and backstories. Twilight is very original and certainly has the potential to be something really great if not already.
@@seabreeze4559 She was a blank slate, and all character traits were projected onto her by others. Midnight Sun gave us some actual reasons why Edward liked her, but none of these came through in Twilight. I also didn't like her doormat tendencies.
@@Jenifer_R_sorry but she isn't that at all. Also watch her recent vids with colbert. She's very animated and one of the few actors who actually isn't pompous and out of touch. She was a blast.
I feel what you are saying, but none of what you said in the second section, "Eclipse of secondary characters" fit in Twilight. As Twilight is all about Bella and Edward. the Triangle between them and Jacob was not resolved very well, so maybe fix this. But if you want a side story of Alice and James, this would be a spin off, along with The Volturie. Just like it was done in Vampire Diaries, spin off Originals and then Legacies. back to the triangle, Bella uses Jacob to return back to humanity, she is love broken when Edward left. But it is on an extreme level. the same with Edwards over bearing demeanor towards Bella. extreme. But when you look at anyone going through a first love break up, they all go through an extreme period. Some end fine, while others go through what Bella went through, withdrawal, and many lead to death. But She never loved Jacob, so at best, Jacob is stuck in the friend zone. Many guys get stuck here, watching the girl they are infatuated by, hang out with someone else, and all they dream about is, if they get a chance to be her love interest, what would they do. and it happened to Jacob, So we are in the Fix it stage. back to the Vampire Diaries, This series is 9+ seasons long. So it has plenty of time to look into every characters back story, and what happens before and after each transformation. While in Twilight, it is just 4 books, which created 5 shows a couple of hours each. you do not have the time to do a full character scenario for each character. They did a good job introducing each character with the fix movie time allowed. So I push you back to going back to making spin offs and stop trying to fit everything into Twilight, which is all about Bellas Life story leading her into being a vampire
we already know that other storylines in Twilight are much more interesting than Bella and Edward's, maybe the twilight series will focus on them instead of the love story between this couple.
Carlisle Cullens technically didn't join the Voltaire. He did live with the Voltaire for a few decades, but was never an official member of their coven or a member of the Voltaire guard. you have to remember that this was a story that grew from a dream that Meyers had one night and felt she had to fill it out, to help it grow. Then she marketed it to teen girls, who would be the only group of people who be interested in this kind of drama. The only problem with your ideas is that they have nothing to do with the central theme of the stories. That theme is that an awkward teen girl falls in love with a hot guy. He leaves her out of love and concern for her. She begins to mend her heart by hanging around another hot guy. The first guy returns, now she doesn't know who to love, but there's plenty of danger that going to befall people she cares about because of her, you know, since it's all about her and her feelings. She finally figures who she really loves, and the danger is averted only for something else to pop up and be dangerous, which is all a part of life. It's all teen girl drama. I think you're ideas are really good, and as a story-teller myself, I like them, but they just aren't all that relevant to how a teen girl will decide who she loves the most. Honestly, I think you're ideas would SERIOUSLY improve Twilight, again, they just aren't right for the theme Meyers was going for.
Being a teenage girl is very scary. That's why it's popular, unlike the many erotic stories out there re vampires. People hate Twilight just for being what it is, very simple. Simple stories are allowed to exist but an expanded universe would be nice.
I would love Twilight to have a series in the future either continuing the event of Breaking Dawn Part 2 or starting all over again but the writers actually giving the other characters of the show more screen time in my opinion.
What does religion have to do with anything? Stephanie Myers took a dream she had and turned it into 4 books, 5 movies, a novella about Bree Tanner, etc. I look at it this way: she made money writing those books (not to mention writing “The Host” and THAT became a movie), the books become movies, she gets proceeds from every sale of books as well as a percentage of whatever the movies make based on her books. Everyone makes money so everybody wins. The guy who played Edward - I saw him in the 4th Harry Potter movie. That’s how he made his film debut.
They mention in new moon how St. Marcus kicked the vampires out of the city, its just a small reference but we never hear anymore about it, so the question is are there vampire hunters they could have expanded on that
could marcus have been a vampire hunter and was turned out of spite? kinda like how carlisle's dad would have been if caught before carlisle? - fanfic potential
I like the third book because it dug into characters’ back stories. We learned why Rosalie was nasty to Bella & where the Cullens came from. Edward was whiny who made decisions for Bella. Bella was a wet dishrag. Charlie was great but poor guy had a boring codependent daughter. My fave parts of the books were the backstories. Stephanie Meyer had some good moments but ruined them with Bella’s existence
It is easy to find faults with almost every Movies, Books,and TV shows ever produced. I just watched a video about how everything is wrong with Pride and Prejudice and how they could have written it better. You are of course entitled to your opinions. But the Twilight film make $69 million in 2008 and that does not count the videos that sold out.
The overprotectiveness I understood, but other bits made zero sense to me, such as Edward acting like she smells horrible, his attitude with being distant while at the same time wanting to be near her, I mean FFS they had apparently graduated high school what seemed like 20 or so times (that framed cap board), so you'd think they'd be use to humans by then especially since they were "vegans" (honestly calling them vegan just sounds dumb as it initially assumes they only eat plants, but later revealed they only eat animals, its like calling a cannibal who use to eat humans a vegan cause they only eat animals now). I get Bella loves him, but her over reliance on him & his mere presence is definitely obsessive. Then the bit with Jacob, her trying to get out of her depression by attempting to rebound to Jacob (that is what she was doing), then him ditching her like Edward, then forcing this love triangle crap in, it all felt pointless. Besides the introduction of the Werewolves (don't care that people say they are shape shifters, werewolves are humans that SHAPE SHIFT into wolves - and the fact that they turn when vampires show up, doesnt convince me that they aren't werewolves, ESPECIALLY when we were not shown what werewolves look like or how the hell they differ from them) and the introduction of the Volturi, most of New Moon felt pointless. For the first film, shoving in loads of extra lore wouldn't help. Will say though, Edward saying "I look disgusting" just because he sparkles, that was beyond cringe. If he used his past deeds where he killed murderers for his reason for seeing himself as a monster instead of sparkles, that would've worked better. Plus Stephanie could've used something else than simply sparkles to identify Vampires, cause seriously, people do wear glitter. What if Sunlight caused their red eyes to show, even if vegan, and they glowed when exposed to sunlight? THAT would've been an easier identifier and would've made way more sense. Sparkles could easily be explained away as wearing glitter (glitter does reflect light). Later films after introducing characters to Bella's life could've been further explored, like Game of Thrones explored characters after introducing them. Like imagine if we got scenes where Esme and Carlisle are questioning Edward's decisions, exploring Rosalie's reluctance to accept Bella, Alice's troubled past with James, etc. And all those scenes wouldn't need Bella to be directly apart of them, simply shift focus. Hell, even scenes involving Carlisle, Charlie, and Harry Clearwater and no one else would've helped show the fragile relationship between vampires and werewolves (again, don't care). All that instead of the "i can't live without you, my life sucks" (New Moon) movie would've added way more to it an expanded the lore way better. Plus Harry's death would've been more powerful, as it seemed like he was killed by simply being picked up by a vampire who didn't bite him or doing anything serious to him, like he died from simply being touched. And since there was barely any screen time for him, his death was "meh" at best cause we didn't really know him. Its like if Jasper was killed in the first film, can bet that no one would care cause we didn't know him at the time. And personally, killing James was frankly too quick. Imagine if he had escaped and became a near constant threat, and given his tendencies to draw attention as a vampire, probably would've gotten the Volturi involved and seen much sooner.
I agree with you on all of your videos, crazy that your wishes, interests and wants are so similar to mine when it comes to Twilight. Are you by any chance INFJ personality ?
I think Edward and Bella add the most essence to the story. There is plenty of the vampire world in the books...the romance and lore frankly complement each other.
Expanded universe? Love it. Like, don't make the wolves or Volturi a subplot but their own distinct series! With their OWN distinct tones! Mystical for the wolves, gangster noir for Volturi. Changing what Twilight is, boy meets girl? Missing the point, it's a romance. Just make EXTRA films and TV series, don't damage the core thing itself. There's a place for chaste romance beside the erotic ones like Anne Rice. All characters are selfish, that's what a character is. Bella and Edward are functional because they fit like a jigsaw. Maybe not ideal, but who is? He isn't Prince Charming, the original complaint about him. I want documentary style TV series about EACH of the Cullens before Bella. Then it turns out each one is narrating in third person about their own public menace. Like a true crime documentary. We can play with genres without damaging what Twilight is. Like, do the Volturi make music? Castles have great acoustics. Is it like death metal with tons of screaming? Do they have siren voices, especially some of the women? Do they have theme parks or rent out villages to raid and maim like some corrupt humans do? Do they own the human legal system? I NEED TO KNOW. But leave Bella and Edward alone, without vanilla most other ice cream is too weird seeming. They are the foil to that universe, it's needed. It's refreshing to read something wholesome with values like self-control (temperance) and spirituality. Anne Rice is fine too. Two poles. Does Alice run a clothes museum? WHERE DO THE CLOTHES GO? Do they wear their old clothes to costume parties, as a JOKE? CONTEXT. Sleeping is the most human thing in the Twilight universe, so to him it is sweet. Needn't be objectively. Jacob WAS dangerous to Bella, one character is a literal example of how with the face scar. Alice couldn't have seen Jacob losing it on time. I'd love a Willy Wonka style view of Twilight from Alice's changing visions, including Edward's envy when Bella originally married MIKE NEWTON. Oh to hear THAT conversation! Edit: what if Alice saw him later return to Mrs Newton and kidnap her or something? Or her marriage to him was unhappy? WE DON'T KNOW.
Bella's character in the movie was a miserable wet blanket with no personality. I found her to be exceptionally annoying. Edward was your typical emo guy. I accidentally ended up watching the movie after i fell asleep on the couch after work watching a movie. When i woke up. I was wide awake at one in the morning. So happens the beginning twinkle was on. So i watched it. At the end i just said, "That's it?" That's what all the guss was about over those movies all those years ago.
Technically it was about Edward and Bella when you read the books but the books are better and add more to the story.. other characters have more action. 🤷🏻♀️
Or it’s because she subconsciously learned how to protect her mind. FYI, Bella’s “shield” is based on facts. I keep my guard up in order to protect myself. It’s basically the same thing that Bella’s doing (she gets that from Charlie)

Jacob is far more interesting. He awakens a power he didnt know he had, was supposed to be the leader and says no, then eventually to save someone he cares about becomes the leader he didn't want to be forming a second pack.
He lives up to his name
Right? It’s literally the Heroes Journey. I hatred Twilight but ended up reading a lot of great Jacob fanfic that was so much more interesting than anything in the novels or films.
And yet no matter how much good he does he either hated or dislike for no reason and then get the short end of the stick I mean they always disrespecting him making him the butt of a joke or always got something bad against Jacob Black if only True blood or Vampire diaries or Shadowhunters or Harry Potter have a share universe vwith The twilight series Jacob Black would been off making a crossover jump into one of those series universe
@@rb5078 I agree with you
And yet he always gets disliked or hated for some unknown reason
Am I the only one who prefers to completely ignore the Edwella romance and focuses solely on the vampire lore? That's perhaps why I've read the novels only once, but have enjoyed The Official Illustrated Guide many times over. I'd much prefer a novel series exploring the history of the vampires. Who was the first vampire? Do they still exist? _That's_ what I'm personally interested in, not the teenage romance.
The strangest origin story was in Dracula 2000. Apparently they couldn't make the plot as DENSE as desired because of the likes of Weinstein. But OMG I still think about it.
I ignore Bella and the vampires and just focus on the pack lore (through fanfiction). Definitely was not cool using a real tribe, but the pack is much more interesting to me than anything else in Twilight.
Yeah, the dependency displayed in the films and books is disturbing. I know breakups can be hard but to be fully catatonic/comatose, plus the nightmares, really highlights how Bella literally cannot function without Edward, which doesn’t make for a healthy relationship
It happened to me but after a 7 year relationship and an engagement. But I also got over it mostly after 6 months. Really over it when I quit taking his phone calls.
Its a vampire book. You you think its a nursey rhyme. Vampires do vampires things, they are enchanting. This is exactly what a vampire+hulan relationship would look like smh
I would love to see a book and movie about Alice’s life before the Cullens. Something shows her human life, being institutionalized, and meeting Jasper.
Alice was institutionalized? Where did you read that? Which book?
@@pattytoler367 it was revealed in Twilight. When James had Bella trapped in the ballet studio, he told her he recognized Alice from an asylum back in the 1920s.
I agree a tv show About the Volturi’s rise to power would definitely be watch worthy!
In a sentence, the main problem with Twilight is that it’s pretending Bella is something that she’s not.
Bella is framed as quirky, generic everygirl when her behaviour is selfish, narcissistic, impulsive, reckless and self-destructive. She isn’t just an ignorant teenage girl who makes mistakes, the problems with her character go deeper than that, but the story never acknowledges it. It treats her like she is a helpless victim of circumstances beyond her control when we can clearly see that’s not who she is.
So one possible fix is to make her more likeable and relatable, for sure… but that’s not nearly the most interesting one. The interesting angle is to understand how twisted a character she is and play into it. Emphasise her personality flaws, embrace the destructive nature of herself and ultimately make the story about the reader trying to understand who the real monster here is. You could do something genuinely Shakespearean here with a ravenous wolf who barely controls his rage and a serial killer with a heart of ice yet among them, it’s the outwardly innocent girl who is the most monstrous one of all. Make their love story engaging because we understand why they shouldn’t be together but because they are terrible people in their own ways, they can’t help themselves but indulge the vanity of their obsession with one another.
And even if you wanted to circle around for a redemption arc for either of them where one recognises they can’t go on like this, either or, that could work as a resolution to the story too. But generic good girl and generic good vampire get everything they ever wanted? That was just never going to work… except as the wish fulfilment that the series was from the start, but I guess that’s why it’s such a missed opportunity lol.
Fantastic comment. I always enjoy reading your responses
@@VampireFolkloreVideosI enjoy you giving me the platform to make them! 🤗
I LOVE this evaluation! Even better than my surface-skimming evaluation that I gave. I mean, the teen girls would hate this and there would be riots, fires, and violence in the streets, but I agree with you.
.
She's the ingenue, not Morgana la Fey. Ingenues look stupid sometimes. You describe Anne Rice. Boy meets girl is not boring. This is like the Transformers formula of adding more fireballs.
I believe the author has creative ideas of a depth that are above what is deemed acceptable by her religious paradigm and they all come out in her side characters, which are numerous and almost all more unique and complicated than either Bella or Edward. She feels safe within the limited sphere of the chaste love story and needs to keep it there. But she needed an outlet for these repressed ideas given life by side characters, and unconciously, they make her apprehensive on some level to this day. Otherwise, we would have other books with their stories. The only side character story she ever did (Bree Tanner?) was another human girl no one cared about. Wasted effort.
I also feel the Jacob chapter in breaking dawn showed she could write expanded perspectives well but chose not to.
Yea… I feel like it was never Stephanie’s intent to do a “deep dive” within her own Mythos. A shame, because her world is filled with extremely interesting characters & themes. There could have been series for The Shapeshifters and Volturi. More depth could have been highlighted on “the children of the moon” aka The True Werewolves. They were only mentioned twice within the entire series. She was just to focus on highlighting an incredibly toxic relationship smh
i would love to see more about Rosalie, i feel like she would’ve only fed on rapists and men who have taken advantage of women and girls while she was trying to become vegetarian.
If Twilight was rebooted as a series then they would b able to expand and explore all the characters and the world. Maybe even show more creatures within the universe, just like the Vampire Diaries franchise, especially with the spin off Legacies. That a hell of a lot more creatures The main 3, vampires, witches, and werewolves. We’re getting far too common. That I would love to see and watch. I’ve even said before that because of the graphics within Beautiful Creatures and Warm Bodies, makes me think they’re in the same universe. 2013 The Host included.
Given that a dream about Edward and Bella in the meadow was what inspired Meyer to write the series, they were always going to be the focus. Also, there is a book explaining every characters back stories. Most books do not have relationships that you would want to have in real life.
Oh yes totally agree about alice her backstory is so compelling
Yes. There are high level short films about these characters. Watch them!
My good Sir, I would sell my soul (if any being would still accept it as payment) and pay money to hear the version of Twilight that you came up with in this video.
My issue is that Buffy dealt with the problem of vampires and humans years earlier with Buffy and Angel/Spike and yet twilight managed to make the situation even creepier. Quite an achievement really.
Why can't it be creepy? It's a gothic fairytale.
I do understand where you're coming from tbh, eventhough I'm a twilight fan I do agree with what you're saying. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was boring, I particularly enjoyed the twilight movies (I can't keep my focus on books having adhd and all) I prefer movie adaptations.
However, you have to bare in mind that all the books apart from Midnight Sun, The short 2nd life of Bree Tanner and the other book called Life and Death... is based on Bella's perspective so where seeing the story play out through Bella's eyes hence why the story is focused so much on the relationship between Bella and Edward, also this is why the movies follows suit and why the narration is Bella. Midnight Sun is told through Edwards perspective so I'm sure if Midnight Sun was transferred to the silver screen we would most likely see more a lot of the Cullens lives and Edwards probably switching from past to present in Edwards lifetime, we wouldn't see too much of Bella nor too much of Bella and Edward together cuz story would be more focused on Edwards experience as a vampire, his lust for Bella's blood, blood lust control struggles, his thoughts, him hearing other people thoughts, more of his interactions with the Denali clan and the Cullens events of twilight we've not seen in the original twilight movie... they could even add some of the deleted scenes. Now if the movies was say told through Carlisle's perspective, Alice's perspective or even Aro's perspective we would've got a totally different take on twilight universe. Now the book titled Short & 2nd life of Bree Tanner is through the human turned new born vampire Bree Tanner's perspective including some events from Twilight Saga: Eclipse, now if they made a movie adaptation of that book you would see extra events of Victoria & Reily Beers and some scenes with the Voltori some scenes with the Wolves and some extra scenes involving the Cullans but it would mostly focus on Bree Tanner and there wouldn't be much of a movie cuz Bree Tanner is not the focus of Twilight her life was short cuz she was so young and turned into a vamp then killed by Felix shortly after.... so what would be the point in making a movie about her?
So, a bit of twilight education if you will.... I totally forgot but, the book titled "Life & death reimagined" is basically a retell of the original twilight books Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking dawn but all the characters are gender swapped, apparently people are saying it's better than the main twilight books... again, I can't read books so yeah the idea of a gender swap is fascinating
I feel like the only person who hates Bree. Vampire kids are off limits, a sympathy book is crazy. It was a mercy kill.
@@seabreeze4559 I do agree with you but I wouldn't go as far as to say "I hate Bree" I just hate what was done to her, she was just a kid poor child 😢 but what was the point in making a whole book on just her, unless the book included other examples of others like her with similar stories like hers, idk
I love the books and films. You do have a good point on this
Id really like this to be remade i actually like the movies through you can see where the leads loss interest i also think a spin off about the Quilets and the Volturi could be cool a mini serries where they can really get into the serries would be hood and I always though Angela was gonna turn out wiccan that would be cool too shes extremely insightfull in the books more than a normal human.
You should do the lost boys next.
Speaking on the subject, can anyone name one hobby of Bella?? Or a skill? Likes?? Anything at all…
Vampires are faeries and werewolves are shapeshifters makes the story so much better when you know this detail, so much more potential on the world building and why these fairies sparkle with different powers
so excited for the new TV series 🙌🏼
they could:
• reboot the books, docus not only on Edward and Bella, but also on the Cullens, the Denalis and Bellas Family and Friends, as well as the werewolves
• story of Carlisle Cullen
• story of Edward, Rosalie and Emmet
• story of Jasper (+Maria) and then how Alice found him, and how they went and sought out the Cullens
I would have loved to see other characters' back stories
There is the Denali vamps and the story of their mother.
There are high level short films about these characters. Watch them!
@@pattytoler367where?
@Makkaru112 where? This is new to me
Twilight is a romance though. I feel as if you don't understand what the romance genre is so you're expecting more of it than you should. Everything focuses on Bella and Edward because that is what romance stories do, they focus on the romantic couple. It's not a fantasy with romantic elements, it's a romance FIRST with fantastical elements. If you're not a romance fan, it would seem like you're being suffocated with their constant pining, but that's actually the point. 😆
Women like something? ADD OTHER THINGS-
He conflates a good story with a Marvel expanded universe. Simple stories are valid. Boy meets girl is GOOD. It's a gothic fairytale, it's fine!
Not a fan of Twlight, as my cousins literally forced me to watch all the movies that and my classmates back then were the only reason I even knew this franchise existed. I didn't even read the books.
However, while I am not an expert I would've loved to see the shifters question Imprinting and actively try to find ways out of it, not just roll over an accept it. Because I don't care how you paint it, one of them imprinting on a two year old is wrong and as far as I am concern child grooming. And then there is poor Leah, like she got screwed by it. Somehow she was the bad guy for feeling betrayed?! How?! Why?! Her boyfriend (fiance?) left her for her cousin and didn't even give a valid reason plus COUSIN, of course she would be pissed off. I guess you could argue Emily got half her face clawed off but, then that's a relationship based on domestic abuse? Also, isn't the wolf supposed to be whatever the imprint wants? Because if so Emily screwed her cousin over. And just the whole concept of it rubbed me the wrong way. Let's not even touch on the fact that Jacob imprinted on a hybrid, which aren't they supposed to be natural enemies of vampires?! How is it even possible he imprinted on a HALF VAMPIRE?! From what little I got from the movies, that felt like a slap to the character, a poorly done consolation price because Bella just had to end with Edward and she had to have her cake and eat. She got with Edward and got to keep Jacob in her life. One thing I think would also help make Twilight better is to either fix imprinting or get rid of it. Again, I only saw the movies, maybe something else is said, done or shown in the books but just from the movies alone Imprinting is just wrong with capital letters, underlined and bold
Nope. It's more complex. It's actually destinies they cannot undo. Again. He wasn't horny for a kid. First It's friend, brother mentor, lover. It transforms naturally but sure let's just keep this train going for another billion years. They screwed up with the CGI baby too so it just adds salt to the wound. She was supposed to be a supernatural kid anyway in many ways but yeah I get where toire coming from truly. The series could easily go into all the book stuff that was removed from the movies that literally explained many things deeply that the movies had no business even bothering to mention without any explanation lol
This was a Completely Justified Video for The Twilight Films. The Story of The Films were Really Good but some of The Acting in The Films were kinda bad. Now The Vultori were The Only Vampires in Twilight Films were The Only Vampire to feel like Vampires. I agreed Some The Characters and Stories should have gotten more screen time in The Twilight Films.
It is clear that you have incredible insight and incredible storytelling capabilities. To me, I would love to see you develop your own writings rather than to add or distract from the Twilight series. I would love to read something that you develop and create from your original thoughts. Please keep me posted.
Also instead of Jacob imprinting on Renesmee which is gross by the way, we have him imprint on Leah.
I 100% agree with the twilight universe is so good
I like the movies but I love the books. The movie left out a lot of great backstories.
I need to find and read the books again, especially about Jasper.
There are high level short films about these characters. Watch them!
Honestly thought these were the worst books ever. Damp squid vampire and wet blanket teenage girl. The rest of the characters were far more interesting. As a vampire fan, the Volturi were more my kind of vampire.
Very well said
Vampire Mafia stories are over-done, even Blade the TV series tried it.
Edward and bella do have a problematic relationship even when I was a teenager I always knew this
Can we also address Jasper's back story and either make him ashamed of the side of the Confederate was he fought on or just change which war he fought in entirely, if you don't want to deal with the intricacies of racism? And can we maybe expand the nationalities and races from the vampires in general, especially the main cast? Thanks.
Or he could just not remember, based on how vampires lose memory in changing, and finds out later?
Internationally, I can guarantee you nobody really cares about the Confederacy stuff. Just like Americans don't care about English civil wars. Do you even know who Cromwell is? Doubtful. Like, we don't have to analyse everything. (It's especially funny since we consider Americans as just plain traitors, literally, and you slag off the team who weren't committing treason? Like English people should just agree with our own betrayal. To be America's friend is fatal, as a historian said. That's why the planet hates America now. America betrays everyone, including their own kin.)
@@seabreeze4559 Fair. As long as if does remember it's addressed.
I 100% agree when you say it has a lot of potential. I don't want to say anything negative about it nor the author because books are a deeply personal experience. But what I will say is that it has a lot of potential to explore so many more interesting stories. Like, imagine a book about the life of Carlisle, exploring the past. Imagine Jasper and Alice surviving and making their way to the Cullen family. I feel like the second life of Bree Tanner briefly explored this. Imagine a dangerous political drama about the volturi set in the 1600's full of excitement and betrayal. I believe Stepheny Meyer is really intelligent to come up with all of this, and her world building skills are incredible. I think Edward and Bella really, really explored a powerful love. I like his power to project himself into peoples minds not just read them. I would highly encourage Stepheny to switch up her approach a little bit, and write more books about more characters, exploring this world she created. I only have positive things to say about books, because they are a deeply personal experience. For me, a book I've read is more than just a book I've read... It's a memory. And experience within and of itself. Authors are very brave to put themselves out there, and readers make their own experiences. So more books means more experiences. More characters, more stories told, new perspectives, and even new lore and backstories. Twilight is very original and certainly has the potential to be something really great if not already.
Bella's personality would have been greatly improved by simply giving her one.
I love this comment! 😂 I'm still laughing ( it's true)
She was selfless and demure. That's more interesting to read than watch. Meek people are under-rated nowadays.
@@seabreeze4559 She was a blank slate, and all character traits were projected onto her by others.
Midnight Sun gave us some actual reasons why Edward liked her, but none of these came through in Twilight.
I also didn't like her doormat tendencies.
@@Jenifer_R_sorry but she isn't that at all. Also watch her recent vids with colbert. She's very animated and one of the few actors who actually isn't pompous and out of touch. She was a blast.
@@Jenifer_R_ you didn't like the character she played well to make you dislike her haha
no need to fix twilight is fine way it is i only wish there was one last one seeing renesmee grow up and around jacob god i hate haters of good movies
I feel what you are saying, but none of what you said in the second section, "Eclipse of secondary characters" fit in Twilight. As Twilight is all about Bella and Edward. the Triangle between them and Jacob was not resolved very well, so maybe fix this. But if you want a side story of Alice and James, this would be a spin off, along with The Volturie. Just like it was done in Vampire Diaries, spin off Originals and then Legacies.
back to the triangle, Bella uses Jacob to return back to humanity, she is love broken when Edward left. But it is on an extreme level. the same with Edwards over bearing demeanor towards Bella. extreme. But when you look at anyone going through a first love break up, they all go through an extreme period. Some end fine, while others go through what Bella went through, withdrawal, and many lead to death.
But She never loved Jacob, so at best, Jacob is stuck in the friend zone. Many guys get stuck here, watching the girl they are infatuated by, hang out with someone else, and all they dream about is, if they get a chance to be her love interest, what would they do. and it happened to Jacob,
So we are in the Fix it stage. back to the Vampire Diaries, This series is 9+ seasons long. So it has plenty of time to look into every characters back story, and what happens before and after each transformation. While in Twilight, it is just 4 books, which created 5 shows a couple of hours each. you do not have the time to do a full character scenario for each character. They did a good job introducing each character with the fix movie time allowed. So I push you back to going back to making spin offs and stop trying to fit everything into Twilight, which is all about Bellas Life story leading her into being a vampire
we already know that other storylines in Twilight are much more interesting than Bella and Edward's, maybe the twilight series will focus on them instead of the love story between this couple.
Carlisle Cullens technically didn't join the Voltaire. He did live with the Voltaire for a few decades, but was never an official member of their coven or a member of the Voltaire guard. you have to remember that this was a story that grew from a dream that Meyers had one night and felt she had to fill it out, to help it grow. Then she marketed it to teen girls, who would be the only group of people who be interested in this kind of drama. The only problem with your ideas is that they have nothing to do with the central theme of the stories. That theme is that an awkward teen girl falls in love with a hot guy. He leaves her out of love and concern for her. She begins to mend her heart by hanging around another hot guy. The first guy returns, now she doesn't know who to love, but there's plenty of danger that going to befall people she cares about because of her, you know, since it's all about her and her feelings. She finally figures who she really loves, and the danger is averted only for something else to pop up and be dangerous, which is all a part of life. It's all teen girl drama. I think you're ideas are really good, and as a story-teller myself, I like them, but they just aren't all that relevant to how a teen girl will decide who she loves the most. Honestly, I think you're ideas would SERIOUSLY improve Twilight, again, they just aren't right for the theme Meyers was going for.
Being a teenage girl is very scary. That's why it's popular, unlike the many erotic stories out there re vampires. People hate Twilight just for being what it is, very simple. Simple stories are allowed to exist but an expanded universe would be nice.
What the hell kind of acting is KS doing at 7:00?
Looks like she’s about to break out into an epilepsy . 🙄🤣🤣🤣
it is no fun
I know it's only 16 episodes but I wish you could make a video about Moonlight (2007)
I really enjoy this video and agree with u will make it way better
I would love Twilight to have a series in the future either continuing the event of Breaking Dawn Part 2 or starting all over again but the writers actually giving the other characters of the show more screen time in my opinion.
It was written by a Mormon I don’t expect anything less.
What does religion have to do with anything? Stephanie Myers took a dream she had and turned it into 4 books, 5 movies, a novella about Bree Tanner, etc. I look at it this way: she made money writing those books (not to mention writing “The Host” and THAT became a movie), the books become movies, she gets proceeds from every sale of books as well as a percentage of whatever the movies make based on her books. Everyone makes money so everybody wins. The guy who played Edward - I saw him in the 4th Harry Potter movie. That’s how he made his film debut.
They mention in new moon how St. Marcus kicked the vampires out of the city, its just a small reference but we never hear anymore about it, so the question is are there vampire hunters they could have expanded on that
could marcus have been a vampire hunter and was turned out of spite? kinda like how carlisle's dad would have been if caught before carlisle? - fanfic potential
I like the third book because it dug into characters’ back stories. We learned why Rosalie was nasty to Bella & where the Cullens came from. Edward was whiny who made decisions for Bella. Bella was a wet dishrag. Charlie was great but poor guy had a boring codependent daughter. My fave parts of the books were the backstories. Stephanie Meyer had some good moments but ruined them with Bella’s existence
It is easy to find faults with almost every Movies, Books,and TV shows ever produced. I just watched a video about how everything is wrong with Pride and Prejudice and how they could have written it better. You are of course entitled to your opinions. But the Twilight film make $69 million in 2008 and that does not count the videos that sold out.
His job is critic, they cannot create, only destroy.
Many of us already went down this road... I'd have loved to see a full video of fixing lol
some of the characters were meant to get there own movie
Excellent points!
Love this one. Thank you
i would have pick edward but that is just me
The overprotectiveness I understood, but other bits made zero sense to me, such as Edward acting like she smells horrible, his attitude with being distant while at the same time wanting to be near her, I mean FFS they had apparently graduated high school what seemed like 20 or so times (that framed cap board), so you'd think they'd be use to humans by then especially since they were "vegans" (honestly calling them vegan just sounds dumb as it initially assumes they only eat plants, but later revealed they only eat animals, its like calling a cannibal who use to eat humans a vegan cause they only eat animals now).
I get Bella loves him, but her over reliance on him & his mere presence is definitely obsessive. Then the bit with Jacob, her trying to get out of her depression by attempting to rebound to Jacob (that is what she was doing), then him ditching her like Edward, then forcing this love triangle crap in, it all felt pointless.
Besides the introduction of the Werewolves (don't care that people say they are shape shifters, werewolves are humans that SHAPE SHIFT into wolves - and the fact that they turn when vampires show up, doesnt convince me that they aren't werewolves, ESPECIALLY when we were not shown what werewolves look like or how the hell they differ from them) and the introduction of the Volturi, most of New Moon felt pointless.
For the first film, shoving in loads of extra lore wouldn't help. Will say though, Edward saying "I look disgusting" just because he sparkles, that was beyond cringe. If he used his past deeds where he killed murderers for his reason for seeing himself as a monster instead of sparkles, that would've worked better.
Plus Stephanie could've used something else than simply sparkles to identify Vampires, cause seriously, people do wear glitter. What if Sunlight caused their red eyes to show, even if vegan, and they glowed when exposed to sunlight? THAT would've been an easier identifier and would've made way more sense. Sparkles could easily be explained away as wearing glitter (glitter does reflect light).
Later films after introducing characters to Bella's life could've been further explored, like Game of Thrones explored characters after introducing them. Like imagine if we got scenes where Esme and Carlisle are questioning Edward's decisions, exploring Rosalie's reluctance to accept Bella, Alice's troubled past with James, etc. And all those scenes wouldn't need Bella to be directly apart of them, simply shift focus.
Hell, even scenes involving Carlisle, Charlie, and Harry Clearwater and no one else would've helped show the fragile relationship between vampires and werewolves (again, don't care).
All that instead of the "i can't live without you, my life sucks" (New Moon) movie would've added way more to it an expanded the lore way better. Plus Harry's death would've been more powerful, as it seemed like he was killed by simply being picked up by a vampire who didn't bite him or doing anything serious to him, like he died from simply being touched. And since there was barely any screen time for him, his death was "meh" at best cause we didn't really know him. Its like if Jasper was killed in the first film, can bet that no one would care cause we didn't know him at the time.
And personally, killing James was frankly too quick. Imagine if he had escaped and became a near constant threat, and given his tendencies to draw attention as a vampire, probably would've gotten the Volturi involved and seen much sooner.
I agree. Twilight universe could have been expanded more. Too many characters have interesting stories that were passed on.
Everything you said is all true
The writer of the book could do a lot more with spin off books
I agree with you on all of your videos, crazy that your wishes, interests and wants are so similar to mine when it comes to Twilight. Are you by any chance INFJ personality ?
The entire saga is about Edward and Bella's love for each other, the vampire stuff is secondary.
I think Edward and Bella add the most essence to the story. There is plenty of the vampire world in the books...the romance and lore frankly complement each other.
Expanded universe? Love it. Like, don't make the wolves or Volturi a subplot but their own distinct series! With their OWN distinct tones! Mystical for the wolves, gangster noir for Volturi. Changing what Twilight is, boy meets girl? Missing the point, it's a romance. Just make EXTRA films and TV series, don't damage the core thing itself. There's a place for chaste romance beside the erotic ones like Anne Rice. All characters are selfish, that's what a character is. Bella and Edward are functional because they fit like a jigsaw. Maybe not ideal, but who is? He isn't Prince Charming, the original complaint about him. I want documentary style TV series about EACH of the Cullens before Bella. Then it turns out each one is narrating in third person about their own public menace. Like a true crime documentary. We can play with genres without damaging what Twilight is. Like, do the Volturi make music? Castles have great acoustics. Is it like death metal with tons of screaming? Do they have siren voices, especially some of the women? Do they have theme parks or rent out villages to raid and maim like some corrupt humans do? Do they own the human legal system? I NEED TO KNOW. But leave Bella and Edward alone, without vanilla most other ice cream is too weird seeming. They are the foil to that universe, it's needed. It's refreshing to read something wholesome with values like self-control (temperance) and spirituality. Anne Rice is fine too. Two poles. Does Alice run a clothes museum? WHERE DO THE CLOTHES GO? Do they wear their old clothes to costume parties, as a JOKE? CONTEXT.
Sleeping is the most human thing in the Twilight universe, so to him it is sweet. Needn't be objectively. Jacob WAS dangerous to Bella, one character is a literal example of how with the face scar. Alice couldn't have seen Jacob losing it on time. I'd love a Willy Wonka style view of Twilight from Alice's changing visions, including Edward's envy when Bella originally married MIKE NEWTON. Oh to hear THAT conversation! Edit: what if Alice saw him later return to Mrs Newton and kidnap her or something? Or her marriage to him was unhappy? WE DON'T KNOW.
If I was immersed into the story, I’d avoid Edward and Bella. All the other characters are pretty great though.
Bella's character in the movie was a miserable wet blanket with no personality. I found her to be exceptionally annoying.
Edward was your typical emo guy. I accidentally ended up watching the movie after i fell asleep on the couch after work watching a movie. When i woke up. I was wide awake at one in the morning. So happens the beginning twinkle was on. So i watched it. At the end i just said, "That's it?"
That's what all the guss was about over those movies all those years ago.
She is writing at least two more books as we speak
i would love to know about the werewolves was disappointed that you online hear about them once or the origin of The vampire
I couldn’t care less about Jacob. In the books he is more annoying.
Technically it was about Edward and Bella when you read the books but the books are better and add more to the story.. other characters have more action. 🤷🏻♀️
edward ruined bella life
The Volturi remind me of the ORIGINALS LOL
that is true
They should have killed off a main character. Alice or Jasper.
Here is a theory : the reason Edward could not read Bella's thoughts is because Bella was acoustic
Or it’s because she subconsciously learned how to protect her mind. FYI, Bella’s “shield” is based on facts. I keep my guard up in order to protect myself. It’s basically the same thing that Bella’s doing (she gets that from Charlie)
more like an immune response to being near psychic abilities like a mind scab
What about Rosalie back story too
So, you want to highlight, Twilight?
Alright.
I hated Edward and Bella 😂
Step 1 to making the movies better. Remove the stupid blue filter
