Why do you love twilight?

Question

please read everything before answering
and if possible let me allow myself to email you if necessary(:


i seriousley can't understand why people like it. 
the only people that like those books is the ones that dont take any time to read good literature.
this is why i hate it

1) It's poorly written. Stephen King can back me up on SMeyer being a horrible writer.
2) Those are not vampires, they're sparkly fags. And by fag, I don't mean gay, I mean fag.
3) Edward is a 107 year old virgin. Can you say pathetic?
4) Bella has no redeeming qualities; she's a very weak main character. Physically she isn't strong. She can't run away right even; she trips too much. She's not smart, either, she's almost brain dead (come on, how long did it take her to figure out Edward was a vampire again?). She's not very pretty. She's not nice; she treats her friends horribly, and wants nothing to do with normal boys who aren't monsters. Somehow, everyone loves her, despite all this, which only makes her even more dislikable.
5) There is no plot. Or, if there is, it was so small I missed it.
6) Edward is abusive and a stalker.
7) Bella has absolutely no opposition to Edward stalking her. (In Buffy the Vampire slayer, Buffy tells Angel that girls don't like being stalked. She actually had brain and knew that stalking isn't hot, even though Angel is. She doesn't like it when Spike stalks her, either. She's a slayer and even she's normal enough to know that stalking isn't a turn on.)
8) Love at first sight isn't real. I know a lot of other stories use this, but you can't know a person's soul, who they really are, by just looking at them. Sure, you can get some idea's that may or may not be right, but you can't actually know deep into that person.
9) Jacob never had a chance. There was no second in the books when I thought she might have possibly picked him.
10) The book contradicts itself. First, vampires can't have children because the sperm is dead or something. Then, Bella ends up pregnant. Okay, pick a story and stick to it, Smeyer! Either they can or can't have children, not both!
11) She almost kills herself after they break up after going out for like a month. Great family values you're teaching there, Smeyer.
12) Bella's a little brat to her father.
13) It's extremely boring. I don't know how I even got through them…
14) The entire idea for the series, a vampire and human in love, is extremely cliché.
15) The fan girls of the series are ridiculous.
16) The movies are just talking heads. They're, if possible, as boring as the books.
17) The movies cast terrible actors/actresses. Kristen Steward never smiles and always wears the same expression, Robert Patterson is ugly with all that horrible make up on, Taylor Lautner has spray on abs.
18) When Bella becomes a vampire she's basically invincible with her super shield. There's no real battle or challenge.
19) It approves of pedophilia.
20) There's a Disney ending. Everyone's happy, no one's suffering, and everything works out for everyone. (Both Jacob and Edward get someone, along with all the original couples still being together and alive.) All the bad guys are gone, and good wins at no real cost.

AMEN SISTER. I say the majority of the fans are just ditzy teens who think they can "relate" to Bella saying that no one understand them and that the only boys out there for them are fictional characters.

I loved the twilight series!! Anyway i would recommend The Host by Stephenie Meyer: The Host is a science fiction/romance novel by Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight series. The Host introduces an alien race, called souls, who take over Earth and its inhabitants because they believe humans to be too violent. The book describes one soul's predicament when her host body refuses to cooperate with her takeover. I would also recommend: Damaged by cathy glass and Cut by Cathy Glass very good books to read!!

Wow, somebody had a lot of time on their hands!

But really, I agree with you.  I think you'll find that quite a few people in the world agree with you, actually.  The people who actually like twilight just make a huge deal out of it, so it seems more popular than it is.

Unfortunately, the next movie is being made into two parts (Harry Potter wannabe!!!), so the world will have to live with it for the next two years.  But after the movie is done, Twilight is over with and will NOT be remembered.  

It's just a stupid little fad that teens like right now.  In about 5 years people will be like, "Twilight?  what's that?  Or do you mean the Twilight zone?"  The twilight zone is way more memorable than stephenie meyer's crap.

I think you ask a really great question!  What IS the draw to Twighlight?  There are so many people who "hate" the books but cannot stop reading them...why is that?

Personally, I think S. Meyers has brilliantly hit on a draw most females have buried in their subconscious:  very plain, nothing-out-of-the-ordinary girl gets the bad-boy-gone-good (and only for her).  Every female's fantasy!  (If this were not the case, why would Johnny Depp and Harley Davidson bikers be such a turn-on?)

Like or dislike the series, Stephenie Meyers knows how to pull in her female audience.  More power to her!

I agree with you for the most part, even though I read the books and liked them for the simple fact that they involve absolutely no thinking and they are an easy escape and food for the imagination, they are not complicated, you don't have to figure things out..... people post stories and stuff on here and a lot of them are inspired by Twilight........everything you pick up in a bookstore is about vampires.......personally I'm vampired out....

Marcus · Answer

I thought the length and detail used in the book was quite well thought out, but the plot and turning points of the story is terrible

Susanna · Answer

Ok I agree with most of that (they're not good books) except
3.-not pathetic, it's a good thing
11.-she's not trying to kill herself, and she also teaches a great family value-they wait till they're married
14.-it's only cliché now because of all the vampire books spawned from Twilight
17.-quite real abs:)
19.-that's not pedophilia, he's frozen as a young man, and those years don't change him into any form of a 'pedophile'
I know it sound's like I'm defending it, and I'm not, I just disapprove of your close-minded stubbornness of finding reasons to hate it

Sophie C · Answer

The thing I don't get with all these twilight haters is why the hell do you read the whole series!! If you hated it that much don't read the next book!! Seriously you twilight haters are weirder than twilight lovers as you put so much passion into hating something when really if you didnt like it forget it. I neither love or hate twilight, but to me the twilight haters are crazier

MJ · Answer

Wow. So you actually spent worthwhile time sitting there and typing this all out sometime in the past week or so? Good god, come on. I mean, okay, we get it, the series sucks but you don't have to take it so seriously. Who are you trying to convince? 

Hardcore haters are just as annoying as hardcore fans. Do people not realize this?
