While I was aware of its existence I never read or watched any of this series and this thread is quite a revelation.

quote:”You don’t realize how incredibly breakable you are. I can never, never afford to lose any kind of control when I’m with you.” Eddie must really blow a load. Also Gatlinburg holy poo poo, that place is in the dictionary under the entry for “tourist trap.”

So Bella was just going to saunter into a gang rape because it reminded her of a time Eddie saved her?

chitoryu12 posted:I think it’s differing opinions on a “flawed protagonist.” We generally want our viewpoint character to be complex and flawed but also likable and pleasant to follow. Bella is flawed, but in ways that make her aggravating to be around, and it’s hard to tell where character moments are supposed to be intentionally showing that complexity or if they’re Meyer not getting how relationships and emotions work. I think you really hit it here. Compare Bella to the main character (or any character really) in Mr. Robot, where everyone is a terrible person in their own way but it’s still a compelling story.

Wow what the gently caress happened to two of the least unlikeable characters in the story? That is horrifyingly rapey by Jacob and her loving dad is cheering it on? gently caress.

chitoryu12 posted:I just can't believe what the hell happened. Is Meyer trying to make all of the characters unlikable so Bella looks better and more reasonable by comparison when she acts like a bitch? Does she actually not think what Jacob did is that big of a deal? That last question is worrisome and it is really hard not to infer author’s life experience from writing things like that and not pointing out how terrible they are.

Stuff like that makes me kind of interested in the werewolf story again but then I remember RAPE RAPE RAEP and yeah, naw. I can’t really see the appeal either. While we can all joke about teenage girls’ psychology as much as we want, I have a hard time believing that so many people would either identify with one of these awful characters or at the very least want to see them succeed. See you all in the Control thread! Midjack fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Feb 28, 2020 |
