Pattinson spent the entire commentary tracks for the DVDs completely making fun of the entire thing and himself. Some of it honestly rivals the Rifftrax. https://ew.com/article/2009/03/23/twilight-dvd-ro/ "Pattinson: I bet you that everyone would hate me. I mean, I just look at me walking around with, like, my little peacoat on, little customized peacoat…."

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Probably part of why the books inspired so much fanfiction. Even EL James looks at this and goes "I can do that. I can do better than that." And yet Stephenie Meyer blows EL James out of the water with plot, characterization, dialogue, descriptions, pacing, grammar, everything. It's not calling Meyer good, but that's literally how terrible James' writing is.

Bella mentioning her CD player reminded me that Meyer had her own playlist of songs that she used while writing her "very visual, movie-like" book. https://stepheniemeyer.com/the-books/twilight/twilight-playlist/

quote:I should point out before we meet them that Carlisle is the only member of the Cullen family to never kill a human being. All of them, Edward especially, have a high enough body count to be considered mass murderers. Rose only killed 7 people in her life, and that was all revenge-motivated and she's never once drunk human blood. Her record is pretty good for a vampire. Which makes all the whinging about newborns being unable to control their thirst in the later books pretty stupid. There's two in this clan alone that can point out that that's wrong.

Freesias aren't mouthwatering. Bella should smell like a rare prime rib or a bag of pennies to him.

I still think Rose counts as being just as good as Carlisle. She's never drunk human blood either and she's never slipped and accidentally killed people. Only straight up done it on purpose.

Remember when she decided to make a short spin off book of any character she wanted, and instead of picking literally anyone more interesting than Bella, she wrote a story about Bree Tanner? The second most irritating teen brunette with boy crushes in the series. gently caress, even Tyler would have been more interesting.

They must have left out all the parts where Jasper takes out an entire school and Alice has to stage a freak gas line explosion to cover it up every time he loses his poo poo at a kid getting nailed in the face with a kickball in gym class. Also Emmett would totally have a birthday party every year. Don't him and Rosalie have multiple weddings just for the parties and for another excuse to knock down a house with their vampire loving?

chitoryu12 posted:I hate to disappoint you, but this series never has vampire hunters or anything of the sort. I'm not even sure if they get mentioned. Carlisle's dad and his ragtag Pastor gang I guess. I don't know exactly how they fight them though, as Twilight vamps have pretty much no weaknesses for a human to use.

Jasper's emotion powers. And Aro and Edward can't read her mind, but Alice can read her future and Marcus can read her relationship status. It never made sense to me either. What's the difference between Jasper mentally affecting her mood and Jane mentally affecting her pain receptors?

So far the weirdest thing is finding out Meyer's least favourite food is shepherd's pie, while her favourite is beef and potatoes.

Does this treaty cover injections of syringes of vampire venom? At least one of the Cullens should have a law degree by now to finagle their way out of this rule.

I like how there's so little plot or tension in these books that I'm not sure if we're in the epilogue of the last book, or the new one has started.

Meyers is right up there with JK Rowling with overexplaining nonsense outside of the books to answer questions we didn't need answers about. Wizards wear robes so they can easily take dumps in the hallway! Vampires can blink because their venom also lubes up their eyes!

Has Meyer ever talked about what happens to a gay guy who imprints on a woman or if guys can imprint on guys? Cuz I'd like to see if her thoughts on that would rival Anne McCaffrey's Pern when it comes to homosexuality.

I love how every side character and society is so much more interesting than Bella, and yet when Meyer did a novella in the Twilight universe, out of all the possible options for a protagonist? loving Bree Tanner, the mousy brunette teenage girl with boy problems.

Do you think the Jasper embroidered on the tags of his clothes are from the costumer or it's just exacting detail for the character? Because I like imagining Esme sewing the names of her kids' on their new school outfits for decades.

I'm just side eyeing at both Alice and Rosalie wearing long silvery white gowns to someone else's wedding. I can see Rose doing it to be a bitch, but I thought better of Alice!

Someone post the screencap from the movie where Kristen Stewart is looking at her new baby bump in the mirror saying that it's impossible, but it's just her perfectly flat stomach. I literally laughed at that part.

WHY IS EVERYONE SHOCKED BELLA CAN GO WITHOUT EATING PEOPLE Canonically, there are already two other vampires in the loving coven that have never drunk human blood in their lives. Carlisle and Rosalie both went through being a newborn and never got overwhelmed by bloodlust and drank anyone. Dunno about Rose, but Carlisle was hiding in some dude's house while he transformed and would have been around way more fresh blood when he turned newborn. Bella had actual months to prepare for this and everyone is like ohhhhhh shiiiiiiit how are you doing the same thing that 2/7 members of this family have already done. That's loving craaaaaazy, Bella!

Rose straight up curbstomps 7 guys to death as a newborn and doesn't drink any of them, while Bella doesn't drink one hiker after getting a whiff from far away. Whatever control Bella has, Rose has to have far more. Edward is just being a dick here.

So do none of the female hybrids have venom at all? Don't the Twilight vampires use venom in their bodies to basically heal all their permanent injuries and give them the super strength and junk?

Should I write a novella in my universe about the Egyptian man who can control the elements, or the Native woman who is the only female werewolf in her pack, or the African women with illusion superpowers? No, we need another view from a mousy white teenage girl with boy troubles.

Just like how Jasper is cool with Bella bleeding out in the backseat behind him, but she gets a literal paper cut in the next book and he tries to kill his whole family in order to get a taste of that sweet blood.
