@sammi6695- If by “compassionate” and “selfless”, you mean “creepy” and “stalker-ish”, then sure. I cannot fathom how any self-respecting girl can think an old man (he’s what, 105?) *watching them sleep every night* is romantic. Not to mention at that point, they barely knew each other. A stranger + sneaking into your house + watching you sleep = ultimate in romanticism??? Oh, wait, it’s because he’s hot, right? If someone who actually looked over 100 was watching you sleep, it might be a little different. And you’re as one-sided with your Twilight-love as any hater is, so let’s not be a hypocrite here.

And no, we can’t play nice because it’s such a divisive series. The post was clearly going to be someone who doesn’t like Twilight talking about how they don’t like Twilight. It was pretty much encouraging argument.

PS- If it helps, I find Jar-Jar far more incessantly annoying than Edward. And maybe a few other characters that weren’t on this list. But at least people had the sense to almost uniformly hate Jar-Jar. Why, oh why do so many girls love Edward?
PPS- Spike will always be my favorite vampire.

Look, this is all I’m saying. Yes, they’re acting may get annoying sometimes. But no need to compare to other actors or characters. Buffy was written to be a badass so she was a badass. Edward Cullen wasn’t. So don’t blame or pick at the actor.

And this: “I do not believe you can even judge how someone’s writing is unless you have created writings that have been successful and publicized.” is just silly. What you are essentially saying is that the only people able to judge the quality of someone else’s writing is a successful author. When anyone who has read a fair number and variety of books can determine for themselves what constitutes clever/lazy/insightful/slow/dull/poor/witty/etc..

And WRT your comment to daigojigai, how does your comment contribute any more to the discussion than theirs? There’s a difference between ‘going against original mythology’ and making a badass into a lameass.

What I don’t get (and never will) is that an obvious fan of the books and movies deliberately clicked on a link that was clearly insulting the object of your fandom. If you know it’s something you’re not going to like, why look? Just to troll, right?

- Most of the Cullens speak within the same emotional criteria due to the fact that most have realized that they are damned.

- I’m not sure how you consider Edward a “worthless” creation due to the fact that he is the only vampire that (from what we have seen) has the ability to resist her blood. (Remember that her blood is his favorite “type”)

- To go against original mythology is always something that will be looked down on but at the same will be praised. Those who look down on the contradictions between vampires in Twilight and those in mythology have no open mind to creativity in my opinion.

- The writing is not terrible, I do not believe you can even judge how someone’s writing is unless you have created writings that have been successful and publicized.

- One-Dimensional characters have no ability to learn or adapt, Edward has learned that Werewolves are not horrible people. (This is shown in the scene where Jacob has to be in the tent to keep Bella warm)

@Geekygirluk You honestly have no clue what you are talking about as I can tell you have no sense of all the cracks and hidden corners that reside in the movie.

@daigojigai If you nothing to truly contribute to the community please keep your tunnel-vision effected thinking to yourself.

@cal0105 This is how the public does things and I agree, if you don’t want the person to have attention, don’t give it to them.

Poor spelling (brake/break; excapism/escapism).
Poor grammar (no full stops all…).

Plus, my name clearly states that I’m a girl. Just because we don’t like Twishite doesn’t mean we’re all jealous boyfriends who don’t want our partners drooling over Robert Pattinson or that other guy. If you had read my comments (which you obviously didn’t, did you only read the headline?) you would know that I detest the terrible writing, the slashing of vampire mythology, and the awful emo-passive-idiocy of the one dimensional characters.

If you want to troll, at least have the decency to do it well.

Anyway, i think Edward Cullen and Edward Malus are on the same rowboat. And they’re sinking….

VAMPIRES do NOT sparkle when hit with sunlight, I don’t give a frak how emo or flaming they are!

blasphemy. death to twilight! In a perfect world BLADE would ash those pathetic clowns.

The Opie and Anthony Show. Weekday mornings 6am-11am. Sirius 197, XM 202.

Look it, if these people really aren’t worth paying attention to, then stop paying attention to them. Stop spending your time badmouthing someone you don’t know and go do something else. Be productive. Make something positive. Otherwise, you just sound like whining brats.

I reckon that a few years down the line RP (assuming he has a noted career after this (really, dolleyes? Ten? Wow!) will be saying “Yeah, I hadn’t read them before I started. Didn’t realise what a load of old rubbish it was or how poorly the characters were realised. Stuck with it because I was under contract and I made a buttload of money and got some good exposure” Hmmm…maybe not that last part. I can see him going on to take the Hugh Grant type roles. Foppish English Posh bloke = romcom fodder.
