Much Needed Criticism- Twilight

Alrite. Everybody’s heard of the twilight craze. Well, here are some things about the twilight craze that need to be said.

     Twilight is the story of an emotionally unstable emo named Bella, and her adventures with man hunk Edward. The storyline is like this.

Bella forgets to take Ritalin.

Bella makes friends!

Vampire Man hunk Edward finds her to be a vampire-friendly variety of heroin grown with eleven herbs and spices.

They go on fun happy adventures and look at pianos.

Evil vampire man James sees Edward playing baseball; mistakes him for a cubs fan and swears vengeance on Edward

Jacob dies, Edward manages to suck out the poison from Bella without killing her against all odds, like who knew?

. The book is full of events that totally help to speed up the plotline. Nothing adds to the tension of a duel between ferocious vampires like a 2 page detailed description of Bella’s aquiring a 1970’s chevy truck.

Stephanie Meyer is the author. Don’t mess with her. She uses BIG WORDS.

The movie was the cinema equivelant of drinking three quarts of bleach while on LSD.

Well, of course, I tried to contact the Author:

Pace51: Hello, Stefanie Meyer?

Stefanie Meyer: Speaking?

Pace51: Could I talk to you concerning twilight?

Stefanie Meyer: Oh, that would UNDOUBTEDLY spice up this EQUILIBRIUM of thoughts in my head that have been constantly RECURRING. Like a CHASM of OBSCURITY.
Pace51: Are you on something? Alrite. I’ve been doing some research, and I noticed a strange fact. The book series called “The vampire diaries” came out about 20 years before you wrote your book. Both series have Vampires. Each has werewolves. Each has one girl forced to choose between hunks.
Stefanie Meyer: That is correct…
Pace51: But that’s not the strange part. I noticed that the hero of the Vampire diaries was Stefan. The hero of twilight was Edward. But, here’s the weird part. You and Stefan have the same birth dates, the same interests, even the same eye colour for goodness sakes! So my question is-
Pace51: Why do I hear a car starting up?
Stefanie Meyer: Complete CALISTHENICS with your APPENDAGES and run, EDDIE! HE’S ONTO US!
Stefanie Meyer: Phew. We have VANISHED. Now no one will find out about my sex change or SCHITZOPHRENIA so that I can spend ETERNITY with you, Edward!
Pace51: Your phone is still on, you know.

The twilight book has slightly more action than “The last Song”, is more original than a documentary, and reads like the ingredients on the back of a box of Cheerio’s.

However, it teaches us important life lessons:

Pale emo chicks get all the hunks

Spouting gay expressions about bestiality to people while hanging from trees is sexy.

On a concluding note:

Stefanie Meyer should be sued for letting them show Twilight on the big screen. All it takes is one kid with epilepsy to walk into the theatre during the sparkly Edward scene.

Your thoughts on Twilight?

Never seen either of the movies nor read any of the books. I might get stoned one day and watch the movies to see if that helps numb the pain.

I heard about the movie " Remember me". It must be good because Pattinson dies in the end.

How Twilight Works
A few weeks ago I had the miserable experience of reading Twilight. A friend bought it for me and I took it with me to read on a long flight from Seattle to Houston.  I knew it was going to be crappy, but I thought it would be a guilty pleasure kind of crappy - where you know it's bad but you still get enjoyment out of it. I actually managed to power through around 400 pages until I gave up and started reading Sky Mall. I've been seeing Twilight everywhere lately, especially with Vampire Teens II New Moon's release, so I thought I'd break down why chicks go apeshit for it.
https://theoatmeal.com/img/stories/twilight/fans.png
First off, the author creates a main character which is an empty shell. 
Her appearance isn't described in detail; that way, any female can slip into it and easily fantasize about being this person.
I read 400 pages of that book and barely had any idea of what the main character looked like; as far as I was concerned she was a giant Lego brick.
Appearance aside, her personality is portrayed as insecure, fumbling, and awkward - a combination anyone who ever went through puberty can relate to.
By creating this "empty shell,"  the character becomes less of a person and more of something a female reader can put on and wear.
Because I forgot her name (I think it was Barbara or Brando or something like that), I'm going to refer to her as "Pants" from here on out.
https://theoatmeal.com/img/stories/twilight/pants.png
So after a few chapters of listening to Pants whine about high school, sucking at volleyball, and being the center of attention, the second major character is introduced. 
Imagine everything women want in a man, then exaggerate it by ten thousand - and you've got Edward Cullen.
The level of detail that the author goes into while describing Edward's appearance is remarkable. 
At one point while reading I started counting the number of times the author used the expression "Edward's perfect face,"  and it was far into the double digits.
The author excruciatingly details his muscular pecs, clothing, hair, eye color - even his goddamn breath (I'm not joking).
https://theoatmeal.com/img/stories/twilight/edward.png
Edward intensely listens to everything Pants has to say, even if she's bitching about she had diarrhea on Christmas or her preferred method for cutting a sandwich in half.
As far as the reader is concerned, Edward cares about nothing in the world more than Pants.
What the author has done is created a perfect male figure - a pale Greek statue which the reader can worship and in turn be worshipped by.
https://theoatmeal.com/img/stories/twilight/vampires.png


So what about men that like Twilight?
If you're male and you like Twilight, you're gay.  I don't mean that in the derogatory sense, I mean it in the "you want to put your testicles against another man's testicles while gripping handfuls of chesthair" kind of way.


And the movie?
The movie is just the same uninspired crap shat out onto a film reel. If you like the taste of horse manure on your bologna sandwiches, you're probably gonna like it on your birthday cake as well.  The same principle applies with Twilight.



Beyond that, it's just a romance novel with the occasional vampire teen drama bullshit peppered here and there.  It doesn't really break any new ground in the realm of vampire fiction, other than portraying vampires as a family of uncomfortable retards who prance around the woods eating deer and bunny rabbits.  There's lots of nervous lip-biting,  tender kisses between Pants and Edward,  and lengthy descriptions of every feature of Edward's body. Pants is a static character who never really progresses beyond being an insecure vampire fangirl who obsesses over Edward. Whether her character grows beyond that is unknown to me, I'd stopped reading by then and shifted my attention to an electric butt-massaging chair in Sky Mall.
