Let me first say, a lot of you are wrong in HOW you judge Twilight. I myself was one of them. I even went as far to tell someone (before I watched it) that Twilight was shit and they rightly said to me "How do you know if you've never seen it?". He was right completely. I called Twilight shit because of Newgrounds. I hadn't even heard of the series before until there were new topics on the film/fangirls like everyday, so I discovered that Twilight was some shitty book about a vampire turned into a shitty film about a vampire.

Wrong.

Twilight is first and foremost a teenage romance novel. The vampire twist is just what makes it different from your typical 'boy meets girl' story.

When I realised that I was completely wrong to judge this series as a vampire story that's when I started to like Twilight. 9 times out of 10 a vampire story is a horror. This isn't a horror, it's romance. So you simply cannot compare it with the great vampires of our filming generation, because it isn't tying to be that, not at all.

Sure, Edward is not a 'real' vampire (as real as the other fake things anyway). There is no law though that says that a writer cannot take a concept and build from there. It happens all the time, and there is nothing wrong with how Stephenie Meyer did it. Like all of you I do prefer my vampires to be brooding angry blood suckers (See Christoper Lee & Buffy series) who burn in the sun instead of just sparkling like dear Edward, but at the same time there is nothing wrong with that. If people really find this as a reason to dislike Twilight then they should get pissed everytime they read a story involving a human who has super powers. It's the exact same thing. It's taking an idea and then adding details to make the character different. So Meyer took the idea of a vampire, made it sparkle and run like the wind and everyone gets pissed. Other writers take the idea of a human, add inhuman strength and a hard childhood and bravo we have a new superhero to admire.

It's called writing. Get over it.

And another thing, so I hear the books are poorly written, well I actually intend to read the book myself now and see, but even if it is kind of basic, so what? Any book that gets kids reading (Harry Potter as a big example) is a good book. It's amazing to see kids interested in reading, so who cares if she's lacking in the proverbs department or something. It's the story that gets people interested not the writing.

If you're just pissed off with Twilight because of the fangirls well I can hardly blame you for that, but there are fangirls/boys for everything. These Twilight freak fans are no worse then HP fangirls (I'm one fo sho), and even your nerdy Trek fans or Stargate fans, whatever. Sure girls are more highpitched and jumpy and appear more annoying then nerd fans but they all love their series the same.

The only bit I really thought was stupid (besides the sparkling vampire) was when Bella was in hospital, Edward said he should leave and she was all like nearly crying, looking mad "No you can't leave me, I need you!". It was a bit well totally fucking posessive and surely even a vampire would be weirded out by it. After all, this is a guy who nearly killed her by drinking her blood for too long. Most girls would be happy for a little space.

So yes, I intended to make this short but I guess I got carried away.

So lets;

Tl;dr: Stop calling something shit BEFORE you've even seen it. You cannot judge a book by it's cover and even more you cannot judge something based on the opinion of other people who are brooding like vampires. Twilight IS a teenage romance novel first, it is NOT trying to be a vampire horror, which is what the brooding fuckers keep forgetting. Stephenie Meyers is allowed to create whatever she wants in fiction, even if it's not the typical type of creatures we're used to seeing, that's because the typical type of vampire isn't usually a 17 year old male in love with a human. If you want to hate on Twilight, then read/watch it first then think about it from a teenage girls point of view (that is who the books are reaching out for after all), then see if it's as shit as you think.

PS: My Tl;dr: is too long. Just stop fucking moaning about something you've not read/watched ok.

BRB, buying the book.
