I love the twilight series

Okay, so I'm not a pure Twilight fan, and have only read the first and second books, but I still enjoy the series. This has been making me wonder since the very beginning: Why does Edward love Bella? There really is no reason why he should love her--she's described as not that cute, sort of Tomboyish, and there is nothing really written in the book that describes how fun/sweet/awesome/etc that she is to Edward that would actually attract him to her in the first place.

The only reasons I was able to come up with were that he loves her scent, and he can't read her mind. But that doesn't seem like that would make a relationship grow strong and last.


Personally, I believe the movie to be a bit of a let-down. After all they hype and everyone pre-ordering their tickets, it was one of the WORST movies I have ever seen--I thought the plot was okay and that it flowed pretty smoothly; although I felt that had I not read the series, I would have wondered how they went from loathing each other to in love with each other. Not to mention that that was a little confusing--the cast was bad! Robert Pattinson is the last thing from "perfect" that I can ever imagine--why didn't they just go with Tom Sturridge in the first place? In addition, Bella was too pretty.

Could Twilight be polluting the minds of naive teenage girls? If you read the book and take everything for exactly as it's written on the page--Edward is a stalker and he wants to kill her in the beginning. Could this be sending the wrong message to the girls who use this book practically as their dating bible? Personally, if I woke up and a guy I didn't know so well was standing at the foot of my bed--the last thing I would do is fall in love with him!

I recently found some comments here, toward the bottom of the page, that suggest that the plot of Twilight (as well as some dialogue and scenes) could've been plagiarized from the Vampire Diaries series written by L.J. Smith.

Some excerpts from the comments:

J. Wilson:

"Not only are they similar in plot and with respect to mythical creatures but Twilight steals characters, events and even dialogue!!!"

"The iconic Meadow scene from Twilight = the scene with Stefan and Damon (he rips a tree from the ground and whips around the forest to show his spead and stregnth)"

"The ballet studio with the mirrors where James waits for Bella = a dream where Elena is walking down a mirrored hall to meet Damon (both the bad guys)"

Kate L:

"Both feature a female protagonist who falls in love with a Vampire who is actually hundreds of years old, but pretends to be a normal teen, who is incredibly good looking, strong, good senses ect… Both try and only feed off animals, leave humans in peace and try to be good. Both are morally guilty, and consider themselves evil. Both are incredibly drawn to the female protagonist, like they are soulmates, but at first try to hold back to protect her."

"The plot in both books features a strong evil vampire who wants the female protagonist, who is madly in love with a weak good vampire."

"This is just what I came up with in 10 minutes, the similarities don’t stop there. Some of these things are associated with the genre, but are still relevant, there are plenty of series’ for example, the Vampire beach series that avoid these cliches."



Just thought it would be interesting to discuss, especially if anybody has read the Vampire Diaries and can provide further insight.

*SPOILER*
In Breaking Dawn, Bella and Jake fall in love and kiss, but isn't it strange that Bella does this with Jake when she supposedly is in love (which is what we're led to believe through her constant babble) with Edward? Isn't it confusing as to how she can love two beings who completely hate each other based on race.

My dear Amboo7 trolling b***h. I'd have to say that it was not. And I haven't seen it. And I likely wont. The best movie in the world would have to be....ah I don't know. I don't have the kind of power to declare the best movie in the world.


Um, excuse me, I don't pop by this thread as often as I used to, so I might be missing something, but is this rudeness really necessary? She's expressing an opinion in a mostly inoffensive manner. Why did you call her a b***h?


discussion-lacking comment = "breaking the rules" = getting flamed by other users

That's just how Gaia is. No - that's how the Internet is. Yeah, it's rude... but I've learned to just accept it. There's no such thing as mercy in online communities.


This is a little bit random but I do love your avi :]


Haha, thanks

o hai! U can DENIFITELY haz moar striprz!
I have to say that I love the twilight books and movies. I love its magical aspects and how opposites can seek love in each other. Also how a vampire fell deeply in love with a normal human girl. Thats like the most popular guy falling in love with a geeky chick.(Of course every girl dreams of that.) And i love how protective edward is over bella, and how he loves her, even though shes human and okay looking. But the thing i dislike about the twilight books is that bella only marries edward for sex. For sex!? Yes i know right. Thats just wrong. Doesn't she know edward loves her! Just to tell the truth i hate bella swan, because she marries edward for sex instead of love, and that edward loves her. I wish edward loved me! But i have to tell myself he isn't real. So yeah. Thats all i have to say about the twilight books. Also a other thing there awesome! (: Lol



P.S. I Love edward! Team edward!
