Do you hate Twilight? I do. And the fan girls scare me.

The reason why is because for one, it's very over rated. I have read all four books and it's not that great. The crazy fangirls say this book is better than Shakesphere and any other book ever made and I'm just like WTF. And another thing is the movie. The fangirls say it's the best movie ever made. That's why it took every award at the MTV movie awards. I almost got killed at the book store once for telling a bunch of Edward-lovers that Twilight was over rated. I mean it's scary. People are obssesed with it. They would die for it. Here is an example:

See what I mean? It's the book for Midnight Sun, a view from Edward's prespective. And now I find out my GF is a fangirl. Now I'm forced to go theought more Twilight Hell and I'm not able to read my Japanese Manga because she wants me to read Twilight with her. Seriously, what's going on with these people? What do you think about this?

I've never read it or seen the movie, but I don't see what all of the hype is about.

I guess it just doesn't appeal to me.

Selena Rash's post there made me laugh. "AND THIS HAS MADE MEMELANCHOLY." I think Stephenie Meyer has a rival. I dislike the series and the fangirls annoy me. >.>

I rented the movie, I liked it because of the girls. the one that saw the future was smokin'

I hate the book and I hate the fanbase (which is directed at 12 year old girls).

for the last time we arent the target audience. yet there is a thread on this everday..

I'm not a fan of that trendy crap neither. Luckily I've never met any fangirls or "boys".

Thats creepy.

Never seen the movie or read the book. Fanboys/girls just scare me in general. :?

i despise twilight. from a society standpoint, and a literary standpoint. for a start, it's very badly written. every other sentence starts with "i", and it uses the same words over and over again. couldn't Meyer use a thesaurus to make it more poetic and metaphorical? it also has very poor character development. the characters are very 2 Dimensional. It also is full of plot holes. Twilight also destorys what makes vampires cool and scary. But in twilight, they're beautiful loving creatures that are vegetarians and sparkle in the sun? why? just why? it's not even a vampire series. it's a romance series with "vampires" and "werewolves" as an added bonus.

and yes. its fanbase is quite irritating. as a member of the gothic subculture, i can't help but find them especially irritating. they all just walk into hop topic, Buy everything with Edward's face on it, and think that they're goth. i've also discovered that recently, there have been reports of rabid twilight fans getting violent because they can't accept the cold hard truth about it. how this series became so popular is beyond me.

The books are pretty terrible (for too many reasons to list) but are worth reading if only for the sheer unintentional hilarity. The movie had some nice scenery and a good soundtrack. The movie is alot more bearable.

I dont hate it, i thought the movie was better than i expected but it as still only OK and not worthy of any awards.

*prepares flamesheild* *grabs sword*

...I actually liked Twilight. However, I am not a rabid fangirl who would thinks its the best series/book in the world. I found the book to be entertaining, but I'm aware that there a MUCH better books to be read out there. I also think the same thing about the movie. It was entertaining for me, but again, there are so much better movies out there.

The following rant may contain spoilers.

Twilight and its three sequels are physical proof that people will buy, and highly enjoy, any steaming pile of crap that passes as entertainment.

Twilight is horrible. There is not one redeeming factor of that **** series. The protagonist? An obsessive fangirl not unlike the readers of this travesty with absolutely no brain whatsoever; a sexist portrayal of women as mindless drones in need of their man. And if their man goes away? Wallow in shallow misery until you eventually decide to commit suicide in despair. Nevermind that there are plenty of average boys around who--my God--are nice, and actually care; they aren't perfect. Bella treats the not perfect boys in the book as nerds and unworthy of her fabulous platinum ass. Bella is portrayed as a too-cool-for-school perfect chick who could piss on a plate and not splash.

Edward Cullen. Dear, sweet, merciful lord, Edward Cullen. I can get over the sparkly vampire thing. No, really, I can. In fact, I almost commend Meyer for throwing in a tinge of creativity in her vampires. But Edward Cullen is the most uninteresting character ever made in teen girls fiction (that is saying way too much). Like Bella, he's a shining example of perfection that no other man (or woman or vampire or werewolf) could ever possibly hope to achieve, except for his love, of course. Oh, and he's abusive as hell. Treats Bella like crap, under the pretense that it's for her own good. Why? Because sex with a vampire is deadly to people, because they apparently **** you so hard that they break your bones. No, really. It happens in the book.

The werewolves. I can't even remember their names, they were so damn boring. Apparently Bella has an on-off with one for a little while, resulting in an oh-so-disgusting love triangle between her, him, and Mr. Sparkle. There's nothing particularly wrong with any of them (except for the one that tries to kill Bella or something), until the very end of the book. Brace yourself: a werewolf "imprints" upon Bella's new hellchild (we'll get more on that in a moment). What is "imprinting" in the wonderful world of Meyer? Why, the werewolf fell in love with her and immediately named her his future mate. Yeah, nothing disturbing about that crap at all, is there?

Bella's hellchild. Apparently, the human/vampire mutant offspring is so unbelievably huge that he breaks Bella's spine during birth. So our Perfect Fanged Hero saves the day by performing a c-section on his Miss Piss On a Plate with his teeth. Yeah. Then Bella becomes a vampire, something that could easily have been done in the very first book to avoid the whole "Break Bella's body by having sex with her unconscious self (yes, that's how she gets pregnant) and then letting her bear her demonspawn" thing.

By the way, Edward, while appearing to be a seventeen-year-old boy, is actually 117 years old. Bella is actually 17. Nothing pedo about that crap.

Finally, the books apparently portray some Mormon message.

The Twilight Saga is hideous, repugnant garbage, and the fact that it was published (let alone accepted by such a huge amount of people with such praise) is an abomination on authors and publishers and editors that have actually worked and made good literature that is completely overlooked in favor of **** like this. And the completely obsessed fanbase is pathetic; people weeping over the New Moon trailer and nine-year-old girls setting themselves up for disappointment because they can no longer fathom dating a guy (or girl) as perfect as Edward.

I am in support of the theory that Stephanie Meyer is in fact J.K. Rowling in disguise, and one day soon she'll be at a book signing and will suddenly stand up, tear off the mask, drop the many balloons she is holding under her clothes to give the appearance of weight, and deflate her lips so she can shout, "Got ya! Thanks for improving my Harry Potter sales, morons!"

Because I would not put it past someone as desperate as Rowling to do something like that.

I can't stand Twilight. I seeth at the very mention of the title. When I see copies at the library, I delete them form the system and throw them away because no one, boy, girl, man or woman, should read that rubbish from that hack writer who is Stephanie Meyer. If I ever see her crossing the street, I will run her over and then rip off my bumper and smash her with it for denting what used to be a good bumper. I hate... er... *ahem*.. I'm done now, sorry.JustPlainLucas

Always glad to kill a Twilight fan.

Yeah... Twilight is scary. A bunch of girls in my class were jumping and screaming for hours because one of them got a t-shirt with the main character on it. They really scare me. It's turning their brains into mush!

I always preferred this. Systematically going over every book and criticizing it is a lot more effective to me. Otherwise, fans could clame they hate the movie but love the books.

Now I'd like to say something. During the past few months, I always thought of Twilight as a sort of literary plague on the female teenage population. But I said to myself "Hey, they're are still plenty of intelligent teenagers out there. I shouldn't let an idiotic few cause me to assume everyone loved it." I also try to stay away from sounding like an elitist, saying I'm better than most of my fellow teenagers. I didn't want to call myself one of the "good" ones. That's arrogant and makes me sound like an even bigger idiot. But recently I came across depressing news. I denied it for many months, but now it is confirmed. I'm sorry guys, we've failed you as a generation. I know I sound overdramatic but, this. . .it's just too widespread. I can't take stupidity on such a level.

On behalf of the sane teenagers left, I apologize.

No I don't hate it I enjoyed them very much I didn't think I would but I read the first one and ended up buying all of them I have read them several times. I don't think they are the greatest ever because i haven't read all the books in the world so that ould be just silly to think, but that said no one can way they are the worst in the world for the same reason.

As for the movie I enjoyed it and bought it but it was pretty bad in terms of effects and stewarts acting wasn't great but I enjoyed it anyways. I am counting down the days for the next film since they say it should be alot better since the budget grew and isn't as small as the first one which is what I blame it being so bad on. I also like the movies because it introduced me to Robert pattinsons acting which I have enjoyed his other films very much he is very talented and has potential I hate that everyone hates him for twilight it's not the only movie he has ever made.

so yeah I like the books and the movie and I'm not crazy. I do understand the scare though of the girls some of them are just young and not understanding of REAL life as they should be.

Twilight is horrible. There is not one redeeming factor of that **** series. The protagonist? An obsessive fangirl not unlike the readers of this travesty with absolutely no brain whatsoever; a sexist portrayal of women as mindless drones in need of their man. And if their man goes away? Wallow in shallow misery until you eventually decide to commit suicide in despair. Nevermind that there are plenty of average boys around who--my God--are nice, and actually care; they aren't perfect. Bella treats the not perfect boys in the book as nerds and unworthy of her fabulous platinum ass. Bella is portrayed as a too-cool-for-school perfect chick who could piss on a plate and not splash.

Edward Cullen. Dear, sweet, merciful lord, Edward Cullen. I can get over the sparkly vampire thing. No, really, I can. In fact, I almost commend Meyer for throwing in a tinge of creativity in her vampires. But Edward Cullen is the most uninteresting character ever made in teen girls fiction (that is saying way too much). Like Bella, he's a shining example of perfection that no other man (or woman or vampire or werewolf) could ever possibly hope to achieve, except for his love, of course. Oh, and he's abusive as hell. Treats Bella like crap, under the pretense that it's for her own good. Why? Because sex with a vampire is deadly to people, because they apparently **** you so hard that they break your bones. No, really. It happens in the book.

The werewolves. I can't even remember their names, they were so damn boring. Apparently Bella has an on-off with one for a little while, resulting in an oh-so-disgusting love triangle between her, him, and Mr. Sparkle. There's nothing particularly wrong with any of them (except for the one that tries to kill Bella or something), until the very end of the book. Brace yourself: a werewolf "imprints" upon Bella's new hellchild (we'll get more on that in a moment). What is "imprinting" in the wonderful world of Meyer? Why, the werewolf fell in love with her and immediately named her his future mate. Yeah, nothing disturbing about that crap at all, is there?

Bella's hellchild. Apparently, the human/vampire mutant offspring is so unbelievably huge that he breaks Bella's spine during birth. So our Perfect Fanged Hero saves the day by performing a c-section on his Miss Piss On a Plate with his teeth. Yeah. Then Bella becomes a vampire, something that could easily have been done in the very first book to avoid the whole "Break Bella's body by having sex with her unconscious self (yes, that's how she gets pregnant) and then letting her bear her demonspawn" thing.

By the way, Edward, while appearing to be a seventeen-year-old boy, is actually 117 years old. Bella is actually 17. Nothing pedo about that crap.

Finally, the books apparently portray some Mormon message.

The Twilight Saga is hideous, repugnant garbage, and the fact that it was published (let alone accepted by such a huge amount of people with such praise) is an abomination on authors and publishers and editors that have actually worked and made good literature that is completely overlooked in favor of **** like this. And the completely obsessed fanbase is pathetic; people weeping over the New Moon trailer and nine-year-old girls setting themselves up for disappointment because they can no longer fathom dating a guy (or girl) as perfect as Edward.

I am in support of the theory that Stephanie Meyer is in fact J.K. Rowling in disguise, and one day soon she'll be at a book signing and will suddenly stand up, tear off the mask, drop the many balloons she is holding under her clothes to give the appearance of weight, and deflate her lips so she can shout, "Got ya! Thanks for improving my Harry Potter sales, morons!"

Because I would not put it past someone as desperate as Rowling to do something like that.

I got more. I could go on for days about this crap.

Everyone here needs to read this. It's lengthy, but you'll enjoy it more than t****light.
