I just figured I would correct a few things to make your rant make a little more sense to me.
Protanganist: is not a fangirl of anything more than old literature clearly referenced in the books.
My turn: she obsesses over Edward. Edward, Edward! Oh, Edward! Allow me to explain in as many words as I can how much I love you for 200 pages!
Also the no brain part made me smile since she is portrayed as an intelligent young girl with great studdy skills I might add.
The fact that you spelled "study" the way you did makes me smile. She's portrayed as having booksmarts but she's a complerte ditz, especially for Mr. Sparkle.
At no point does the character show herself to be brainless (unless your refering to her break up period)
The breakup period is just when her idiocy reaches its peak.
she, meyer, is trying to show the wallowing of a person when their first love leaves which many people can relate
:lol:
I would think at tleast that is what people on here tell guys showing up saying they are heart broken and will never fall in love again after the break up of the first love.
:lol:
The main character never tries to kill herself either.
She leaps off a cliff. Half the plot is Edward going to kill himself because he thinks Bella is dead, a la Romeo & Juliet.
Also everyone thinks that their first love was PERFECT.
Most people realise their mistake, especially when their one true love either hurts them like hell, dumps them, leaves them for dead in the woods, or is a hundred years older than them.
She also is insecure not egotistical which is shown as well many times over in the books.
Oh yes, the shallow brat who's really just a wilting flower on the inside. :lol:
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.
Edward cullen is showed for his insecurities in the final book
It only took four books to reveal a flaw in a pivotal character!
and is shown not to be perfect either which explains his obsessive behavior.
His obsessive behavior is just part of his charm, one of the "little things" that make him even more perfect.
Also no ones bones are broken during sex in the books only during "fight" scenes and birth scenes.
Dur-hur-hur? Didn't I say during fight scenes and birth scenes?
Also if your talking about earlier inthe series he was mean to get her to go away so he didn't eat her, showing he isn't just some sweet perfect vampire.
No, showing that he's so strong that he'd hurt her if they got together. Basically, even more perfect than perfect.
Also if you are talking about his attitude later she becomes his wife who isn't protective (if overly) of their wives.
He stalks her long before they marry. I've read the Midnight Sun leak.
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?
The werewolves were "boring because the books did not focus on them since in the second book their story is told and some in the third so not much else is needed for characters that dont matter but for extras.
Here's a hint: good writing doesn't have worthless, bland "extras" for characters. They don't have alternate plotlines that make no impact on the actual plot.
Also it happens in the other books as well "imprinting" is not love it is a connection which can become love the one imprinted on has a choice in the matter.
Oh, good! So being attracted to an infant is justified.
The werewolves never say that the people will be their mates they are just the people they have a strong connection with.
A love connection.
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.
The "hell child" is not big the child is dieing inside her womb because the placenta is broken away causing the child to suffiecate and thrash inside her causing the pain and broekn bones. Bella's character could not have become a vampire because it was not agreed upon in the first book or the vapires aware of the pregnancy possiblity since they are seen by all (the cullens being1 of only two small group of vegetarians)vampires as food not sexual partners.
These two sentences make no sense at all.
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.
there is nothing pedo about it since pedophiles go after prepubescent chilldren.
. . . . . . . .Children below legal age, actually, but, uh, 100 years her senior, that's enough for me to think, "Hm, these guys live so long; just what is their legal age?"
the worst it can be called is statitory rape, BIG maybe though. ( since I don't have time to look up washingtons legal age of consent.
Much better!
Finally, the books apparently portray some Mormon message.
where?
A message is not explicit. It's what you glean from the books. Meyer herself is also a Mormon, so it only makes sense.
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.
