It seems that nowadays when people mention the words ‘Twilight’, ‘Edward’ hoặc ‘Stephenie Meyer’ a huge thảo luận is formed. People are chẻ, phân chia, split completely down the middle with their tình yêu hoặc hate of the twilight saga, everything seen as either black hoặc white. So here is an opinion from one of the few stuck within the grey area (like, dislike and don’t care either way). Rip this opinion to shreds, tình yêu it hoặc hate it. Tell the world how much twilight rocks, sucks hoặc takes the complete piss out of teenage romance. But please remember this is my opinion and seeing as this place is all about that, please have some respect for it.
I, personally, like the Twilight Saga. Yes, I đã đưa ý kiến it, something which many will now be violently vomiting over hoặc cheering about. I am only talking about the sách in this case; I could not care less for the phim chiếu rạp hoặc Robert Pattinson. I am an original supporter of the novels, something which seems rare these days. However, that of course is another argument entirely. So, let’s discuss some of the negative các bình luận about the books. Hang on to your ghế, chỗ ngồi kids... this may take a while.
1. Vampires don’t sparkle.
This is one of my favourite arguments to why the sách are complete rubbish. In a world where vegetarian vampire ducks and puppet Draculas that tình yêu to count numbers are widely accepted, the little quirk of sparkling in the sunlight has caused so much uproar. Yet, if Stephenie had stuck solely to the way most ma cà rồng are viewed (fangs, burn in sunlight, allergic to garlic etc) she would have been accused of unoriginality and copying the master of horror, Bram Stoker. I admit, sparkling ma cà rồng is hardly menacing, but remember this novel is not within the ‘horror’ genre. It is teenage romance. How many (young) teenagers truly would want a boyfriend with fangs and who could burn in the sunlight? Watering down this version of ma cà rồng made Edward and the Cullens thêm accessible, and allowed Bella the setting of meeting Edward at her school. It helped Stephenie set the scene for the perfect high school romance, something most teenage girls dream of. After all, at seventeen, where do bạn meet most of your boyfriends? Certainly not at night in a dark alley way.
2. The characters are too Mary-Sue
A lot of people bình luận on the characters of the Twilight Saga being too perfect to be believable. My first answer to this is: this book is complete fantasy. It was completely dreamed up (literally) bởi an tác giả for the enjoyment of not just herself, but now others. Here’s the thing about imagination, anything can happen. Pigs can fly, chó can talk, and people have superpowers. ma cà rồng are immortal. Immortality means bạn cannot die, so guess what? None of the Cullens are killed off. Anyway, who honestly would enjoy having the main characters killed off? Even in Harry Potter (which I will get to later) the main character dies then is ‘magically’ brought to life again. They all have their personality flaws, even if bạn have to read closely to spot them. Edward is overprotective and a complete control freak. Bella is insecure and moody. Alice is so positive it can get annoying.
3. The những người hâm mộ are crazy
I can’t argue with that statement. Some ‘Twi-Hards’ can go overboard. But, don’t stereotype all of the Twilight những người hâm mộ because of a small majority. With something so được ưa chuộng and cult, it is bound to have những người hâm mộ who take it too far and blur the lines between reality and fantasy. Just look at ngôi sao Trek and ngôi sao Wars. Yet, bạn wouldn’t say bạn hate ngôi sao Trek because a few những người hâm mộ are fluent in Cling-On. I am against any Twilight những người hâm mộ that are abusive to get their own way with people who don’t like Twilight, hoặc push Twilight onto haters. My Lời khuyên to people who don’t like những người hâm mộ like that? Don’t talk to them, don’t respond and bạn wouldn’t have to care what they think. A lot of những người hâm mộ just tình yêu the world that Stephenie has provided for them, an escape from everyday life and a chance to be ‘Bella’. What’s the harm in that?
4. Stephenie has no original ideas
Granted, even Stephenie admits to getting most of her ideas and plot for Twilight from other novels and songs. For one một giây however, think about the billions of novels written today, all with their own twist on the world. Think of the thousands of novels set in high school, and the hundreds that also include Supernatural creatures. What can honestly be classed as original, when people write novels with exactly the same settings with a slight difference? With what seems to be every avenue of the human imagination explored, old ideas will get recycled and changed. Any novel bạn read will probably have a sister with just a few differences that turn it into a completely different plot. bạn can’t judge a book on how original the idea, but thêm on how the tác giả makes that idea their own.
5. Harry Potter is better
I don’t even know why I am bothering to write about this, probably the most pointless argument against Twilight that I’ve ever heard. First off, comparing a novel about wizards to one about ma cà rồng is probably as useful as comparing water with coke. Both novels are good in their own way, with completely different settings and plots. So why the hell does people feel the need to put them up against each other? The authors are completely different, with contrasting nghề viết văn styles and no affiliation with each other whatsoever. Apart from their sách being made into movies, which seems a stupid reason to compare them, so this argument in my opinion is completely useless.
So, those are a couple of arguements against Twilight, and what I think about them. I could go on all ngày about Twilight arguements for and against, but that would be boring and an awful lot to type up. I am not saying Twilight is for everyone, after all, what makes us unique is our ability to have a choice over what we like and dislike. I'm just giving bạn my opinion without biting your head off hoặc diễn xuất crazy. I personally enjoy Twilight, in moderation. Like any book, bạn should be able to put down the book and carry on with life as usual, even if bạn don't want to. I understand that some Twilight những người hâm mộ are alot to handle, especially when bạn do not agree with thier veiws, but we aren't all like that.
