Top 10 reasons I absolutely can't stand Twilight.

Some people might disagree. I get that. I kindly ask them to not click on my pretty Lj-cut. It's to keep people away from things that can be considered a direct hit on their sensibilities.

LOLOLOL

It's funny because it's true. :P

[starbuckx]

Ah, the wonders of Twilight ....keeping us entertained. :p Snark galore!

[sandyclaws68]

You owe me for the ruptured spleen caused by laughing at that icon. . .

[daksian]

pfft...I lost mine when I found it...and I never got compensated, why should you? ;)

[biggrstaffbunch]

Stephanie Meyers reads her own work when she needs to get off, you know its true.

I cannot stand Twilight, and a lot of fans of Twilight. I AM WITH YOU, PURVEYOR OF QUALITY WORKS!

[starbuckx]

RFLMAO! Oh, yes. I have no problem believing that.

Most fans I've encountered will shut up when I point out that it's not ZOMG romantic that Edward sparkles. It's not even plausible.

[threnody]

Indeed.

I know exactly why it's popular among the teenybopper crowd (and good god almighty, is it setting THEM up for a brutal fall), but GROWN WOMEN LIKE THIS. I just don't get it. I read the first two books (how, I don't know- I kept having to stop because I wanted to vomit) and kept waiting for the plot to show up. Then I realized that the whole werewolf/vampire thing WAS the plot. Holy shit. LAMEST. BOOK. EVER.

[starbuckx]

Yeah, I understand why it's popular with the teenage girls. Don't exactly like it, but understand. But some people - I just don't know. This thing has no plot whatsoever, tons of supposedly HEARTBREAKING teenage angst and one-dimensional characters. I haven't even started on Jacob! (And I read all three - It was hard, but daily snark sessions with friends helped. And also the need to keep reading the crap in order to properly criticize it.)

I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID 130%.

Twilight is nothing but unrealistic wish fulfillment and some women (of all ages) will eat it up like like ice cream. :P

[starbuckx]

At least ice cream tastes good! :p I'm not sure I'd want my boyfriend saying this:

Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were
stars-points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a
meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty.When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."

Unless I wanted to puke. Then that would be helpful!

[miss_celestine]

LOL! Call me cynical, but if a guy told me that, I would think he's just trying to get me into bed, and not in a very subtle manner either. Can you say desperate? Who believes that kind of shit?

[major_dallas]

indeed, would you prefer the direct approach instead, like say; "Hi I find you incredibly attractive and I was wondering if you like to have sex? I do oral XD..."

or

"Let's stop acting like teenagers who haven't a clue how to act around each other and just skip into bed and get all the awkwardness out of the way, I do oral..."

...least I think a vampire would do oral *laughs*

[katyscarlett76]

*stands up and claps

[starbuckx]

I KNOW. It's like ...vampire lore has existed for a while. We have this preconceived notion of vampires. And now she wants to throw all that to the wind because ....well, it just don't work with the way she wants Edward and his family to be. Hmpf. That bothers me. Also, the whole blood from animals thing isn't this novel idea. Plz, people. Go rent Btvs, okay?

I baffles me too. I seriously cannot understand what's good about this. Not only is the nonexistant plot ridiculous, it's not even well written. So, why?

[kvader]

I haven't read the books, but why is it a bad thing to change up vampires and werewolves? Why do they have to stay mostly the same in every book/series?

On the other hand, there's the sparkling vampire stuff. That sounds horrible.

[katyscarlett76]

why is it a bad thing to change up vampires and werewolves?

It isn't necessarily a bad thing, if it's done well and original (Angel's vampire with a soul, for example). In Stephanie Meyer's case it is just because she wanted them to go to High School, drive cool cars and go out in daylight, so she just said "la la la I don't care about that so they're just different, ok!!!" , which if it was well written it might be ok but it just isn't (IMO anyway).
