    “no one can read bella’s mind because she doesn’t think” is the single most accurate and funniest review of this movie

      Counterpoint: If you look at some of Bella's habits and behaviours, you'll see that she's coded as autistic. There's even a scene where she talks about feeling like her brain is on a different frequency than everyone else's. The whole frequency thing could be the reason her mind can't be read.

    my only question is this;
    this town is in the middle of the most beautiful forest, and NO ONE HIKES. Imagine how funny it would be if in the last movie, someone was just going for a hike and came across hundreds of people in black cloaks and like 100 feet away from them like 30 more people, a child and a bunch of massive wolves just staring at each other. HOW DID NOBODYS SEE THIS HAPPENING??

      I always thought about this, like there is a national park nearby, why isn't anyone hiking? It turns out, the Olympic National Park has some pretty remote parts so I guess it makes some sense that the Cullens don't have run-ins with them. They also probably avoid people easily. They can hear them, smell them from a distance etc.

      Well I mean, we know from a few throwaway lines here and there that at the very least, non locals came to hike near Forks all the time. We know this because the frequent deaths of said hikers are occasionally brought up to foreshadow that there was a vampire hiding out in the forest. Don't remember which one- either Laurent or Victoria, I think.

They said that at that moment they were only her babysitter. But as the years go on he will then become her big brother figure, then her mentor, then her friend, and finally her lover. I also think he said "she will come to only rely on me", like what!? The books also have a bunch of other messed up things that make you question the authors character as a person (like racism). Honestly the movies are more tame then the books. If you would like to know what happen without reading the books there is a youtuber who does a great job.

      i think a lot of people are more ‘okay’ with Bella and Edward because they LOOK the same age. With Jacob and rent a center, there’s a HUGE difference because obviously one is a fucking baby.
      I think Jacob’s character assassination in previous books also adds to it; Jacob went from being a happy Golden Retriever Boy to being viewed by a lot of us as somewhat of a sexual predator. We never see Edward force himself on Bella, or anyone else for that matter. As much as Stephanie tries to backpedal, her character assassination was fucking solid.

You are actually part of a group with a magical destiny to protect the world” and she’s like “cool I guess”. Most accurate kids/teen vampire novel ever.

      Twilight should have been a gory horror/paranormal cop saga with Charlie being thrown into investigating a series of very gruesome murders with help from Carlisle who initially joins for the autopsies which are quickly determined to be caused by some vampire/other monster. Alice insists of being part of this for some future vision reasons too. Basically just strip down twilight to its strenghts: those three characters and Stephanie Meyer’s natural talent for descriptions of horror and violence.

    “Are you on team Edward or team Jacob?”
    I am team Alice. Alice was checking Bella out throughout the entire series(at least the first three movies I haven’t seen the fourth or fifth yet)
    “Oh you smell nice”
    Alice was the first to Bella’s side when she was being turned in the first movie
    Alice got a gift for Bella and looked into the future to make sure she would like it
    Bella didn’t attempt to email anyone else in the family, just Alice.
    Alice didn’t even care that Bella supposedly was dead, as soon as she figured out Bella was going to jump off a cliff her ass was driving back home. What was Edward doing? Watching. What was Alice doing? Driving and putting in the all time effort
    We thought the choice was “stay with Jacob or save Edward” but it was actually “stay with Jacob or go to Rome with the hot vampire lady known as Alice”
    Alice knew exactly what time Edward was going to reveal himself, and there’s no way in hell she didn’t slow down ever so slightly, or at least contemplate it
    She looked into the future, saw what was going to happen, knew where the clock tower was and said “maybe if I send Bella on her own, she won’t find him, and while I’ll be sad that my brother is dead, I get to swoop in and be her new gf”
    And when Bella did save Edward and the whole vampire council thing showed up, Alice came in like “yo I see you about to sacrifice yourself, let me show that I’m romantic too”
    Alice and Bella exchanged “I love you” glances in the elevator on the way to their supposed dooms
    When Edward just watched and said “no Bella” as Bella was about to sacrifice herself, Alice offered to create a future where she got to live with Bella forever
    Literally
    She even said that she would be the one to turn Bella
    Edward didn’t want Bella to be a vampire because everyone in that family knew Bella and Alice were having an unspoken attraction, and he knew Bella would eventually dump his ass for his sister
    When that one guy was going to try to read Bella’s mind, the look she had was “please don’t tell him I’m in love with his sister”
    I know he can’t actually read her mind
    But I like to imagine
    That he could
    And that he’s an ally
    And he just pretended he couldn’t
    Alice’s cover for Bella in the third movie was “everyone is on vacation, she’s spending the night at my place”
    Charlie likes her
    Jasper was literally manipulated and used in his origin story
    Jasper is Alice’s beard
    None of ya’ll can prove me wrong
    Team Alice is the only correct answer and I will stand by this statement until I die.

      I like how people gloss over how Jacob repeatedly explained how imprinting works through out the movie series... Yet people are actin like this mf had an actual CHOICE?! Imprinting is done against your will. They're forced to be subservient and loyal to whom ever fate decides to fuck them over with. If anything HE is the victim. She's literally going to outlive him. She is already of an adult age in mind by the end of the movie. I mean she was having full on telepathic conversations as a BABY. If that doesn't tell you how rapidly she is maturing? I don't know what to tell you.
      If you're going to be mad about something like this can we all be mad at Edward as well?? Seriously.. He's an emotionally/psycholoically/physically abusive, gaslighting, man handling, emotionally negligent, stalking, grooming, and controlling partner. Not to mention he's old as all hell. What the hell is he doing thirsting after a teenager for?? Stalking her around town? Breaking into her house to watch her sleep?? Throwing her around like a rag doll despite "loving" her and convincing her it was her fault or doing the "poor me I am a vampire/filth, you should leave me" gaslighting routine.

      @@SuperUmizoomi Just because she looks older doesn't mean she is. Growing older means gaining knowledge, yes, but also gaining experience. Psychologically, realistically, she should be an absolute mess. Her mind needs to go through physical development which is influenced by her experiences and her _growing up._ Just because she _looks_ like an adult doesn't mean she is one.
      Bella/Edward is a different thing. Edward is psychologically 17 because he was turned at 17 and just stopped aging. Yes, he gained more experience and is thus technically _older_ than Bella by quite a large margin. However, just like treating Edward like he's actually 100 would be wrong (He's neither emotionally stable enough nor psychologically mature enough for that), treating Renessme like an adult when she's, like, 10 months is also bad. Bella and Edward are ~similar and could ethically be together.

    Hot take: Charlie was the best part of these movies. In the books he was still pretty great, but I thoroughly enjoyed these more when he was onscreen than not.

Even if they look like high schoolers they could just do homeschool and provide a “certificate” to stay certified. Also some of them were like slightly older than hs age when they turned if i remember correctly so again why? Also why can’t they just live in a big city instead of a town and ppl with would notice them less. Unless they need the forest to hunt then I guess that makes sense lol

      I think that part gets overshadowed because the only context movie watchers get for imprinting is in a romantic context. And in the books, that seems to be the end goal of the imprinting relationships shown, even implying that it will happen between one of Jacob's pack mates and a small child he hangs around with.
      So yeah, the concept of familial/parental love gets forgotten. As it does throughout the series.

    What makes the whole ‘Jacob imprints on a baby’ creepier is that he literally had no choice. The entire time Bella with preg with Rigatoni, Jacob hated her and wanted her gone.
    After Bella gave birth and Edward tried to ask Jacob to hold Rollingpin, Jacob just told him to “throw it out the window.”
    Just a few moments before Jacob imprints, he went into that room with every intention of killing Roblox for ‘killing’ Bella.
    Jacob is literally her slave. He’ll do and say anything she wants him to; he’s imprinted, he doesn’t have a choice.

The worse part about this movie is how one.. one fucking fanfic about it was enough to horribly miss educate Most of the world about one of the most supporting and loving communitys, that I was lucky enough to be a part of growing up, out there to the point where we are just seen as a group of horrible/abusing/violent people and helpless gaslight once/people willing to do anything for money, causing people just like that to appear and making it more and more difficult find actual members of the scene
