Chuckesmee is a horror icon
I like your videos 👍👍⭐⭐
I agree! 😂👏
Annabelle ain't got nothin' on Chuckesmee!
If you're wondering how the pregnancy worked, involving um..."fluids" your boi Dominic Noble has done the research...I'm sure he'd be happy to talk to you about it.
Go ahead, just ask em...I swear nothing scarring will happen at all
Idk how serious you were about buying it whenever you get rich but god damn I hope you get rich.
Nothing will ever be as funny as interviews with Roberr Pattinson on the subject of the Twilight franchise.
Love it
No one hates twilight more than the actors from twilight 😂
@@supercalime yup
In one interview when he was asked "Will you miss Bella" Pattinson said "Nah. I'm done with her."
@@supercalime a know fact that still makes me laugh🤣🤣
I always felt really bad for Leah, not only did her boyfriend imprint on someone else... He imprinted on her cousin 💀
@Sunny Unathi me too. I don't blame her for "making them miserable" all the time, i would too if i was in her place hahaha
Dominic Noble describes her horrible situation very very well in his video. She is the most dramatic character with the most potential of having a great storyline but Meyers just f***s her over :/
@@gggthsb I started watching his videos on the series but have only watched like the first three so far. I'll definitely go finish them now because I'm very interested in what his opinion is on Leah. Definitely one of the most interesting characters in my opinion
@Sardonicus completely agree , it's heartbreaking her situation. Also even when the author tries to make everyone else less likeable to make the protegonists seem less bland, sooo many other characters had way more interesting story lines that were completely wasted.
@Sardonicus I recently reread the books and her story makes me more sad each time. She also liked spending time with Jake because she knew EXACTLY how he felt. He was as miserable as she was and they bonded over it. But jk, Jake imprints and Leah is left here alone. Like maybe we're supposed to assume she moves on or whatever, but I would've liked to see one concrete example of her life not sucking.
Renesmee reminds me of when renaissance painters tried to paint cats.
This comment is underappreciated
Renesmee reminds ME of Cats 2019
This really is an 11/10 comment
That is exactly what she looks like
@@MessyJoeHesse the cult 🤕🤞
"Is Stephanie okay?" lol. I remember reading this book and thinking the whole time that it was sending some *really weird* Freudian things about Stephanie's feelings about sex and marriage and motherhood. Vampire babies ripping their ways out of your body so they can fast forward through all the child parts of childhood so they can prematurely reach bangable age to satisfy the spare side of your love triangle. It's so strange.
There was a specific religious influence in it.
"strange" is a massive understatement
She's mormon, and there's a lot of ties to her faith, and there's belief some parts are just her processing religious trauma
Omg, I never saw it like that... facepalm so hard!!!
she got problems
“I’m not team Jacob and pregnancy frankly disgusts me”
*immediately likes video*
I want this sentence on merch!
I want this as merch too let's make a petition
Childfree chain
Same, same same! Also, this came at just the right time for me; I just found my country’s (Poland) government lowered the number of exceptions, when abortion is legal from three to two - now, you have to give birth, even if your child has a serious health defect and will die either in utero, or shortly after birth. Fun! Yay religious fundamentalism!
Sorry, had to vent.
@@haggisa I feel so sorry that all that stuff still happens in Poland! I don't live there so it doesn't affect me, but I always get angry at stuff like this because all the inhabitants will have to suffer ;-; Hope it goes back to 3 (or more) soon!
Robert Pattinson really managed to find every single flaw in this series and I live for it.
Hell yeah
OMG YESSS
So priceless
He's got PTSD from working on these films for sure.
@TP That’s a rollercoaster, did he really fall in love with the actress for Bella?
One thing I was always confused about was Jacob claiming that his attraction to Bella was due to her carrying a piece of Chuckesmee in her. If that was true, then wouldn’t he had been attracted to Edward too??? 🤨
I need this headcanon of him being attracted to Edward and just being mad at Bella 😂
sperm cells only live for like 2 weeks or something so jacob would've been super attracted to edward for the few weeks leading up to the wedding... just imagine him being so confused lol
This thread is amazing, thank you. Made my day
Gotta be heteronormative
Honestly, I ship Edward and Jacob.
The real reason vampires don't procreate-- they need permission to come inside.
BAWHAHAHA 😂😂😂
I know this is a joke, but for the record EVERYONE needs consent to come inside
@@frostyskeletons8950 oh for sure! The bare minimum default should be consent always always consent. The fact that we even have to question that is a travesty.
HAHAHAHA TVD LIVES
(Slaps knee) Very aggressive *WHEEZE*
Honestly Bella loosing her shit at Jacob when she realizes he's imprinted on her daughter is my favorite bit
Still, a wooden floorboard has more emotion than Kirsten Stewart 😂😂😂
YOU NICKNAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE LOCHNESS MONSTER
That scene was the only time she was remotely passable as a mother. Barely.
Kristen Stewart is just so bad at acting
It made sense
Whenever people talk about vampire ability to reproduce I like to point to the fact that technically the vampires are supposed to be bloodless, so how would Edward even, well, get it up?
Nothing but venom in those loins
Vampire Viagra, I guess?
Venom replaces ALL fluids in the body, the moisture for eyes, saliva, and yes everything that works down there as well apparently😂 I got the full twilight guide as a birthday present in the good ole days
@@BelgianBisous wait so if they're full of venom, does that make his special fluid able to turn someone into a vampire?
Soso S To quote Dominic noble:
_..Venom. Penis._
The fact that Charlie never question why his granddaughter magically aged
Personally I think he did, it was just one of the many WTF things going on in Bella’s life that he couldn’t process.
Charlie knows about the fact that Jacob’s a Werewolf so he knows that strange things happen
‘You’ve grown half a foot since I last saw you.....like literally six inches....’
Charlie started drinking so heavily after the wedding he doesn't even care anymore.
@@jennymckenzie5304 If you drink enough you don't question anything
Robert Pattinson's eternal hatred for Twilight will never be topped
His and Mine LOL! (Iwas a fan before but as it broke him it broke me too...NO MORE)
Good for him.
Was anyone bitterly upset when she gave birth and it wasn’t a murder machine? Because the book heavily promised a murder machine and it lied to me.
It’s such a rip off.
A bit like the ending of Bride of Chucky where Chucky and Tiffany's baby seems like an evil little shit that'll be more evil than the two of them combined only for the child to be retconned into a good kid who doesn't want to kill anyone and wants his parents to stop killing in the shitty Seed of Chucky.
The book promised a lot of things when it came to Bella that it didn't deliver. Chick got to have her cake and eat it a la Meyer mary sue writing.
@@severussnape8040 Meyer's a bit of an egomaniac and gave her self insert Bella the "happily ever after" in the series Meyer herself thinks she deserves in real life. Even though when real couples stay together for the rest of their lives it's not happily ever because that's not a thing in real life. It's the stuff of fairy tales.
@@Xehanort10 I remember being high two weeks ago and watching about 40 mins of seed of chucky for no good reason. It was so bad but it didn't enter my mind to stop watching it till I had watched that much of it
I did ugly-laugh at the way Bella grabbed Jacob by the scruff of his neck to drag him out of the house, like a dog :D
Well... He is...
It was pretty great.
That one brief moment where you had hope that at least one person in the entire book would see just how fucked up imprinting is (especially when it's done to a newborn).
...only to be thrown right out the window when Bella gets first distracted by the nickname Jacob gave his 'twu wuv' (*hurk*) and the prospect of sexy times with Edward soon after.
i know it was amazing
@@madamefluffy4788 SERIOUSLY THOUGH
"You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness monster?!"
Well, yeah, after the crappy name YOU gave her, what was he supposed to do? Call her Renny?
😂💀
Nessie is better than being nicknamed after an antiacid 😂
I'd call her Ren
Maybe Remy, like Remy Ratatouille?
He is gonna be calling her Baby, all her life.
And it will always have the same meaning ;)
We need Charlie Swan: Vampire Hunter.
This has a lot of potential.
Before Carlisle became a Vampire he was a Vampire Hunter. So if Charlie becomes a Vampire Hunter he can later become a Vampire and if he becomes a Vampire he would be pretty powerful. We know from Midnight Sun that Edward can’t read Charlie’s thoughts like Bella and when Bella became a Vampire she could put others in her Mental Shield and that made her pretty powerful so if Charlie can also put others in his Mental Shield and that would make him really powerful.
I don't know original title, but straightly translated from my language it would be "a girl in a red cape"? Actor playing Charlie played girl's dad and he was a werewolf. Few years back I found it quite ironic that vampire's dad is a werewolf somewhere else
He's way too oblivious!!
Edward looking like he just finished an order of bbq ribs will forever be the highlight of breaking dawn
Are you sure he didn't have some, uh,
Baby back ribs
Yupppp
😂
Oh god
"Edward that's not what eating a girl out means man."
If Edward didn’t want to hurt Bella he should have had her on top
Edward is clearly not intelligent.
@@thomasraines1396 This is true
@@animebaseline3520 he and Bella are both not that intelligent.
@@thomasraines1396 They both have the collective of zero brain cells
@@animebaseline3520 that is true
"She can have puppies," and that's the exact moment I literally closed the book forever. Could not continue.
It also sucks in the books how no one gives Leah any sympathy for what she's going through.
And the girl same inprints on is Leah's cousin. Who i believe she was very close to.
I wanna see the imprintee, not want the wolf that imprints on her
Leah's story is so ridiculously sad and no one seems to care. It's awful
Leah did nothing wrong! Having your ex being the guy in charge, and being the only female werewolf and dealing with dudebro werewolves who are super dismissive to your plight is rough. But, she did chose to leave her home and make her own way, which is badass.
@@smileys462Leah deserves her own love story.
Leah’s story needs to be the next saga!
ALICE. CAN’T. SEE. WOLVES. IN. VISIONS. Yes I’m still bitter over the movie forgetting this after it was a HUGE plot point in New Moon.
No because that's too much plot for the movies
You can't expect the movie makers to be consistent with their work if the auther themselves isn't....
And she can't see renesme either!
That’s an excellent point but I’m still happy the fight scene was in the movie. That would’ve been extremely underwhelming in a visual medium...I mean it was in the book too but whatever lol
But when SM needs Alice to see them then she can see them.
To those that don't know. All bodily fluids produced by vampires is venom. So that baby was made out of poison and an egg. That's what I'm using as the canon reason for why Renesmé looks like that at first.
She looks like a mistake
@@thepovdweller She is a mistake, I'd rather Jacob go with Leah.
If everything was made of venom then Bella should have turned after her first time, because if her body was blacl and blue some of that venom should have hit her bloodstream
Which makes me question why Bella never screamed in pain when they made out lol
They were trying to prevent her from becoming a vampire. but if jizz is also venom, wouldn't it get absorbed during sex and turn her into a vampire?
Meyer's pro-life message is quite clear in this. Leah felt like less of a woman for being unable to have kids after turning into a wolf and Jacob (Meyer) basically confirmed this by agreeing with her. Rose was obsessed with Chuckesmee because she herself didn't have the chance to have children as a human. And Bella sacrificing her life for her baby, even if it meant an extremely painful death, is seen as heroic which is probably why Meyer made it as gory as possible. Abortion is immediately looked down on as an option even though Bella didn't really care about having kids (she was ready to sacrifice her human life to be with Edward) and they knew the baby would probably kill her.
Basically, Meyer to her impressionable YA audience: "If you have an abortion to save your own life, if you are infertile, or don't want children, you are less of a woman" 😡
I 100% disagree. Just because someone says that they regret not being able to have children before they were made vampire or they regret that being werewolf makes them potentially infertile... does not mean they are less of a woman. And it is perfectly reasonable and understandable that a woman would feel regret over this. Abortion IS murder... and it IS wrong. Our culture's obsession with the self and what's most convenient for us is evil. Bella didn't want to kill her baby not because she'd had some intense desire to be a mother before hand, but that once that baby was conceived she recognized it as a part of her, and a part of Edward and that it would be evil to kill her because she wasn't expected or planned.
All of this.
Not necessarily. It's also plausible that some women find having children to be very very important to them. It doesn't have to be a pro-life debate. Although people who do choose that there's nothing wrong with their own choice
@@alikarol3 lol ok. Any other choice or option is viewed as sad, tragic or deplorable throughout this entire debacle of a story. But sure, it's not propaganda at all! 🤪👌🏽
@@DarlingMissDarling I didn’t get that at all when I read the books, I just thought that Bella loved that child so much that she didn’t care about the repercussions. As to Leah being a werewolf and not being able to have kids, I have read so much werewolf fic that to me it’s like oh she wanted to have kids and be there for the tribe and now she can’t and the fact she is the only female who can shift would make it difficult to feel normal.
Edward: I'm so smart and good at everything because of not having sex all night
Me, an asexual: *plays sims until 2am on a Friday night*
Hi fellow ace 💜
Yes 😂💜
"What happens if the imprintee doesn't want anything to do with the imprinter?"
You get something like Sam Uley and Emily Clearwater. Sam was engaged to Emily's cousin Leah, but then imprinted on Emily. Emily turned him down, because Leah, and Sam got so angry he shifted and ripped half Emily's face off. The books might present them as a totally happy true-love-forever couple, but if you actually stop and think about it, it seems much more likely that Emily is just a hostage playing along so that Sam doesn't injure her further.
Wait that's why Sam injured Emily? I haven't read the books in years, but in the movies I know Jacob just says that Sam got mad and Emily was too close. That's horrible and disgusting, poor Emily
Also, why don't women get to be wolf shape shifters too. The whole "Leah" is an anomaly thing was so sexist.
It ruins any illusion of imprinting being something inherently wonderful. It doesn't matter that he was new to the whole wolf shifting. His instincts should prioritize his mate's health more than anything else. If a grown up warewolf can act like an adult / friend for a child imprintee when she needs it then there's no excuse for Sam to be violent
I've read smutty abo fanfics that deal better with this kind of bullshit
Woah.. that's how Emily got hurt? 😳 I haven't read the books for years 😂
Except, not really. Emily didn’t accept sam because she was scared, and the on,y reason she was injured was because he was too close when he shifted and that was an accident. I get trying to portray their relationship as abusive, but I honestly don’t think it is because it’s never framed as Sam intentionally hurt Emily because he wanted too. All werewolves have short tempers so I guess this means all werewolves are abusive now?
The only thing o agree with is that the imprentees feel trapped because the wolves have to stay in lapush and can’t go anywhere else. They kind of touched this with Jacobs sister who had to come back home and leave her college because Paul imprinted on her, but was never touched again
"I don't think Stephenie is okay" me neither.
"And when I'm rich, I will own it."
So if you go missing right after you get rich, we can assume it was Chuckesmee?
Probably 😆
Okay, guess I'll have to say it then... I'm team Charlie. Like, he's the best character by far. Every weird thing that happens to him he's just like "ok I guess"
I've said this before and I'll continue saying this but Charlie is the real victim of the entire saga
Charlie is the nicest character and I hated how Belle treated him like shit
I’m team pocs that got mistreated and misrepresented in a series of books written by an overly religious out of touch person
@@supercalime who invited you to this party? I didn’t.
@@candycane1744 I wouldn’t say she treated him like shit, it’s very clear that she deeply loves him. She just treats him like a teenager which, yanno, she is
The CGI baby from the movie was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.
You should see the animatronic they were going to use. It was apparently so ugly that they had to use CGI instead.
Edit: I just realized Amanda mentions the Chuckesme doll in the video. Whoops.
Things like that make me wonder why twilight was such a hit.
And it was completely unnecesary, like why, just why they didn't used a baby and a child with similar face features? but no, just plastered some cgi and yay, let's go to eat lunch... I guess xD
Yupppp
The baby they used was so cute. And they did that!
I just think, Alice never seen this future, this posibility. Because she could call they and say "use a condon please, because Bella could getting pregnant and die". Idk, this dont let me sleep in the night.
That always bothered me too.
condoms would work the same as if Edward were human? I don't think so ( that vampire poison thing and all), at least he would have to use a freaking radiation-suit-condom in his vampire dicky
@@pauarteagahernandez6855 so it would burn through it, scary
Because Alice could only see the future of humans and vampires (not wolfves or hybrids) and until pregnancy happens she could see thier future where she dosen't get pregnat and all together go to collage lol
She wanted Bella to be a vampire so she probably saw that in her future and didn't want to change it
i literally gagged with the line "goodbye, Jacob, my brother... my son"
Me too. Like wtf Edward? Your daughter is not even 1! And you’re thinking about the marriage between your daughter who’s not even 1 and your 16 year old werewolf “friend”. I know that he was probably thinking about their marriage and them being together when Renesmee’s older. But still wtf? You don’t have to think about that now Edward.
@@MinisDunyasi5 unfortunately a lot of fathers start thinking about who they’re gonna marry their daughter off to when the kid’s still way too young. It’s so gross, but it happens
Like this would have been kinda cute if imprinting was just "I will protect this person from things that hurt them" and Resumè could have aged normally, so the Cullens can get a few years toghether and then when Retribution is like 7/8 she and Jacob have built a close kind of brother/sister relationship.
Meamwhile he can have dealt with his feelings for Bella by finding joy in taking care and protecting sb and loving sb unconditionally but in a friendship kind of way or a brotherly way.
Maybe Jacob also finds a partner or whatever.
And THEN I feel like this like could be kimda cute. Like these rivals, who are basically programmed to hate each other, become really close.
Still weird but considering Eddie Boy is 100+ years old and Jake has a younger mimdset and would be close to Resentment it would make sense.
@@francescapatti2934 yeah. The whole romantic aspect of it needed to go. The fact that Jake was always hanging around Nessie was gross. Only people that should see her everyday are the Cullen's of course and Charlie. The wolves, especially Jake, had no business seeing Nes everyday and acting like they were her family. The obsessive behaviour was nasty. At least with Edward and Bella, the obsession went both ways and they were the same age, relatively. But with NES, it can't be consensual since she's a literal baby and that's unforgivable
@@sweettea1193 the messed up part is that the way its wrote, it's technically consensual since Armageddon has a advanced mindset as a baby already. Doesn't help that the older she gets, it seems like her mind doesn't quite fit the age she's supposed to be at that moment. But then again maybe I'm wrong either way, I hate the imprinting especially since there's mostly examples of a older teen imprinting on baby's or toddlers.
Alternate title: Amanda shipping Alice and Bella for 30 minutes (not so) straight
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
fr thoo
This would've been a better title for this video 😂😂
"The iconic scene of Dakota Fanning throwing a child into a fire" Honestly... Yeah
Stephanie explained the pregnancy on her website. She said that Edward had one left- over dose of sperm in his testicles to get Bella pregnant. It became increasingly ridiculous like everything in the books
I don't get it...
that's just lazy writing, his sperm would've been long dead for decades by now
another reason for my list of "why i will never read or watch twilight"
Nah that had to have been dust at that point
So he never busted a nut the entire time he was a vampire ? 😂
In the film, Edward’s reaction when Bella is going after Jacob for imprinting makes me laugh every single time. His family is like “stop her” and he’s like “he said she’s fine” probably partially because he wants to rip him to shreds too lol.
"and pregnancy frankly disgusts me" i have never related to a person more
Yes! I have found my people.
I had kids and I feel this way. Having all those new age moms trying to convince to have a mirror and blah blah blah. Just no, one pregnancy and 2 kids were enough to convince me
YES. I _never_ want to get pregnant. Every time I think it might not be a bad idea, just reading the symptoms is enough to remind me that it is _not_ an appealing idea for me in the slightest!
I dont even see the point
Like
Just adopt people
@@alyssabrown-carleton6173 same! Pregnancy is disgusting. Varicose veins, diarrhea, constipation, pee accidents, blood, vomit, stitches...there is nothing beautiful about pregnancy and birth except for the end result. I had two and was done after that.
lol imagine a werewolf imprinting on someone's grandma
😶💀Now I can never unimagine that.
Thank you.
@@anycullen21 you're welcome 😈
At least it would be better than a baby tbh.
Little Red Riding Hood: A Retelling by Stephanie Meyers
@@annepixiebettinger3593 I would read that.
: Amanda : "I guess when you're pregnant with a vampire demon child your water doesn't brake, your blood bursts" that's hilarious lmao
Even if he's mentally frozen as a young man, Edward still has a 100 years more of world experience than Bella. This is still shady AF
More like 80 years, but that’s not much better.
Doesn't matter how much knowledge he has, he doesn't have the ability to apply any of it in his life because his brain is frozen at 17. Knowing stuff and actually applying that stuff successfully in your life aren't the same. Edward cannot do the latter which is evident in the books, so therefore he's mentally 17 who just knows a lot of shit, that's it
I'm still pissed 12 years later that none of the werewolves ever imprinted on another dude, or that Leah never imprinted on a girl.
They need Spouses
I also wonder if it's possible for two people to imprint on the same person. Can't see why not. It would be such a mess :D
Someone mentioned in the comments that the imprinting it's a conservation of the species sort of thing, so the purpose is for them to breed, which wouldn't happen on gay couples, I'm guessing even if one of the wolves was gay or was attracted to the same sex they would imprint on the opposite
@@chpalaz Romantic inclination in general exists only evolutionarily to continue the species. This is actually an argument that has been used by homophobes against real life gay people, so the optics of you responding to me, a gay man, with that line of logic, are pretty bad. Just because we want to have sex to reproduce doesn't mean everyone's brain is hardwired to have reproductive sex. And this line of logic is entirely cissexist when you realize that there ARE gay couples who can reproduce offspring- trans male gay men are still gay men, trans female lesbians are still lesbians. There is never a good internal excuse for a fictional population of humans or near-humans to have entirely homogeneous sexuality.
And on your last point, it would be seriously homophobic to have a gay werewolf imprint on someone of an opposite gender. That's one hair's width line from conversion therapy and since imprinting is framed as this ~beautiful~ end-all-be-all thing for werewolves it would heavily imply that heterosexuality is inherently better than homosexuality.
Don't think you intended it, but this comment and logic are trash.
@@tiffprendergast Gay people can be spouses, I dont see your point.
Meyer was definitely going for ProLife but ended up persuading people of ProChoice and not having kids AT ALL.
Yeah the way she described it was so disgusting. I never want to have to child and I can’t say that that wasn’t a contributing factor on my impressionable teen mind. 🤣
Right? Like I have no desire to raise a small human child, but that put me off even more.
"Carry your child to term even if it's a horrifying monstrosity that hungers for blood and will kill you painfully!"
The imprintee wanting nothing to do with the imprinter is absolutely the melodramatic fan fic/spin off novel I need in my life.
This.
I would be down for reading this fanfiction
Wait i actually read a fanfic about that, it was about Jacob imprinting on someone, treating her horribly cuz of bella but eventually after bella goes to Edward Jacob tries to make things right and fails. He doesn't end up with his imprint and rightfully so. Got some nice leah and Paul as best friends from what I remember too
Reply to this when you see it and I'll dig out the fic
@@untitledcuzwhynot9963 please dig it
Bella becoming a vampire for the first time was the only part when I actually liked her character
To me it was like putting the barest minimum of butter on a bland, dry piece of toast, not much was added.
I heard that was the same for a lot of people, and I think I know why that was: because only when she was a vampire did she ever truly emote. She acted more like a human AFTER she was turned!
I think it’s because the stupid love triangle finally ended. Boy was that painfully repetitive to read about.
@@thomasraines1396 But I like dry toast..... :(
@@jessicamartin1160 I do as well, but adding things to it gives it that extra flavor.

Wolves “grooming” humans. How the tables have turned...
Werewolf, the Apocalypse
The most brilliant thing the Breaking Dawn movie did was giving us an epic battle sequences we were denied in the books, even though it built up to that moment like crazy, without breaking from canon at all.
I was sad when it was a dream lol I was like woah this rocks
I always loved that the Vampires (who are at least a hundred plus years old and supposedly such "quick thinkers") couldn't figure out that the hybrid baby wanted to drink blood. 😂
Stephanie: *writes a vampire romance novel*
Everyone: ah yes, Mormon propaganda
Bruh don't call it Mormon propaganda lol. Even the Mormons don't want anything to do with it. It's just Stephanie Meyer's sick, twisted, middle-aged fantasies.
@@everestneverlynn84 no, dude, I was referencing what was said in the video. I wasn't trying to be offensive
Overall I think it's just fantasies... influenced by mormonism. Some are general, like being popular, having guys fight over you, being special, while some are more mormon inspired, like a guy who wants to wait till marriage or fighting for a pregnancy that others deem too dangerous. I bet that's a fantasy to many religious women. Sort of admirable martyrdom. Especially since she was proved right and the kid turned out perfect.
Mormons are not into fucking demons and wolf men.
@Booper Dooper Leah also showed the same insecurity of "not being woman enough" which I think is even worse than a male character saying so.
If Stephanie wrote Breaking Dawn to convince me to abstain from sex until marriage and be pro-life regardless if it’ll kill me, she did it wrong.
Breaking Dawn made me never want to have sex or be pregnant! ...EVER and be more pro choice than ever! My uterus made the windows shut down noise after I read Breaking Dawn. Lmao!
Same! Both times upon coming across the "birth" scene (in the book and film) I sware I felt my vag sew itself shut.
Beautiful illustration :)
That last sentence us hilarious 😂
Lmao what?
“My uterus made the windows shut down noise”
Fucking classic
The “never changing mentally” is honestly pretty horrifying when you stop and think about it excluding the Immortal Children stuff none of the vampires should be able to adopt new life styles or change their opinions: imagine having a complete scumbag be turned into a vampire he will be that way forever, Rosalie and Esme should be left in the emotional states they were in when they were turned. One would assume that’s how things would play out but Meyer only took the most superficial aspects of this idea and applied it.
Wouldn't that mean Rosalie would be in a constant state of trauma from being raped since she was raped shortly before Carlisle turned her? That's dark.
@@Xehanort10 it would yes and yes it is dark.
Yup, guess sits better it's not that way, considering jasper was a Confederate soldier :x
Can we just appreciate Bella dragging Jacob out of the house like he’s a bad dog. CHUCK HIM OUT
You really can't say Edward is mentally 'frozen' as a 17 year old forever, when he has more knowledge than any 17 year old ever could. He knows more about people, the world, himself. He's not 17, let's be real here.
His maturity is 17, there's actual geniuses at 7 years old and have a maturity of a child.
Agreed. The "mentally 17" is something really reinforced in Midnight Sun's later chapters, which were written more than a decade after Twilight first came out. He's definitely physically 17, mentally 100+.
@@avaphynx There’s a huge difference between a kid who’s been on the earth for seven years and an immortal creature who’s been on the earth for more than a century. Maturity is world experience, and obviously Edward has more world experience and wisdom, not “kid genius knowledge,” than any living person.
@@totallytalia it's not when the frontal lobe stopped developing at 17. He's just a very old and smart 17 year old. His brain wasn't allow to fully develop. A human brain fully develops into adulthood by 25 years old.
Mental development and being mature/having a lot of knowledge are different things. Two seventeen year old's could have entire different maturity levels and intellect, but be at the same stage of mental development. Really my concern is, when Bella gets older, would it become her abusing him, because he has the mental development of a child?
"You know, I'm not a vampire scientist. I don't need to think about it." Probably for the best actually. I think Stephanie Meyer's explanation took a few years off of Dominic Noble's life...And mine, now that I think about it...
Love that guy
Mine too. And Dominic is awesome, come to think of it.
sorry to remind you, but what. IS. the explanation?
@@cheekychelldos1045 Venomous bodily fluids, apparently. Like, instead of semen, Eddie boy is packing a venom substitute that does the trick. Dominic Noble is actually covering the book currently. I highly recommend checking his latest video out. Wildly hilarious and just as informative.
my main issue with meyers is her racism, i remember reading that when they began casting for twilight and the director wanted more poc but she fought it so hard and now when i watch the movies that just sticks with me. her mishandling of a native american tribe and their history also bothers me,. and when you think about the fact that the only poc in her books that gets fleshed out is jacob who is just kinda terrible…idk lmao.
You might be reading too much into it cause I’m pretty sure most of her characters are white but idk about the Native American tribe so you might be onto something with that one
@@DonJulio1942 you’re right. most of her characters are white so you would think she would take more time to actually flesh out the small amount of poc characters she has. she has the chance to have a more diverse cast in the movie adaptation and chose not to do it. and the Quileute tribe is a real tribe who she took “inspiration” from. she didn’t even stay true to their actual history/customs. so after 7 months i take back the reading into it too much comment lol
@@kaylyndavis5827 you aren't reading too much into it lmao. She literally wrote Twlight, she COULD have included more poc characters into it if she wanted to or rectified that lack of inclusion in the movie. She COULD have handled the poc that were there well, including the whole ass tribe she wrote about. The choices to not represent poc or write them well when they were there were in fact choices that she made.
Me pregnant at 4 months: ☺️
Something moves inside me: 😳
“I’m out , I’m done” 😂
'What happens if the imprintee wants nothing to do with the imprinter?'
Easy, she gets mauled by a raging shapeshifter, and ends up with him, anyway after he emotionally manipulates her into forgiving him. (i.e. - Sam and Emily).
Probably one of the worse takes in this series. Like everyone justifies his violence because now they are in love? Um nope.
And you get some of the more fanatical members of the fanbase saying it was her fault for standing too close to him and that he "accidentally" slashed her face. When no. He attacked her for rejecting him. It was on purpose and she wasn't too close to him.
From what I remember, he didnt do that because she rejected him.
@@Xehanort10 he didn't attack her though. He literally shifted to close. Thats it. He didnt turn and then attack her, nor did he turn with the intention to attack her. Shifting is based on anger, not the want to attack.
@@BabyGirlTiny why are you going around defending the emotionally manipulative and violent psychos lol
The only Twilight spin-off I want to see is either Alice’s or Rosalie’s backstory in full. Since this is one of those series where the background/secondary characters are far more interesting than the main ones.
To my understanding you can literally see Alice's backstory because there was a film made about it. I'm afraid the details are foggy for me, but I think they had a bunch of spin off stories made into short films by various people. Alice's backstory is one of the films, and I think another one includes how she met Jasper. I haven't seen them, however, just read about it on Wikipedia. Also, I believe the actors are all different. So yeah, hope that helps.
Honestly, leah deserves her own book
Check out The Storytellers version of Alice's backstory! Sadly they never made anything with Rosalie and Emmett
All the side characters are better than both the main characters combined. It's like Stephanie Meyer was TRYING to make sure twilight was as bad as possible
I wanna see her write actual werewolves. To elaborate Jacob is technically a shape shifter not a werewolf. His tribe happens to shift into wolves. But real werewolves are supposed to be horrific monsters out to kill. They're strong enough to fight a vampire in one on one combat and win. Vampires feared them to the point were they coordinated a group effort to hunt down and kill almost all of them.
Dude, Alice is the only character i read the whole series for.... Literally just skipped to her parts in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn and just pieced the whole story together later on.
Eclipse is my fav only because of the high Alice content XD
There’s also a lot of Alice content in New Moon
It's been a decade since I've read this, but you describing Jacob breaking away with Seth to make their own pack made me remember that was one of the few things that I liked about the book. I don't know, there was just something cool about Jacob taking up the Alpha role out of pure spite and taking a few fellow werewolves with him.
"I remember reading this with increases confusion and anger until I wanted to chug the book out of the window". Hey, that was my Cursed Child reaction.
I read that on a plane and wanted to chuck it out the window and kill us all
Understandable. I speed read it and I my WTFs kept raising in pitch as I was reaching the end.
Both Breaking Dawn and Cursed Child come off as really crappy fanfiction.
Cursed Child is so terrible. I wanted to go to the play UNTIL I read the book. Then I didn’t want my horror brought to life. Like wtf...
@@thomasraines1396 That's basically what they are. The whole Twilight series is basically Meyer's narcissistic self insert fanfiction. Bella's a fictional version of her and the whole series is her ideal fantasy where she's loved by every man and friends with every woman, constantly the centre of attention, eternally young, super rich, her kid ages quickly because she's too lazy to bring her up, cliched kissing in a field of flowers and so on. That's the life she thinks she's entitled to and believes she deserves.
I did chuckle when Bella goes all demon voice on Jacob "YOU NICKNAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE LOCH NESS MONSTER?!" lol. Like, chill Bella there are worst nicknames :D
She can’t complain about stupid names, she named the kid “Renesmee”.
@@thomasraines1396 Imagine if she'd called her daughter Frances and Jacob nicknamed her Frankie. "YOU NICKNAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER."
@@Xehanort10 that would happen yeah.
it made me laugh XD
That was terrible fake rage
"pregnancy frankly disgusts me..." say it louder for the people in the back!
That's my opinion on almost every facet of the human body, tbh.
I find it kinda disturbing, because of how painful it is, although I wouldn't know how painful because I'm a cis guy.
But, at the same time, I find it interesting and special, but only if the person carrying the baby is happy with the pregnancy.
I find it beautiful.
I have to say this because it’s like everyone has amnesia when it comes to this point. The amniotic sac was essentially INDESTRUCTIBLE!
Even if Bella had wanted to end the pregnancy, Carlisle wouldn’t have been able to. That’s why it’s such a point that Bella accepts what is actually inevitable, and everyone else is mad at her because they can’t for once, go above and beyond the human condition.
I remember reading a Fanfic that was basically: Alice and Bella are like f*ck you to Edward. Alice changes Bella because Bella asked her too and they then dated.
And Edward originally didnt introduce her to Bella because Alice saw she and Bella would date.
Anyway I loved it because Alice x Bella, and all the Cullens where like: Edward stalking is bad, stop being a creep
Amazing
Lmao, reminds me of "Swipper, no swipping!"
Reminds me of the Fanfictions where Anastasia hooks up with her Roommate Kate. For Stories in the 50 Shades Universe, they were actually pretty enjoyable.
Love this ❤️
"Stalking" and being a "creep" is used too often for no actual reason....its very vague
I honestly would say that Breaking Dawn and Revenge of the Sith gave me a phobia of getting pregnant too lol
Same. Like hell I'll go through that after watching the pain and the horror of it. Nope. Never. Not even dreams. I don't want kids,if I change my mind I'm fucking adopting.
just realizing the symptoms of pregnancy makes me want to rush to the doctor to tie these tubes fuck that its literal body horror
@@Hazy-dreamer yuppp

The Twilight movies are like my guilty pleasure, I think they're wonderfully ridiculous, but the CGI baby is CREEPY AF.
Also I love how Robert Pattinson is like: This is all hilarious to me.
Man, it doesn't get better than coming home from school for the weekend and watching a new Amandathejedi review of Twilight
🎶Gal pals🎶
“I don’t think Stephenie is ok!” I couldn’t agree more.
I remember my mom and best friend were OBSESSED with this series so I was dragged to every movie and I read the books even though I didn't like them. I also remember cackling loudly in the theatre and my mom and best friend were SO PISSED.
LMAO SAME
Everyone was laughing at the wedding speeches in the cinema 😂
I was so pissed off before I found out it was Alice's vision. I cussed in that theater when he was beheaded.
Wait, you mean to tell me that "you nicknamed my daughter after the lochnass monster" is REAL?????? All these years, and I thought it was totally made up.
It’s one of those things that’s so absurd it can’t possibly be real.
Never understood why she hated the nickname, it's better than her Actual name. And I think a Loch Ness monster nickname would be cool, but I like monsters so that could just be me.
@@bluslvrwolf2166 exactly she doesn’t get to act pissy considering what named the kid.
It's such a stupid line that I don't blame you for thinking it was made up.
@@bluslvrwolf2166 Best I can think of is that Bella thought Jacob was implying that Renesmee was a monster. Which let's face it she is. She ravaged Bella's insides, broke her back and temporarily or not killed her. But Bella caring more that her kid was nicknamed after a mythological sea monster than the fact Jacob's a paedo who wants to molest Renesmee is stupid.
My experience with Twilight was sneaking in McDonald's after almost missing the start time of the film. I had some fries and nuggets stashed in my mkms purse and then when I pulled them out someone yelled "WHO GOT CHICKEN?!" during some dramatic scene
This cracked me up so much for some reason 💀💀💀
@@jennifer_moss me and mom were at the McDonald's across the street from the theater. We lost track of time and barely made it after getting popcorn and our seats. I asked mom if I can nibble on the nuggets we had left over and thw rest was history
That's fantastic. I related to this story so hard on both sides. I have done both of these things. Also, your story made me laugh my ass off.😆
@@victoriashevlin8587 I wish i could make this up. And it's not like we had a big lunch at McDonalds but we wanted to make sure we got good seats for the film. I don't remember which scene it was but I know it was between Bella and Edward
Congratulations, you are now my idol.
One of the parts of the book that I was so confused by is that apparently vampires have 25 pairs. What do they need 4 extra chromosomes for?! They're dead! Also they don't even reproduce sexually, so why do these extra vampire chromosomes even come in pairs?!
Also one of the reasons Renesme and Jacob are "meant to be" is apparently because they both have 24 pairs of chromosomes for some reason. Even if they do, an extra two chromosomes from a wolf spirit bonding session is going to be rather different than one obtained from vampire venom.
Like what even is this pseudoscience?!
How tf did SM even come up with that, it’s wayyy too extra and it doesn’t even make sense
I guess the two extra chromosomes in vampires are for vampire poison and vampire power because literally nothing else makes sense. Also weird that werewolves have 2 extra chromosomes spirit bonding or not what is the last extra pair for wolf form body type? Seems like werewolves get shafted in this universe being forced to imprint on some rando and missing out on the sweet super speed and extra powers like the vampires do.
Hearing you describe what happens to Bella makes me imagine a world where Meyer is a successful horror writer; she clearly has the talent for it.
On this episode of Breaking Amanda's Sanity:
She probably lost that when she watched Cats... I don't think anything can wreck her more than that movie did. And if something did since then, I forgot about it, or she didn't release a video on it!
Chuckesmee is a regular image in my worst nightmares
Right? That damn thing looks like it would be one of those sleep paralysis demons. Man, that thing is so scary, it makes Pennywise, Micheal Myers, Freddy Kruger, and Jason look like Care Bears by comparison.
Have you seen the original baby they used? The baby was so adorable and they made this.
@@corinnae.7877 Yes, I agree! That baby was adorable and I understand they wanted the baby to look more 'aware' than a normal baby, but that's really not that important.
@@TaliVarda100706 I just watch the movie again because that's the only thing on TV. It is horrible but I am also out of shits to give.
Although the thumb nail makes it look like Edward is sooo disgusted to see her 😂
"At least nobody assumed she cheated"
Best part about the whole situation lol! I love laughing at these books/ movies and you're twilight reviews got a subscribe from me!
Charlie will forever be my favorite character in the series. But, Michael Sheen's Aro is a close second. Mostly because I just appreciate how he gives his all in all his roles, even with something like Breaking Dawn. But also he has such a sweet smile.
I laugh every time I remember that Michael Sheen was both the adorable Aziraphale and this amazing giggling vampire.
And the sympathetic Lycan Lucian in Underworld
And Rami Malek is Freddie Mercury the Avatar
Micheal Sheen - the embodiment of goofy immortals.
the fact that he accepted the role in the saga bc of his daughter just make his appearance a 10/10
I heard him mentioned as a possible for Doctor Who, he'd be amazing!
Seeing that fake-out in movie theaters on release day was the most amazing moviegoing experience I've ever had, absolutely incredible, will never be replicated. Middle aged moms were crying about Carlisle
Seriously? They were crying? 😆😂🤣
I was dragged to the theater to watch this movie because my mom was obsessed with these movies and the only joy I got was watching her reaction to that. She was so upset.
I saw this at the midnight release and the crowd made it a 10/10 experience lol
@@victoriashevlin8587 The majority of Twilight fangirls can't distinguish between fiction and reality, think the actors and actresses are their characters and think real people have died when the characters are killed off.
ALL THE YELLING AFTER IT!!!
dude my favorite part of that whole fake battle is Marcus being like "finally...!" and looking up to the heavens with his arms outstretched allowing the Transylvanian brothers to kill him... Marcus, just bless his heart
My sister and I are always just saying "Fiinallyyy" in Marcus's tone whenever something we've been waiting for happens
I kind of hate to say this, but Breaking Dawn is Pro-Choice. Stephanie Meyer meant for it to be Pro-Life, especially with her being Mormon, but it isn't. It is Pro-Choice.
I say this because Pro-Choice is about choice. Everyone (except Rosalie) is trying to take Bella's choice away from her. Being Pro-Choice isn't being Pro-Abortion, it's about giving the one carrying the fetus the choice of what they want to do. Bella is making the choice in keeping the fetus that is killing her, and everyone is trying to take that choice away from her. They're trying to take her bodily autonomy away from her.
You just insinuated that pro choice is pro abortion lol. Someone choosing whether to abort their (that is not life or death related) baby or not is pro abortion, if not then its anti abortion.
@@mlindalina1 I'm very confused what you're saying. Maybe it's just cos I'm a peak dumbass with a migraine, but like....When people say pro-abortion they mean like, 'you should be forced to have an abortion without a choice,' whereas pro-choice is 'you should be able to abort the fetus, but you shouldn't be forced to.
@@autumnox2174 lol no. when people say they are pro-abortion, they mean they are pro-choice, no one will force you to abort if you don’t want too, they want you to have they correct tools, systems and methods to do so when you choice to do it. at least, i have never known a single pro-abortion (pro-choice) forcing someone to abort, as I have seen pro-life forcing women to have children (which happen a lot, and with the intend to make you feel guilty for deciding over your own body and life).
@@sere_amarilla pro-choice is not pro-abortion. It's literally pro-having a choice to do what you want. That includes having, aborting, or giving up the baby/fetus
@@yessica5231 Maybe the misunderstanding is in that you may come from a country where abortion is legal and has no conditions attached. That’s why in my country and neighbors countries pro-abortion is equal to pro-choice, because we are still advocating to have a choice in the matter and over our own bodies, since most of these countries literally push you to keep the pregnancy and you don’t have the support of the state to choose a safe way to abort.
though, either way, when you are pro-life you are against abortion, so you are no letting the other to have a choice, but when you are pro-abortion you care about the safety of the other person through the abortion process.
In twilight, both sides were extremely represented, Rosalie really just wanted the baby, and she happened to be lucky enough to have Bella with the idea to keep the pregnancy, otherwise she would be trying to convince bella to keep the pregnancy going, and the others thought the fetus was a monster until it developed to become a super baby with communication abilities to know she (renés de) was human. None of them really care about Bella’s choice, they just care about what was inside of her and she, as I said, was lucky enough to have a woman that really REALLY wanted a baby at all cost (rosalie). I think the Cullens are pro-life all the way, they just freaked up because they thought renesmee was a monster.
I just realized that Jacob's fake ID name is "Wolfe, Jacob" askljlkajsfoids
Okay that actually made me laugh in the book
That's about as subtle as one of The Joker's aliases in Batman comics being Joseph Kerr.
THATS LITERALLY MY UNCLES NAME NO 😭
The age thing with Bella and Edward never bothered me because, like you said, they meet when Bella's 17 and Edward's a vampire. Jacob is literally going for the kill when he imprints on Bella's newborn baby, and is then basically written, from what I remember, as Renesmee's dad. It's just creepy.
He's going to act as her dad/uncle, then her older brother/friend and then a boyfriend. And she's supposed to go through all that in about 6 or 7 years, process it and fall in love? Poor kid. I sure hope she manages to because we've all seen what a manipulative prick he can be when rejected by someone he's not even imprinted on.
I didn’t find it weird because I grew up with Inuyasha and Kagome. But even as a kid I was disgusted at the concept of Jacob “imprinting” on Renesmee and the way other teenage girls would bend over backwards to defend it.
Kate's electric shock is actually a mental illusion, just like Jane's ability to induce burning pain. They are psychic powers exercised directly over the subject's mind/perception. These are the kinds of powers that Bella's shield can block. Jasper's mood control affects the nervous system rather then the brain, and Alice's visions don't directly affect the mind, which is why *those* powers work on Bella. The movies didn't bother making this distinction clear, which is probably where the confusion lies.
Also, the movies showed the electricity quite clearly, which makes it look very physical
It's like she wanted to give Bella and Edward a baby but not deal with the icky realities of dealing with infant care so she just pressed fast forward 😂😂
this birth scene solidified my firm disgust and disdain for childbirth at the ripe age of 13, not happening in this body
I’m glad there’s more than a few like minds here!

Yeah, I real childbirth doesn’t happen like that
@@angelabby2379 @AJ Come on people! Don't invalidate her opinion like that. Twilight might have been the start for her decision never to bear a child, but I'm sure she has thought about it some more at this point. Anyway, it doesn't matter. If she doesn't want to give birth, than that's her choice and no amount of "That's not an accurate depiction of childbirth" will change that
Another woman that understands what the real relationship should’ve been the whole time! A woman of culture
Literally Robert Pattinson talking about Twilight is the best thing ever
I'm 64 & I loved the books! My ex-daughter-in-law turned me onto the books. I thought that the 1st book was a bit boring but then I got into New Moon & started liking it. I've been a vampire lover since the 60's when Dark Shadows was on TV.
I love how controlling the elements, causing hallucinations and being Irish are all comparably exciting.
10:44 I always read it as Jacob coerced Bella into kissing him because he said he was going to put himself in danger and die otherwise. Edward basically confirmed that after reading his mind.
That's how I felt in the book but I feel the movie amps up the triangle? I haven't read Eclipse since before Breaking Dawn originally released though
@@AmandaTheJedi from what I understand the movies do try and make it more love triangle like.
He also says that she loves him.
He is literally disgusting. He manipulates he through guilty and pitty. Never respects her choices about HER life, and is all about what he wants. Who would like this person for their daughter? Even more with him wanting to be around while she is still a child and he is waiting for her to grow so it can be "legal"? It is disgusting.
@@daiane2649 The whole idea of them imprinting on women while having such terrible tempers seems toxic (even age aside). They become obsessed, are super strong, can't seem to take "no" for an answer. One supposedly accidentally tore half the face off of an imprintee girl who rejected him and now they're married...
That fake battle scene in the end absolutely blew my fourteen-year-old mind when I saw it in theaters. I haven't seen it since but I remember absolutely loving it after the shock had worn off, despite all the death and destruction
I really can't stop laughing when she screams "You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster!" Bravo! A masterpiece of film writing!

To be fair if I hadn’t had a subscription already it would have worked.
Because I'm subscribed to your channel, UA-cam thinks that I like Twilight.
I do not.
But I'm still all about your Twilight videos. They make me laugh. So. Much.
UA-cam does not know best! Haha that made me laugh pretty hard.
I think the imprint thing was actually described decently in the movies at least by Jacob. When he tells Bella what is entails and later when you hear the same monologue when he imprints on Renesmee, he says something along the lines of "And you will be anything she wants you to be. A friend, a brother, a lover, a protector". I think what imprinting means, is that the wolves in a way don't have a choice in what they feel for their imprinted, because that choice is up to the person they imprinted on. So if, let's say, Claire, only ever wants Quill to be a brother figure for her, I think that is what he will stay as and won't feel anything romantic for her, yet he won't pursue any form of a romantic relationship with someone else, in case Claire suddenly wants him to be her lover. Also maybe because nothing else will be more important than their imprint, so how can they ever try to give themselves to someone else.
Again, don't know if this is true, but that was how I interpreted it. So it isn't like they are raising their imprint (if they are a child when they meet them) to be with them. It's that their nature needs their imprint in their lives and will choose the role that the imprint gives them. Aka, a friend, or a brother, or a lover, but always a protector of some kind.
Based on Jacob’s explanation that would make sense.... but in that case, Sam and Emily should not have been together.
It's been 2 year so please ignore this, just want to get the thoughts out, sorry!--
But that's still awful for the imprinter and the imprinted. Unless the imprinter is now aromantic and/or asexual until/if the imprinted change their mind? If they enjoy being ace that's one thing, but it doesn't seem voluntary? If their not ace before imprinting, then the only role missing in their lives is that of a partner, and the imprinted is the only one that can fill that, no matter what the imprinted want. Still feels icky.
And the imprinted, especially if that person has been with them for most of their lives, will feel some kind of duty/ responsibility to that person, and will feel like they at least need to be open to romance? Especially since there has yet to be an example of a fully realized imprinting relationships that's not romantic?
@@TheDarkAgez Oh yeah, totally agree. My mind has very much changed since I made this comment two year ago(?).
I think Stephanie Meyer tried to minimize how fucked up it was in the book, with the way she described it, and I sadly was one of the people that fell for the minimization.
Imprinting is fucked up, both for the imprinter and the imprinted. They are both stuck with each other, whether they like it or not, until one of them die and even then nothing will ever be the same.
I keep thinking back to Sam, who loved Leah with all his heart, but had to end the relationship because he imprinted on Emily, and she wanted a romantic relationship, or it at least became that. And all three of them lost something. Sam and Emily lost Leah, but Leah lost both the man she loved and her favorit cousin!
All I am trying to say is, you are completely right; imprinting is creepy and awful!
@@stineandersen56 Thank you for coming back to this after all this time, I'm so sorry LMAO But yeah no, I was trying to make sense of it too! I know she's tried the JKR backpedal, but the awfulness is so steeped in! She really double downs on it in the writing, as much as the movies try to go around it, which I appreciate to a degree. The worst part is that it was so unnecessary. Oh, Stephanieeee lol
