- Twilight Character Alice Cullen's Dark Backstory Was Deleted From The Movies.

“Twilight’s” Alice Cullen, born Mary Alice Brandon, has one of the most interesting backstories of any of the Cullen family. The movies highlight the importance of Alice’s visions-- especially with the battle scene in “Breaking Dawn Part 2”-- but there’s still so much left unsaid about the psychic vampire’s human beginnings. For one, she had a terrible father who had her thrown in an asylum, where she lost her memories before finally meeting Jasper Hale. She was also able to adopt that “vegetarian” vamp lifestyle on her own, because she knew the Cullens were in her future. Someone this impressive should definitely have her own movie-- and not just “The Mary Alice Brandon File” short-film, even though it’s pretty incredible.
Why Alice’s story never made it into the movies is mostly to do with time constraints and hiring all those extra actors, but there’s also a reason that makes sense to the story-- Alice can’t really remember her life as a human, so how would she be able to tell everyone about her deep, dark past? Still, a flashback of Alice's strange beginnings would have highlighted her incredible strength, and also her bond with Edward. Thankfully, Stephenie Meyer’s “Midnight Sun” gives us a deeper look at this bond and how much Edward Cullen really knew about Bella Swan and their future thanks to Alice. Let’s explore Alice’s tragic history and discuss how we might’ve known her better if her backstory had been a bigger part of the hit movie franchise.

@Super Daphne tf?
Right! It's a pretty awesome storyline.
I am your 1k
@@selener9452 wow thank you.
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see a movies with Alice’s back story.
My sister knows
ua-cam.com/video/nVR6aqEnn1c/v-deo.html
Me 2
I know the backstory
I would love to watch a twilight saga just with Alice’s story
Honestly I never found Edward, Jacob, or Bella interesting. I was most interested in the cullens, I kind of wish they made a prequel about the cullens like their backstories, how they moved from place to place, and how they made a treaty with the wolves. (I know it explains the Wolf story but I want more detail, it couldn’t have been that simple to get along.)
Exacly
Totally
I loved the volturi!
The story behind the treaty is in Midnight Sun.
Read midnight sun!!! Def gives all the backstory much more fleshed out on the cullens. I kinda hope that stephenie Meyer decides to do new moon from Jacob’s POV and we get the wolf background
I love twilight but I find every vampire's backstory more interesting .
@Dizi Editleri nope begger
Exactly
ua-cam.com/video/nVR6aqEnn1c/v-deo.html
Same!!
Yea me to that’s why I wanted to know Alice’s
Alice’s past is more interesting than the whole twilight franchise.
Honestly the whole family has fascinating backstories
Every single side character does
Mhm
No
The entire series had so so much promise but the author focused far too much on the romance plot. She totally could have expanded the universe so much more and made it so much in depth.
All of the Cullen,s need there own stories
All the characters need there own backstories
PERIOD
I would like to see Jasper’s story with Maria.
Thing is most of them do, Carlisle’s back story and journey in the books is one of the most interesting parts of the twilight saga. The films just cut most of the in-depth details out or just ignore them all together
Even in the books they didn't really go into Alice's back story. I would like more books focusing on some of the back stories (like Alice's and also a future saga (maybe) featuring Renesme
Alice’s cute personality reminds me of Luna Lovegood
So so true and if you are a big Harry Potter fan you should watch this video
Your right I had not thought about that
how? i don’t see it at all
@@queenjeski591 I don’t really know how. It’s just my opinion though
@@queenjeski591 They both just are incredibly authentic and have this incredible loyality to their peers while having bit of a weird side that appears cute and innocent. Both in the books and movies imo
I really wish they’d gone more into everyone’s backstory. It’s why the second half of breaking dawn is my favorite. So many interesting characters from different experiences. Heck, give me a spin off of the Egyptians or the Irish, maybe even the Denali coven. More about the tension between the Romanians and the Volturi.
one thing that the books can still get praise for was covering such interesting backstories. however, i really thought midnight sun would cover the cullens lives and backstory further but i was quite disappointed.
OMG yes that would be the perfect movie!
Breaking Dawn and Eclipse are my favorites for that reason. We learn about so many backstories from so many of the characters
I believe (because I am from Romania) that The problem between The Romanian vampires and The Volturi was because The history says that vampires are originally from Transilvania (România) you know... Vlad Țepes... Dracula... And I think there were some fights for power between them... Just my opinion.
What's amazing is that Stephanie Meyer wrote these amazing characters with interesting backstories... but made Bella the focus of the story.
A tually there was quite a lot of focus on the Cullens stories but they simply reduced it all to the lovestory for the movies and that's why it received so much hate
Alice’s backstory would have improved the movies immensely. The franchise needed more layers to it, and her story would have created depth.
Her story could have been a spin off trilogy and been another 3 movies.
Exactly
All of the Cullens' backstories are infinity more interesting than the actual plot
Most people agree with that 😂😂
except edward. he got the flu :)
Emmett fought a bear, I mean come on, fighting a bear alone is much more interesting than the entire plot of New Moon
One of my favourite films is eclipse because it has Rosalie's and jaspers backstories.
@@kinsey11it’s more than that but yeah
Alice's backstory would have been the most interesting.
FOR REAL
Once I finished reading the books, I ended up reading further into the cullens and the wolves. Took me a week to read the first book, five days for New Moon, three for Eclipse, and I spent all day reading Breaking Dawn.
Twilight is actually one of my favorite movie series.
The books are still really enjoyable even though the movies aren’t and the toxic relationship is prominent
I sorta prefer the books but the movies are good. . .edward and bella are so awkward in the first movie lol
Took me 3 days to read the first 2 days to read the second a week to read the 3rd (I was busy) and I'm just about to read the 4th, so excited
Also ya the books made me appreciate everyone in the stories more
@@dabitouyatodoroki3460 Yeah that’s why I prefer the book and some of the angles are a little weird the other movies aren’t as bad tho but I still prefer the books since they miss some stuff out in the movies
They cut everything, she was the reason why James took revenge against Edward
In Which book u read alice’s story ??
@@maryamalkhanjri9628 in the first one, Twilight...
I need to read ALL those books again
@@maryamalkhanjri9628 Alice's story is described in Twlight, in the movie James made when he tortured Bella. Don't people watch the movies before they comment, or read the books?
I know 😭
I was always intrigued with Esme since she met Carlisle once prior to the time he changed her. I was also intrigued by Emmett because even after turning he took care of his human family
Stephanie Meyer should write novels of the other vampires’ backstories.
I one hundred percent agree! There are tons of fascinating stories in that series.
She did. They just weren’t in the main movies. Only film of them is the author approved fan made short films. Some of them were in the this video.
ASHLEY GREENE LOOKS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL,AMAZING,AND VERY TALENTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately she was blacklisted in Hollywood
@@deborahtucker7022 can you give detail about it? I didn’t know that
@@deborahtucker7022 what why?
Watch her in Step up High waters
@@ivanhdez723 y’all google exists
I think both Alice's & Jasper's backstory is the coolest.
Exactly both have a great backstory & I hope we get a Jalice movie with Ashley & Jackson
I really want to read a book about Carlisle's backstory, his youth, his time with the Volturi and in depths how he meets each member of his family. :)
Honestly wonder why they didn't have dedicated movies for each couple like they were milking the series. So why not have mini series or another movie for each couple.
You read my mind. i thought the same, a mini series for each couple and how they all came to join the cullens, then Twilight to start from there. ooh the Volturi as well, so much to show about them.
Yes. Ashlee Green should reprise her role and create a backstory movie!
Yesssss!!!I Think ASHLEY GREENE!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE ASHLEY SHE'S SO TALENTED!!!!!! I WANT,I THINK ASHLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this energy, but stay far away from Ashley lol@@anajuliaana6612
I’ve sensed her to be a strong person with a kind heart this whole time!! She is the EVERYTHING to this saga 🖤
I love the back stories!!!! really wish they went into them more. I really need to read all these books!!!!
you really do! they are amazing!
Me tou 😊❤
Wait, people made short films on Alice's backstory ? That is amazing. I want to watch them !!!
I always thought Ashley Green was/is an unappreciated actress. I found this fictitious information about Alice’s past very interesting. I was a diehard Twilight fan and I’d love to see her past get its cinematic due in a well-publicized movie, for TV or the big screen.
Watch her twilight effect podcast
Why they are not making Twilight series?... ? There is so much material for at least 3 shows that could intertwine 💁🏻♂️
It’s be on freeform 😩😩
Probably because Kristen (bella) cheated on Robert (edward) irl
I don't think that's the case, surely they would be professional enough to film with one another even if they were on bad terms. But you might be right, nobody knows.
i would've loved if these back stories was adopted into a tv series..
What I would like to see is a mini series about all the backstories from the Twilight Saga
They exist. They’re fanmade but they’re not bad.
@@BearsInSpayce I know.. But I think a Netflix series would be great too😅
@@simoner7167 oh I see what you’re saying! No I totally agree with that!
what i would like to see is a 6th movie :( but unfortunately Robert Pattinson doesn't want anything to do with twilight anymore
I personally feel like they should've done a backstory of the Cullen's life before they met Bella. Would've been interesting.
The depth of these characters lives would be incredible for twilight fans. I would love to see a series of films, that focused solely on the vampire lives. They could call it “THE CULLEN CHRONICLES”, and give insight to the characters and how they all came together as a sort of unique family. I think viewers and fans would absolutely love this and would reprise their enthusiasm of the genre. Please consider this and give the twilight fans another dose of our beloved characters!
Read the books and the new “midnight sun” and I have a better understanding of Alice’s story😌
@ac Ac that’s fine. It’s not for everyone. What is it that you just can’t continue reading it?
@@keanue808 when i finished half of the book i never took it back in my hands again ... dont know why, i tried, but after a few lines i close it again and now i didnt read it for weeks anymore. Still unfinished.
Most of the books wore word for word along with the movie!
are the books worth reading if you're not really into books? i'm a huge twilight (movie) fan but i never read books lol
@@elena93755 i liked the first one the most, part 2 was very nice as well. read them before the movies came out, i must have been around 17 or 18 to this time i think. Then I read the rest. Now, with 29 i read the latest and it wasnt my thing anymore. so when i was 17 i enjoyed the books.
I have always been most intrigued by Alice’s story than any other in the book.
forget about Bedward
let's focus on Jalice
I totally agree!
Unpopular opinion: Jasper's backstory is the most interesting
for clarification i only care about the whole maria thing im pretending i didn't see or hear the rest lmao
YES
Even more unpopular opinion
... Carlisle's back story is way more interesting. They just didn't cover it very well. 🤣
@@bethanyhanna9464 omg yeah
@@bethanyhanna9464 in which book carliel’s story was covered ??
I second that. And why wasn't it mentioned in the movie that Jasper is an empath (could influence people's emotions) and that wasn't used although much needed
Actually the reason Alice’s backstory wasn’t in the films is that the backstory was in the Twilight Official Guide that came out after the films had wrapped.
But they completely kicked everything about her past. From the fact that James knew her in her human life to her discovering this. They give some sort of recognition to almost everyone but her. Rose got a flashback, as did Edward and Jasper. Emmett, Esme and Carlisle all got some mention or nod to their history. She got nothing. A simple flashback of James attempting to kill her, the old vampire getting her first, and him killing the old vamp would have done fine... or even a mention like in the first book.
@@TheZombifiedFairy and arguably alices backstory was the most relevant considering james’ circumstance played out for the first three movies.
Screw that! i need a movie.. LOL. Stephenie should've made up her mind now to do Alice's story or not I'm gonna it..🤣 been waiting for decade
This was great, and now at least all of these actors in this story-within-a-story can be appreciated for their contribution
I can't even imagine the disappointment of putting out your best effort in a film that goes on to become a mega blockbuster, only to have the *entire* sequence end up on the cutting room floor...
Yes and yes please please MS. Stephanie Meyers bring us Alice's story! Also yes, please bring back our wonderful actress that brought her to life for us in the first place, Ms. Ashley Greene!
Don't you wish they would have included this info in the films!?
Yesssssssss
Yes
Yes I don't even have words for how much I love your channel. Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you stay safe and warm remember to keep you 😷 on
-Love you so much❤️
Yes I would because I feel like I would have understood why she was so powerful and so cheerful all the time
Absolutely
I would like a story about alice’s background!!!!
I think all their backstories would be awesome to see in more depth but I didn't even think about the fact they barely touched on Alice's back story in Twilight. I would LOVE to see her full back story!!
Wow you made these characters appear way more dynamic than the movie protrayed
I would love a full length movie of all the characters honestly
I hope someone realizes how badly we all want movies for the Cullens backstories! Especially Alice’s 💕
I love Twilight. I imagine being 70 still watching it.
Favorite character in entire series, by far the most beautiful...
💯
I was always curious about Alice’s backstory, thank you!!
That was interesting, we got Rosalie’s backstory why no Alice’s
They definitely need to do a spin off for each vampire about their backstories
The Twilight movies were so popular and loved that more films could have been made and somehow added into the movie series all of the Cullen’s backstory’s.
She def needs her own movie I literally knew she was so important and she doesn’t get enough credit
The books explained that she can't remember, because she spent nearly her entire life in the dark, because of the way insane asylums were back then. Also, she'd have a southern drawl, if she were from Biloxi. So, while entertaining... That bit of fan fiction completely missed the mark.
Not everyone who's born and raised in the south as a southern drawl.
still it would have been interesting to see her discover herself like in the books, even if it is just a reference of her learning her full name again.
She would've had a southern drawl just like Jasper but since her father was rich or wealthy maybe her family didn't
If she's been a vampire for years she could've lost the accent. Also this isn't fan fiction it is the author who made that the backstory
I used to be in love with this movie when i was a kid
Your old I’m 14
Im rewatching all the movies these days just cause the new 2 books might be written.
I havent had such great fun in a while
Yikes! How old are you!?!?

Ah I’m 33
I was 21 when then first film came out.
You will have only being 11.
Time sure fly’s !
Yes, she should have her own movie.
I would love for Stephanie Meyer to write Alice’s full story. I’d read that in a heartbeat. ❤️
I absolutely love Twilight. This was so fun to watch, thanks for sharing!
The Twilight Movies are the best. I can’t get enough!!
Yes! I would LOVE to see her story! I was sad when the movies and books ended! Love all the actors in as well! well! Love Ashley Greene! PLEASE make a movie!
I feel like there needs to be a twilight backstory of how all of the different supernatural creatures were made. Including vampires, werewolves, and wolves
It was a nice video, I was really curious about Alice's past. Thanks to this video, I learned it.
Thanks for posting
When most of the supporting charters are more interesting than the main ones.🤯
Yep. They all are
💯
Yes they should definitely have her do her own movie, that would be awesome
LOVED this vid - thank you!!!
I read the books and i LOVED alice because of how sad her backstory was and how alone she was, and how her and Edwards basically could see the visions together was a really nice touch that i wish they showed more often in the movies.
I love Twilight so so so much! Anything with a bit of their backstories is even better
A mind that can see the future and A mind that can read other minds. That's a powerful combination to have as an ally. No wonder the Volturi were jealous 😂
This could have given the movie so much more edge!
Wow they should have made the whole series into a tv show instead like they did the vampire diaries . That way they could have gotten all the Cullen's background story and would have given them more film time . I would have so loved seeing Alice's background story she was one of my fave characters anyways lol . 😊
❤love all the books .
Want more of more storys.
Not me watching twilight just for the cullens and that’s it
I'm with you 💯reboot with individual stories on each one production values have changed so much we deserve it !
💯
This was so well done 💗
I wish they Stephenie would write a book about the other Cullen’s back stories
Yes absolutely, I think Alice's story has alot to teach us, plus it's sounds really interesting.
Midnight Sun was wonderful. I'm so glad Stephenie went back to it.
ABSOFREAKINLUTELY!!! Ashley deserves to have her own movie! I would LUV to see her story on film.
Agree
Nvm ur talking about the actor.
Omg they should make a mini series about all they're back stories!! 😍
She deserves her own series to herself frfr.
I love to see a movie with Alice's story!
She's one of the only interesting and likable characters in the series tbh
she is absolutely my favorite vamp I think her on a movie should have been a priority lol
This story should've been the novel.
I agree, so much is left out between the books and the making of the movies - sadly this is always the case when movies are made from books - but I'm sure many would like to see an individual movie of how each of the characters became who they were - this way a lot more would understand the Cullens lives
Yes Alice should totally get a her own sequel, her life is interesting and mysterious and everything that was said here it just makes it more intriguing to want to know more and see it in a movie or a sequel.
Any of the other Cullens would have made for a more interesting story than Edward's. Emmett didn't even have much of a backstory, but he at least has a personality
yea i always wondered what his life was like, he also didn't have much lines in the movie :/
His book made me think Edward had a hilarious personality.
@@maddisonb4258 Really? He seemed melodramatic, "woe is me", and very arrogant to me
emmett was 100% the carrier in midnight sun, i dont think i could finish the book without his humour.
Yup!! He's a wild and crazy guy!! Definitely a fun-loving prankster!! That's why he and Rosalie are good together. She's so serious, and he's a clown.
Awesome video 👌
That's a movie I'd love to see. Come on Stephanie, write its, it'll be a hit in the making! 😊❤💚
💯
Love the video!! And the way you pronounced Biloxi was cute! It’s pronounced buh-luhk-see.
I'm just started reading midnight sun. I love it! I wish it would have translated better into the movie side too. I would have loved to know all of their pasts, not just Jasper and Carlisle.
They do talk in the books about how Edward and Alice have this special bond and work together all the time. They’re best friends. Then when Bella comes along Alice works to include Bella in their duet to make it a trio. She also displays disappointments in some of Edwards “stupid” choices. Like the choice to leave Bella in the second book when Alice knows that it will not turn out well for either of them or their mental health. The books do touch on Alice’s family having her institutionalized. But the back story of how she’s turned and by whom, I think would have been a good thing to include. In my opinion Rosalie’s story is far more disturbing than Alice’s. Even with the possibility that Alice’s dad had her mom killed so that he could be with his new lover (whom he married six months later. ) I think they could have cut her back story down to a couple of minutes and still included it in one of the movies. If they’d included it in the fourth movie when Bella is pregnant, then it would have made a lot more sense to the plot overall, and why she chooses to leave the Cullen family for a little while in the last movie.
Why did people disliked?
Because they are idiot's
Alice’s story is sooooo much more interesting than Bella’s boring azz
I didnt read the books but stewart butchered acting as bella. The acting was just soo bad. Idk if bella was more interesting in the book?
@@erk44 Bella really wasn’t very interesting in the book. Just a plain girl with a very boring lifestyle. The only thing that made her interesting was her ties to the supernatural world. I loved the books in high school but when I reread them I couldn’t understand what I loved about them. But I would say they’re still worth a read.
i don’t agree with this. cause i think people enjoy stories where they can relate with and twilight had that because of the main character. kristen stewart is a great actor and she portrayed bella just as she should’ve in my opinion
@@erk44 agree!!! Bella had more spunk the book, and she was humorous at times. Stewart's character was sad, flat
, and cringey
@@janelleg597 I think a lot of the acting in twilight is over the top n doesn’t really give the characters depth, edward was funny sometimes in the books and playful at times from what I can remmeber but was mostly just mysterious and romantic in the movies, same with Bella while I don’t think Kristen Stewart did a bad job I think she didn’t seem like the book Bella who also was just very quiet and insecure but not bland and monotone
Id like to hear about emmetts background. 🤷🏼♀️
He got mauled by a bear and Rosalie saved him and dragged him to their house for Carlisle to turn him.
Yes me too! I want to hear about his life as a human and what it was like when he first became a vampire and what he really thought of his new family.
Hell yea! Man that’s some good storytelling Stephaine Myers I didn’t even notice she didn’t get a backstory nor did Emmett in twilight eclipse boo!!
I would love to see Alice’s story on the big screen
Yes please do a story about Alice!!!! I miss seeing all of them and most of All Alice is my favorite 1000%
Stephanie should write books for all the back stories of the Cullen's and even the volturi.
I understood that there was a competition for writers/directors to create 7 short stories based on Stephanie Meyer's characters. This was after the movies and books were made. That is why none of it is in the movies. The short film is an extension of them. I'm not sure if Stephanie Meyer was there with Kailey and Samantha Spear while writing, I thought she was credited for the use of her characters.
I love twilight I think it’s so cool to learn the backstory of characters
If I was the writer, I would be proud of this video.
Didn't read the books but I did a deep deep dive into the lives of both the vampires and wolves. I was shocked to find out Leah and Emily were not only cousins but besties prior to Sam imprinting. & she would manipulate the pack bond so they could hear her pain. How Jacob had a whole ass sister that Paul imprinted on, and that Billy Black was a tad jealous he never became a wolf. Also Quil becoming a wolf either meant Billy or Harry Clearwater had an affair with his mom. I thought it was really interesting that Marcus basically had no choice to be apart of the Volturi, and that Aro killed his mate. They made Marcus look so old, but he was in his 20s when he was turned. So much stuff that wasn't covered, they could've easily expanded the franchise.
I wish they went more into the fact the wolves were shifters not werewolves, and that werewolves were real, and a single one could decimate a coven.
