once i was trying to come up with a cool title for a book and all i thought of was "a court of fire and fury" or something like that and i was like DAMN that sounds cool!! next day i went to the library and *there it was* . curse you sarah j maas
@@anava7030 tbh I kinda imagine her saying it in a deadly calm tone. Like for an example: “so you named my daughter (pauses for a sec before looking up a Jacob and raises a brow) after the Loch Ness monster?” It was pure silent as he was at a lost of words until She let’s out a dry chuckle that Jacob soon follow up with his own but came out as an awkward and weak. He went to scratch the back of his head and gain the courage to attempted to explain himself again but Bella only respond with a smile that seemed to fool Jacob just for a sec before she immediately dropped her smile and rocked his ass out straight out of the woods. Yea I know it’s kinda cringy but I think it would have made her look kinda bad ass 😂😂
That line is literally one of the few memories I have of playing games on my computer while my mom watched twilight in the background in like 2015 and honestly just being confused
it's been 9 months (a whole gestational period, in fact) and i still have not gotten over "i cannot stress how much a baby was fallen in love with". peak comedy
I can't believe people made fun of Robert Pattinson for how Twilight made him "look gay" when Edward is literally the most heterosexual role he's ever played in his entire filmography.
@@laurenmiller4824 When I was a Kid I thought that a shirtless tanned werewolf was gayer than a pale, overpowered, blood sucking disco ball (And yes, those were the descriptions that I gave to them when I was 11)
I love how you're in every comment section lol Seeing you pop upbin the comments is like "aight, this channel is Lindsay approved, let's check out some more content" lol
I remember my older sister was a potterhead during the Twilight craze and she has told me many tales of the battles she had to fight against twihards claiming Twilight was better
I enjoy that Pattinson used the money from the shows to just dive into deeply weird indie stuff, and ended up with enough credit across the industry to just do whatever the hell he wants.
While I love that you emphasize the fact that Jacob fell in love with a baby, i would also like to add that one of his pack mates fell in love with a toddler and unlike Jacob and Renessme this toddler did NOT super age so.... paranormal groooming
From what I remember, it was framed as "oh, he's just like a big brother to her" which is *fine* if that's all you're going for, and would be interesting if it was a soulmates can take any shape thing, but they explained it that she WAS going to fall in love with him when she got older, and ew.
@@dd-iy8xv I would agree with that, if there were previous examples of platonic mates(that I would have loved, platonic soulmates is something that should be used more often). Jacob and Ness are the first example of the whole "imprinting is not inherently sexual". It doesn't help Leah's arc in the books and the hints left of the reason she is not Sams mate it's because she was a probable wolf and because of that, sterile.
Did anyone see the theory that women are born with all their eggs, so that's why Jacob was attracted to Bella the whole time, but men's sperm goes through a certain cycle, so the week before the honeymoon Jacob "oddly" found Edward attractive for that brief period because...Renesme
Given that Meyer is a Mormon, and with the commensurate lack of scientific literacy inherent to that lifestyle choice, I'm inclined to say that definitely isn't an intentional thing - not even a subconsciously included thing... Though it definitely makes sense.
But how did Deadward even produce sperm? Surely the fact that his body ceased changing at the time he was bitten means that he has been carrying around the same sperm since 1918.
Sarah Z is like if Tumblr was a person but grew up and was low key embarrassed by their teenage obsessions but still has a vast array of extremely specific knowledge that’s gotta go somewhere
@@TheManWithTheFlan the Elder Tumblr...ages ago, the Elder Tumblr laid waste to our lands, he burnt our crops & assaulted our daughters. He judged our favorite fandoms & burnt all the ships in the Harbor of Love...it was a massacre! We must band together to defeat the Elder Tumblr once & for all heroes!
Superwholock was awful. I wasn't involved with the fandom, but I was a casual Doctor Who fan, and I had to stop watching it because one of my friends hated the superwholock fandom so much that it was starting to negatively effect their opinion of me. To this day they still don't know I quit liking it to save our friendship, I'm pretty sure they think I just had a moment of clarity and realized it was dumb and cringe.
Now knowing how Robert Pattinson actually is off-screen, I find it hilarious that tons of people wanted to date him just based off the twilight movies. I mean yeah he’s pretty or hot or whatever, but he puts weird shit in his sandwiches and had dinner with a stalker because he was lonely and just generally makes me laugh but also go “wow I’m glad I’m not dealing with that.” He’s amazing. He terrifies me and it’s fun.
He not only had dinner with the stalker, apparently the stalker was so put-off by him that they gave up on him altogether. I'm summarizing, but it's hilarious.
My mom is STILL a twilight mom. I cannot even fathom how much fanfiction she has read in 13 years. We have an Edward cardboard cutout in the living room :(
Hahahaha I'm just imaging how creepy that is - getting up at midnight to have a glass of water and BAM Edward Cullen giving you 'fuck me' eyes in the dark
The meme about Twilight is that “Everyone in Twilight is far more interesting than Edward and Bella.” I’m not arguing, you have a literal corpse bride, a doctor who ignored his bloodlust to take care of his patients and a girl that can literally see into the future. I never liked Twilight, but I feel robbed because we could’ve had such an interesting book if Meyer would’ve focused on these characters
reading the first book, there were a lot of cool moments I loved. I constantly went "now if he wasnt so creepy....". I do think there's some cool lore in that series
Not to mention Jasper, a Confederate General who was changed to run a newborn vampire army sweeping across the South, who can feel and control emotions, and who gave up his entire life at the drop of a hat to become a vampire-vegan when an eccentric petite psychic just showed up one day and told him that she was his future if he just followed her wherever she went. His story, Alice's story, Rosalie's story, Carlisle's story, those are all way, way more interesting and worth exploring in depth.
I feel like a better way for Twilight to have been done would have been to do the first book, and then the rest of the books were "spin-offs" about the other characters and their respective relationships. It's something I've kinda always thought. 😆
@@lauravampire1276 I wonder how the members feel about it- like they’d have to find out that two of the most infamous franchises during the late 2000s/early/mid 2010s were inspired by their band-
Edward saying "I'm a killer, Bella!" and just drawing a gun and shooting the first random background character he sees would be a legitimately hilarious kind of non-sequitur in a parody. Too bad they had to ruin it by forcing a nonsensical reference into it.
I think it would be funnier if he says it, shoots a gun, and someone offscreen just says “ow” and there’s a thud noise. Way simpler, still dark comedy.
Fun fact: during the height of Twilight's popularity there was this German acting reality competition show where the main prize was to get a small role in Eclipse, and then the final version of the movie didn't use the scene they shot with the winner 😭
It remembers me of a video of... I think it was Screen Junkies? In which they did a contest in which one of three girls could win a ticket to see the last Twilight movie in theater by answering questions about the saga, except only when the camera started rolling they revealed the true contestents would be the girls' dads and they would just have to sit on the sideline watching them trying to remember things about movies they didn't really care about.
Listen, I wouldn’t date Tom Riddle but if you put him on a marry, fuck, kill game... I’m not killing him either. Neville IS husband material, but he doesn’t have that spice? Tom Riddle is ✨spicy✨
I wonder if another reason "Hunger Games" got so big was because Jennifer Lawrence was the exact opposite of Kristen Stewart. She was a loud, super-smiley girl who played a tough, fight-for-herself character.
She did not commit the sin of "being unapproachable", rejecting *the gaze* by not smiling. I was never into either franchise, but this shit is impossible to ignore now.
As a middle school boy at the time, I do remember Hunger Games being seen as the “cool” alternative to Twilight, because it dealt with more mature themes and the love triangle was more of a side plot. Not really much to say on the actresses, but J-Law did win an Oscar shortly after the first movie came out so there was definitely hype.
They have a really fulfilling and healthy poly relationship, Charlie at the center will leah and Carlisle have a rivalry. The rivalry culminates in the finale, after Charlie got hurt or smth, when they realize that they both deeply care for Charlie. Then make out session, or more depending on the network. Season 2 is less about monster hunting and just focuses on the poly relationship
If the "The Pandemic has culturally regressed us by a decade" theory holds true, then along with Twilight we'll see a resurgence of college Ska bands and Skyrim content.
There should be a Spongebob meme with the "Imagination" rainbow, but instead of Imagination it should say "Irony". That'd be perfect for this situation
He has a better personality and attitude than Edward "I stalked a girl, broke into her house to watch her sleep, forced her to let me drive her home by threatening to drag her back to my car if she tried to run away, ripping the engine out of her truck so she couldn't go anywhere I didn't want her to" and so on Cullen.
I thought that was funny also, but TO BE FAIR Pattison looked a lot better in Goblet of Fire :/ I mean, I guess that's a personal opinion but he looked so much... greasier in Twilight idk
Also I just discovered that the “team Peeta” thing meant who we wanted Katniss to end up with 😀 Bro I thought we meant our favorite character I’ve been proudly saying “team haymitch” for years fucc
I was in prison when the last movie was hitting theatres and let me tell you.....inmates LOVED the previous twilight's that kept playing on tv. Like to the point that it started a fight because some guys wanted to watch one of the movies...again...instead of the football game that night. Lol it really tripped me out.
I can't understand people saying that Kristen Stewart 'can't act' when she shouted "You nicknamed my daughter after the loch ness monster?!'" with such genuine fury and without laughing at all. Like cmon, that alone takes skill lol edit: thanks for all the likes lol I just wanna take this moment to thank Kristen Stewart for being part of my gay awakening 💜
She’s good in some other movies... just not in most of the Twilight movies, imo. It seems like almost everyone who worked on it just HATED working on it, especially Robert Pattinson.
She's said in an interview that she tried to put emotion in and the director just kept telling her to tone it down so she ended up doing the most bland, emotionless acting she could and that's what the director loved.
@@SorowFame it just doesn’t roll off the tongue. I literally thought it was pronounced Renee-smee when I read the spelling back when I read about it on blogs back in the day.
I always thought the comments like "vampires in Twilight can be killed easily by X from other franchise" were weird, because my main issue with the book back in the days, when I read it the first time, is that the vampires are presented as totally cheated. They litteraly have no weakness, even the sun is harmless to them, so I was just like "what's the point" lol.
Yeah they're too overpowered. Vampires in other series have strengths but plenty of weaknesses to balance them out. Twilight's can only die from being ripped apart and set on fire.
yeah, one of the reasons I love the vampire lore of The Vampire Diaries. Now, this show does like to undermine itself and loophole itself, but there are some (cool to me) set rules about what kills vampires.
When my friend and decided to binge watch the Twilight Series in one sitting during this renaissance to go back and forth about our first impressions, when we get to the sparkling vampires bit I really stretched the ideas as to why sparkling would make sense if vampires were killed by sunlight in the past. I was telling my friend that it could make sense that modern vampires had evolved to a point where they're skin became like a mirror to sunlight, and reflected it before it could penetrate their bodies and harm them. Their skin sparkles as a sign of reflecting said light, and may be more metallic/glass in quality, and that's the same reason why the crack and shatter. I thought it could be an interesting evolutionary adaptation if that's what the author was thinking, so vampires could now thrive in a previously inhospitable environment. Then my friend looked at as I finished my reasoning and told me "I think you're trying way too hard to make the sparkles make sense"
I don't know if you read the books, but a fun tidbit in them was that in Twilight the stereotype about vampires burning in the sunlight came about because the vampires would sparkle so aggressively that they looked like they were on fire. When Bella first saw Edward in the sunlight she was scared because she thought he was on fire until she got close to him and actually saw him.
@@HadenBlake SDLKfnk it's not a theory it's literally in the books. Bella sees Edward and because he's sparkling so brightly she thinks he's on fire and screams.
Just a remark: the 'father' of all media vampires, Dracula, did not burn in the sun, either. There is a scene in the novel where he's seen walking around in sunlight, oggling a young woman with a pretty hat. So Edward and his family not burning up is fine - they're closer to Dracula for it.
@@cayreet5992 Neither did Carmilla (which predates Dracula), she only got a bit more languid and weaker during the day. The reason Le Fanu and Stoker didn't write their vampiric characters as burning up in the sunlight is probably because vampires in Slavic folklore (which is where the modern Western idea of a vampire more or less originated from) weren't described as being harmed by the sun either. Same with fangs; they weren't described as having those either. It's generally agreed it was Nosferatu (1922) which first depicted vampires as being harmed by sunlight and from there on out it became popularized to the point, that most people nowadays assume it's a given whenever vampires are portrayed in fiction.
Wait, so you're telling me that Kristin Stewart got into hot water because she had a relationship with a man who not only had power over her career but also was 20 years older than her and already married, and she was the one who caught the most flack for it? Yeah, that sounds about right.
No he got called out for cheating on his wife who he had kids with as well. Stewart got into hot water for literally only getting the role by sleeping with him.
@@PA-eo7fs With how often it's been revealed that women within showbiz face sexual exploitation, harassment and abuse, maybe we should try to avoid pinning equal amounts of blame on both parts for once and instead address the systemic problems and the men, not women, who perpetuate the culture that leads to women having to sexually degrade themselves in order to get a job?

People sure enjoy calling tumblr a dead website, but it sure has brought the internet a ton of memes, stories, analysis and internet culture even after its porn ban.
Nobody on tumblr calls it a dead website. In my experience, it's only gotten better the last two years, maybe due to there being less people on it. It almost has the vibes of like 2013 tumblr. Theres a lot of posts that I can imagine would be screenshotted to share on ifunny or whatever the kids are using these days.
Weirdly comforting that a huge chunk of young people have just reverted back to their 12 year old interests, I thought I was going crazy when I started watching supernatural again in 2020 and listening to mcr 😭
As a young undiagnosed Autistic teen girl in 2007 with no friends and constant bullying, twilight was absolutey my version of a cloth covered doll. It wasn't a healthy representaiton of relationships but the fantasy and escape it provided me kept me going through those years.
Like, is a teenager supposed to be thrilled about grown people with cameras following her? Is she meant to smile, get violent, make a public statement? Paparazzi culture is so fucking bizarre.
I’m Indigenous and while I was getting my very first tattoo the artist asked me what my ethnicity was and when I told him he was like ah yes like the twilight wolves and I wanted to die inside like okay that moment in my life is just gonna be on my skin for the rest of my life lol
Oh no! My kids'caregiver is Quillute. I found this out by asking about her tattoo. I believe my comment was something like "bummer about Twilight," which she rolled her eyes about with some grace... Our local museum (Seattle) I think commissioned or at least displayed a video project with an artist interviewing teenage Quillutes about their feelings about Twilight. I remember this one kid who looked to be about 16 telling the camera, "we don't turn into wolves, but we are descended from them..." I unironically loved that. Way to own your myths dude. I could tell our caregiver had some complicated feelings, but she didn't seem too keen to get into it at the time. I respect her privacy, but I was curious, and it's certainly a phenomenon. Bummer about your tattoo memory, I suppose it could be worse? Sorry to ramble at you...
Twilight was actually a vital step in cracking an Egg. My best friend in 08 was like "You're not man enough to read it" He was right, I read them and am a girl now.
Funnily enough, this book was my first step into being able to talk to girls. I was always shy around them and couldn’t form a complete sentence. I had a girlfriend at the time and we broke up because I was too shy. I sat down, read the entire series, and not only did it get me over the relationship not working, it also allowed me to have something to talk about with girls and broke all the shyness. Also, I am also now transitioning to being a girl. So maybe it was Twilight
Or not. Remember 2016? And how people said it was the worst year ever? Well now a lot people very forgot about all the bad things that happened in 2016, and are nostalgic for 2016.
@@kittykittybangbang9367 I’ve def seen nostalgia for 2016 but every time I have I’ve also seen a lot of ppl being like “wtf r u talking ab 2016 fucking sucked”. So I think generally people haven’t forgotten the negative aspects of that year so much as people are just desperate to return to ANY point in time pre-pandemic. There’s also something to be said ab 2016 being one of the last years there was any actual sense of normalcy. Like, everything since then has been a downward spiral. That being said, 2016 was awful and I’d elect 2015 as being the last year things felt relatively normal before 2016 kicked off the spiral towards the abyss. It is weird though how much nostalgia can make people blind towards the negative elements of whatever it is they’re nostalgic for.
this video gave me VIVID flashbacks to high school; specifically, I carpooled with a friend who had a certified Twilight Mom; pretty much every day for 3 years, we listened to the Twilight soundtrack on the way to school. I can't emphasize that enough: Every. Single. (school) Day. ...I could still probably list all the songs on it if I tried
My mother was also a huge fan and likewise always had the soundtrack running in her car. To this day just the thought of hearing Thousand Years again makes me shiver in revulsion - I very quickly learned to hate that song.
I want to point out imprinting is not portrayed accurately in the series; imprinting is what baby animals do when they open their eyes and see their caretaker for the first time. It's why ducklings follow their mothers around or why you have stories about farm animals befriending farmers who raised them, because they see them as their mother. So having it the other way around is....yah it's creepy.
IMHO: The Pern series by Anne McCaffrey did a really good job representing imprinting well ... but that was dragons fresh born, imprinting on their person/caretaker
i worked at a dvd rental store at the time Twilight was big, it never happens but before the store opened in the morning people were lined up to buy the DVD similar to the event of the new iPhone, crazy looking back at those times !

@@greyflash77 eyes Hagrid being "team slave race"("Yeah there's weirdos in every race" -Hagrid on some elves not wanting to be literal slaves) and "team muggle baiting"(yeah, remember when in Book 4 when Fred and George drop the ton tongue toffy, because they heard from Harry how abusive Dudley was, and their father chewed them out on how awful their behavior was and how actions like that is why his department exists? And how McGonagall chewed out Imposter Moody for using transfiguration as a punishment on a student, which was done over attacking another student behind their back? Hagrid didn't even have that background knowledge of Dudley's past actions to justify the fact that he tried to turn Dudley into a pig, just him eating someone else's cake, and then, unlike Moody, never fixed the tail he left Dudley with. Also is for the statue of secrecy not for the safety of wizards, but because both races should be separate)
My favourite is using actual southern slave state logic to justify house elves being in bondage (it was an actual thing that black people wanting to be free from slavery was classed as a mental illness).
Thank you for bringing up the issue with the Quileute Tribe!!! Speaking of bad takes... I remember being in the theater for the 2nd movie and when Jacob cuts his hair the audience went wild, saying "He looks so hot now!" In reality, cutting your long hair like that is for many tribes symbolic of losing connection to your culture. Some indigenous ppl were forced to cut their hair through forced assimilation. It was NOT a good thing that Jacob did that, and it always bothered me that the audience had a positive reaction to it.
I just realized how amusing the "Buffy stakes Edward" memes are. Like, the Slayer's type is literally "tortured immortal who swears he's not that bad, really." 100% the two end up in bed if they ever shared a universe.
much as i don't want to defend early-buffy angel before he went and got cool and funny in LA - at least he wasn't pathetic. edward's just boring and lacking conviction in every respect. so buffy would probably stake him for being dull imo
But does it have a payoff that nobody notices? The payoff for the "I don't like sand" line is Anakin picking up a handful of sand and gripping it tightly after learning his mom died. It's weird
@@Gloomdrake Not really. People hate the sand line because it’s the catalyst to Anakin and Padme initially consummating their relationship. The spider monkey line is just a memeable line from a character-building scene, not something integral to the plot.
Given how now we realise that the Harry Potter books and Rowling herself have quite a few "not like other girls" stuff, this mentality has aged like an yogurt.
Ah yes, my monthly dose of resurfacing drama from teen girl fandoms c. 2010 - I honestly forget how I found your channel but I'm glad I did! Equally interesting to take a look back on Twilight as someone who adamantly hated it in its prime
I think it's also pretty unfair that people blamed kristen steward for not portraying bella with more personality because she was basically given an impossible task. The books are written in first person from bellas perspective and she is constantly telling us via the narration what she thinks and how she reacts, but obviously that doesn't translate very well to a movie.
exactly! also i feel like she and jennifer lawrence were both unfairly criticized for accurately acting like their characters do in their books. both bella and katniss were described as quiet and expressing their emotions inwards, which just doesn't translate on a screen.
@@tss5320 I don't remember about Twilight, but a key part of Katniss' character in the books is that she doesn't have the charisma to persuade the in-universe audience to like her, and that we only like her because we're in her head. This is why they do the whole fake relationship with Peeta, but that isn't portrayed very well on film. People call her a poorly acted/written character, but really the character is just a better fit for a medium that lets us read her thoughts.
Kristen Stewart is one of those actors who is good in very specific circumstances, I also remember they tried to do a twilight/action girl thing again in that huntsman movie? yeah that’s not her vibe
When I first heard about the whole "imprinting on a baby" thing I thought "Oh cute, like how ducklings can imprint on a human and thing they are their mom but reverse, he will protect the baby like how own child". Because that's the only context I've heard imprinting being used.
This is what I hated most about twilight, by far. And no one else cares they’re like “oh haha yeah” SHES LIKE A YEAR OLD DOES NO ONE ELSE SEE THE ISSUE
To be fair, that's kind of how it was explained.....but with the gross implication that it would likely change into a romantic relationship when she was "old enough," which since she grew up fast, was probably around the real-time age of 7. And this was treated as a valid excuse for why it's okay. So basically the conversation went like, "You just fell in love with my infant????? Gross! Get away from her!" "Noooo it's fine, I'm not love with her! ....yet. Might happen later, up to her." "Oh okay I can deal with that, but you're on thin ice." Not really as valid of a defense as Meyer probably thought it was.
I remember the director for New Moon saying they switched the color pallet to match the wolves since Jacob played a more prominent role in this film. He wanted to go from cool toned vampires to warm toned wolves.
Despite all the hate for Twilight, those films had some moments of really good film making. They put in a lot of effort and thought, we simply must stan some dedicated film makers.
I don’t like how franchises switch directors for every film. It’s ruins the continuity. Every director wants to put their own spin on it and it just feels off.
@@HadenBlake not necessarily the film Jurassic park is very different compared to its book even though the author of the book helped write the script. Plus depending on the book you may expand on certain things or cut things out entirely. I mean the Harry Potter books had tons of material that didn’t make it to the film either due to it being unnecessary, harmed the pacing, or in some cases they didn’t have the time.
@@HadenBlake but jj abrams was executive producer for the last jedi and reportedly had a lot of creative input on it. and if rian was the only one pushing for reylo, jj could've easily tanked it in tros. i think the issue was really that no one put any thought into episode nine while making episode eight.
Stephanie Meyer: I love both Jacob and Edward equally 😩 Also Stephanie Meyer: writes native people in extremely offensive and incorrect ways, makes all of her native characters 'have' to cut their hair, makes the native tribe all monsters that normally can't control their 'savage nature' 🙃
Stephanie Meyer: “Also I made Jacob fall in love with a literal baby just to conveniently eject him from the love triangle LOL but I love Edward and Jacob equally”
@@charleshawtrey5636 sir I'm not trying to get into an argument with you over my culture, as an indigenous individual. The way Stephanie Meyer portrayed indigenous and native characters was wrong. If you're so sure of these facts I'd love to see your sources, as I'd assume you have a long list of them to feel it necessary to correct me in the comments of a UA-cam video about Twilight of all things.
Both are probably true. You can be ignorant without malicious intent, so it's completely likely that she does love Jacob and simply doesn't realize the horrible writing decisions she put into him. Not that ignorance is an excuse, but it doesn't mean she secretly hates Jacob and is intentionally employing offensive writing in the way he is written, but rather simply writing things she simply didn't stop for five seconds to think critically about the implications of. Just because it's offensive, doesn't mean it's malicious.
Long story short Stephanie Meyer wrote a gender swap version of the book called Midnight Sun. It gender swaps everyone, Bella is Beau and Edward is Edyth and yes all the werewolves are now butch lesbians. Its seriously the best.
I've never read twilight, watched the twilight movies, had an opinion on twilight, or really noticed it's existence too much. Am I about to watch an hour and a half video about it? Of course.
suddenly recalling the unique circle of hell that was being a 14 year old closeted lesbian in 2009 at the height of twilight popularity when there was a heavy heavy social expectation that you would be attracted to either edward or jacob it’s the 1 experience i can think of that i have literally never met anybody who can relate lol
My entire body curled in on itself when you said "we're cool girls. We like Harry Potter!" That was me to a T in middle school, like I really thought I was so special and unique for liking one of the most popular book series of all time???
You're right!! During my childhood nobody would shut up about HSM! It was so annoying, especially for people like me who had no interest at all. Then when Twilight became a thing, HSM simply... vanished, like it never even existed.
@@JayFolipurba language changes over time, in older forms of irish the word the name came from didnt have so many silent letters, but as language shifts their writing systems don't always take a parallel path (there is a "Sé" name pronounced the same, but it's not my spelling) think of "night" and "ought" where "gh" went silent but we still write it because the writing system moves more slowly it's easier for us to recognize it that way, esp since we can read older texts with that spelling, but not necessarily be hearing how that older generation spoke it in order to know how to mimic it
That isn't why people hate the sparkling. It's because it gives them no good reason to stay out of the daylight. Other vampires in other vampire stories burn to death, lose the powers they have at night during the day and the like. A character who says he has "the skin of a killer" then sparkles is impossible to take seriously.
I'm pretty sure you said Robert Pattinson won people over to the idea of him playing rich intense weirdo Bruce Wayne by being a rich intense weirdo IRL and honestly I cannot fault this analysis

Kristin Stewart’s “you nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness monster” line delivery is unironically fantastic imo
I know right you’d think “how could someone make that line work” and she kinda did!
@@anava7030 tbh I kinda imagine her saying it in a deadly calm tone. Like for an example: “so you named my daughter (pauses for a sec before looking up a Jacob and raises a brow) after the Loch Ness monster?” It was pure silent as he was at a lost of words until She let’s out a dry chuckle that Jacob soon follow up with his own but came out as an awkward and weak. He went to scratch the back of his head and gain the courage to attempted to explain himself again but Bella only respond with a smile that seemed to fool Jacob just for a sec before she immediately dropped her smile and rocked his ass out straight out of the woods.
Yea I know it’s kinda cringy but I think it would have made her look kinda bad ass 😂😂
I have a love hate relationship with it
That line is literally one of the few memories I have of playing games on my computer while my mom watched twilight in the background in like 2015 and honestly just being confused
She delivered it as well as one can deliver a line that sounds like something I would have written when I was 14.
it's been 9 months (a whole gestational period, in fact) and i still have not gotten over "i cannot stress how much a baby was fallen in love with". peak comedy

It’s been a fourth gestational period, any change?

Given that Meyer is a Mormon, and with the commensurate lack of scientific literacy inherent to that lifestyle choice, I'm inclined to say that definitely isn't an intentional thing - not even a subconsciously included thing...

Superwholock was awful.

I’m not arguing, you have a literal corpse bride, a doctor who ignored his bloodlust to take care of his patients and a girl that can literally see into the future.
I never liked Twilight, but I feel robbed because we could’ve had such an interesting book if Meyer would’ve focused on these characters
And then we got Emmet. He's there
reading the first book, there were a lot of cool moments I loved. I constantly went "now if he wasnt so creepy....". I do think there's some cool lore in that series
Not to mention Jasper, a Confederate General who was changed to run a newborn vampire army sweeping across the South, who can feel and control emotions, and who gave up his entire life at the drop of a hat to become a vampire-vegan when an eccentric petite psychic just showed up one day and told him that she was his future if he just followed her wherever she went.
His story, Alice's story, Rosalie's story, Carlisle's story, those are all way, way more interesting and worth exploring in depth.
@@ndawn90...and Emmet's still there. Dunno if we should follow the ex Confederate though
I feel like a better way for Twilight to have been done would have been to do the first book, and then the rest of the books were "spin-offs" about the other characters and their respective relationships. It's something I've kinda always thought. 😆

Oh that's hilarious!
I think it would be funnier if he says it, shoots a gun, and someone offscreen just says “ow” and there’s a thud noise. Way simpler, still dark comedy.
They actually have that exact scene in the movie vampires suck......a parody of twilight....
Fun fact: during the height of Twilight's popularity there was this German acting reality competition show where the main prize was to get a small role in Eclipse, and then the final version of the movie didn't use the scene they shot with the winner 😭
Damn, that’s messed up...
Did they get sued, or some form of?
It remembers me of a video of... I think it was Screen Junkies? In which they did a contest in which one of three girls could win a ticket to see the last Twilight movie in theater by answering questions about the saga, except only when the camera started rolling they revealed the true contestents would be the girls' dads and they would just have to sit on the sideline watching them trying to remember things about movies they didn't really care about.

She did not commit the sin of "being unapproachable", rejecting *the gaze* by not smiling.
I was never into either franchise, but this shit is impossible to ignore now.
As a middle school boy at the time, I do remember Hunger Games being seen as the “cool” alternative to Twilight, because it dealt with more mature themes and the love triangle was more of a side plot. Not really much to say on the actresses, but J-Law did win an Oscar shortly after the first movie came out so there was definitely hype.

When my friend and decided to binge watch the Twilight Series in one sitting during this renaissance to go back and forth about our first impressions, when we get to the sparkling vampires bit I really stretched the ideas as to why sparkling would make sense if vampires were killed by sunlight in the past.
I was telling my friend that it could make sense that modern vampires had evolved to a point where they're skin became like a mirror to sunlight, and reflected it before it could penetrate their bodies and harm them. Their skin sparkles as a sign of reflecting said light, and may be more metallic/glass in quality, and that's the same reason why the crack and shatter. I thought it could be an interesting evolutionary adaptation if that's what the author was thinking, so vampires could now thrive in a previously inhospitable environment.
Then my friend looked at as I finished my reasoning and told me "I think you're trying way too hard to make the sparkles make sense"
Hey, that's a good theory, though.
I don't know if you read the books, but a fun tidbit in them was that in Twilight the stereotype about vampires burning in the sunlight came about because the vampires would sparkle so aggressively that they looked like they were on fire. When Bella first saw Edward in the sunlight she was scared because she thought he was on fire until she got close to him and actually saw him.
@@HadenBlake SDLKfnk it's not a theory it's literally in the books. Bella sees Edward and because he's sparkling so brightly she thinks he's on fire and screams.
Just a remark: the 'father' of all media vampires, Dracula, did not burn in the sun, either. There is a scene in the novel where he's seen walking around in sunlight, oggling a young woman with a pretty hat. So Edward and his family not burning up is fine - they're closer to Dracula for it.
@@cayreet5992 Neither did Carmilla (which predates Dracula), she only got a bit more languid and weaker during the day.
The reason Le Fanu and Stoker didn't write their vampiric characters as burning up in the sunlight is probably because vampires in Slavic folklore (which is where the modern Western idea of a vampire more or less originated from) weren't described as being harmed by the sun either. Same with fangs; they weren't described as having those either.
It's generally agreed it was Nosferatu (1922) which first depicted vampires as being harmed by sunlight and from there on out it became popularized to the point, that most people nowadays assume it's a given whenever vampires are portrayed in fiction.
Wait, so you're telling me that Kristin Stewart got into hot water because she had a relationship with a man who not only had power over her career but also was 20 years older than her and already married, and she was the one who caught the most flack for it? Yeah, that sounds about right.

Oh no! My kids'caregiver is Quillute. I found this out by asking about her tattoo. I believe my comment was something like "bummer about Twilight," which she rolled her eyes about with some grace... Our local museum (Seattle) I think commissioned or at least displayed a video project with an artist interviewing teenage Quillutes about their feelings about Twilight. I remember this one kid who looked to be about 16 telling the camera, "we don't turn into wolves, but we are descended from them..." I unironically loved that. Way to own your myths dude. I could tell our caregiver had some complicated feelings, but she didn't seem too keen to get into it at the time. I respect her privacy, but I was curious, and it's certainly a phenomenon. Bummer about your tattoo memory, I suppose it could be worse? Sorry to ramble at you...
Funny because I remember hearing that Twilight was racist against Native Americans or something

Funnily enough, this book was my first step into being able to talk to girls. I was always shy around them and couldn’t form a complete sentence. I had a girlfriend at the time and we broke up because I was too shy. I sat down, read the entire series, and not only did it get me over the relationship not working, it also allowed me to have something to talk about with girls and broke all the shyness.
Also, I am also now transitioning to being a girl. So maybe it was Twilight

I still remember people being "Team Switzerland" when they couldn't decide between Edward and Jacob
This comment gave me psychic damage
"I'm Switzerland." was one of the more memorable lines, at least as far as the love triangle went.
The moment I had become patriotic. I was so proud, someone has heard of Switzerland for its "neutrality" and not for its chocolate.
Back in the day I considered myself Team Switzerland primarily because I was fannish enough to think fighting over which ship was better was silly.
I feel like a LOT of future commentary on culture is going to have "And then 2020 happened" as a focal point.
Or not. Remember 2016? And how people said it was the worst year ever? Well now a lot people very forgot about all the bad things that happened in 2016, and are nostalgic for 2016.
@@kittykittybangbang9367 yeah but covid
@@kittykittybangbang9367 I’ve def seen nostalgia for 2016 but every time I have I’ve also seen a lot of ppl being like “wtf r u talking ab 2016 fucking sucked”. So I think generally people haven’t forgotten the negative aspects of that year so much as people are just desperate to return to ANY point in time pre-pandemic. There’s also something to be said ab 2016 being one of the last years there was any actual sense of normalcy. Like, everything since then has been a downward spiral. That being said, 2016 was awful and I’d elect 2015 as being the last year things felt relatively normal before 2016 kicked off the spiral towards the abyss. It is weird though how much nostalgia can make people blind towards the negative elements of whatever it is they’re nostalgic for.

this video gave me VIVID flashbacks to high school; specifically, I carpooled with a friend who had a certified Twilight Mom; pretty much every day for 3 years, we listened to the Twilight soundtrack on the way to school. I can't emphasize that enough: Every. Single. (school) Day.
...I could still probably list all the songs on it if I tried
Ayyy It's Red Bard, I watch your videos
My mother was also a huge fan and likewise always had the soundtrack running in her car. To this day just the thought of hearing Thousand Years again makes me shiver in revulsion - I very quickly learned to hate that song.
I had a certified Twilight Grandma. It honestly might be part of why I distanced myself from Twilight as quickly as I did in high school.
At least the soundtrack was pretty hot tbh. But I'm sure hearing over and over might be a little maddening. At least put the soundtrack on shuffle lol
Can’t wait for the next crossover!
I want to point out imprinting is not portrayed accurately in the series; imprinting is what baby animals do when they open their eyes and see their caretaker for the first time. It's why ducklings follow their mothers around or why you have stories about farm animals befriending farmers who raised them, because they see them as their mother.
So having it the other way around is....yah it's creepy.
Yeah it is. She admitted she just straight up ripped off the term because she wanted something to explain the immediate and long lasting connection.
IMHO: The Pern series by Anne McCaffrey did a really good job representing imprinting well ... but that was dragons fresh born, imprinting on their person/caretaker
aww thats so much sweeter and more wholesome :’D

And how McGonagall chewed out Imposter Moody for using transfiguration as a punishment on a student, which was done over attacking another student behind their back? Hagrid didn't even have that background knowledge of Dudley's past actions to justify the fact that he tried to turn Dudley into a pig, just him eating someone else's cake, and then, unlike Moody, never fixed the tail he left Dudley with.

underrated comment
Thank you for bringing up the issue with the Quileute Tribe!!! Speaking of bad takes... I remember being in the theater for the 2nd movie and when Jacob cuts his hair the audience went wild, saying "He looks so hot now!" In reality, cutting your long hair like that is for many tribes symbolic of losing connection to your culture. Some indigenous ppl were forced to cut their hair through forced assimilation. It was NOT a good thing that Jacob did that, and it always bothered me that the audience had a positive reaction to it.
I think it might've been because he was shirtless too lmao
oh that’s ,,, really not great :///
I just realized how amusing the "Buffy stakes Edward" memes are.
Like, the Slayer's type is literally "tortured immortal who swears he's not that bad, really."
100% the two end up in bed if they ever shared a universe.
Yeah, but David Boreanaz is tall and wears a swoopy black coat, so no one noticed.
You're not wrong.
Yeah I was huge into Buffy and anytime people made that joke I wanted to ask them if they had watched the show.
Yeah... Iconically, her type was vampires besides from that one guy who was like a monster Hunter? Or something like that
much as i don't want to defend early-buffy angel before he went and got cool and funny in LA - at least he wasn't pathetic. edward's just boring and lacking conviction in every respect. so buffy would probably stake him for being dull imo
Excuse me but "hold on toght spider-monkey" is ACTUALLY the parallel to Anakins "I dont like sand" monologue.
Dont diss I dont like sand like that.
But does it have a payoff that nobody notices? The payoff for the "I don't like sand" line is Anakin picking up a handful of sand and gripping it tightly after learning his mom died. It's weird
I’m pretty sure it’s Bella complaining about the rain and not liking any cold, wet thing.
@@Gloomdrake Not really. People hate the sand line because it’s the catalyst to Anakin and Padme initially consummating their relationship. The spider monkey line is just a memeable line from a character-building scene, not something integral to the plot.

@@gravytrain73 I remember a lot of people who liked that scene even though the hated the movie.
I think it's also pretty unfair that people blamed kristen steward for not portraying bella with more personality because she was basically given an impossible task. The books are written in first person from bellas perspective and she is constantly telling us via the narration what she thinks and how she reacts, but obviously that doesn't translate very well to a movie.
exactly! also i feel like she and jennifer lawrence were both unfairly criticized for accurately acting like their characters do in their books. both bella and katniss were described as quiet and expressing their emotions inwards, which just doesn't translate on a screen.
@@tss5320 I don't remember about Twilight, but a key part of Katniss' character in the books is that she doesn't have the charisma to persuade the in-universe audience to like her, and that we only like her because we're in her head. This is why they do the whole fake relationship with Peeta, but that isn't portrayed very well on film. People call her a poorly acted/written character, but really the character is just a better fit for a medium that lets us read her thoughts.
Kristen Stewart is one of those actors who is good in very specific circumstances, I also remember they tried to do a twilight/action girl thing again in that huntsman movie? yeah that’s not her vibe
@@tss5320 I thought Jennfier Lawrence did an excellent job in that movie and was sad to find out other people didn’t feel the same way.
Hearing 'The Lighthouse' described as 'a slice of life' film gave me whiplash.

When I first heard about the whole "imprinting on a baby" thing I thought "Oh cute, like how ducklings can imprint on a human and thing they are their mom but reverse, he will protect the baby like how own child". Because that's the only context I've heard imprinting being used.
This is what I hated most about twilight, by far. And no one else cares they’re like “oh haha yeah” SHES LIKE A YEAR OLD DOES NO ONE ELSE SEE THE ISSUE
@@somnodaur8064 god, ikr that was hella fucked up. There's also the fact that Edward was basically abusive to Bella
@@somnodaur8064 yeah I really like twilight but Jacob imprinting on reneseme is disturbing. I wish Meyers hadn’t done that
also her conveniently aging up so quickly that she would be jacobs age at the end of the movie was a... choice 😃
To be fair, that's kind of how it was explained.....but with the gross implication that it would likely change into a romantic relationship when she was "old enough," which since she grew up fast, was probably around the real-time age of 7. And this was treated as a valid excuse for why it's okay. So basically the conversation went like, "You just fell in love with my infant????? Gross! Get away from her!" "Noooo it's fine, I'm not love with her! ....yet. Might happen later, up to her." "Oh okay I can deal with that, but you're on thin ice." Not really as valid of a defense as Meyer probably thought it was.
I remember the director for New Moon saying they switched the color pallet to match the wolves since Jacob played a more prominent role in this film. He wanted to go from cool toned vampires to warm toned wolves.
Oh that makes sense actually.
Very interesting
Despite all the hate for Twilight, those films had some moments of really good film making. They put in a lot of effort and thought, we simply must stan some dedicated film makers.
I don’t like how franchises switch directors for every film. It’s ruins the continuity. Every director wants to put their own spin on it and it just feels off.
*Laughs in SW sequel trilogy*
@@Bighomie39 Yeah, good thing the original trilogy was above something like that.
@@HadenBlake honestly I think the Sequel Trilogy could've been way better if Disney decided to have Rian make RoS instead of JJ
@@HadenBlake not necessarily the film Jurassic park is very different compared to its book even though the author of the book helped write the script. Plus depending on the book you may expand on certain things or cut things out entirely. I mean the Harry Potter books had tons of material that didn’t make it to the film either due to it being unnecessary, harmed the pacing, or in some cases they didn’t have the time.
@@HadenBlake but jj abrams was executive producer for the last jedi and reportedly had a lot of creative input on it. and if rian was the only one pushing for reylo, jj could've easily tanked it in tros. i think the issue was really that no one put any thought into episode nine while making episode eight.

Both are probably true. You can be ignorant without malicious intent, so it's completely likely that she does love Jacob and simply doesn't realize the horrible writing decisions she put into him. Not that ignorance is an excuse, but it doesn't mean she secretly hates Jacob and is intentionally employing offensive writing in the way he is written, but rather simply writing things she simply didn't stop for five seconds to think critically about the implications of. Just because it's offensive, doesn't mean it's malicious.
I truly can’t believe that you didn’t mention that Meyer accidentally wrote utterly iconic butch, lesbian werewolves in the gender swap book.
Please explain further!

Long story short Stephanie Meyer wrote a gender swap version of the book called Midnight Sun. It gender swaps everyone, Bella is Beau and Edward is Edyth and yes all the werewolves are now butch lesbians. Its seriously the best.

@@JayFolipurba language changes over time, in older forms of irish the word the name came from didnt have so many silent letters, but as language shifts their writing systems don't always take a parallel path
(there is a "Sé" name pronounced the same, but it's not my spelling)
think of "night" and "ought" where "gh" went silent but we still write it because the writing system moves more slowly
it's easier for us to recognize it that way, esp since we can read older texts with that spelling, but not necessarily be hearing how that older generation spoke it in order to know how to mimic it
That isn't why people hate the sparkling. It's because it gives them no good reason to stay out of the daylight. Other vampires in other vampire stories burn to death, lose the powers they have at night during the day and the like. A character who says he has "the skin of a killer" then sparkles is impossible to take seriously.
