A/N
so I was recently searching up twilight sucks on google, cause those rants are always fun to read and I came across a "why twilight is better than harry potter" post and being the potter fan I am, read it
And the points weren't even good, so I'm going to write the obligatory anti twilight rant.
This may become a multi chapter list, or just stay a one shot either way have fun
BTW all of the points that I rant about are quoted from sites, the site address is in brackets beside the point
No flames, this is written for fun, don't like don't read.
1."The hidden meanings in the title, TWILLIGHT- light means good, good means pure, pure means Jesus. this title teaches us to love Jesus Christ" ( . ?n=6877)
This is the biggest amount of bullshit I have ever heard, twilight does not mean light, it is the time of day when the sun sets, not to mention bringing religion into an argument about books is completely uncalled for, what are you a Jehovah's witness? also the meaning of the title does not indicate how good the book is, the hunger games could have been named twilight and no one would have cared because it's still a good book regardless of what it's called.
2."Its british. British stuff is never as good as American stuff. America is the top country in the world. I mean, im not trying to brag or anything, but its just a fact that America is the most advanced and powerful country in the world. Twilight is American, Harry Potter is british. Therefore, by logic, Twilight is better. And just because Twilight is american automatically makes it higher quality, just because its America, no matter what you think of the book. I mean, they fought against us and LOST in WW2, right? So seriously, they just aren't as good." ( question/index?qid=20130311092823AAuDLMU)
What does where it comes from have to do with how good it is? If you repeated that statement and replaced country with religion, British with Christian, and American with protestant we'd have world war three on our hands! Not to mention that America is the most advanced but also the most polluting, war fighting, wasting country in the world! The fact that it came from America has nothing to do with quality.
3."the cover of the books are drawn beautifully " ( clubs/harry-potter-vs-twilight/forum/post/85554/ti tle/3000-reasons-why-twilight-better-than-harry-po tter)
… all of the twilight book covers are pictures if you haven't noticed, not to mention that cover art is not considered a valid point for how good a book is, does the saying "never judge a book by its cover" ring a bell?
4. "creative and great ideas of the vampire form" ( clubs/harry-potter-vs-twilight/forum/post/85554/ti tle/3000-reasons-why-twilight-better-than-harry-po tter)
admittedly the term "vampire" means many different things in different series due to artistic license, however you cannot make vampires unrecognizable, vampires do not sparkle Alex Louis Armstrong does, not vampires . Also, the fact that Stephenie Meyer tried to explain vampires with science is another blunder, sure in some cases it works but her explanation was bullshit, I mean venom really?
5."the mashup name renesmee is so creative" ( clubs/harry-potter-vs-twilight/forum/post/85554/ti tle/3000-reasons-why-twilight-better-than-harry-po tter)
no, it's not creative its lazy and sounds like a name a preschooler would give her imaginary friend
6."she replaces small simple words to long big words for people to be more educated not use simple words everyone can understand" ( clubs/harry-potter-vs-twilight/forum/post/85554/ti tle/3000-reasons-why-twilight-better-than-harry-po tter)
Meyer didn't use large words to "educate" the reader, she used them to make Bella seem smart. Also, when I read a book I don't want to need to get a thesaurus to be able to understand what the author meant, not to mention the book is targeted at "tweens" so using high end vocabulary should not be a point for the book.
7."the emotions are deep in twilight and is a wide imaginative world" ( clubs/harry-potter-vs-twilight/forum/post/85554/ti tle/3000-reasons-why-twilight-better-than-harry-po tter)
What emotions? And last I checked forks, Washington is not wide nor imaginative, it's a small town in Washington where it always rains.
8."twilight is read by a massive audience" ( clubs/harry-potter-vs-twilight/forum/post/85554/ti tle/3000-reasons-why-twilight-better-than-harry-po tter)
so is harry potter, the mortal instruments, Shakespeare, Percy Jackson, and the hunger games all better books than twilight. a massive audience does not mean quality, just good advertising.
villains are unrealistic. They torture and kill people for FUN and that's SICK! They basically have no meaning behind what they do, they only do it for fun and pleasure, what kind of sick people do that? Volturi is a much more realistic and horryfing villian than Voldemort who is a laughable character with a weird laugh. He looks like he has leukimia." ( question/index?qid=20130311092823AAuDLMU)
dear god, I don't even know where to start with this one. for one, the volturi are less horrifying than death eaters because they aren't villain material, they're pretty much the vampire equivalent of the FBI, in fact it could be argued that the Volturi are just doing their job and that the Cullen's are in fact the bad guys for breaking vampire law by telling Bella that their vampires. also what kind of villain doesn't torture and kill people for fun? it's pretty much in the job description, and the fact that they have no reason for killing and torturing makes them all the more villainous! and who gives a fuck about realism, were talking about wizards and fairy vampire wannabes here!
10."The Twilight movies have better music. The soundtracks got me into all these awesome Indian and rock bands music, and all the HP soundtracks are just classical melodies composed by Beethoven and Mozart and other American composers from the 19th century. No words or lyrics! Who the f*ck listens to classical music anyway?" ( question/index?qid=20130311092823AAuDLMU)
sonic '06, the video game that nearly killed the sonic franchise because of how bad it was had an amazing soundtrack too. also the music fits with the theme, harry potter is an adventure in the nineteen hundreds, twilight takes place in 2005 and has a rock soundtrack that is unbearably out of place in a movie where the setting is a town where it never stops raining.
