Hey, you guys! I'm back! :)
madnessdownunder2: You really come up with the best stuff! I don't think of half the stuff you do! Keep up the good work, maybe I'll continue this story when I'm done with YOUR reasons!
wolfgirl: Yeah, Dumblys doesn't wear a dress…and you are right, sparkly vampires aren't exactly the most masculine of things XD
A Harry Potter Fan: Ok, I'm not stereotyping against all Twihards, it's just the ones that I see defending Twilight have appalling grammar. I'm not saying they all do, it's just the ones I see, even the reviewers in some stories. I'm sorry if you got that impression!
And so what if this is a bashing? I tend to get very over-emotional about stuff, so I do tend to exaggerate things and I know that this isn't an 'analysis'. I don't care if Bella was intentionally a Mary-Sue, it just makes it more fun to make fun of her. Say what you want, I'm going to continue this.
WittyPhoenix: ;)
Mermaid-Luchia: Yeah, I read all 4 books and all I got was how the most important thing was to have a boyfriend.
That is a very good point: when Ed leaves, Bella falls into depression and she's all 'I can't go on without my Eddie!', while Hermione saves Harry's life with Nagini and that.
ChidorixCixBritannia: GO HARRY POTTER! Thanks! :)
21. At least they talk about reliegon even 4 a short while.
Huh? What does religion have to do with this?
22. Twilight goes more in depth with the emotions. You can feel Bella's pain when Edward leaves her. You can feel her confusion between Edward and Jacob. You can feel her love for Renesmee.
Well, what about the emotions in Harry Potter? Say, when Snape dies and wants the last thing he sees to be Lily Evans' eyes? And what about when Dobby died and his last words were "Harry...Potter..."? How is that emotionless?
23. Twilight is a modern-day Romeo and Juliet in its themes of everlasting but forbidden love; to be compared to such a classic is an honor.
Ok, since I haven't read Romeo and Juliet, I can't really say anything here, though I'm starting to study it and I know the basics. How is the love between Bella and Edward forbidden? Their families don't hate each other, like the Montagues and Capulets in R&J and all that…
And they're too...perfect. You're right about the everlasting bit of the love, but I can't help thinking that they'll fight or grow sick of each other sooner or later. I mean, what sort of couple are you if you don't ever fight? (sings) Mary Su-ue!
24. We like the time setting of Twilight. It is modern day.
Harry Potter's only about ten or fifteen years back, who cares? It doesn't really make a difference! I mean, there's no technology in the story (like computers), so it doesn't really matter if it's in the 1990's or the 2000's, it's not like you can tell!
25. Vampires stay with their partners will death. If you mess with their partners, you'll get what's coming. Even after their partner is dead, they will remain loyal to them, till their time comes.
*cough* James and Lily Potter *cough* James Potter stayed with his wife until his death; heck, he even died to give her and their son time to get away! Tell me that's not loyalty!
26. We like and appreciate the fact that the vampires and werewolves in Twilight aren't anything like the one's from us before. To us, it's nice to take on the vampire and werewolf concept.
Like the one's from us before? I didn't get that bit, so I can't say anything here...
27. You can read Twilight over and over again.
You can read Harry Potter over and over again ;P
28. It is the rare vampire novel that isn't about sex on some level, and the Twilight books are no exception. What makes Meyer's books so distinctive is that they're about the erotics of abstinence. Their tension comes from prolonged, superhuman acts of self-restraint. There's a scene midway through Twilight, in which, for the first time, Edward leans in close and sniffs the aroma of Bella's exposed neck. "Just because I'm resisting the wine doesn't mean I can't appreciate the bouquet," he says. "You have a very floral smell, like lavender...or freesia." He barely touches her, but there's more sex in that one paragraph than in all the snogging in Harry Potter.
Um, kids in primary school are reading Harry Potter! Why would they want to read about sex? It'd traumatise them! Somehow, I'm thinking from this review that Twilight is all about sex! And how is there more sex there than kissing? Like you said, he barely touches her! It's all words!
29. The characters change throughout the Twilight series as well. they may not be growing up like the Harry Potter Characters did, but they did change. The characters become more brave, stronger, loving, forgiving, etc. Each character changed in the Twilight books. Harry Potter characters changed as well, but they kept some of their bad traits with them.
Yup, Mary Sue world alert. The HP characters change in the same way as the Twilight ones too! And of course the HP characters are going to have some bad traits; that's what makes us people! The fact that the Twilight characters (apparently) have no bad traits just makes them Mary Sues!
30. IT has a graphic novel.
Wow, just...wow. I'm not going to even bother with this one.
Honestly, I think 30 is my fave one so far…I mean, really? XD
