Is Twilight Really as Bad as We Thought?

1) This video is (obviously) different from the stuff I've been doing, but I hope you still enjoy! Also sorry my camera makes everything look so dark and gray lol we'll pretend it's to emulate the vibe of Forks 2) I made a Patreon!

[@jallinjosephin3961]

YES

[@gezelligheid5079]

Fun fact: the actor plays in the two movies that are seen as one of the worst movies... ever. The last airbender and twighlight. He even got nominated for the award “worst supporting role” for both movies!

[@kayla4551]

@@gezelligheid5079 I really liked Jesper? Maybe I just have bad taste

[@rosy1923]

Jackson Rathbone (he plays Jasper) is a very talented actor. I think his role in twilight was amazing. If you watch criminal minds season 4 ep 20, he plays a character with DID (dissociative identity disorder) also known as multiple personalities, he his betrayal of DID was very good and well done, it's too bad He's not in very many movies anymore but He's also a musician, and his music is very good!

Twilight really wasn’t that bad it’s honestly a guilty pleasure of mine to watch and it’s so much better than fifty shades of grey

[@peaceblossom8]

It's about a >100 year old dude who's in love with a 17 year old, who's stalking her, sneaking into her bedroom without her permission to watch her sleep, and very clearly holds most of the power in their relationship. Later it just gets better by a young adult falling in love with a baby and starting to anticipate how they will spend their entire life together. Plus the world-building is incoherent, the story is incredibly unoriginal and the characters are utterly bland. How is any of that "not that bad"?

[@connie6738]

peaceblossom8 Okay but it’s not like he’s grown up? Yes he may have lived 100 years but he was constantly treated like a 17 year old, and acted like one, so to him, he probably still has the maturity of a 17 year old. Also he’s a vampire Jesus are you going to criticise every vampire story where they fall in love with a human? Lmao. Plus, doesn’t mean people can’t like it even if you think it’s bad.

[@BabyGirlTiny]

@@connie6738 he wasn't constantly treated like a 17 ysad old any more than he constantly kept going to high school. And he lived over 100 years meaning hes over 100. Just be ause he looks 17 doesn't mean those years he loved stops.

[@taehofu]

i mean 50 shades is a fan fiction of twilight

[@NinjaOutfitInTheWash]

Agreed, it’s a guilty pleasure for me too, especially the first one because it’s so nostalgic. I also love Kristen Stewart’s look in the film, I used to want to look and dress just like her lol.

[@meg136]

In the book they spent more time together getting to know each other. They drove together to school daily and asked question about the other. It's kinda sad they didn't put that in the movie cause now it is just weird that they are falling for each other after such short time

[@its.sawako.not.sadako.1231]

Elliott Larkin right and in the books Bella talked about how she felt and how she thought about everything. In the movies it makes her seem brain dead.

[@Arrowsentco]

Yup, it also explains the Cullen family better. Why Edward was turned, Alice’s prophecies, why everyone loves Bella at school, why jasper is like tht, why Rose is always so angry...

[@melodyhanna9321]

Exactly! I'm not hating on this video at all but people should read the books before they judge the series and characters based on the movies

[@mollysimpson2335]

I mean, even in the book, they still don't know each other for that long. Like a week maybe? And then the day that they visit the meadow is the same day Bella needs to run for her life.

Why carlile turned edward: so basically carlisle had been alone for centuries at this point and his mother had asked him to save him any way possible with the implication that she KNEW what was on the up and up and he caved.

By the way, I didn't watch it entirely before writing my other comments, but a lot of how Bella interacts with others can be explained by social anxiety. I know it can looks exaggerated for someone who doesn't really experience it like this or at all but Bella embody how I was for most of life and still am sometime. I think it's very on point and realistic.

[@walkingthetightrope6637]

I absolutely loved your commentary. Twilight holds such a special place in my heart and it's kinda gotten to a point where I have to watch it every month or else I get super sad...yikes. but anyways its such an awkward movie and its absolutely ridiculous but like I guess the heart wants what the heart wants. (Team Edwardo all the way bby). But i will say the books make way more sense and they're relationship actually has some depth in the books. When Carlisle became a vampire he hated himself and tried to commit suicide but later accepted it and decided to help ppl by becoming a doctor. He was really lonely and wanted a companion but also realized it was selfish of him to turn someone immortal so he decided not to. But during the influenza Edward's mom was also dying of Spanish influenza and found out Carlisle was a vampire and her dying wish was for him to turn Edward into one.

[@Ash-ne1yv]

14:29 In the book, Carlisle was nursing Edward and his mother (Mrs. Mason). He knew that Mrs. Mason was going to die, and he did his best to make her comfortable in the days/hours leading up to her passing. Even through her raging fever (which should have made her delirious) she remained almost fully conscious and alert. Her last words were begging Carlisle to save her son, as though maybe- just maybe?- she knew or at least had an inkling of what Carlisle was. Carlisle has been depressed the last few decades, and craved for a sense of love, a family. Feeling responsible for Edward, he turned him in 1917. Btw... This annoys me so much- Esme threw herself off a cliff because she miscarried, she never had the Spanish flu!! Haha thanks for reading if u got this far, have a great day!!

[@ghstparalysis]

I personally always loved the twilight movies, I first watched them with my mom when I was like 12 years old (lol) and I still watch them from time to time. I know that some things come off as cringy or weird but it actually got so much potential, the whole vampire history is actually really interesting, and I think especially the first movie got such a nice aesthetic (like the woods, the rain etc.) ... I also really think the actresses did an amazing job, yes including Bella. (I have to say to this that I watch it in my native language and that might change things a bit as well.)

[@nmoomoo]

I still rewatch twilight especially new moon and eclipse. They calm me down.

for me twilight is fun and silly and nostalgic, but i maintain that the best way to watch it is to just stop at the end of the baseball scene. the bad guys ask to play and then you turn it off and just assume that everything went fine.

I realize much later that Bella was only as popular as she was due to circumstances. In small towns everyone wants to date the new girl even if she is not traditionally attractive. It’s the whole “new when there is no new”. She is supposed to be plain, awkward, and tense. Kristen Stewart’s performance was spot on. Her being the new girl in a small town is the only instance where someone with her personality would be popular.
