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"

[@SP3CTR0L1T3]

Hey, that's a good theory, though.

[@itseggnog2077]

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.

[@itseggnog2077]

@@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.

[@cayreet5992]

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.

[@Khenfu_Cake]

@@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.

also her conveniently aging up so quickly that she would be jacobs age at the end of the movie was a... choice 😃

[@bluebirdeyes]

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.

[@saroneaimah8854]

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.

Plus depending on the book you may expand on certain things or cut things out entirely.

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.

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.
