Perhaps that's why she wrote her gender-bent re-release of the first Twilight book to end with fem-Edward turning male-Bella into a vampire. Edit to correct: fem-Edward did not turn male-Bella into a vampire. At the end of the book, the fight with fem-James still happens, but it's too late to stop male-Bella from turning (in the original, Edward sucks James's blood out of her and that's what stops the turning).

In the book it’s stated that he didn’t want to turn her because she only wanted to be a vampire for him .

[@Banana-jk7tv]

Y'know if Bella actually died and the series was actually about a monster isolating a girl from everyone in her life and ultimately causing her death, then Twilight could've been actually pretty decent. If the story was told through Renesme's pov it could've been about her journey to discovering why her father has been absent from her life and how her mom died. It could've been a lesson, a story that originally appeared to be about love but instead was a horror story in disguise. The end could've been revealed to be Renesme studying and summarising perhaps a journal written by Bella during the whole of the twilight series. Renesme could've been shown coming to the conclusions of the story. Anyways, rant over. Thanks Cindy and Ellias for your suffering throughout the viewing of this series.

The ingredients for a great supernatural thriller were right there! Even Rosalie brought some to the table with that whole Hand That Rocks The Cradle vibe. All that was missing was Bella waking up for revenge then tearing everyone apart. Rosalie last, Jacob second to last because he'd jump in front of Rosalie to defend the baby. The last scene should be Bella, newborn vampire, tearfully drinking her dad's blood and feeding his heart to the baby.

Bella and Jacob just look so good together bc they're so comfortable with each other (possibly bc of the actors' friendship together?) and bc they are have both platonic and romantic love while Bella and Edward are just plain obsessed and infatuated from the first sec, it's too lust based for me and not enough substance to be a believable romance idk

@@mariama1735 That was true BEFORE he became a werewolf. In Eclipse he sexually assaulted Bella and emotionally blackmailed her with threats of suicide.

[@charltownsend5299]

@@EleiyaUmei I like this theory actually

[@noelbernabe8704]

I think that's sort if the fun thing about this movie. It starts out the way most movies finish... with a happily ever after marriage and honey moon. Then it proceeds to rip every ounce of happiness from them.

[@RuinedSilver]

I pointed this out in another video before- Bella drinking the blood to "feed the baby" would only kill her faster. A baby derives its nutrition from teh mothers bloodstream, meaning anything it "eats" has to pass through the mothers bloodstream first. Thus, bella would *have* to digest the blood first before the baby could get to it. However, humans CANNOT digest blood, cause hemoglobin breaks up into some pretty nasty chemicals, and blood itself is very heavy in iron. Drinking blood would damage bella's digestive system and giv eher iron poisoning before the demon baby gets any nutrition. Ironically, they should've just kept giving her Iv's.

13:50 I recommend reading Therealvinelle's Tumblr blog about this as her perspective on the Twilight franchise is very unique, i.e it actually being much more like Lolita rather than a straightforward romance story, as well as other interesting theories like Esme being the Other Mother, Volturi being the good guys, Edward being completely demented only seeing Bella as a hamburger and Bella's complete misunderstanding of what being a vampire means.

I think in the books Jacob was seen as more childish because he was a year or so younger than Bella, but the movies changed that to market Team Edward vs Team Jacob. Also, Part 2 has some of the most iconic bad lines because at that point the franchise was over so who cares.
