Stephenie Meyer...Apparently One Mythical Creature Simply Isn't Enough For You

Ah Twilight. The interesting book series that turned into a disgusting obsession. I actually enjoy the movies, but the way girls today have completely idolized the books and movies is simply revolting. I knew a couple girls who had friends that dumped their boyfriends because they weren't like Edward. Revolting.

Don't get me wrong, a man like Edward would be exceptionally great... without the whole blood-sucking thing. He is sweet, affectionate, protective, mysterious, and, of course, very attractive. Those are good qualities correct? Now just subtract the blood-sucking and the whole I am going to grow old and you won't thing and he's a great guy to have around. For some odd reason...the idea of him wanting to kill you but resisting the almost irresistible temptation to is beautiful in a very creepy way. It's like Sweeney Todd. I love it, yet I can't come to figure out why...

I do wish that Bella wasn't portrayed as a weak, frail girl though. Now I know she's a human against vampires...that's very scary and yes, I would feel weak and frail against them too, but if you're throwing vampires and ware wolves together, It doesn't seem like such a stretch for Bella to kick some vampire butt too. I don't see why Edward and Jacob get to have all the fun. Plus in the second book, she goes through this adrenaline junky thing so she could see Edward again. What a stupid individual. Like honestly? We're gonna throw ourselves off of a cliff? That's awesome. Sounds like a plan to me. That was ridiculous. I would have enjoyed the movie much more if Bella hadn't turned into an IDIOT!

That's another thing I don't like. I was fine with the vampires but did we have to throw ware wolves in there? Again, don't get me wrong, Taylor Lautner makes an EXTREMELY attractive ware wolf and I'm not complaining that he had to spend the majority of the movie with his shirt off, but vampires PLUS ware wolves seems a bit extreme. I think Twilight turned into too much of a soap opra as the series continued. I could be perfectly happy with just the first two.

One moment I will always remember from New Moon was when Bella is doing that dumb adrenaline junky thing and riding the motorcycle and crashes into a rock. The part I'm going to remember is when Jacob rides over and takes off his shirt to wipe away the blood. That is a little strange and a little gross, but it shows that he did whatever he had to do to help her. Screw Edward! I'd go for Jacob. I'm sorry but when he got angry at the kid they went to the movie with, that was just endearing and attractive. Judge me if you wish, but that's my thoughts on the matter.

But all in all, Twilight has been grossly overstated. If I have to hear "What do you mean you aren't in love with Edward?!" one more time I'm going to throttle someone.

Sweeney Todd however...HOW CAN YOU NOT BE IN LOVE WITH ANTONY?!

;)

I feel you, Johanna,
I feel you.
I was half convinced I'd waken,
Satisfied enough to dream you.
Happily I was mistaken,
Johanna.
I'll steal you, Johanna,
I'll steal you.

I'll steal you, Johanna,
I'll steal you.
Do they think that walls could hide you?
Even now, I'm at your window.
I am in the dark beside you,
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair!
I feel you, Johanna,
And one day I'll steal you!
Til I'm with you then,
I'm with you there,
Sweetly buried in your yellow hair

-Antony from Sweeny Todd
