With all this Twilight craze going on, why not vent my thoughts about it?
You'll find this is more about Twilight than it is Edward, but oh well =)
1. HE'S IN LOVE WITH HIS FOOD
does anyone else find it wrong, that he's madly in love and at the same time has to resist devouring Bella? Honestly, I find it slightly disturbing that he's in love with her. Through out the book he struggles with not eating her. Maybe I'm dense, but I can't wrap my mind around falling in love with something you want to eat. Have you ever had romantic feelings towards chocolate? If you have, I think you need counseling =) Edward&Bella are the same, she's his 'favourite flavour' [if I recall correctly that's how the book worded it] yet, he's in love with her.....I just...don't...get it.
2. HE'S MUCH TOO OLD FOR BELLA
Although he may be 17 physically, mentally/maturity wise, he's like your grandfather. Sure, he may not be falling apart and wrinkly, but his mind is OLDER than your grandpa... and..he's in love with a 17 year old girl... -shudder- bleck, sicko
3. BELLA DOESN'T DOUBT HIM ONE BIT
ok, ok, ya, they love each other..but dude, she just accepts the fact that he's a vampire, doesn't find it strange in the least. I'd say he's hypnotizing her to gain her trust so he can EAT HER!! I can picture it now -fades out into alternate version of Twilight- Once upon a time, in the town of Forks, a girl met a boy. This boy was very moody, and quite confusing, so the girl decides to investigate him. After hard, long hours of work, she discovers he's a vampire, instead of being afraid, doubting, or anything else that a mentally well person would be, she just accepts it. Little did she know, that the boy had her under his mind control. And that night, he ate her! -end- [I actually much like my version] anyways, couldn't she have been a little doubtful, and then he reassured her? Wouldn't that make their relationship more intimate? Instead of all that mooshy crap girls are swooning over?
4. BELLA IS UTTERLY PATHETIC
This really bugs me about her, she's a complete Mary-Sue, how many times, in the first book does she get into trouble, or get hurt, or have some complication? How is it possible she made it as far as she did? And how much does she complain about her looks? What is Meyer trying to teach all these preteens!? Shouldn't the herione be brace, confident, and believe in herself? Shouldn't the girl of the "amazing" Twilgiht series be someone girls can look up to? We all know many girls want to be her. What is Bella teaching them to be like.....
5. EVERYONE HATES JACOB
why? poor Jacob, so he tries to come in between Edward and Bella, wouldn't that be what a good friend does if he thinks his best friend is falling in love with a blood sucking monster? and Ya, he has a temper problem, but he's a teenage guy with raging hormones, plus he's a werewolf..don't you think that would call for a bit of pity? Honestly, I don't like the idea of Jacob&Bella..and I'm sure very few of you do, but you shouldn't hate him so much..sheesh, the poor puppy.
6. IT'S A FEMALE VERSION OF PORN
How many times does Bella swoon, how many times does the book describe Edwards looks.... how long does it take before the book actually has a freaking plot................FOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEVER. I have this theory, that girls like the twilight series because it's a lot like porn. "Edward touches my forehead, and my stomach cartwheels!" ..or something along those lines, how many girls felt their stomach's do cartwheels when they read lines like that? How many times did your heart flutter [that's such an odd mental image] while reading this book. Perhaps THAT'S why you liked it, not so much the quality...
7. EDWARD IS TOO SWEET
it's cheesy.lots the specialness.end of story
I could go on for just about ever on this topic,
but I think I'll spare you
