Are there any other Twilight haters out there???

Obviously, I hate Twilight. Everyone seems to love it so much, and I don't understand! Am I the only one?

EDIT- I didn't check this thread for a few days and it exploded. If any Twilight lovers are here just to flame us, please go away. Everyone of course is entitled to their own opinion, and if you want to agree or disagree respectfully, welcome.

Like the scene where shes being followed by those sketchy guys, she made SUCH DUMB DECISIONS. She totally would have gotten mugged/raped/attacked if a man hadnt been there to save her. The way the character is written is completely sexist.

ok, rant over.; ▶ Reply to This

But her always crying/breaking down is what really got to me.
She was constantly in need of a man to scoop her up before she fell to the floor, or a guy to dry all of her tears.
Pfft. Not ok.; ▶ Reply to This

But, oh...wait...all of those girls who love her meekness...BOO!
I want an ass-kicker!
I want another XENA!

Haaaaha I preach the evils of SM's limited vocabulary to all willing to listen.

I think, though, I read once on Stephenie Meyer's website that she had been working on the first book narrated through Edward's eyes. Even though Edward annoys me too, I'm thinking hearing Edward's side of the story would be not quite as annoying.

And her books get progressively better--I hardly noticed some of the things you pointed out while I was reading Eclipse, but they annoyed me to death when I was reading Twilight.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Christian the Heretic on June 12, 2008 at 12:04pm: Well then she should have a better editor.

I don't know how you could not have noticed most of the things I pointed out!
They were so blatantly obvious (to me) that I almost stopped reading.; ▶ Reply to This
