Well, we all know that the Twilight saga has brought in massive rewards, and it's like Harry Potter all over again. A huge number love it and almost as many hate it (Research indicates the top reason is fans). And quite a few series have jumped out of nowhere based on the series.
But I find the books (And movies) have all changed our opinion of one thing: Vampires. Book lovers now see the 'Cold One' as appealing and sexy, while haters... Drop dead.
I'm just curious as to how people feel about this. Do you like the fact vampires have been changed so dramatically? If so, how?
In turn, you find all these "documentary" shows on vampires just tearing it down to such simple forms. It's just lost it's jazz.
the same thing is about to happen to Zombies. There have been so many zombie games and movies and shows that zombies aren't scary they are just stupid.

It's also like Friday the 13th: They've made so many, horror fans hate them. Now they watch Saw, bet you that will change in a year or two.
It seems we can all conclude that Hollywood has ruined a lot the mysterious aspects of our world's cultures.
Yes... Hollywood is the ultimate suck-up if you need lots of cash but your ideas are bad.
Doesn't anyone have a nice opinion on Twilight? Everyone here hates it, but I'd like to see the background of the people who like the books. It's one of the reasons I wrote the thread: To see what Twilight stimulates in people.
Really. I'm curious. Everyone here seems to dislike Twilight and other similar medias.
Ok, my partner loved the Twilight books and hated the movies with passion. She won't even watch the second movie.
She tells me that Stephanie Meyer's is actually a great writer. She also said the characters and 'feel' of the book were not translated correctly for the movies. Example, Edward as Robert Patinson (or whatever his name is) comes across as an annoying sissy. The books...complete opposite.
But like me, she is now tired of everything being vampires.
Both my siblings enjoyed both the books and the movies, and at least my sister have a taste in books somewhat similar to me, so I simply refrain from judging until I have read the books/seen the movies. It sounds, from what I have heard about from my sister, that it is actually an interesting story, with all its drama and romance, and the fact that they both have invested in the books and the movies is somewhat of a quality stamp for me, even though I don't feel like neither reading nor watching it. She even complained about the one dvd being only a one disc, instead of a two disc, which she wouldn't have, if it had been just a regular movie. I guess it is somewhat of a question of taste and open minded-ness when it comes to this. At least one of my class mates have read the books a number of times, again a person who have a great taste in books. Most of this fuss I just assume is created by people who just oppose to best sellers, or that doesn't like the fantards, and judge everything relating to them by the way they act.

Lol, that's just funny. I never thought of him like that, more emo and weirdly secretive for reasons he never makes clear.

Don't do it Cen... We don't want to loose you too!

True, the reason it gains attention from many is through bad light. But then again, harry potter bloomed like that too, but was discovered to be pretty well written (It has awards).
Is it really that bad? I have not seen it but Is it?
Find out for yourself. Anyone who answers it on this thread for you is biased.
Lol i don't think there are to many poeples who like it....
Then why did people buy it?
Curious: Of the users on this thread, how many have read Twilight? Or at least seen the movies? I myself have seen the movies (under pressure and just to see what was so good about it) and have read a few pages from all the books (Which I got bored by).
i think twilight has influenced my view on vampires very strong.
at the beginning - before reading or watching twilight - i was a huge fan of vampires. i loved all about them. but i disliked werewolfes at all. now it's the other way around. i know it sounds strange. but since twilight i really love werewolves. in my opinion edward and the other vampires were pictured a bit too arrogant and a bit too big-headed while jacob and the other werewolves are more thoghtful and caring. that's the way i saw/see the characters in the book/movie.
all in all i would say twilight turned my view of vampires and werewolves upside down.
twilight has nothing to do with vampires. It's all about teenage girls and their crushes on the "bad boy" who's really good at heart. It's a sickening horror story in a lot of ways, but not about vampires
So i feel that he was kinda cool in the beginning of the movie.. he was really mysterious... thenhe took his shirt off and started sparkling in the sun
I never was endured to Twilight. I even banned myself from reading it. Vampires have always held a low position in my opinion. And now, thanks to the Twilight Saga, I've grown to look down on vampires all the more. They're nothing short of cruel, inhuman and bloodthirsty. Twilight has made me think that Vampires are merely another breed of animal, like bats that suck blood.
I have never seen the movies or read the books, and my view of vampires before the existence of the series was pretty vague to begin with, so it pretty much hasn't changed anything.
