I would say I’m an average fan. I like Twilight stuff but I’m not delusional. It just wasn’t a witty comeback, that’s all. I can totally acknowledge the insane Twi-Hards who take it as a religion.
Seriously. I know for a fact that they’re poorly written. I gave the whole series a go. *thumbs down* AND I watched New Moon just to see if it would improve, another fail.
Twi-Hards? More like Twi-OHMYGODITHINKAMOVIE/SERIESISAWESOMEBECAUSETHEGUYSARESOHOTANDTHEYTAKETHEIRSHIRTSOFF.
I kinda agree. It’s funny, but she may not even like Twilight. If she had a million Twilight related things we could see on her Facebook it would be funnier.
I thought it was funny. This whole twilight thing is getting out of hand, pretty soon teenage girls are gonna start committing suicide because they’ll realize Edward Cullen isn’t real.
The funny thing about it is that there are people who think watching fat dudes in tights jumping on each other for hours isn’t entertaining either. Obnoxious people watching football and shouting loudly have existed for longer too. I say we boy-cot toolish things like that too if you’re going to try and boy-cot a piece of literature.
Since the word “literature” never meant GOOD books.
In fact here’s the definition: writings in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and universal interest, are characteristic or essential features, as poetry, novels, history, biography, and essays.
Twilight, sadly enough, fulfills those requirements.
Yeah, that would be a good one… except not all people who like Twilight want Edward to marry them. I’m not the biggest fan of the movies but the books are phenomenal and I don’t want Edward. Sure, I’m on Team Edward for the book Saga but… you know… I still don’t wanna marry him.
That’s scary, even to me.
And I’m one of the sane fans that read the book. :/
Fantasy=/=Real Life
(Like thoes people who wanted to be like Legolas when Lord of The Rings came out… Yeah…)
I’m a male who has read the Twilight series, i’m not gay… and you’re a close-minded prick.
PS It does kinda suck but the point is, you needa start rolling up a big blunt and move out of your mothers basement…
@Future Flight:
“I’m a male who has read the Twilight series, i’m not gay.”
You’re contradicting yourself, within the same sentence too. Think before you write, man.
It wasn’t a stupid comeback – I was seeing a girl a while back who lived for Twilight, told me all men should treat a woman like Edward treats Bella etc etc so you can tell this guy has had the same sort of pain.
The hypocracy of it all was that she was a stripper! Some deep seated issues there.
i love how twihard say that every guy should be like Edward. does that mean they want to be in a relationship where the guy’s a stalker, obsessive, controlling pansy? and that its okay to have sex with something that’s dead after knowing each other for what, like, 2 months? lol “oh you’re stalking me before i even knew you! lets go make out!”
its so fckin pathetic
I am SO glad that I am not the only one who noticed that.. the plot is so flawed in those movies i don’t really see what the big deal is. I actually thought I was going to really enjoy it before I watched it and I really just thought that it was stupid
yes, that is true actually. thank you for pointing that out and correcting me xD
okay, so we got stalking, abusive, controlling pansies that are dead pedophiles, and making it say that its okay to fall in love with someone and have sex shortly after meeting them, after finding out that they’ve been stalking you for months. anything else we’re missing?
Again, out of morbid curiosity. They were crap. The characters make no sense, why the hell does anyone in that school like Bella, why does she like Edward, why does anyone like anything about it? But this comeback is out of context, comes right out of nowhere and because of that, it’s not good. Perhaps if the original comment had anything to do with Twilight, yeah, it might be a good comeback but the second person might as well have said “YEAH WELL YOU SMELL HAHAHA”
Yeah, you have a point, but the guy made the comeback about Twilight since the OP was targeted towards males who seem to love sports. The comeback was targeted towards females in general who seem to love Twilight… a little too much.
I think that teenage girls get more crazy about Twilight than a dedicated NFL fan gets crazy at the Super Bowl.
It’s stupid because there’s no indication that the person likes Twilight. It is possible the person in question does indeed love Twilight, but the lack of context makes it stupid to third party observers. Furthermore, it’s incorrect; Bella wouldn’t be “a figment of your imagination”, as it’s a character created by an author, thus someone else’s imagination.
If you lose your ability to remain objective, you are just as bad as the fanboys.
I know some crazy Twilight fans, but none so delusional to think the characters are real people. As long as they’re under the age of 13, I guess it’s ok.
That’s the main goal of Twi-hards: Pick on everyone/everything that doesn’t like the series, regardless of age/gender/disability/illness. It makes me sick.
ooooooo sick burn. Ya that’s freaking hilarious, twilight fans are freaking crazy I lost my fiance because she wanted to leave me for my best friend and said it was because he looked like Jacob, and that it’s ok because I’m Edward and she will be back with me soon, she’s 22 years old, I laughed and left the state.
Actually, that’s a valid comparison. I have no interest about either sports or Twilight. So believe me when I’m saying that fans of both are equally ridiculous. The only difference is, ridiculing sports fans is not as popular as ridiculing Twilight fans. This leads to an ironic display of double standards.
For example, Kelli pointed out that Twilight fans got into a fight about their “teams”… yeah, that’s pathetic alright. Luckily, it never happens with sports fans. And as for Tom’s stripper date… it’s about as hypocritic as a fat investment banker sitting at his TV and criticizing professional athletes’ performance and competitive tactics.
So yeah. Btw, all this Twilight-related hatred is getting REALLY boring. Yes, some books are overrated, get over it, it will pass. Btw where were all you when the media revolved around overhyped run-of-the-mill adventure novel “The Da Vinci Code”?
It’s funny because all the Twilight fans, the extreme ones at least, really think the characters exist, or think that real vampires sparkle in the day light instead of, you know, becoming ashes or something like that.
ironically the first Dracula was an actual person, or the books about him were biased on an actual person, No he didn’t have super powers or could turn in to a bad he just kidnapped women and stuck them on spikes and drank there blood for kicks
okay, let me go stalk you then for 3 months, then lets have sex 2 weeks later. ignore the fact that i am probably 85+ years older than you, and i tell you what to do or else. but i will tell you “i love you,” which will make everything so much better.
your impression of a good guy? you’re pathetic
bella and edward didn’t have sex 2 weeks later!!! they waited until they were MARRIED which is more than i can say for sum ppl!! and he didn’t stalk her, he was just protective because he knew bad people were out to get her. there is NOTHING wrong with that!! you are the pathetic one for not realizing true love, NOT ME!!
Right. you’re not pathetic. Not at all. By the way, learn proper spelling. it’s not ‘sum ppl’ it’s ‘some people.’ Between the spelling and the rabid defense of two fictional characters, you make yourself look ignorant and yes, pathetic.
i can use abbrevs without being ignorant, THANKS!! i am not rabidly defending them i just think people need to GROW UP and learn not to bash iconic characters!! people can not like twilight, i don’t care and neither does stephanie with her MILLIONS, but there is no denying twilight isn’t legendary!! so hate on it (and me) all you want, it doesn’t matter!!!
so the people that are bashing it must learn to grow up, yet the twihard who can’t tell fiction from reality shouldn’t? +1 to logic. and i guess i’ll have to spell it out for you. /s-a-r-c-a-s-m. just so i could get the point out
i can totally tell fiction frum reality, THANKS. i know edward and bella aren’t real, they are made up characters. they are still awesome though and i can still hope to find somebody who is romantic and a GENTLEMEN like edward!! but hopefully not a vampire cause i don’t like the sight of blood haha lol that could present a real problem hehe lol
Excuse me but, are you mentally retarded? I know that I won’t change your mind on the topic but honestly? He would sneak into her room at night and watch her sleep! That is to say that he actually broke into her house to do so. That is one activity of a stalker. Also, I don’t know what world you come from, but, men do not sparkle unless they’re gay or a stripper. So sorry to ruin that for you . . . no, I’m not. Also Jacob was basically trying to keep her from being KILLED not trying to rape her. He, and his family were AGAINST the vampires being there and being so close to someone who used to be best friends with Jacob. Edward is basically an old fashioned, that is to say “get in that kitchen an’ make me a sammitch, woman. That’s what you’re there for apart from givin’ me a son” old fashioned, stalker-esque prick. And no I’m not defending Jacob because “LiEk HeS SoW HaWt!!!” as a matter of fact I don’t even know why I did. I am not in any way a fan of the series, because we all know it’s not good enough to call a saga, and after I read the series I have been plotting where and when to take the books so that I may light them on fire and laugh maniacally while doing so. That is all.
“iconic characters”?? Please tell me you’re kidding! Do you even know what that means? James Bond, Dr. Who, Spider-Man, Batman, Luke Skywalker, Superman, Captain America, James T. Kirk…these are some examples of iconic characters. Fictional creations that not only stand the test of time (and most, if not all of these will continue to do so well into my grandchilren’s grandchildren’s lives), but also hold certain ideal characteristics that should be emulated (and therefore would be icons). Who will know of or care about Twilight in 20 years? 30? 40? (with the exception of Skywalker EVERY one I named has been around at least that long) Will the same be said for Edward and Bella? Doubtful, VERY doubtful…
Put another way:
Your little boy runs around in his pjs with a dishtowel tied to his neck, pretendind he can fly, you buy him under-roos…
He runs around dressed as a grunged-out, flat-faced, whiny emo with glitter all over him you buy him…a therapist!
You took the words right out of my mouth. This series will not matter in 20 years, heck in 10 years the fad may have passed. Nosferatu/Dracula are iconic, Holden Caufield, Sherlock Holmes, Jeckel and Hyde, even Bugs Bunny-they are iconic characters.
i’m sorry you can not understand “exaggeration.”
and he didn’t stalk her? you just can’t admit to it can you? it was so obvious, to the point where he should have said “i’ve been stalking you.”– oh wait, he kind of did.
he was KIDDING tho, he wouldn’t really stalk her. again, he was just looking out for her cause bad people were after her and jacob was being really pushy. i don’t get the edward hate, if anything people should hate jacob, he would have RAPED bella if he could have!!!
Dear deity of any name one may choose, TELL me that sp is joking in this thread, and that he/she/it doesn’t actually believe any of the laughable idiocy he/she/it has spouted here.
I totally trolled you guys. That was actually pretty awesome, the replies I received were hilarious. I have to admit though, responding the way I did killed at least a few brain cells. And, unfortunately, I know quite a few girls who DO think like that, what I’ve seen on facebook was the basis of my responses. Thanks for the laughs though!
And actually, the best way to “enjoy” Twilight is to find it on audiobook and listen to it while getting high. That shit is hilarious!!
do you not get that this happened BEFORE any of the other damn vampires went out for her, and before Jacob was hardly introduced? judging by this convo you are a twihard who can’t tell fiction from reality, and nothing will change my mind since you obviously can only state “oh he’s not a bad guy! he was doing it to protect her!” with no further evidence. and kidding my ass. you really need to get back into reality. the quote isn’t “This is the skin of a killer -sparkles-.” the quote is “this is the skin of a newfaq -sparkles-.”
“he wouldn’t really stalk her” lol? are you seriously saying that? so you realize that they aren’t real, but you assume that Edward wouldn’t stalk someone, even though the author/director could make it so that he does stalk bella. face it, why would u make assumptions about a book character that isn’t real? it makes no sense to do that
AAAND…This is why the pregnancy rate of girls 18 and under have increased DRAMATICALLY over the years. This depicts the ignorance and naieve nature of many teenagers girls. Sad to generalize, but it is true.
sp… please tell me that you are kidding!!!!!! and iconic character is a character that will be remembered for years to come. Edward and Bella will be forgotten within about five years. Unless I’m wrong and the human race is so incredibly stupid that they will be cherished for years… God I hope not!! Oh, and by the way, true vampires have no souls and they cant go out in the sun… With the one exception of Spike and Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Those two own all other vampires. Also, real werewolves only change on the full moon, and they cant control themselves when in wolf form.
Geez! You guys are crazed about this! I like the books even though Edward IS a stalker. S.P: Where in the hell would you get the idea that Jacob would have raped Bella? There is no place in the books where anything like that happens.
For those of you who don’t like the books, good for you! But if I want to like them that’s my business and I’m not automatically lame for liking them. I’ve got plenty of other things that make me lame.
i myself, have no problem with people liking the book. in my opinion i think its crap, but i respect other people’s opinions. its just when they start mistaking it for reality, that i step in, or when people are like “oh ever guy should be more like this!! i’ll wait for the perfect Edward/Jacob until i die!!” – you will be waiting a long, long time then. lol
To those of you who are writing Facebook messages to people who are watching football on TV, no matter how loudly you type, the football watchers will never read your status update. That is all.
Well that’s presumptuous of you. Who are you to say somebody couldn’t accidentally or purposefully read a status? I actually agree with the status since I’m decent friends with some of those obnoxious people and I wanna pull a Chris Brown on them when they sit their having a meltdown over a simple game. You don’t see people screaming at golf when they don’t get a hole in one so get over the one touchdown or one call that you obviously could have made better.
@someone: Your extensive knowledge of the Twilight series in your argument above proves that you are the “twihard” of whom you speak! do you not see it? because I sure as hell do!! YOU WIN!!
I have not seen the movies, nor have I read the books, and I know how delusional some girls are in regards to Twilight. All you need to know is in the trailers, which are everywhere.
No, but you managed to plod your way through a series of books that are more concerned with detailing what the characters eat for every meal than developing a plot in the first few chapters.
For the record for every author of a vampire story there is a different take on vampires. Bram Stoker was not the first author of a vampire story so those of you bashing on the Twilight vampires for being sparkly and not “typically” vampire like really don’t know what you’re talking about. The only universal vampire trait is that they drink blood, and I’ve even seen them (in stories of course) where that isn’t true. Doesn’t make them any less of a vampire. That’s what’s great about imagination, anything is possible.
And Bram Stoker’s Dracula was the first really well known one to be seductive. What is your point? You realize that Romanian vampires in folklore are nothing more than vicious rotting corpses right? The vampire myth has been manipulated and reinterpreted from the get go.
my point? okay, i’ll list it out for you. almost all vampires follow these rules:
1. can’t touch sunlight or they burn up.
2. running water, or holy water burns their skin.
3. they have no souls/are dead.
4. suck blood from people.
5. due to the fact that sunlight burns them, they come out at night.
6. when vampires drink the blood of a person, they’re supposed to turn into a vampire too.
7. some sort of power
there are many more, i’ll just use these 7 as an example.
okay, now lets compare Twilight to those 7. oh, only #7 can apply to the list
1. goes to school, isn’t affected
2. plays baseball in the rain
3. supposedly has a soul
4. sucks blood from animals, not people.
5. goes to school, like i said.
6. don’t recall seeing anything like this. unless it happens later on in the books.
7. speed, strength, and mind reading. woo?
Classic vampires in the Bram Stoker tradition do follow those rules, but they are by no means the only vampires. As I said, for every author there is a slightly different take on what a vampire is or isn’t.
1. Kim Harrison’s vampire’s start out as “live” vampire’s born to two other live vampires who become undead vampires once they die the first time. While alive they can go into the sun.
PC Casts vampires follow a similar tradition with regard to sunlight.
Richelle Mead has two different kinds of vampires, one of which can go out in the daylight.
2. In the movie Fright Night, holy objects only work if you truly believe in them so a cross or holy water wouldn’t work for a Jewish person, but a star of david might.
3. See number one. Kim Harrison’s live vampires have souls. Angel and Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer both were given souls.
4. Angel subsisted on rats for a long time on Buffy.
5. see 1
6. There have been many different ways to make a vamp, some you simply have to drink from the person to turn them, or you have to drink a certain number of times, or have a blood exchange, or be born as one, or be chosen by a goddess, etc…
Anne Rice’s Lestat could enter a church. I even read one version of a vampire that was an alien being, if I remember correctly, and it had octopus like tentacles with suckers used to suck blood.
If you’re only measuring stick of vampireness is Bram Stoker then obviously Stephenie Meyer’s vampires might seem weird, but every incarnation is different to some degree.
….What does any of that have to do with Meyer’s creations being pathetic one-dimensional creatures that only emo kids and fat desperate housewives can relate to?
It doesn’t matter if she adds or detracts from the myths of the vampire, the fact is as literary characters they’re just awful.
Vampires are based of a myth, this myth has certain information regarding the weaknesses and rules of Vampires. The traditional Vampires are basically the same except sometimes someone adds an extra rule.
A Vampire traditionally drinks blood yes but you said in some they don’t…Vampiric creatures drink blood, If they don’t then they are obviously not Vampiric so yes it does make them less Vampires more something else.
I don’t think that changing the sunlight thing was a bad idea but sparkles? Now that is just bad storytelling these are creatures which humans fear and if they sparkle then yeah…Umm..I’m gonna put a stake in your heart now sparkly boy…
I’m not complaining about the change of a rule of Vampires because Darren Shan does that but he still made a good book which people rarely complain about doesn’t he?
But the Vampire myth was made for people to fear these creatures, it was for horror and not to be turned into a sparkle fest.
And to all those who haven’t read the book or you are only going to watch the movies here is some information- Belle joins the Vampires after the werewolf fiasco and marries Edward…Seriously WTF kind of storytelling is that?
Yes the original vampires were for horror, the original vampires were nothing more than blood thirsty walking corpses, i’ve seen them refered to as revenants in modern stories. The myth has evolved however and Meyer’s evolutionary thread is different yes, but no less valid than any other evolutionary thread. You find sparkliness to be a step to far, that’s fine, don’t read them, that doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t be allowed to like them.
I myself find the fact that female characters are so quick to love a vampire irksome, most of them are the walking dead. I prefer the evil vampire stories myself, that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy variations.
The old stories were for scaring in general, the modern stories appeal more to females liking the bad boy and thinking they can change them.
Doesn’t mean I assume they’re all a bunch of rabid psychos who are madly in love with fictional characters.
Jeez, you think the people commenting on here would respect other people’s opinions when it comes to literature. Twilight isn’t vulgar or horribly offensive, so chill and stop being douchebags.
Thank you very much sir, I am not a fan of Twilight myself…Actually I hated it.
But I am not one of the overreactors who bash anyone who reads it because honestly whats the point?
What I do bash though are the people who try to make me like it and these people exist so I do bash some Twilight fans, but only those who poke at me about it.
The overly hyper fans are fine actually, they may be like “OMG I LOVE EDWARD” but at least they mainly ignore me when I say I don’t like Twilight.
I also think that people saying the actors are somewhat….whatever yo call them is terrible. You haven’t met them or know them so you don’t know what they are like. Same as me I don’t know either.
FIRRRRRRRST!
you sir, win the internetz!
That sir, was a win. i’m using that.
First person to give other people a reason to say that they don’t care and to tell me that I’m a loser for saying…
FIRST!
I’m sorry to break it for you but…
That was a stupid comeback.
….because you’re a Twilight fan.
LOLOLOL PWN’T.
I would say I’m an average fan. I like Twilight stuff but I’m not delusional. It just wasn’t a witty comeback, that’s all. I can totally acknowledge the insane Twi-Hards who take it as a religion.
You mean “Twi-Tards”, don’t you?
No. If you like Twilight, you ARE delusional. The writing is so terrible.
Seriously. I know for a fact that they’re poorly written. I gave the whole series a go. *thumbs down* AND I watched New Moon just to see if it would improve, another fail.
Twi-Hards? More like Twi-OHMYGODITHINKAMOVIE/SERIESISAWESOMEBECAUSETHEGUYSARESOHOTANDTHEYTAKETHEIRSHIRTSOFF.
Please, this is so sad.
Okay, I’m NOT a twilight fan, and I’ll say it–that was a stupid comeback.
…cuz ur a doosh
I kinda agree. It’s funny, but she may not even like Twilight. If she had a million Twilight related things we could see on her Facebook it would be funnier.
“a figment of your imagination” lololol
Pirate Talk Win
How did you get your “Like” to read as “be appreciat’in this”?
They have their language settings to “pirate” instead of “english”
I just changed it to Pirate, it’s pretty goddamn awesome. Yarrr!
why can’t i find the ‘pirate’ setting in the language?
Check out English (pirate) it should be somewhere near English (US).
Thanks!
I thought “like” for a pirate was [name] be eyeing this with pleasure?
What a stupid comeback
Because your a twilight fan
It wasn’t that bad.
It was a pretty stupid status post in the first place.
I thought it was funny. This whole twilight thing is getting out of hand, pretty soon teenage girls are gonna start committing suicide because they’ll realize Edward Cullen isn’t real.
The funny thing about it is that there are people who think watching fat dudes in tights jumping on each other for hours isn’t entertaining either. Obnoxious people watching football and shouting loudly have existed for longer too. I say we boy-cot toolish things like that too if you’re going to try and boy-cot a piece of literature.
Since when can Twilight be counted as “literature”?
Since the word “literature” never meant GOOD books.
In fact here’s the definition: writings in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and universal interest, are characteristic or essential features, as poetry, novels, history, biography, and essays.
Twilight, sadly enough, fulfills those requirements.
…and there’s no such word as ‘boy-cot’.
What language is his facebook set in?
ARRRHH ‘TIS PIRATE!!
To those saying the comeback was stupid….
I’m going to assume you haven’t really seen the die hard Twilight fans…the really think these people exist..it’s pretty scary.
That, or they’re Twilight fans that think they can relate to the characters.
not only is it scary… I saw a fight break out between two besties over teams… it’s pathetic
I’ve seen these fans, and it doesn’t make the comeback any funnier.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it’s now the complainers who bring Twilight into every conversation.
He should have said “To those of you who read twilight: Edward will never marry you”
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! love that response just as much
Stellar!
Yeah, that would be a good one… except not all people who like Twilight want Edward to marry them. I’m not the biggest fan of the movies but the books are phenomenal and I don’t want Edward. Sure, I’m on Team Edward for the book Saga but… you know… I still don’t wanna marry him.
What he should have said was:
To all of those who read Twilight,
They are not vampires, they are ice dancers with a blood fetish.
@Kelsey
That’s scary, even to me.
And I’m one of the sane fans that read the book. :/
Fantasy=/=Real Life
(Like thoes people who wanted to be like Legolas when Lord of The Rings came out… Yeah…)
At least pretending to be Legolas didn’t generally involve ripping peoples’ throats out with your teeth.
Unless they stole your shampoo, of course.
It’s true…the fans are rabid.
And delusional
and they sparkle
THIS IS THE SKIN OF A RABID FANGIRL
you have just earned +1 of my respect
And they all have the hots for Ed Cullen
seeing as all Twilight fans are either Gay or Female (No disresepect to any of the previously mentioned parties)
I’m a male who has read the Twilight series, i’m not gay… and you’re a close-minded prick.
PS It does kinda suck but the point is, you needa start rolling up a big blunt and move out of your mothers basement…
@Future Flight:
“I’m a male who has read the Twilight series, i’m not gay.”
You’re contradicting yourself, within the same sentence too. Think before you write, man.
^^WIN!
and they “suck”
“Bella and Edward FOREVER!”
Not if I get my way… Farenheit 451 style their aingsty asses -.-
lol, nice, you get a million zillion free internets for the Ray Bradbury reference !!!!
It wasn’t a stupid comeback – I was seeing a girl a while back who lived for Twilight, told me all men should treat a woman like Edward treats Bella etc etc so you can tell this guy has had the same sort of pain.
The hypocracy of it all was that she was a stripper! Some deep seated issues there.
i love how twihard say that every guy should be like Edward. does that mean they want to be in a relationship where the guy’s a stalker, obsessive, controlling pansy? and that its okay to have sex with something that’s dead after knowing each other for what, like, 2 months? lol “oh you’re stalking me before i even knew you! lets go make out!”
its so fckin pathetic
I am SO glad that I am not the only one who noticed that.. the plot is so flawed in those movies i don’t really see what the big deal is. I actually thought I was going to really enjoy it before I watched it and I really just thought that it was stupid
can’t forget the “werewolf” conflict either. guess its okay to be a pedophile
Edward was born 100+ years ago.
Twi had pedos since the very beginning. -.-
yes, that is true actually. thank you for pointing that out and correcting me xD
okay, so we got stalking, abusive, controlling pansies that are dead pedophiles, and making it say that its okay to fall in love with someone and have sex shortly after meeting them, after finding out that they’ve been stalking you for months. anything else we’re missing?
^ win.
Actually, they don’t have sex for a few years.
haha is facebook is set to pirate language… funny
Those of you who think it’s a stupid comeback are twihards. Nice try.
I think it’s a stupid comeback and I’ve never read the books and only seen the movies out of morbid curiosity.
Really? Both movies? Nice try, twihard.
Again, out of morbid curiosity. They were crap. The characters make no sense, why the hell does anyone in that school like Bella, why does she like Edward, why does anyone like anything about it? But this comeback is out of context, comes right out of nowhere and because of that, it’s not good. Perhaps if the original comment had anything to do with Twilight, yeah, it might be a good comeback but the second person might as well have said “YEAH WELL YOU SMELL HAHAHA”
Yeah, you have a point, but the guy made the comeback about Twilight since the OP was targeted towards males who seem to love sports. The comeback was targeted towards females in general who seem to love Twilight… a little too much.
I think that teenage girls get more crazy about Twilight than a dedicated NFL fan gets crazy at the Super Bowl.
I haven’t read any of them, haven’t seen either movie, and have no desire to. And I think it was stupid.
It’s stupid because there’s no indication that the person likes Twilight. It is possible the person in question does indeed love Twilight, but the lack of context makes it stupid to third party observers. Furthermore, it’s incorrect; Bella wouldn’t be “a figment of your imagination”, as it’s a character created by an author, thus someone else’s imagination.
If you lose your ability to remain objective, you are just as bad as the fanboys.
Rofl twilight fan sucks
Technically Bella is a figment of Stephanie Meyer’s imagination.
How do I configure my Facebook to “about XX minutes ago” to something else?
I know some crazy Twilight fans, but none so delusional to think the characters are real people. As long as they’re under the age of 13, I guess it’s ok.
It’s never okay. I’ve seen some of those Twi-hards viciously pick on a ten-year-old girl with cancer for not liking the series.
Well obviously nothing is good when taken to the extreme.
That’s the main goal of Twi-hards: Pick on everyone/everything that doesn’t like the series, regardless of age/gender/disability/illness. It makes me sick.
epic win
maybe this is just me, but how do you get the pirate stuff? I mean the ‘weigh in’ ‘be appreciatin this’ to davy jones locker wit it’…? Help me?
ooooooo sick burn. Ya that’s freaking hilarious, twilight fans are freaking crazy I lost my fiance because she wanted to leave me for my best friend and said it was because he looked like Jacob, and that it’s ok because I’m Edward and she will be back with me soon, she’s 22 years old, I laughed and left the state.

So yeah. Btw, all this Twilight-related hatred is getting REALLY boring. Yes, some books are overrated, get over it, it will pass. Btw where were all you when the media revolved around overhyped run-of-the-mill adventure novel “The Da Vinci Code”?
hey, uhh. the only difference is.. sports are REAL. Twilight if FAKE
*is
some sports are rigged
LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This made my day.
Would be funnier if we knew if she was obsessed with Twilight.
Seems like he’s just assuming it cuz she’s a girl.
It’s funny because all the Twilight fans, the extreme ones at least, really think the characters exist, or think that real vampires sparkle in the day light instead of, you know, becoming ashes or something like that.
Interestingly, probably the original vampire, Dracula, didn’t turn to ashes or anything in the sunlight, he just lost all of his powers.
ironically the first Dracula was an actual person, or the books about him were biased on an actual person, No he didn’t have super powers or could turn in to a bad he just kidnapped women and stuck them on spikes and drank there blood for kicks
too many of these are being put up in Pirate. It’s bugging me.
Pirate is awesome
Only reinforces the misconception that “Hates on Twilight = Instantly funny”.
You are correct.
people who hate on edward should feel BAD!! he is a great guy, i wish i had one hehe lol i love twilight!!
okay, let me go stalk you then for 3 months, then lets have sex 2 weeks later. ignore the fact that i am probably 85+ years older than you, and i tell you what to do or else. but i will tell you “i love you,” which will make everything so much better.
your impression of a good guy? you’re pathetic
bella and edward didn’t have sex 2 weeks later!!! they waited until they were MARRIED which is more than i can say for sum ppl!! and he didn’t stalk her, he was just protective because he knew bad people were out to get her. there is NOTHING wrong with that!! you are the pathetic one for not realizing true love, NOT ME!!
Right. you’re not pathetic. Not at all. By the way, learn proper spelling. it’s not ‘sum ppl’ it’s ‘some people.’ Between the spelling and the rabid defense of two fictional characters, you make yourself look ignorant and yes, pathetic.
i can use abbrevs without being ignorant, THANKS!! i am not rabidly defending them i just think people need to GROW UP and learn not to bash iconic characters!! people can not like twilight, i don’t care and neither does stephanie with her MILLIONS, but there is no denying twilight isn’t legendary!! so hate on it (and me) all you want, it doesn’t matter!!!
so the people that are bashing it must learn to grow up, yet the twihard who can’t tell fiction from reality shouldn’t? +1 to logic. and i guess i’ll have to spell it out for you. /s-a-r-c-a-s-m. just so i could get the point out
i can totally tell fiction frum reality, THANKS. i know edward and bella aren’t real, they are made up characters. they are still awesome though and i can still hope to find somebody who is romantic and a GENTLEMEN like edward!! but hopefully not a vampire cause i don’t like the sight of blood haha lol that could present a real problem hehe lol
you really are retarded aren’t you?
Excuse me but, are you mentally retarded? I know that I won’t change your mind on the topic but honestly? He would sneak into her room at night and watch her sleep! That is to say that he actually broke into her house to do so. That is one activity of a stalker. Also, I don’t know what world you come from, but, men do not sparkle unless they’re gay or a stripper. So sorry to ruin that for you . . . no, I’m not. Also Jacob was basically trying to keep her from being KILLED not trying to rape her. He, and his family were AGAINST the vampires being there and being so close to someone who used to be best friends with Jacob. Edward is basically an old fashioned, that is to say “get in that kitchen an’ make me a sammitch, woman. That’s what you’re there for apart from givin’ me a son” old fashioned, stalker-esque prick. And no I’m not defending Jacob because “LiEk HeS SoW HaWt!!!” as a matter of fact I don’t even know why I did. I am not in any way a fan of the series, because we all know it’s not good enough to call a saga, and after I read the series I have been plotting where and when to take the books so that I may light them on fire and laugh maniacally while doing so. That is all.
Hey, sp, do you know what Bella’s favorite color is? Blue. Know why? Edward says so. Still think that he’s a gentleman?
“iconic characters”?? Please tell me you’re kidding! Do you even know what that means? James Bond, Dr. Who, Spider-Man, Batman, Luke Skywalker, Superman, Captain America, James T. Kirk…these are some examples of iconic characters. Fictional creations that not only stand the test of time (and most, if not all of these will continue to do so well into my grandchilren’s grandchildren’s lives), but also hold certain ideal characteristics that should be emulated (and therefore would be icons). Who will know of or care about Twilight in 20 years? 30? 40? (with the exception of Skywalker EVERY one I named has been around at least that long) Will the same be said for Edward and Bella? Doubtful, VERY doubtful…
Put another way:
Your little boy runs around in his pjs with a dishtowel tied to his neck, pretendind he can fly, you buy him under-roos…
He runs around dressed as a grunged-out, flat-faced, whiny emo with glitter all over him you buy him…a therapist!
You took the words right out of my mouth. This series will not matter in 20 years, heck in 10 years the fad may have passed. Nosferatu/Dracula are iconic, Holden Caufield, Sherlock Holmes, Jeckel and Hyde, even Bugs Bunny-they are iconic characters.
You mean StephEnie, not StephAnie.
I’d rather not have my name be tarnished more than necessary by a writer who doesn’t even reach the level of ‘mediocre’.
i’m sorry you can not understand “exaggeration.”
and he didn’t stalk her? you just can’t admit to it can you? it was so obvious, to the point where he should have said “i’ve been stalking you.”– oh wait, he kind of did.
he was KIDDING tho, he wouldn’t really stalk her. again, he was just looking out for her cause bad people were after her and jacob was being really pushy. i don’t get the edward hate, if anything people should hate jacob, he would have RAPED bella if he could have!!!
Dear deity of any name one may choose, TELL me that sp is joking in this thread, and that he/she/it doesn’t actually believe any of the laughable idiocy he/she/it has spouted here.
and oops, i put that as a reply to vince. sorry vince xD
and vince, one can only hope, but even that may be too much to ask for =/
I totally trolled you guys. That was actually pretty awesome, the replies I received were hilarious. I have to admit though, responding the way I did killed at least a few brain cells. And, unfortunately, I know quite a few girls who DO think like that, what I’ve seen on facebook was the basis of my responses. Thanks for the laughs though!
And actually, the best way to “enjoy” Twilight is to find it on audiobook and listen to it while getting high. That shit is hilarious!!
OH THANK GOD!!!!! you… if ur telling the truth… which I hope you are…
stfu, you weren’t trolling. you’re just trying to make it seem like you were since you know you lost the argument.
Um… what the hell just happened?
do you not get that this happened BEFORE any of the other damn vampires went out for her, and before Jacob was hardly introduced? judging by this convo you are a twihard who can’t tell fiction from reality, and nothing will change my mind since you obviously can only state “oh he’s not a bad guy! he was doing it to protect her!” with no further evidence. and kidding my ass. you really need to get back into reality. the quote isn’t “This is the skin of a killer -sparkles-.” the quote is “this is the skin of a newfaq -sparkles-.”
“he wouldn’t really stalk her” lol? are you seriously saying that? so you realize that they aren’t real, but you assume that Edward wouldn’t stalk someone, even though the author/director could make it so that he does stalk bella. face it, why would u make assumptions about a book character that isn’t real? it makes no sense to do that
AAAND…This is why the pregnancy rate of girls 18 and under have increased DRAMATICALLY over the years. This depicts the ignorance and naieve nature of many teenagers girls. Sad to generalize, but it is true.
sp… please tell me that you are kidding!!!!!! and iconic character is a character that will be remembered for years to come. Edward and Bella will be forgotten within about five years. Unless I’m wrong and the human race is so incredibly stupid that they will be cherished for years… God I hope not!! Oh, and by the way, true vampires have no souls and they cant go out in the sun… With the one exception of Spike and Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Those two own all other vampires. Also, real werewolves only change on the full moon, and they cant control themselves when in wolf form.
Geez! You guys are crazed about this! I like the books even though Edward IS a stalker. S.P: Where in the hell would you get the idea that Jacob would have raped Bella? There is no place in the books where anything like that happens.
For those of you who don’t like the books, good for you! But if I want to like them that’s my business and I’m not automatically lame for liking them. I’ve got plenty of other things that make me lame.
i myself, have no problem with people liking the book. in my opinion i think its crap, but i respect other people’s opinions. its just when they start mistaking it for reality, that i step in, or when people are like “oh ever guy should be more like this!! i’ll wait for the perfect Edward/Jacob until i die!!” – you will be waiting a long, long time then. lol
HEY! Team STFU was totally my idea! Screw you, Cheezburger!
Lame. The twilight comeback sort of just came out of nowhere. She might not even like twilight!
She probably likes Twilight, hence why it was put there. It’s a reasonable inference, more reasonable than assuming it came out of no where.
Go back to your Edward.
To those of you who are writing Facebook messages to people who are watching football on TV, no matter how loudly you type, the football watchers will never read your status update. That is all.
I lol’d.
Epic win and much more relevant than the actual response.
Well that’s presumptuous of you. Who are you to say somebody couldn’t accidentally or purposefully read a status? I actually agree with the status since I’m decent friends with some of those obnoxious people and I wanna pull a Chris Brown on them when they sit their having a meltdown over a simple game. You don’t see people screaming at golf when they don’t get a hole in one so get over the one touchdown or one call that you obviously could have made better.
/rant
I think that both of those posts are win actually….
@someone: Your extensive knowledge of the Twilight series in your argument above proves that you are the “twihard” of whom you speak! do you not see it? because I sure as hell do!! YOU WIN!!
to have a valid argument, one must know of what he’s talking about. dumbass
I have not seen the movies, nor have I read the books, and I know how delusional some girls are in regards to Twilight. All you need to know is in the trailers, which are everywhere.
Agreed. It is the sole reason I finished the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so i could say emphatically and with authority that it sucks.
hey LOTR fuking rocks. cut at least i dont go “AHHHHH GALADRIEL!!!!” over all the characters
No, but you managed to plod your way through a series of books that are more concerned with detailing what the characters eat for every meal than developing a plot in the first few chapters.
To be honest, you’re just as bad.
Agreed, sir. A good hero (you) must know everything about the the villain (Twilight).
At least it means that he/she has a right to have that opinion. Some people say they hate Twilight without having ever read it, or even part of it.
I read about half the first book, then stopped because it was just so awful. Doesn’t make me a “twihard”.
thank you to those you understand xD
*who understand. i really can’t type lately. lol
for some reason, I like the misquote. “thank you to those you understand” ….hmn….
This isn’t true. They can hear you, and your yelling can affect the outcome of the game.
Damn, you just made me lose The Game
Thank both of you for saying these things… even if the comment was supposed to be a comeback.
Wait…how do you change the text on facebook? Like the different “like” button?
For the record for every author of a vampire story there is a different take on vampires. Bram Stoker was not the first author of a vampire story so those of you bashing on the Twilight vampires for being sparkly and not “typically” vampire like really don’t know what you’re talking about. The only universal vampire trait is that they drink blood, and I’ve even seen them (in stories of course) where that isn’t true. Doesn’t make them any less of a vampire. That’s what’s great about imagination, anything is possible.
i think you fail to see the point that Twilight is the first thing to make vampires sparkle in the sunlight.
And Bram Stoker’s Dracula was the first really well known one to be seductive. What is your point? You realize that Romanian vampires in folklore are nothing more than vicious rotting corpses right? The vampire myth has been manipulated and reinterpreted from the get go.
my point? okay, i’ll list it out for you. almost all vampires follow these rules:
1. can’t touch sunlight or they burn up.
2. running water, or holy water burns their skin.
3. they have no souls/are dead.
4. suck blood from people.
5. due to the fact that sunlight burns them, they come out at night.
6. when vampires drink the blood of a person, they’re supposed to turn into a vampire too.
7. some sort of power
there are many more, i’ll just use these 7 as an example.
okay, now lets compare Twilight to those 7. oh, only #7 can apply to the list
1. goes to school, isn’t affected
2. plays baseball in the rain
3. supposedly has a soul
4. sucks blood from animals, not people.
5. goes to school, like i said.
6. don’t recall seeing anything like this. unless it happens later on in the books.
7. speed, strength, and mind reading. woo?
Classic vampires in the Bram Stoker tradition do follow those rules, but they are by no means the only vampires. As I said, for every author there is a slightly different take on what a vampire is or isn’t.
1. Kim Harrison’s vampire’s start out as “live” vampire’s born to two other live vampires who become undead vampires once they die the first time. While alive they can go into the sun.
PC Casts vampires follow a similar tradition with regard to sunlight.
Richelle Mead has two different kinds of vampires, one of which can go out in the daylight.
2. In the movie Fright Night, holy objects only work if you truly believe in them so a cross or holy water wouldn’t work for a Jewish person, but a star of david might.
3. See number one. Kim Harrison’s live vampires have souls. Angel and Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer both were given souls.
4. Angel subsisted on rats for a long time on Buffy.
5. see 1
6. There have been many different ways to make a vamp, some you simply have to drink from the person to turn them, or you have to drink a certain number of times, or have a blood exchange, or be born as one, or be chosen by a goddess, etc…
Anne Rice’s Lestat could enter a church. I even read one version of a vampire that was an alien being, if I remember correctly, and it had octopus like tentacles with suckers used to suck blood.
If you’re only measuring stick of vampireness is Bram Stoker then obviously Stephenie Meyer’s vampires might seem weird, but every incarnation is different to some degree.
….What does any of that have to do with Meyer’s creations being pathetic one-dimensional creatures that only emo kids and fat desperate housewives can relate to?
It doesn’t matter if she adds or detracts from the myths of the vampire, the fact is as literary characters they’re just awful.
And who made you god of designating suckiness? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Vampires are based of a myth, this myth has certain information regarding the weaknesses and rules of Vampires. The traditional Vampires are basically the same except sometimes someone adds an extra rule.
A Vampire traditionally drinks blood yes but you said in some they don’t…Vampiric creatures drink blood, If they don’t then they are obviously not Vampiric so yes it does make them less Vampires more something else.
I don’t think that changing the sunlight thing was a bad idea but sparkles? Now that is just bad storytelling these are creatures which humans fear and if they sparkle then yeah…Umm..I’m gonna put a stake in your heart now sparkly boy…
I’m not complaining about the change of a rule of Vampires because Darren Shan does that but he still made a good book which people rarely complain about doesn’t he?
But the Vampire myth was made for people to fear these creatures, it was for horror and not to be turned into a sparkle fest.
And to all those who haven’t read the book or you are only going to watch the movies here is some information- Belle joins the Vampires after the werewolf fiasco and marries Edward…Seriously WTF kind of storytelling is that?
Yes the original vampires were for horror, the original vampires were nothing more than blood thirsty walking corpses, i’ve seen them refered to as revenants in modern stories. The myth has evolved however and Meyer’s evolutionary thread is different yes, but no less valid than any other evolutionary thread. You find sparkliness to be a step to far, that’s fine, don’t read them, that doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t be allowed to like them.
I myself find the fact that female characters are so quick to love a vampire irksome, most of them are the walking dead. I prefer the evil vampire stories myself, that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy variations.
The old stories were for scaring in general, the modern stories appeal more to females liking the bad boy and thinking they can change them.
I’m not a fan of Twilight. But other people are.
Doesn’t mean I assume they’re all a bunch of rabid psychos who are madly in love with fictional characters.
Jeez, you think the people commenting on here would respect other people’s opinions when it comes to literature. Twilight isn’t vulgar or horribly offensive, so chill and stop being douchebags.
Thank you very much sir, I am not a fan of Twilight myself…Actually I hated it.
But I am not one of the overreactors who bash anyone who reads it because honestly whats the point?
What I do bash though are the people who try to make me like it and these people exist so I do bash some Twilight fans, but only those who poke at me about it.
The overly hyper fans are fine actually, they may be like “OMG I LOVE EDWARD” but at least they mainly ignore me when I say I don’t like Twilight.
Peace and Quiet.
So it says on the comments part scrawl a message and so and so be aprecian’in this in the like part. How do I do that stuff?!
WIN!!!
she got owned…literally
epic win
*bows to commenter*
I LOVE TWILIGHT SO MUCH! my friends call me crazy and they roll their eyes. It’s funny though and I’ve heard good comebacks. nice one
I also think that people saying the actors are somewhat….whatever yo call them is terrible. You haven’t met them or know them so you don’t know what they are like. Same as me I don’t know either.
