### Twilight sucks.

- Quote

Post by Psychic Robot » Tue Jul 14, 2009 5:13 am

If you like it, you're a terrible person who is going to burn in hell. Bella is Stephenie Meyer's fucking self-insert Mary Sue, and Edward is a goddamn wish-fulfillment Mary Sue. There is no real conflict in the story. Meyer is a shit writer and her legion of mindless followers cause me to boil with unending and impotent rage.
And a werewolf falls in love with one of Bella's ova.
This is a better version of the movie script. Here is an analysis (and summary) of the books by an ex-Mormon.
Your life is now richer for having read this post.

No offence, PR, but you are preaching to the converted so hardcore, any worse would be a televangelist talking to himself.

I could dig a sparkly chick. But that's what glitter and skin safe glue is for.

Well.... I'm not really looking for a guy.
Sparkles on a girl though..... I guess it depends on how sparkly they are?

I don't really understand why everybody feels the need to rag on a novel written to be liked by and comprehensible for tweenagers. It's like ragging on Goosebumps for having trite and stupid plots.

No Goosebumps wasn't awesome. Were they supposed to be in any way scary?

In terms of sparkly, I can almost see the romantic aspect of your true love standing out of the crowd, always being able to see them and up to seeing them sparkling. Almost. If it was a personal thing and only you could see it. Maybe. If you were on drugs at the time.
Okay, fine, its retarded.
Someone I know really liked the series, and I can't call them an idiot because I'm currently borrowing his Wii.

Ever noticed how they don't teach sex education in Harry Potter? And there is no contraception? You can't really put it off by saying that its for kids when the last couple of books really aren't. Can you really see yourself explaining to your child about the second world war and about how in the book it was all about fighting evil wizards? Anyone under the age of puberty won't understand much of it, if any.

Contraception would be bad because that would mean fewer wizards and STDs aren't a problem that a little bit of magic couldn't fix.

All I know is a bunch of my female coworkers are passing around that Twilight book and talking about how much they like it. I asked them if it truly made any sense that 100+ yr old vampires were in a highschool and lusting after a dumb chica and also how ridiculous was the sparkling.
Unanimously it was declared that the highschool setting made sense and the sparkling was ominously blamed on diamonds. I dared not ask more.

except it's a co-ed boarding school with students between the ages of 13 and 18, I'm sure they don't want students having sex, but I'm sure they also realize it's inevitable, and would rather not have students bringing babies into classes (especially since the babies could interrupt exacting potion brewing and cause, at best, small explosions, or the babies could be harmed by something.) I would think the students get some form of sex ed, possibly folded into magical beast husbandry taught by Hagrid.
However, I'm just an american that spells (some) things the british way, I don't really know much about the british attitude toward sex.

Inequivocable proof that most people are retards.

I'd be willing to be charitable and call it proof that people are just willing to suspend disbelief as much as necessary for something they enjoy.

Well, that's simple. Hogwarts has a magical enchantment that inhibits any sort of conception while the students are enrolled.

Well, in-universe, that's not true.
It's explained that technology just frizzes out because of all the magic in the area.
Which, really, that was...unsatisfying. Rowling says there's magical auras. Hogwarts has a powerful one because, let's face, it's an artifact-level building. Dumbledore could even sense the auras. But it only gets mentioned twice.
But there's stuff to get keep muggles away from the castle...there's stuff to make them see the castle is just an uninteresting ruin. Which is only mentioned by Hermione because she read the book about Hogwarts to be dutiful in her role as Information Repository.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.
