Back in the day when it came to vampires the bigger names were Dracula, Angel(Buffy), Spike(Buffy), and Blade. Now these days it is the Twilight series that has taken over. I mean come on, how does such a series become popular. First of all the main protagonist Bella is not really that great of a character. Why do I say this?, well other humans in vampire related stories like Buffy Summers or Sookie Stackhouse are strong willed and interesting. But Bella is not even close, throughout the freakin series she is shown to be a depressed girl who after meeting a vampire is obsessed with becoming a vampire, and in the process pushing away her family and friends. Then there is Edward. In the books and the movies Edward is supposed to be this brave and cool vampire, but he is the opposite. When is was watching New Moon in the movie theater, I was watching the seen where Edward takes his shirt off, a lot of people sitting around me where very disappointed. In the books Edward is supposed to have a buffed out body, but in the movies he is just a scrawny British dude. Plus he is also a stalker. What kind of person watches someone as they sleep?. Then there are the vampires in Twilight. This is where the series really pisses me off. The werewolves of twilight are okay, but the vampires are another story. In Twilight, rather than turn to stone, or burn in the sunlight, they sparkle. Even killing them without sunlight is a freakin challenge, you can't stake them through the heart, you need to remove head then burn the rest of the body. I mean come on, what happen killing vampires being simple?. Well that's all I have to say about this series from heck. I hope nobody hates me for this post, I just wanted to express my opinion on this matter. Piece.

I agree with you completely. Bella has no personality. Even when she's in severe pain her face never changes. Edward and Jacob are the obsessions of all the little girls, teenagers, and even grown women of today's society and the pricks aren't even that good looking. Personally I think Edward looks gross with his pale skin and boney stomach. If they were going to make Edward pale they should have used a guy who can pull off the pale look. He can't by any means. As for Jacob, he needs an attitude adjustment and he should not have cut his hair. He looks like a 12-year-old with that short hair. The only vampire I like in that entire series is Alice just because she's pretty and sweet and actually has a unique personality. Oh and you are sooo right about the sparkling thing. That just grinds my gears something fierce. I think Stephanie Meyers was high when she wrote these books. The fact that vampires are now being shown in this manner is ruining the vampire reputation and making all of the little kids think that vampires are sparkling pansys instead of the blood-sucking bada**es we all know they are.
