It seems that nowadays when people mention the words ‘Twilight’, ‘Edward’ au ‘Stephenie Meyer’ a huge debate is formed. People are mgawanyiko, baidisha completely down the middle with their upendo au hate of the twilight saga, everything seen as either black au white. So here is an opinion from one of the few stuck within the grey area (like, dislike and don’t care either way). Rip this opinion to shreds, upendo it au hate it. Tell the world how much twilight rocks, sucks au takes the complete piss out of teenage romance. But please remember this is my opinion and seeing as this place is all about that, please have some respect for it.
I, personally, like the Twilight Saga. Yes, I alisema it, something which many will now be violently vomiting over au cheering about. I am only talking about the vitabu in this case; I could not care less for the sinema au Robert Pattinson. I am an original supporter of the novels, something which seems rare these days. However, that of course is another argument entirely. So, let’s discuss some of the negative maoni about the books. Hang on to your kiti, kiti cha kids... this may take a while.
1. Vampires don’t sparkle.
This is one of my favourite arguments to why the vitabu are complete rubbish. In a world where vegetarian vampire ducks and puppet Draculas that upendo to count numbers are widely accepted, the little quirk of sparkling in the sunlight has caused so much uproar. Yet, if Stephenie had stuck solely to the way most Wanyonya damu are viewed (fangs, burn in sunlight, allergic to garlic etc) she would have been accused of unoriginality and copying the master of horror, Bram Stoker. I admit, sparkling Wanyonya damu is hardly menacing, but remember this novel is not within the ‘horror’ genre. It is teenage romance. How many (young) teenagers truly would want a boyfriend with fangs and who could burn in the sunlight? Watering down this version of Wanyonya damu made Edward and the Cullens zaidi accessible, and allowed Bella the setting of meeting Edward at her school. It helped Stephenie set the scene for the perfect high school romance, something most teenage girls dream of. After all, at seventeen, where do wewe meet most of your boyfriends? Certainly not at night in a dark alley way.
2. The characters are too Mary-Sue
A lot of people maoni on the characters of the Twilight Saga being too perfect to be believable. My first answer to this is: this book is complete fantasy. It was completely dreamed up (literally) kwa an mwandishi for the enjoyment of not just herself, but now others. Here’s the thing about imagination, anything can happen. Pigs can fly, mbwa can talk, and people have superpowers. Wanyonya damu are immortal. Immortality means wewe cannot die, so guess what? None of the Cullens are killed off. Anyway, who honestly would enjoy having the main characters killed off? Even in Harry Potter (which I will get to later) the main character dies then is ‘magically’ brought to life again. They all have their personality flaws, even if wewe have to read closely to spot them. Edward is overprotective and a complete control freak. Bella is insecure and moody. Alice is so positive it can get annoying.
3. The mashabiki are crazy
I can’t argue with that statement. Some ‘Twi-Hards’ can go overboard. But, don’t stereotype all of the Twilight mashabiki because of a small majority. With something so maarufu and cult, it is bound to have mashabiki who take it too far and blur the lines between reality and fantasy. Just look at nyota Trek and nyota Wars. Yet, wewe wouldn’t say wewe hate nyota Trek because a few mashabiki are fluent in Cling-On. I am against any Twilight mashabiki that are abusive to get their own way with people who don’t like Twilight, au push Twilight onto haters. My advice to people who don’t like mashabiki like that? Don’t talk to them, don’t respond and wewe wouldn’t have to care what they think. A lot of mashabiki just upendo the world that Stephenie has provided for them, an escape from everyday life and a chance to be ‘Bella’. What’s the harm in that?
4. Stephenie has no original ideas
Granted, even Stephenie admits to getting most of her ideas and plot for Twilight from other novels and songs. For one sekunde however, think about the billions of novels written today, all with their own twist on the world. Think of the thousands of novels set in high school, and the hundreds that also include Supernatural creatures. What can honestly be classed as original, when people write novels with exactly the same settings with a slight difference? With what seems to be every avenue of the human imagination explored, old ideas will get recycled and changed. Any novel wewe read will probably have a sister with just a few differences that turn it into a completely different plot. wewe can’t judge a book on how original the idea, but zaidi on how the mwandishi makes that idea their own.
5. Harry Potter is better
I don’t even know why I am bothering to write about this, probably the most pointless argument against Twilight that I’ve ever heard. First off, comparing a novel about wizards to one about Wanyonya damu is probably as useful as comparing water with coke. Both novels are good in their own way, with completely different settings and plots. So why the hell does people feel the need to put them up against each other? The authors are completely different, with contrasting uandishi styles and no affiliation with each other whatsoever. Apart from their vitabu being made into movies, which seems a stupid reason to compare them, so this argument in my opinion is completely useless.
So, those are a couple of arguements against Twilight, and what I think about them. I could go on all siku about Twilight arguements for and against, but that would be boring and an awful lot to type up. I am not saying Twilight is for everyone, after all, what makes us unique is our ability to have a choice over what we like and dislike. I'm just giving wewe my opinion without biting your head off au uigizaji crazy. I personally enjoy Twilight, in moderation. Like any book, wewe should be able to put down the book and carry on with life as usual, even if wewe don't want to. I understand that some Twilight mashabiki are alot to handle, especially when wewe do not agree with thier veiws, but we aren't all like that.
