Twilight Series Question

After reading some of the picks and questions that have been posted lately....

do you something get the feeling that people are putting way to much emphases on the looks of the actors in the movies instead of the actual characters from the books? Dont get me wrong I love the movies but sometimes it does get alittle tiring that when a question is asked about one of the characters all you get are answers like "because they're so hot" or "they so fine because of their bodies".

I'm sure you already know my answer. lol

Yes. I do. The bottom line is: The actors are NOT the characters.

And, I may be in the minority on Fanpop, but alot of the characters are lost in the movie translations. I'm pretty sure I sound like a broken record, but the movie screenplays fail to show who Jacob really is and who Edward really is. Jacob is not always the nice, always-getting-screwed-over-kid. And Edward is not always the no-fun boyfriend. The characters we love from the books have not been translated very well to screen.

And that saddens me. One: Because that's how it all started. It started with a dream, and it started with love. It started with Bella and Edward. No hot guys, no abs, just who they were on the page. And now it's ruined by the media and the fangirls and society. And two: the movies/books are moneymakers. Not because of the story, which was how it's popularity originated, but it's because of the constant advertising of eye-candy and the ridiculous merchandise.

Twilight used to be loved. Not loved as in popular, but loved as in respected. The story was respected and the characters were respected. Now it's all about who has the best skin tone, or who has the most abs. It was never about that. Twilight has lost the soul it once had. And that's a shame. Maybe once all the movies are done, it will return that way. But it's sad that people make the judgments of who is the best based on who has the better body. Are people all that shallow? What about inner beauty? What about beauty lies in your heart? People don't think that way anymore because society twists and manipulates. Once again, it's a shame.

Same here. In the books, I'm pretty sure Edward and Jacob have hot bodies but I'm pretty sure they're talking about Rob and Taylor.

I think you're right....it would be nice that when a question is asked about either of the two, that people answer it according to their personality and character traits and not according to their abs. lol

seriously, half of the questions I see are "Do you think Edward/Jacob is hot?" and they're going by looks, not character.

yes, i agree. i mean there ACTORS, there not the actual character. im team edward but i like Taylor Lautner better then Robert Pattinson. and that shouldn't be weird cause Rob isn't ACTUALLY edward.

Actually, I was talking about this with my friend, and I realized something. (God Rob pleeze forgive me) Robert Pattinson doesn't really look as Bella describes Edward to be. It's just... kinda weird.
