Does anybody else hate the Twilight series?

I happen to be a Twilight fan, a sane one I must add.

However, I did see things that either didn't make sense or I just completely detested, and here they are;

1. Vampires in Twilight sparkle. Over time I've gotten a little used to this, but....it does sort of take away from the vampire lore. That I must say..
2. The obsessive Twilight fans, because they can take their fanship a bit overboard. I also dislike it when they don't accept others' different opinions on Edward, Jacob, or the series in general.
3. The obessive haters, because they too act immaturely and show reckless behavior just like the obsessive fans do. I've lost count for how many arguments I've seen between an obsessed fan and an obsessed hater....with the hater often starting the fights. (To let people know, I am not referring to respectful debates on Twilight, I'm talking about..."Bitch, you don't like twilight!" "Twihards are retards!" "Edward's a sparkly gay vampire" You know. The usual).
4. The fact that two werewolves, Jacob and Quil imprinted on very young children; a 3-year-old little girl and a newborn child. Imprinting in Twilight means a werewolf finds his soulmate in a person, and this is usually on romantical terms. Jacob says that he and Quil feel no romantic feelings towards Claire and Renesmee (the children), and for that present time this may be true. But if imprinting refers to soul mates the majority of the time and soul mates often include romantic love, how can one honestly be convinced that it will stay like this?
5. How Stephenie Meyer portrayed (and still treated) her human characters and evil vampires. The Cullens are described as being beautiful beyond words. However, James, the antagonist in Twilight, is described as being quite average-looking for a vampire because he was supposedly ugly when a human. Victoria wasn't necessarily called unattractive, but her beauty was never focused on as much as the Cullens' pulchritude were. As for the humans such as Eric, Angela, Lauren, and Jessica? They were clearly interesting people in the series, but they were only mentioned in a few short parts of all the books, especially Breaking Dawn. What we learned about them was that Jessica was pretty much almost your typical high school bitch, Angela had two siblings that were twins, Ben likes action films, Mike is determined when it comes to love, and that's pretty much it. I would like it if we learned more. Mainly a background story for Lauren, how about more reasons other than a crush for immediately disliking someone so intensely?
6. The strong love between Edward and Bella. Now, I do not mean to sound offensive to those who have experienced true love or, well, anyone in general. So this is the best way I can discuss this. The way Bella reacted when Edward and the Cullens left in New Moon was...*sigh* ok, I'm not trying to sound cold when I say this but it was ridiculous. How can a person possibly behave like that after his/her partner leaves them? Maybe

4 THE LOVE OF MY ONLY GOD! All of you hate Twilight!? Thank God, I decided to do a Fanpop! I was looking 4 people like you! I hate Twilight so much that if I had Edward at front of me,I'll take his head off! I'm not violent, I just will do that! Anyway...I think that The Twilight series disapoint Dracula! I mean common! They have 2 take the head off burn it and other things! I preffer True Bood,or Buffy or Van Helsing or the Best... Dracula(Gary Oldman). I think I wrote a lot. Anyeay my friends try 2 convense me 2 become a Twilight fan! But,Damn! I hate Twilight!

I HATE THE TWILIGHT SERIES 2 !

There are so many reasons why i dont like the Twilight series, i dont agree that the relationship between Bella/Edward is very positive true love (i believe its more like that between her and jacob) i find edward to be very controlling, absuive boyfriend.

Vampires just DONT sparkle!!
Bella's reactions to when Edward leaves her..i mean who acts like that i mean seriously? get over it already! She used to be more of a lively chick before she fell head over hells in a total zombie way! Even Alice has more depth than Bella!

I think S.M should have waited and worked on the series alittle bit more by creating more indepth characters than what we have read so far.

I wouldn't say I hate it per se. I just dislike it. For the reasons you noted and more;
-its so poorly written
-she's so mean to the only decent character, Jacob
-She didn't research anything
-She ignores obvious impossibilities to make her vampires more human
-SM is stupid, quite simply stupid, she's deluded and says idiotic stuff, and doesn't even to come up wit hthe simplest expilinations for her plots and says its "our" problem not hers

there are more but I'm not gunna list it all

HELL YES I HATE IT! vampires don't fing sparkle!!! and they have fangs for heavens sake!! and also, the "love" crap in it makes me want to vomit! it's so mushy and fluffy and bleach! in real life, i think it's important that two people can argue once in a while and be OK with a little time away from each other. and warm fuzzy moments can be good, if it's kept at a bare minimum, because hunger is the best sauce. Another thing that bugs the shit out of me is girls who are all over-dramatic because they think their boyfriend should act like edward and then when they don't, they say like, "oh he's not treating me well enough!" blah blah blah. And the books sound like they were written by an 8 year old. SM said herself that they had no meaning behind them, they were written "just for entertainment", which proves they are just pages of shit!

I've read a lot of old ancient tales where vampires were supposedly stunning.
Anyways, nah, you're not the only one, I hate it too. For some reason I used to be obsessed. There was something wrong with me, I swear.

WELL LETS SEE..
1.If u are a guy then Edward is most likely way way better lookin than you...
2.Your granmother prolbly could not get in to it because there is something wrong with your family..
3.Your name prolbly runis that name..
And Last..
4.GET A LIFE...Im guessing you have no life with out Twilight...
Your welcome for showing you why you have no life...and all the other people who hate Twilight..

OH and sorry for the people who just don't think it is an opinion...=)

you know what its ok i don't hate or im not mad at you because its your opinion, but sometimes its best to keep your opinons to your self.(and im saying this in a nice way).because you know all those twilight fans will stand up for what they like.again not making any harm.

yes i hate it!!!!! every you said i agree with
it's lame and destoyed the ttle vampires if there are vampire's out there i bet they want to kill stephenie meyer for making them look like sissys

Yes, I hate it too.
And these aren't the only reasons why I hate it.
* Vampires are NOT supposed to sparkle!!!
* Most of the characters have no depth whatsoever.
and these are not the only flaws...

You know, maybe you are interested in joining C.A.T. spot. ;)

Yes, I hate it too.

Vampires don't sparkle!

Hate it!

I don't hate it. It's a nice teens book, with a different type of the usual Vamps that we all know.
Even if you don't like it, there is no reason to waste hate like that.
I do agree that people are make a fuss out of nothing, but that's no reason to hate it.
The name Edward will always be great, no matter what.

yea i hate! :-&

hate it. uber-emotional characters with little to drive them.

*sparkly vampires

I'm ! I hate this. :)

i dont hate it i just don't care about it as much. if u have seen some of the annoying twilight fans at comic con the past years like I have u would know what I mean.I'm cured from my twilight phase.
And sparkly vampires don't sound like vampires one bit. And I've realized how whiney as hell Bella is.

I LOVE TWILIGHT!!!!!(",)...i started like (well kinda)vampires since i read twilight..

Exactly,I HATE it!I don't even think Edward is good looking!

i hate it also
some of the parts didn't even make sense

Noo the books are great there different, the movie sucked, and i don't know what you read or watch but vampires are always described as beautiful.

I used to like it but tha was years ago, when hardly anyone heard of it but now I really don't like it. It's way too over-rated.

:(

I hate it but I just reliased why the vampires sparkle it was suppossed to be written for 9-12-year-olds, I'm eleven apparently I know more about vampires than Stephen Meyer, They should still burn!! and where are the freaking fangs?! and it gets to boring after awile, Its to descriptive, theres nothing happening! And one book is just about the size of a month.And Belle falles in love with Edward in one week? Honestly go on quizilla to read a REAL love story
if you don't like my opion, I don't care there are so many haters on the internet! it makes kinda happy, what are Obsefive(I can't spell) Twilight fans like? I don't mean to affend anyone Ok?

i love twilight but im not obsessed. the movie was horrible and i hate that when someone thinks of edward they envision rob pattinson. and im totally getting sick of hearing about it every five seconds. get a life and find a new book to read theres millions of them.

No, I rather liked it. There were some parts in the book that I didn't really care for (like how Bella overreacted when Edward left), but overall I thought it was a good read.

I don't completly hate the Twilight series, because there is one group that does stay true to how Vampires are sopost to be and that is The Volturi. Anyone who knows me knows I am Team Volturi all the way and what pisses me off about the seires is the fact that S.Meyer made this group of very interesting characters, but just tossed them in the back round like a horrible after thought and down played them all horribly. Nobody even really likes them and Why? Because they tried to kill Bella and Renesmee. I don't know,but that, to me, sounds like a good idea. Kill off annoying Bella and a damn demon spawn that's not even sopost to logically exist. They should be given brownie points for that, but instead they're villianized and thrown out like yesterday's trash. Jasper and Rose are two other characters that are also very interesting, but just like The Volturi, they to are tossed in the back round. We barely hear anything from Jasper and Rose, is also seen as a villian because she doesn't like Bella. You know what? In real life, people don't like whiney, clingy girls who freak out whenever the guy they're obssessed with walks more then two steps away from them. I don't like Bella or Edward, so I guess that makes me a villian to. There really are no new idea's in this story, the only thing that's really orginal in this series is the fact that the vampires sparkle...Are you freakin' kidding me?! Dude, if you sparkle, you're either a fairy or a gay guy that likes to play with body glitter. Anne Rice got her vampires right, but this chick screwed up on so many levels. If she really wanted to create an epic love story with vampires and werewolves, then she should have taken some notes from Underworld. There was love, action, and even hybrids, but it was something fun to watch and get involved in and unlike Bella, these women could actually fight for themselves instead of always needing a MAN to help them. Talk about setting women back 200 years.

OMG I hate so much that thing!!
Twilight is ruining the image of vampires x/

I rue the day SMeyer decided to taint the name of vampires with those sparklepixies.

i cant say i like it cause that would be lying .....i cant say i hate it cause that would be lying .....i am in between hate the fame the movie has gotten but i liked the book ...now i hate it because i go to a convent and all the girls and i mean all of them are crazy about it soo i decided to well hate it ...i know i kinda dont make sense but what the hell

I don't necessarily hate it, but I do despise all of the extra zealous hype around it.

I think it is nice to have a change in how vampires are seen, and know that the reason for this, is for the tween population. (no gory blood, sex, fangs to scare, but sparkles to entice and uncontrollable hunger to halt premaritial sex) Not saying I like or agree with it. I'd rather my vamps with fangs and sans pixie sparkles.

I think it is a good book for teens, but I really hope that this will make fans also turn to other books, particularly, Bram Stoker's Dracula or really, link especially classics.

We don't sparkle either. Vampires, myself included, are extremely fair skinned. If we were to go into the sun, we wouldn't just sparkle, we burst completely into flame, and then be nothing but dust and ash.

well i agree with everything you said but number 2 Vampires looking extremely attractive makes sense i think anne rice was the first to come up with extremely attractive vampires it helps them with their predator insticts

Yez! I LOATH it soooo much! sorry, but c'mon guyz, really? Diamonds in the sun?! Lol me and my friends ,ake fun of it alllll the time XD I love it whem ppl make thos funny vidoes on youtube about it (obviously making fun of it) Hahaha XD

The book? Waz decent...and the movie ruined EVERYTHNG. And those die hard fanz? TAKE A CHILL PILL, ITS JUST A MOVIE. Not ven a good one! Not as good az Avatar X)

why cant people jsut keep it to themselves. like you know, if you dont like something, just keep to yourself, cause something you might say about it might offend people.just cause you dont like somthing doesnt mean you dont have the right to say bad stuff about it.

I don't hate the series personally, but the whole fanatics has driven me to say that I hate it! I mean, what's the big deal? It's fanfic! When do vampires fall in love with someone who they've known for five seconds (especially when they live for ever) just because they smell good? The characters are unconvincing and shallow and the plot is...wait a minute, there is no plot! sorry about that. Anyway, Twilight disgraces the name of vampire! They don't deserve to be vampires-they are Myer-pires! FYI: I saw an Edward Barbie doll made of sparkle powder-I've never felt so embarressed to be a vampire fan in my life!

yes, i effing hate it

Not me (kaylan)because i am a really great fan of the twilight series and i read all their books and watched two of their movies?

i dont HATE twilight but i has sorta descraced vampires.there are way better 4 ex.
vampire academy. it teaches you that life isnt perfect yet it still has that forbidden love quality

Me! It failed its attempt to portray vampires in a new light. Sure, it had some similarities to real vampires (pale and drinking blood), but it completely ignored the other traits that molded the mystical creatures that people fear today (like burning in sunlight, aversion to crosses, etc.).

Throughout the centuries, the term vampire (or strigoi)has been defined as an undead corpse that feeds on the blood of the living, so they are basically blood sucking zombies, bodies without souls. I've read mythology all my life, so I've always had a certain disdain for pop cultures portrayal of the ancient being, but twilight's was the worst.
And i have some questions, why would a vampire that has lived for centuries go to a high school and date a 17 year old? That should count as pedophilia.

I like the Twilight books, but I believe the films destroyed what bit of liking the books got. I am in the middle of both love and hate, because I fell in love with the novels, but I hate how overrated and famous it has gotten. I, for one, think the sparkling bit killed the idea of a scary vampire.

They may look pretty, but give them so dignity, please. I can see the not having fangs part, though. Their teeth were described as being so strong that they wouldn't need fangs to bite. And that they're hard and ice cold, and basically indestructible, interested me. I thought they were very strong that even on cloudy days they could go outside.

But the sparkling? Why? I think Twilight is a beautiful love story, but lacks on vampire action. It would have been nice to see more blood in them. Bella needs to be stronger. After her depression after Edward leaving was strange. Then she just decides to use her best friend. Breaks his heart, but yet it breaks hers, too.

She feels she is meant to be with Edward, but, maybe at the same time she's meant to be with Jacob? Or none? I can see where Bella does make plenty of life-risking tasks: ( The ballet studio for her mother in Twilight, saving Edward from death in New Moon, saving Seth Clearwater's life in Eclipse, the fight for her child's life in Breaking Dawn --- and even her own life in Breaking Dawn.)

Bella appears to be quite mature, too. She went to a place (Forks) she didn't want to go to for her mother's happiness, so Renee could be with Phil only. And caring for her father Charlie, too. Each person, I believe has an interesting story, but it is just barely looked in to.

I wish the Volturi played a much bigger role in the Saga. Considering they are like vampire royalty. The Twilight Saga could have been great in itself if it was more carefully done.

I do agree that the fuss and "endless love" over Twilight is a mess!
