There is a longstanding debate by celebs, fans and authors alike on which is better? The Harry Potter Series, or the Twilight Saga? This book I have decided to right is a collection of reasons why the Harry Potter Series is better than Twilight. Whi...
Quick A/N: Yes, I've been neglecting this for a while, but tbh, my stories don't get tons of reads so I honestly don't see the problem. However I've had a few DM's for some of the readers I do have, who have asked me to update. So thankyou so much to all you amazing guys who encouraged me to update this, this one's for you!
Let me start off by saying that Stephanie Meyer is pretty much an incoherent writer who tries to hard to create a story that she thinks can relate to teenagers. However, while attempting to do so, she leaves several plot holes, and uses unfactual information. While I am trying to sound as objective as possible, some parts of the storyline make absolutely no sense whatsoever and are just plain dumb.
To start off, she has ruined the reputation of vampires when she turns them into something akin to sparkling faries. Going from most stories, mythology, folklore, ledgends, hell even present day movies and TV shows, vampires do not sparkle in the sunlight, they die.
While they may have heightened senses, reflexes, instincts ect. Because technically they are nore primitive then human beings, they do not have super powers, they drink blood. Which brings me to my next point.
There is no such thing as vegetarian vampires. Technically they shouldn't be able to eat at all, they are dead this would mean that their organs are also and therefore should not even be able to properly digest the food that they intake. Not only this, but they are incapable of emotion, they are dead. Our emotions are essentially chemicals released from our brains into our bodies as a response to stimuli, they can feel no empathy for what it is they kill, and they have no other motivation then to kill humans.
In the first movie of the saga, Edward eats a slice of Bella's pizza. There is two reasons for this not being possible. The first is that there is garlic on this pizza, and the second issue being with digestion, as per mentioned previously.
It is because they are dead, that Esmee should not even be there. Due to the fact he is dead, Edward, biologically should not even been able to forcinate with Bella. Not only this, but semen is living, therefore it is not possible that hybrid vampire/human babies exist. Even if they did, they would feast on blood, but die at an adult's age. Not feast on blood and then stop growing after reaching a certain age.
This movie was highly inappropriate, Edward being dead, intimacy with Bella can be seen as necrophilia, not only this, but technically she was being strung along. She had know way of knowing that she would end up a vampire, and therefore she would have lived out the rest of her natural life and then died while Edward "lived" on.
My final arguments, deal with the portrayl of werewolves.
Firstly, they should not be able to turn at will, this is meant to occur on a full moon, during the night.
Secondly, they are meant to not retain their human concious, they typically turn into savage, and more often then not, blood- thirsty wild creatures. Even if human concious was retained, they should not be able to communicate with one another via mindlink.
My third and final point regarding werewolves, is that, while a creature, they, unlike vampires, are living beings. They cannot freeze their own age so they may wait for a two year old girl to be old enough to date.
This leads me to conclude, that vampires such as The Count from Seasame Street could be seen as more of a vampire then Edward could be.
Another A/N: So this is the end of another chapter. For most of it I attempted to be more objective then what I usually am, as this helps me make more of a good argument. One of said readers earlier mentioned, said that while it's obvious I hate Twilight, I know my stuff. Yes by saying this I am borrowing a quote of the internet, but 'I must know thy enemy to properly kill them.' Finally, I would like to make the disclaimer that, while some information used here is my own, I also found a substantial amount off the interntet. Thank you to those who take the time to read, comment, vote, and DM me in regards to my writing and ideas for chapters, it means the world.
