''Twilight's like soccer. They run around for two hours, nobody scores, and its billion fans insist you just don't understand.''
BEST QUOTE EVER.
Obviously im not a fan of the Twilight series and anyone over the age of XXX-teen should be berated and ridiculed for liking something so blatantly ridiculous, especially if they hold that movie as a template for romance.
I think it was said best here, by Thomas Caldwell (writer):
''There's an incredible conservatism which, quite depressingly, has really caught on. You've got the pretty ineffectual woman at the centre of it all who has very little agency. She's torn between these two men who both have an innate desire to kill her, and suppressing that violence is meant to be romantic. It doesn't say much for women or men, that men are innately violent and women are drawn to that.''
Which to me, is pretty spot on. They want to kill her in some way and THATS your romance? I have this insane urge to destroy the entire planet, yet im still single.
HERES YOUR ROMANCE, LADIES!
Like it or hate it, its here to stay. It also give me good fodder to harass and annoy my coworkers that actually like that garbage.
