Really? "people only hate on things because they're stupid or something." This is what you got out of my post? I was saying that hating something is cathartic, and boosts self-image.Father Time said:
Did Twilight really suck that much?

The short answer to the OP is Yes. Yes it did.
The long answers is YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...
I kid.
Actually, the long answer has to do with terrible narrative, butchering of the laws of grammar and syntax, a protagonist who was too stupid to live and her insane infatuation with a misogynistic asshat.
Proof of how awful the writing is, PURELY from a technical standpoint, can be found here. http://reasoningwithvampires.tumblr.com/
Took me FOREVER to remember the link, but totally worth it once I did.

No, she may not be my favorite pony but she's still a very well developed charac- oh, my bad. Wrong twilight.
I watched the movie, and value my sanity enough to not waste any more time on that franchise. If you like it, so be it, but I'm not going to put any more time into a franchise that I just don't like.
But I do think it recieves too much hate. If you like twilight, then you have a right to that opinion, and violating that right would be a misdeed on my part. I expect people to respect what I like, what gives me the right to act any different?

and that's the only reason someone could hate Twilight. It's not the boring, one-dimensional characters, the creepy stalker boyfriend, the unlikable female protagonist who spends the entire series of books toying with the emotions of two weak-minded men who are inexplicably obsessed with her, the plotholes, the self-righteous abstinence message, the creepy pedophilic undertones, Bella's "I need my man in order to validate my existence and be happy" attitude, or the blatant author insertion.spartan231490 said:
No. People hate it because they want to hate things.
Sparkling vampires in the sun........ no vampires fucking explode into flame when the suns on them.
This alone was enough to steer me away from it. Not to mention it was a chick service film.
Shoot me in the foot and call it a day. 29 Minutes in and I now want nothing to do with this day.

I'm not going to lie. I am by no means a massive fan of the franchise, but I don't necessarily hate it by any means. Twilight is a pop book series which disregards the main mythology associated with vampires and werewolves...but it isn't aimed at anyone who seriously desires anything from such historial lineage. It's made specifically for teenage girls (some boys even, who am I to judge?) and nothing besides that.
It's hard to dislike something for being popular and making money when that's the sole intention of its existence in the first place. Those who do are just fighting a loosing battle with no point. For what it's worth I'm glad some Native Americans of North Western heritage received some exposure. Lautner's of the ancestry as well. Not to mention we get some beautiful shots of the Washington area.
In the end, I hate to give one of those "it is what it is" answers, but overall...pop culture is just that: Appeal for the masses. Those who went to the movies, read the books, etc. would have by no means gone to an actual horror/fantasy tale involving the two seperate species of characters.

well, it was really shitty, but I don't hate it, I just avoid it
it's the twitards that I hate
you know, the Twilight equivalent of the Xbots and CoD-fucks
in other words, the shit-tier fans it has

I have never watched or read Twilight, and most of the reasons I dislike it are things I've heard in passing and checked with TVtropes. Link: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/Twilight
Also Jacksfilms's twilight mockup series. Several videos, which is why there's no link, and easily found on youtube by searching jacksfilms twilight.
Bella is the author's depiction of herself as a Mary Sue. The "stalking and cheating are okay" approach to love. Edward the 100 year old abusive teenager who is somehow the perfect man. The fact that it's considered romantic when it's more tragic, abusive or asinine.
I'm probably very uninformed, but I think I might wish to stay that way.

Read an Ann Rice novel, then filter that through the characters of American Dad. That is what Twilight is.
I honestly enjoyed the first movie with the cast commentary (not the movie itself, but with the cast commentating over it). They were very human sounding.
It was strange and unsettling.

Well, I read the entire series when recuperating from a major operation, and I'd have to say that they're average. It doesn't deserve the amount of hate it goes through, but it doesn't deserve the amount of attention it gets either. The characters are bland, the setting is ridiculous, and feels more like a teenage girls dream than an actual plot. But hey, it was good enough to soak up a good portion of time.
I didn't care for the first two movies. I didn't want to watch them but I let friends rope me into viewing them and my opinion didn't change. I really didn't like the second movie. Once you boil it down, the movie was about
After viewing the second movie I had a very humorous thought. That movie was based on content written by a self-proclaimed born again Christian. Very funny. As funny as a Scottish Korean (no offense to any actual persons of that ethnicity, just playing off of an old Starburst ad)
two people who attempted self mutilation and suicide because one missed the other and one thought the other was dead.

I have actually listened to a movie commentary while I was stoned (admittedly stoned out of my mind), and it was pretty crazy.
I have an issue with any book that I sit down and read for an hour and suddenly realize I have no idea what this ***** looks like. She went on for chapters about frekin Edward and I knew how he looked to head to toe with some poorly designed images of his genital area. Everyone else in the book was a stick figure. It's poorly written in my opinion and as a huge fan of vampires that raped, murdered, and destroyed the living this was not my kind of book/vampire. Also the whole sparkling thing like a lot of people pissed me off. Finally, Belle was the most useless heroine I've ever had the misfortune of reading about. You know those escort missions where you have to protect an AI to a certain place. You also know about the stupid AI's who seem to run into a horde of the enemy and they're just corn holed before you can do anything. That's the basic plot of the story. Belle does something stupid and Edward has to drop everything to come drag her ass out of Browser's castle.
It disturbs me if that makes sense. It's about a girl that falls in love with a vampire that stalks her. He dismantles her cars so she can't see her best friend who later "marks" her newborn daughter. (Meaning that the baby is his soulmate.) I just can't get behind it but then again I don't go around bashing it.
