This is one of the things that bothered me about Breaking Dawn- when the vampire powers stopped making any sense. Edward being able to read minds makes sense, you can understand how that would be a useful power for a vampire. Same thing with Jasper controlling emotions. That’s all very vampy stuff. Kate’s ability to shoot lightning out of her hands (or all over her body) makes no sense. In what situation would that possibly be useful? It’s not like she’d need to use that power on humans ever and we’ve already seen in ‘Eclipse’ how easy it is for vampires to defeat other vampires in battle- they run at them real fast & rip their limbs & heads off.
Anonymous Confession #706: “My favorite moment in BD (the book) was when Leah bitched out Bella and made her cry. She had it coming for four books.”
Anonymous Confession #679: “Confession: Breaking Dawn tainted the entire series for me. Twilight started out as a fun little romance novel which turned completely uncomfortable in Breaking Dawn. I lost a lot of respect for Stephenie Meyer because I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of creepy-assed grown woman thinks that having a 17 year old fall in love with a baby is a great plot twist and an epic romance?”
In an effort to get back to the original purpose of this blog, please send in some funny, unusual or dirty confessions/secrets about The Twilight Saga. I’d prefer confessions/secrets about the books/movies/characters but I’ll also accept ones about cast members. Anons are welcome obviously. Put your confessions in the ask box not the submit box. :)
What is Bella going to do with her ‘life’ now that she’s a vampire? She never appeared to have any sort of aspirations in life as a human. She was interested in science I guess, but you never got a sense that she would pursue a career. Once she met Edward she was just all-consumed with being with him, becoming a vampire and freeloading off of Carlisle’s billions for eternity like the rest of the Cullen clan. So now that she has eternal life and everything she could ever want, what do you think she’s going to do with eternity?
I hate how in Breaking Dawn the Cullens gather all these vampires to protect Renesmee but the vampires are also motivated by revolution- they’re ready to basically overthrow the corrupt rule of the Volturi in battle once and for all. But then as soon as Aro decides Renesmee isn’t a threat, they just throw all the rebellion stuff away and say “Oh, OK, Renesmee is safe, suddenly we don’t mind existing under a corrupt fascist mass murdering dictatorship for eternity.”
The trailer for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 2” has hit the web. Jeremy gives you his thoughts on the movie that will be forgotten by December 2012. It’s almost over friends! We’re almost Twilight free!!!!!!
It never made sense to me that the Quileutes would be OK with all these human blood drinking vampires suddenly coming into the area. This is poorly explained away in the book by saying they borrow the Cullen family’s cars to go elsewhere to hunt (why bother with cars when they can run faster?), but the Wolfpack is dedicated to protecting human life in general, not just their tribe or their Rez land. Jacob says in New Moon they’re protecting the ‘palefaces’ as well.
Protecting human life is the reason the shapeshifters exist, it’s a fundamental part of their culture that these sort of human blood drinking vampires are their enemies. So why is it acceptable now, just because Renesmee is in danger and Jacob imprinted on her? The majority of the visiting vampires hunt humans, there’s more than a dozen of them. They are living there for a month, going out of state or maybe just to another city to kill god knows how many innocent people (they don’t have Edward’s mind reading ability), and it’s OK with the Wolfpack because they’re there to protect Renesmee and Renesmee is Jacob’s imprint so she’s all that matters. I guess Renesmee has supplanted Bella as the center of the universe.
tl;dr version: Breaking Dawn is a really stupid book that makes no fucking sense.
