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.
Dear Melissa Rosenberg, Bill Condon, Stephenie Meyer or whoever’s idea this was: vampire venom is highly flammable as we’ve seen in previous movies and *this one* when they burst into flame when thrown into/set on fire. This doesn’t make any damn sense:
This is something that has always bugged me about this story. The Cullens are always worried about people finding out they’re vampires, so you’d think they’d try to blend in. But they don’t.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen is a 23-year-old doctor who has adopted 5 extremely attractive teenagers, 4 of whom are widely known to be dating one another, and they all live together in a secluded mansion in the middle of the forest. In the real world, people would think this guy is some sort of pervert and this family would be investigated for incest by child protective services.
The Cullen kids wear only the best designer and couture clothing and drive expensive luxury cars to school in a small town where 20% of the population lives below the poverty line. A small town doctor’s salary would not maintain the extravagant billionaire lifestyle they seem to live, and this would raise the suspicions of authorities. Dr. Cullen would be investigated for insurance fraud, organ harvesting or being a drug lord secretly selling painkillers on the black market.
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.
kilolo-chung-deactivated2012101 asked: So i just read your inappropriate convo about edward n bellas sex n i was wondering Have you ever wondered if he could even go down on her in the first place? Isn't there venom in his mouth that would make that impossible? An furthermore, even vampire's eyes have venom on them, so shouldn't their sperm be venemous? Wouldn't it have burned like acid? So yeah, have u ever thought about that?
There’s venom in his jizz and saliva, it has to enter a person’s bloodstream. Bella should have become a vampire when Edward popped her cherry. Actually, she should have become a vampire when Edward sucked James’ venom from her wrist in the first movie. I didn’t see him use a straw. Stephenie Meyer is an inconsistent writer and her books are full of gaping plotholes.
EDWARD, Y U NO SPARKLE?
Edward went to Jacksonville, Florida with Bella. We never see him sparkle, not once. Yes he is indoors, but is clearly sitting in the sunlight.
Edward also went to Brazil - twice. We never see him sparkle there, either. To be fair the first time we see him in Brazil it is a night shot in New Moon. But still, what an odd choice of retreat for a guy whose biggest fear is being seen in the sunlight. No sparkling in Breaking Dawn, either.
My theory is that Edward’s sparkles are somehow tuned into the Seattle Space Needle and if he gets outside of a certain radius they stop working.
The Volturi will kill you if you kill conspicuously
Of course there’s nothing at all conspicuous about a group of 30 foreign tourists entering a Medieval Italian dungeon and never coming out alive.
see I’m not the only one who sees a problem with this part of the story
