My GOD, you're stupid. All this "vampire lore" you're talking about, and how Meyers "ruined" it. Well, guess what idiot? Vampires aren't real. You know what that means? That means that all this "lore" is exactly that: lore. A long time ago, people made up all this shit, and it's changed a lot over the years. So why the hell can't Meyers reinvent it? Put a new twist on it? It's not like people are going around saying that everything "established" up to this point is false and the Twilight books are the only real facts about vampires. People like the books because they're entertaining! And she didn't write them for you, or the rest of the snobs out there. So why don't you just shut the fuck up, ok?

If Meyers had advertised it as anything else, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Don't call it a twist; there's nothing vampire like about it except for blood lust, and that makes it even worse. I mean, don't demons (for lack of a better term) who change others and give new, un-vampire-like powers to others through biting make more sense than overpowered emotional "vampires" that fucking SPARKLE?
Hell, she could've called them fairies and it would have made more sense! XD

You don't want to see my ranting? Well, too bad.
Bitch, what the hell is your problem? I didn't say anyone was stupid for liking it. I didn't say that it was a terrible book, a waste of time, or a piece of s**t like you. I spoke the truth: those are not effing vampires. I gave a nice, calm opinion. I even tried to joke about it! But NOO! Just because something made the mistake of crawling up your hateful ass, you decide to flip out because some one had an opinion other than your own. Do you really think your actions are justified here?Β

I like vampires but that's not why I hate it I hate it because what's the point to it? It makes no sense at all.

I agree and disagree. There's many different variants of the vampire legends. Most tend to stick to a single common theme, with tweeks here and there. I have to agree about Meyer, though. She's destroyed vampires in general. She's used the books to play out her own perfect "boy meets girl" daydream. And hey, if she wants to do that, let her. It's her books. Taking it to this extreme is a bit overboard, though. "Twilight" has come to symbolize ALL vampires, and that's not gonna fly with me. -.-; I like your stamp. x.X;Β

Nice. but I will say I'm in general not a fan of the always chaotic evil trope (basically its a trope were a entire race, every member of that race is always and never not pure evil.) Need less to say it can have very unfortunate indications. It can work in some time but it borders black and white insanity so times. Its also worth mentioning that twilight vampire not as passive as you think. The Cullen's are pretty much the only vamps (or at least the only ones I can think of) that don't drink human blood (and murder there victims)( and the Cullen's are even then still ambiguously evil. They may not kill people but that have bad problem with other vamps killing people.) This even one Seen in New Moon (or at least in the movie) were a crowd of people (with children) are being lead by some of the voltaren and one of them says save some for me and you hear the people screaming (its actually kind of terrifying.) And it gets even worse with Edward who during the great depression rebelled against the Cullen's "thou shall not kill" rule and kill and tortured a large number people. Grated he pulled a Dexter and only killed people he thought were "bad" but to determined if they were "bad" he used is mind reading ability but he has a surprisingly week version of it were he can only read thought not emotions and intentions. So Edward became the thought police killing people for just thinking about doing something bad (and we all have thought something bad. Ironically he himself is also thinking as we as doing something bad and he does have murderous intent.) Even worse is that he (or at least at first) can't make up his mind if he wants to love Bella or kill her and drink her blood. Ambiguously evil to say the least. And if I'm not mistake he also piloted to kill different people just for spit.
However Twilight vamps still suck and Twilight still sucks.

You sir/madame may have a cookie!
One thing you missed was the fact that Edward got Bella pregnant... Vampires are dead, their reproductive systems would not work and so I'd like to know how Edward knocked Bella up. Does Meyer even explain the science behind it?
I must now go and read Dracula a second time.
I don't mind the whole romance thing as long as it's dark romance; like in Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampires series. They burn in the sunlight, sleep, cannot reproduce, don't crave sex, they drink human blood, they don't have superpowers and are described as monsters. One of the Vampires dates a human but he has shown his horrific side when he attacked her due to thirst.
Twilight goes down the cheesy, soppy root of romance which does not fit the Vampire lore in the slightest bit. She should have come up with her own name for the 'species' she created as they are most certainly not Vampires - far from it.
Sorry for ranting

Oh and the Morganville Vampires are allergic to silver (it's the easiest way of killing them) and when staked they are paralysed.

I agree with this. I hate Twilight, they obviously ruined the name of vampires! RUINED! And the only reason I love vampires now, four words: Hellsing and Vampire Knight.

30 days of night vampires are the REAL deal. All the vampires I've seen are the real ones but when I saw one of the twilight movies....I just face palmed. I knew they weren't doing the vampires right!

While I hate the "vampires" of Twilight, I hate vampire elitists even more. If someone wants to portray a vampire as "good" or "bad," or even dating humans, they have every right to do so.

If someone said you had to be a fictional vampire the Twilight ones appear to be the best bet because they are insanely hard to kill, no real weaknesses and can have SUPERPOWERS!!! Aside from the blood they really do not feel like vampires, since it is fiction people can give or take away whatever they wish, thinking about it now nothing about them really screams vampire. Appears to be a virus that enhances humans to a great degree and they require blood thus the vampire, take that away and no vampire would be left.
Now giant wolves are going to be awesome no matter what.

twilight was created for six year olds to feel hardcore because they read about sparkling vampires.
They're meant to be seductive immortal beings who have bloodlust and set fire when they are in the sun.
Not some sparkling fairies that seem to like being outside and having girlfriends with no use and no emotion.

I mean, if those Twilight-crazed teeny-boppers wanted to read about vampires, then they should read Dracula for a change. Because the "vampire" in Twilight doesn't even match the description of a REAL vampire. Vampires are supposed to be evil, not idealistic boyfriends. If he were a real vampire, then Edward would've sucked Bella's blood, not married her.

Indeed. Well, maybe a vampire x demon or something like that would work. I mean, there both hellish creatures. That's fucking better than a fucking human -.-' It's like making a human x zombie story. No one would do that. She just kills the awesomeness about vampires.

Actually, dæmons are nothing like vampires; a dæmon's very aura would overpower and probably harm a vampire due to the brightness.

I'm open to alot of different Vampires. I love vampires, always have. ever since I was little. like, Vampire knight, rosario+Vampire, Vladimir Tod, Darren Shan, Dracula, Hellsing, Van Hellsing, my sister the vampire. (can't remember the rest) but Twilight is NOT one of em. my sister and a friend tried to get me to watch it. it was crap. boring as hell. I like the old fashioned vamps. :3 and some new ones. but yeah, Twilight is crap. ._.

I could care less if you hate Twilight or not, and vampires can be written however the author wishes you do know that right? I prefer to write vampires the traditional way but make them my own vampire still. I blame the media for all the hate Twilight gets, since fans go crazy over the movies.
I don't give a crap if they sparkle or not, it's just a fictional creature XD I laugh at the sparkling sure but do you really need to hate all the fans for Twilight? Many of us are a pretty decent bunch actually, well the fans I hang out with.
I've read other things besides Twilight too, Harry Potter, Vampire Diary's, Blood and Chocolate, Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgearld (biography about the ship the Edmund Fitzgearld where all 29 crew member's lost their lives in a brutal storm), You Can Run, But You Can't Hide (Biography on Duane 'Dog' Chapman), Where Mercy is Shown, Mercy is Given (another biography on Duane 'Dog' Champan) The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns and many more.
I don't know why; but I always have to list other books I've read to Twilight haters so they don't think I'm unintelligent for liking the series. Yes I own all the books, yes I own all the movies, but they aren't my life.
I don't fangirl over Edward or Jacob, I may think Taylor Lautner is hott/cute but there are other celebs I love too.
Please don't genaralize (sorry if I spelt that wrong) all Twilight fans as crazy obsessed freaks, hater's can be just as bad too wanting to kill all Twilight fans and Stephenie Meyer is a bit much there.
