Vampires are cool and all, but I don't think I'd actually want to be one.

[vamp_knight21]

yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!

[Phantom Nero]

I'd love to be one, but none of this sparkley-godvampire s**t....

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

VAMPIRES DO NOT SPARKLE
THE ONLY SPARKLING A VAMPIRE DOES IS WHEN HE/SHE IS BURSTING INTO FLAME.

That is all.

Good day-moon to you.

[Haeilen]

guys,vampires are sooo cool,becouse,whats so fum in being a human,we just suffer,obey rules,and other goddammed things

I hope everyone realizes that the whole "sparklyness" of the vampires in twilight was an important part of the plot of the stories. She needed to make something up that would keep them out of the direct sunlight but not entirely out of the daytime so that bella and edward could actually meet in school. Otherwise, she would have had to use some other method entirely that only takes place at night (i.e. night school, an interest in astronomy for both edward and bella?, etc.). As you can see, even my examples of what would have had to occur are not quite as lame as a vampire that shines in the sunlight in order to attract their prey. It's simply a matter of plot and evolution.

Well I haven't seen it. Perhaps the reasoning is hiding so deep even it's forgotten itself.

SMeyer should have actually developed some practical reasoning or altered the point of meeting. What she did in the end was instead of finding her way around a giant boulder, she simply turned it into a bouncy ball. SMeyer took the easy route instead of attempting to work with what was already existing. I also strongly believe she WANTED her "Beautiful" vampires to all sparkly and altered reality to suit her whims. A good writer learns their limitations and works within it. A lazy writer just makes crap up because they fancy it.

Well that certainly would have made things much more interesting and believable and less just plain stupid. Besides her idea has a fatal flaw. She gave the impression that Forks was rainy and miserable but I'm sorry anyone with any remote sense of meteorology understands that unless you live in a place with NO sun ever, then there will be sunshine! What the hell do the Cullens do when school finishes, they need to get to their car but the sun is shining brightly on the carpark? It makes no comprehensible sense.

Even my dog could come up with something not so lame as sparklysparklepires. SMeyer was just being a stubborn beautifying lovey.

Like I said good writers work with their limitations. The plot is VERY weak because SMeyer never bothered. As for evolution. Well I could go all into how SMeyer's vampire sparkles are scientifically impossibly if you include all of her "vampires" other attributes but I can't be bothered. SMeyer doesn't knows or doesn't even bother to know about anything that would make her vampy's lose their sparkling.

First off vampire AREN'T scientifically possible and whats wrong with a christmas tree for a vampire? I mean it IS FANTASY it's supposed to be what you like not what it HAS to be and if you dont like it why bother wasting your time complaining about it?

[goodgirlgood]

I don't really know, but i guess it would be cool.

[AngelicMelody101]

Vampires are from myth but SMeyer's use of "science" to describe her vampires is so off base it's makes no sense whatsoever. If she just said they sparkle like magic then I wouldn't care as much. But she was the one who set the precedent of science use and failed in a very royal fashion at it.
As for the continued use of "IT'S FANTASY! SMEYER CAN MAKE EDWARD SQUIRT SKITTLES AS SPERM IF SHE WANTS!" Well unlike the unenlightened who say that, I actually take into fact that Vampires have an established mythology.
Fantasy does NOT mean I can create whatever the ******** I like and take some random monster's name and call it that.

Take David and Goliath from the Bible. If someone called Goliath a midget I would laugh in their face.
