Neecha Rui I used to be a follower of Twilight.
Used to.
However, the staggering amount of commercialization, lack of creativity in anything beyond the first book (and even then I'm giving the thing some leway), and the hoardes of fanboys and fangirls proclaiming themselves to be Edward and Bella has really wanted to make me take a gun loaded with silver bullets to my werewolf-loving heart.
If anything, yes, the genre has been tapped out. Vampire love stories were great when they were new and...sparkly (I used it, yes I did,) with something no one had really read about before. However, I find that Twilight went beyond love story into relationship dependant/dementia.
I've seen it. Guys saying that they must be Edward to their girls. Girls saying that they want so badly to be his Bella. God damn! Now all I see where there once was a person with his/her own uniqueness are mindless drones with crazed posession in their eyes.
But perhaps this is what the tweens want. So be it. However, this age group has a bad habit of swarming to one idea one year and then leaving it for another. Pokemon as an example anyone? Harry Potter?
I will never watch the movie. From what I hear, the acting is horrid, the scenes are not well played out, and all in all it progresses into a Mary Sue-ish style of damsel-in-distress, only Robin Hood craves blood and sparkles in the sunshine.
All in all, if you really must read a love story, read a good one. If you want a vampire story, read a good one! There are plently other series and novella that far outrank the Twilight Saga in both style, dictation, drama, horror, and romance.
To those of you who remain fans: So be it. Perhaps one day you will really be taken for a ride with a story worth the glamour and fame Edward Cullen has.
I'm hoping you're keeping this geared towards the tweeny psycho fangirls out there. I am a fan (mostly of Twilight, not huge in the other 3), but I do know the difference between reality and fiction.
