Obnoxious scene kids would ruin that. And yes, I'm fully aware that obnoxious scene kids is redundant.

Yes, it would be cool. The only reason people don't want it is because of Twilight. Twilight shouldn't even be considered a vampire movie. Because it's not.

Why not?

Edward doesn't burn in the sun, he sparkles. So he's not a vampire. Also because the whole movie is just an insult to vampires. I'm sure the book is better, but still, it doesn't deserve all the attention it gets.

So you've met some real vampires and therefore can make an impartial judgment on what a vampire is like?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Dude, they aren't vampires. You just CAN'T tell make a vampire's most famous weakness and throw it all away. The fact that they burn in the sun practically makes them a vampire. I mean sure they stopped turning into bats or whatever, but there was never any proof that they couldn't do that.

Twilight is not the first vampire story to have them NOT burn in the sun... It's not a new thought. It's a new reason for them not burning and a new reason for the "myth" that they burn in the sun. But not new. Also, vampires can be whatever you make them because they don't exist. There are thousands of vampire stories. It is hardly a new idea to suggest that they don't actually burn in the sun.

One of the things I actually liked about Twilight was that Meyer wasn't afraid to make something new and original, to break away from stetrotypes on myth. I also really liked 30 Days of Night for the same reason, originality. The argument that the Twilight vampires aren't what real vampires are like has been made countless times and it makes no sense. Also, I don't think a vampire that is near impossible to kill is an insult to anything. Meyer's vampires can't even be killed by humans, something few vampire myths have (though most are deadly and near impossible to kill). Also they sparkle for a reason. I'm not a Twihard, so don't get on me about that. I hate the screaming fans as much as the next person. But it annoys me for sone reason when people make this argument. I also like the Vampire Diaries, House of Dark Shadows, The Vampire Chronicles, House of Night, and many other vampire books/movies (in case you think I'm just a team Edward loser or something, I'm actually just a vam...

I assumed, but in the movies, and books, they proclaim that they are vampires. But what if they didn't? Would you think vampire when he sparkles in the sun? No, the only thing you have to go on that fact is the fact that he has fangs, and maybe tiny things I'm missing. The entire movie he complains like a spoiled girl that he's a "dangerous monster". So instead of vampire, you would think more monster than anything. You know he's a deadly monster if he sparkles in the sun. The only thing you have to go on is very tiny things that monsters ALSO could have like fangs. The only reason people want to say they're vampires is because it says so in the books. So you're practically telling me that if it says so, it is. Vampires could be scared of dog toys and LOVE garlic and holy water. But if it says so it is right???

He doesn't have fangs... Anyway, most vampire stories are different and you only truly know what they are when it's revealed (unless they're classic). I picture them as more insect-like. Vampires can be anything. And yeah, they are vampires because the book says so. Vampires are NOT real, they are what we make them. I could make a story about a boy who likes bunnies and say he's a vampire. It's true no matter what you say because that's my story. Fictional creatures are what the author makes them. Same with werewolves, fairies, and whatever other MYTHICAL creature you can think of. Also, Twilight is not the first vampire story to say that vampires aren't affected by garlic, holy water, crosses, etc. You're talking about the image of the classic vampire, which is not the model for all vampire stories. Look at 30 Days of Night, they are NOT classic vampires at all, but I really liked the interpretation of vampires that movie contained.

You do realize that your argument is unbelievably weak right?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

How? You're saying that there is one true way that a fictional character can be. That's weak. Fictional characters are what we make them. Most vampire stories differ in several ways, I don't personally know of any two vampire stories by different authors that have the exact same type of vampire. Also, if you're resorting to insults instead of coming back with an argument, you've lost.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

No, I'm just saying that instead of making points that my argument is wrong, you're accidentally enhancing my argument with things like, "He doesn't have fangs..." or having saying "Vampires can be anything." then going about saying that vampires have a constant truth about drinking blood. No, they can't be anything. It's a vampire, it's in the freaking dictionary. There's a difference between editing a previously made mythical creature, and creating something completely different and slapping the name right onto it. And when did I ever go to insults? I never did insult you, I said your argument is weak. I didn't insult your intelligence, I didn't say that all of your siblings are hermaphrodites, all I did was say that your argument was weak. So if you think that that was an insult, than you could be possibly offended, so you're obviously getting mad while I'm sitting here trying to explain to you what a vampire is.

The dictionary definition is sooo broad and not what you said a vampire is at all. I said the one "truth" is that they suck blood and that even that isn't constant. The reason the definitions are so broad is because they are fictional characters that writers have developed and changed for centuries. Yes, vampires can be whatever you want them to be because they are a created creature. They do not exist and therefore can be whatever one chooses to make them. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/vampire says "a preternatural being, *commonly believed* to be a reanimated corpse, that is *said to* suck the blood of sleeping persons at night." This is a vague definition and does not say this is what a vampire is. It says what it is believed to be and said to be. Vampires are myth and legend and we are free to interpret and change them as we wish. That's what writing and story-making is about, creating and changing things and adding originality.

Whether you like the Twilight vampires or not is irrelevant, you can't argue that they are not vampires because you didn't create them. Meyer did and they are vampires. The Twilight version of vampires is not my favourite (I like the Vampire Chronicles vampires most I think). But you're arguing that vampires are defined by a specific set of rules which is simply not true. At all.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Also, the only constant "truth" in the vampire myth is that vampires drink blood (and even that isn't constant, as there are vampire stories where they actually don't drink blood). The Twilight vampires drink blood, they're very strong, fast and avoid sunlight. Please show me where in the world it says what exactly a vampire is and where it says that every vampire story must pertain to this model.

"Please show me where in the world it says what exactly a vampire." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/vampire http://www.dummies.com/store/product/Vampire-The-Requiem-For-Dummies.productCd-0470037458.html http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0013442/ "Please show me where in the world it says what exactly a vampire is and where it says that every vampire story must pertain to this model." The truth is, it doesn't. But like I said before, there's a difference between editing something and creating something completely different and slapping the name onto it. Your probably gonna say that they drink blood, which they do. But that's not enough to prove that they are vampires, lots of mythical creatures do.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

The Twilight vampires are not something "completely different with a name slapped onto it," as you seem to suggest. The only new original bit of vampire lore she developed for them was that they sparkle, which even then ties into the fact that they avoid the sun. Everything else has been said before by someone as being a characteristic of vampires. The strength, speed, blood drinking, not having fangs, not being affected by garlic or holy water or crosses. The only new thing is the sparkly bit, and I think it's nice to see something a little different (as I've said before, when it comes to vampire lore, I like originality [though I also like classics as well]).

By the way "Create the vampire of your dreams (or nightmares), choose attributes, skills, and advantages, understand the characteristics of each clan, enter the World of Darkness -- and throw away the garlic." from http://www.dummies.com/store/product/Vampire-The-Requiem-For-Dummies.productCd-0470037458.html which you posted, which only supports what I'm saying.
