+324 Some myths are so stupid. Vampires, for example. I mean, stabbing ANYONE throught the heart with a stake is going to kill them, amirite?

..turn them into ash.

That's the biggest problem with vampires? Not them being immortal or being able to turn into a bat?

The point of that is that it's one of the ONLY ways to kill a vampire.

In Supernatural you decapitate them.

Or, you know, sunlight, silver bullet, fire, dismemberment (I think there's a combination in Twilight, but i'm not sure.)

Pretty sure silver bullet are for werewolves.

What's that plant...wolfsbane?

What's the difference between that and monkshood?

Wolfsbane was not used in Harry potter to kill werewolves, but to instead make the humans free of becoming them while they take it.

Silver bullets are magic killers for eveything.

Except for vampires. The person below me lists of the only ways to kill them.

Actually there are some shows that have vampires vulnerable to silver bullets. I was making a point that these ways work on human to. Bullet material doesn't matter to us.

Well those are shows. The original vampyre myth doesn't include dying from bullets...unless they're wooden.

1. sunlight, 2. stabbing through the heart, 3. fire, 4. dismemberment. If there are only four ways to kill a vampire, I'd say that's way more invincible than a human. Old age, suffocation, starvation, drowning, electrocution, blood loss, heart failure, cancer, disease . . . none of those apply in most vampire myths.

Yeah humans can pretty much die from those too.

except sunlight... unless it's in abundance.

I knew someone with a "Ways to kill a vampire" t-shirt, which had like 16 ways on it.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Or sun. Or starvation. Or burning them.

Myths don't need to be logical. They just are what they are.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That doesn't make it stupid.
