"Today, the painting I worked on for three weeks was rejected from an art contest because the rules prohibit fanart. It wasn't fanart. They mistook it for Twilight fanart. FML"
Som fick svaret
"could be worse could have been mistaken for one of the following: LTOR, Star Trek, Lost, Star Wars..."
Av någon kallad "mercedeslove"
Detta fick det underbara svaret
"mercedeslove, are you seriously arguing that Twilight is better than Star Trek, Star Wars, Lost, and Lord of the Rings?
I'm not a fan of Lost; I saw part of the first season and didn't like it, but I'd rather sit through a marathon of every show than re-read or watch even one of the Twilight novels/movies.
Tolkien went to new heights to create the world of Middle-Earth. Races, languages, locations, history, mythology, geography; Lord of the Rings, and its companion novels, read like the richest of history books. There are classes devoted solely to Tolkien at universities across the world. To put this in perspective, the other classes devoted to single authors at my alma mater have titles such as Homer, Dostoyevsky, and Shakespeare.
Star Wars is a classic hero's journey. Characters grow, mature, and change. The story arcs are fantastic. It is a story of good vs. evil and the triumphs and pitfalls along the way.
Star Trek is replete with wonderful characterization. Though the special effects and costumes in the original series may have been cheesy, Star Trek was an innovative show that dealt with heavy issues under the guise of science fiction. Again, the relationships between characters are intricate; Gene Roddenberry created languages, worlds, and history; and it has proved to have incredible staying power.
Twilight? Twilight is a story about a naive teenager falling in "love" with a jealous, creepy stalker. Not only does Edward try to shelter her from her other friends, she becomes suicidal when he leaves. Growth in characters? Not really. Bella remains a whiny, insecure girl throughout the entire series. Every other page, we get an avalanche of purple prose about how perfect Edward is. It's Stephenie Meyer's wet dream in print, no better than a common romance novel. And if we want to get into the academics of it, let's take a look at the nonexistent climax in Breaking Dawn. The novels are poorly written and, if taken to heart, could be a thorn in society's side. Do we really want our daughters growing up with Edward as the model for an "ideal boyfriend?" The Twilight novels may be fine for entertainment, but please don't make the ridiculous claim that Twilight is better than Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or Star Trek.
OP: FYL. I'm sorry."
