I cannot stand Edwards character. I think he is a controlling wanker.

Not to mention... Bella is a freak. If Ty left me in a forest and didn't come back for however long, I certainly wouldn't just straight up forgive him! I'd punish him for the rest of my life :P

If you want to read a book about Werewolves and other "supernatural" beings that will knock your socks off...

Check out the Women of The Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong. It's amazing BEYOND amazing...and Clay would kick the CRAP out of Edward and Jacob at the SAME TIME! lol

Seriously though, who the hell cares? Edward isn't that controlling...it's not like he forces Bella to be head over heels with him. She's the one who is so seriously infatuated. And it's just a book...so I don't think all the psychoanalysing is necessary. Having said that, I must reiterate my dislike for Breaking Dawn. Renesmee is a freak. And Jacob's "imprinting" on her...just spooks me out. See what you did Bella? Lol.

And some people do prefer more dominant guys...so maybe that's just Bella's taste. ;) No need to go overboard and say he's a "control freak" and such. This isn't a book to teach people about relationships. It's just a FICTIONAL book, for God's sakes.

My concern is that a lot of teenage girls DO want to be just like Bella because they're so obsessed with the books. But I do not think she is someone who should be considered an inspiration, since she basically cares about nothing other than this boy. Being prepared to give up your entire life at 17 for a boy isn't realistic. Lots of girls have their hearts broken as teens... they move on and they grow up and they meet someone else. This book suggests that she cannot live without Edward, which simply isn't true. And she wants to be nothing more than his girlfriend (and is prepared to give up her future, her friends and her family in the process). We should be encouraging teenage girls to have bigger goals than that.

And I personally don't think that there is anything attractive in a man who controls and manipulates a girl he supposedly loves. If he did love her, he really would leave her alone, and allow her to move on. I can say this because when I was younger, a boyfriend of mine had to make that decision with us (we loved each other but we knew we weren't right for each other. He did the right thing and broke up with me. I was heartbroken, but I got over it! And now I'm glad he did it. But unlike Bella, he was not the only thing I had in my life because I don't think a boyfriend should ever be the only thing that matters).

1. Edward is perfect. I know, I know- if I'm trying to vouch for Team Jacob, why are I admitting this? … Well, you see, it’s true; he is perfect. And that’s exactly the problem.

I mean, sure, at first glance, perfection sounds awesome. Not only can your man fight off other vampires, run at practically the speed of light, sparkle (really, really sparkle), and play the piano like Mozart, but he’s hot, too. But then you have to realize that he, and not you, is perfect. And here’s when the constant shadows of inadequacy begin to kick in. Think about it. How much would it suck to live in that shadow for the rest of your life (which, by the way, is going to be a long ass time because of your newfound immortality)? … Yeah, I wouldn’t be too happy about it either.

2. Jacob has never abandoned anybody in the woods for “their own good.” And you know damn well that if Bella had a bone of common sense in her body, she would not simply take him back after he waltzes back into her life, regardless of how sexy and sparkly he is. And even if she did – oh, yeah, wait, she did – there’s no way she could avoid the inevitable trust and abandonment issues that would follow – oh yeah, wait, she did. Somehow. Vampire love transcends all or something. Wow, Stephenie Meyer. Way to promote a strong-willed female character... Anyway, this isn’t about bashing Bella, it’s about promoting a seriously underappreciated character. Moving on.

3. Did I mention that Edward is boring? I mean, seriously, think about it. When do he and Bella laugh? When do he and Bella actually have fun? Other than a super-saiyan-level baseball game with Carlisle’s family and that one sex scene in that should have broken Bella’s pelvis, there’s not much. They’re too busy trying to live the Greatest Love Story Ever Told to have fun. Now Jacob, on the other hand, knows how to have a good time. I’m sure he’d be up for a trip to the beach (be it chilling on the sand bars or leaping off jagged cliffs), or getting in a good old-fashioned tickle fight. Ah, but oh-so-proper Edward is too refined for such childish games!

4. Edward drives a Volvo. For one thing, Volvos are frightfully boring (hey, am I sensing a trend here?); if I had gratuitous amounts of money to spend on some sweet wheels, I’d pick an awesome Italian model, like Alice’s. But no, everyone’s favorite vampire chooses the reliable family vehicle for soccer moms. Jacob, on the other hand, rides a motorcycle… ;D

5. If you’re in the mood for canoodling (particularly when you’re snuggling up for warmth), you’d have just about as much success cuddling with Edward as you would cuddling with a block of ice. Jacob, however, maintains a nice toasty internal temperature of 108.9 degrees. The body heat resonating off of him would feel fantastic under the covers… you may take that statement however you like. ;)

6. The nice thing about being with a werewolf is you that don’t have to sacrifice your humanity, your immortal soul, or your family to date him. No matter how dreamy a man (or vampire) is, he’s not worth selling your soul over, especially at the age of 17 (or 18, depending on which book we’re talking).

7. Let’s see? Other than her own shortcomings, what’s most likely to kill Bella? James, Victoria, The Volturi, other “non-vegetarian” vampires, and Edward himself. Now, let me get this straight: Edward doesn’t like her being around Jacob because it’s “dangerous”, when just about every member of his species is out to kill Bella. I mean, yeah, Emily got her face maimed (note: not by Jacob), but I would think that murder and a thirst for blood trumps a facial injury, no? Edward, not Jacob, is the one that puts her in mortal danger in every book.

8. I have said this once, and I will say it many times: I prefer my men with a pulse, thanks.

9. Jacob’s got a pack of hot werewolves to hook your friends up with. All the “good” (read: slightly less likely to kill you) male vampires are spoken for. Sorry, ladies.

10. Stephenie Meyer, particularly in New Moon, draws references between Bella and Edward to Romeo and Juliet. And we all know what happened to Romeo and Juliet.

11. When you suck face with a vampire, you have to be aware of the fact that he thirsts for your blood, and that all this passion could make him snap. When you make out with a werewolf, the only problem is that the whole pack knows what you’re up to. ;D

12. Apparently, vampires have a sweet scent, and their skin sparkles in the sun like diamonds. That’d be great if you were into femboys, but I’m not big on this effeminate fancy-dancy style. I like my men to be… well, manly. And aside from his rippling muscles and what have you, Edward is definitely not manly.

13. And if none of the above convinces you: When Jacob transforms, his clothes explode right off. Yay! :D

14.If you go type in "Abusive Relationship" in your Google search bar, you'll find websites about how a boyfriend who handles your finances compulsivly, abandons you all the time, AND doesn't let you see your friends or family is a bad boyfriend to be with.

He is physically harmful. He is OBVIOUSLY emotionally harmful. And he has no sense on his shoulders about what is right for Bella. Well... I shouldn't say that. Um... To refrase that... He has no sense about how to act on what is right for Bella.

I mean he knows that having sex with her could crush her pelvis. But he does it anyway. He knows that Bella is accident prone and could die out in the woods, but he leaves her there totally alone anyway.

And so on and so forth...

15. Bella called Jacob beautiful. :)

16. Jacob is more likely to fall for you the first time he sees you because of who you are not because your blood smells delightful to him. I think Edward can easily agree with that.

17. Jacob gives you handmade gifts. Edward's gifts are not handmade, so do not have that touch that makes you go: Ohhh you did that, how sweet?

18. Dogs/Puppies are better than leeches.

19.Werewolves can throw a party; whereas vampires have to be careful. One cut from glass and you may never see the light of day.

So thats my long list. Btw, I am NOT saying I hate Edward. He is hot, amazing and what not. I would take him over all the guys I knew. I'm just saying I PREFER Jacob (for the reasons mentioned) I respect your decision, if you are team Edward.

And if none of that has made you see the light, you are hopeless! Bah, fine then! You take your sparkly statue vampire man! More Jacob for me. :D

You would date a stalker who would sneak into your home to watch you sleep and treat you like property?

What?
Jacob doesn't watch Bella sleep... Edward does.
I'm assuming you didn't read my whole comment. Which I can understand, TL;DR I mean.
But I'm for Jacob.

But yeah- I'm not saying I'd like to have Edward, period. But if it was between him and a regular ol' folk around my shit town, then yes, sure I'd like me some hot vampire.

Team Anti-Twilight and Team-Round-Characters-Instead-of-Flat-Uninteresting-Boring-Ones. And before you'd accuse me of not knowing what I'm talking about, well, in fact I DID read all four books just to know what the hype's about, and if there was a twinkle of interestingness in the first one, it disappeared very quickly in the second one. It's not an outstanding book to begin with, and then it PLUMMETED. And the characters?? PLEASE. If I had a Top 10 list for "Worst Protagonists", Bella would be number one for sure. EMPTY, SHALLOW, WHINING, UNINTERESTING, and she's the role model for today's girls??? WHAT? WHAAAT? And I could go on, but I have homework to do. ;D

Feel free to disagree, unless you want to rip my head off - I'm into arguments, I'm not into fights.

I agree with you totally, except that I think it did improve briefly in book 2, and then deteriorated. But they were all pretty poor and Bella is incredibly annoying.

Team Yes Please.
I love Edward, I think Jacob is adorable... and I want to keep Emmett in my closet so he is there whenever I want. I prefer the books to the movies (though I still haven't seen New Moon.) People say the books are badly written, but maybe I'm not the best reader, so I didn't much care. I enjoyed the story too much to notice the writing. Breaking Dawn was the weirdest in my opinion, but I enjoyed Bella being a vampire. Renesmee didn't freak me out... but the imprinting was odd. It didn't gross me out, however. I tried to really see it how it was meant to be seen... Jacob is not in love with a baby... he is protecting the little girl that will become the woman he loves. Or you know, whatever. Eclipse was my favorite of the books. I don't understand why I love Edward enough to try explaining it... I just know that I do. Jacob has that close best friend vibe that you clung to when your boyfriend hurt you... you think you love him cause he's your support system. Emmett is just adorable and funny and great in the books. Now... the MOVIES... Twilight was very poorly acted, the whole thing was cheesey and stupid.. and it couldn't make me any happier lol. It was filmed mostly in a 20 minute radius of my house. I think Rob is yummy mostly for his awkward, shy, sometimes very very odd personality. For whatever reason his idiocity melts my heart lol. Talyor is a great kid and I can't wait until he's 18 so I don't feel as dirty thinking he's lovely. Kellan Lutz is delicious and I'd like to keep him in my closet for when I want him. But I already said that. I also love Jackson Rathbone... his hair in Twilight and New Moon freaks me out.. but as HIMSELF he's great. The previews for New Moon annoy me... it's all just stupid... and I'm VERY excited and can't wait to finally see it. Oh... and also, I love Peter Facinelli... but hate the blond hair. He is really wonderful in person and has the greatest eyes that pictures can't compare to. I know this because I met him, touched him and have his autograph. *sigh* lol. Oh, and I love Alice in the books. None of the actors from the movies fit who I see in my head. Except maybe Rob's hair.
Why did I type all this? It's not really important haha.
