Reason #4 for hating Twilight: Everything else! So if you've been paying attention up to this point, then you'll see that Twilight lacks everything that a love story needs to work.  It doesn't have characters that we care about, it doesn't have a relationship dynamic that fits with the story or the choices of the characters, and it's story is dull and stretched out longer than it needs to without anything ever affecting the characters or testing their bonds.  The lore of the saga can't even stay consistent with itself and doesn't leave any room for real dramatic tension. Despite this, the saga is selling extremely well.&

Reason #3 for hating Twilight, the story and lore At this point, I'm pretty much beating a dead horse.  We don't protagonists that we actually care about, We have a mismatched relationship that we don't care about and it has a dynamic that is completely removed from common sense, so there's really no reason to keep going right? But what about everyone else?

But let's pretend that physical features can constitute a bond and that we care about them for a few minutes.  It wouldn't matter because everything about their relationship and the dynamic it holds is wrong.  Everything about their little tale is so horribly wrong. You see, every love story has a certain dynamic that affects it's m

Reason #1 for hating Twilight: The main characters I may annoy a few people if I bring up a future point again and again and again. But it's such a pivotal one that it can't be ignored. A love story is a tale about two characters who meet, form a bond that grows into a dynamic of love, and the rest of the story is about how that relationship is tested. That last sentence, is the best summary that I can think of for why a life story either succeeds or fails. The first thing you need to have a love story or any kind of story for that matter, is a protagonist. In the case of the love story, two protagonists or a protagonist and his love inter
