And for some reason Meyer loves to have love triangles. I started her book The Host and while I liked it a lot better than Twilight, she still threw in a love triangle that drove me batty.
I don't think any love triangle could be worse than the one in twilight. I couldn't finish the second book. I felt I'd read enough to make a legitimate case explaining why I didn't like it.
Have you read The Host? At least the triangle there didn't feature four characters and only three physical bodies. @.@ One guy was in love with the human host, and one was in love with the parasitic alien, but both the human and the alien were in love with the first guy. Made me want to bash my head in a wall. Everything else about it was actually pretty good, but I didn't finish the book because of that stupid triangle.
Yeah. While I admit that was weird It didn't acutally bother me as much as Edward and Jacob fighting over Bella.
At least at the end the parasite got a human body all to herself although for some reason that whole concept creeped me out.
That's nuts. Why in the blue hell would anyone pick a fight over "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob"? I've seen that in parodies and as a joke but I didn't know they were that messed up. Then again you're likely to sustain some type of brain related injury while reading Twilight....
Actually there has been a lot of reported injuries due to girls fighting over 'Team Edward' and 'Team Jacob'. It's gone so far, as yeah insults, name calling, broken bones, I've read of bruised organs, ruptured organs, skull fractures... Girls are vicious over this stuff.
That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Girls actually go so far as to injure each other over fictional characters they will never have a chance with? I'm sorry but that brings new meaning to the term Twi-tard.
That seems to be the collective feeling for all the people who posted here. I to thought it was just plain funny to think of Edward Vs Alucard that's why I joined Team Alucard and I intend to get a T-shirt.
Yeah. While I admit that was weird It didn't acutally bother me as much as Edward and Jacob fighting over Bella.
At least at the end the parasite got a human body all to herself although for some reason that whole concept creeped me out.
Maybe we should reclassify Meyer as a horror writer since her books manage to creep as many people out as they enslave to her heroes.
And since running across this thread I have looked into Hellsing, and yes, Alucard kicks ass and would kick Edward's all across the world.
I would obviously choose Hellsing because Twilight's characters were so annoying and pathetic. Alucard could kick Edward's ass in no time flat. It would be the most boring fight ever because one second Edward would be there then he would be gone and Alucard's beast arm would be finishing up chewing him. Granted he would probably spit him back up because sparkly things are bad for you.
@Angeline: Can I put that on a bumpersticker? BEcause I would love to drive around in a car that has "Sparkly Things Are Bad For You" emblazoned on the bumper. XD
lawl
Sora would just love a bumper sticker that says all the way across his bumper:
"Team Edward............................................ ..........................Elric"
I think they can be compared. After all, Manga and books are pretty much the same, but one uses pictures to show action and the other describes the action taking place. But that's my opinion. :)
And, the 'Team Alucard' thing was going around my school too, as well as 'Team Edward Elric'. ^^ Personally, I think that both FMA and Hellsing are so much better than Twilight.
I compare the two, since it's funny. I despise Twilight, and don't even look at it as a good book, the over-all plot is okay, it's not terrible, but it's not unique, but the characters make it worse. Anyway, enough of me ranting. Hellsing is a great anime, and in spirit I find it funny that "Team Alucard" fan place the two against each other.
I guess you could compare the two but if you think of it Edward wouldnt have a chance im no Twilight fan but come on Alucard against a sparkly wanna be vamp. there is no chance in hell of Edward winning.
I've heard 'Team Alucard' all over Gaia, but I can't see actually comparing Hellsing to Twilight unless they're using the Twilight graphic novel. In that case, Hellsing and Alucard still win because the Twitlight graphic novel is still based off a story with no plot or character development and the narrator's unwarranted self importance and needless angst.
It's like when people want to compare Harry Potter to Twilight; it's like comparing apples and oranges. They have far less in common than similarities, being popular isn't grounds for comparison, ya know?
