by Happy 15th anniversary of the first Twilight film! I remember midnight screenings, book releases, and the Hot Topic merch pileups. The Twilight era was truly one for the books.
So, on this joyous occasion, let’s discuss, in my opinion, the eight things in the films that aged pretty poorly and the nine that aged as beautifully as a vampire:
1.
Aged poorly: Bella and Edward’s age gap
2.
Aged poorly: Renesmee’s CGI
3.
Aged poorly: The way Bella’s friends acted after Edward left
4.
Aged poorly: Jacob imprinting on a baby
5.
Aged poorly: Jacob’s completely inappropriate and manipulative behavior towards Bella
6.
Aged poorly: The total lack of diversity
7.
Aged poorly: The clear problems on how relationships are portrayed in this story
And now, let’s talk about the things that I think aged really well for the series:
8.
Aged like a vamp: “Edible art”
9.
Aged like a vamp: Edward and Bella’s power couple dynamic
10.
Aged like a vamp: The wolves CGI
11.
Aged like a vamp: Bella’s shield abilities
12.
Aged like a vamp: The soundtrack
13.
Aged like a vamp: The baseball scene
14.
Aged like a vamp: The Breaking Dawn: Part 2 battle
15.
Aged like a vamp: The Cullen family dynamic
16.
Aged like a vamp: The lasting impact
