So this past week I've been... Well, not babysitting. In other words I've been doing absolutely nothing. Nothing. Except sit here in front of the laptop and do whatever on the internet. Sadly enough I 'haven't had much time' to focus on my thoughts about today's topic. So today I'm just going to write whatever comes up (which is what I pretty much always do anyway). Because I thought I've put off this topic for long enough.
Now to warn 'Pro-Twilight' people, or as hardcore opposers would say, 'Twitards', (I just happen to have much higher class to call them that) I am in fact, a very huge fan of Harry Potter. Which means this is going to be a biased post. I'm not going to lie, I highly, greatly, very much, gravely,
Reason numero uno, it contains a high amount of factors that cause me great annoyance. In short I can't stand it. At all. I mean I personally have not read any of the books, and I do not intend to. I couldn't even finish watching the first film of the saga. But of course, because of its 'over-publicity', I can say that I do know some stuff about it. Like the fact that 'Edward Cullen' likes watching 'Bella Swan' sleep, or something. I mean to some extent, it's sweet, but come on, seriously just... Come on.
I also know the fact that the characters stay half-naked almost throughout the films with their rather fake abs. Maybe not completely fake, but we all know well that they exaggerate everything. They're not even that good-looking. And also the fact that they started this whole idea that vampires apparently 'sparkle'. What? What is this? Reason numero dos, VAMPIRES ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SPARKLE. I don't know how else to emphasize that statement. 'Dracula' (mind you, who is a real vampire) would be so disappointed. Vampires die under the sun. They don't sparkle idiotically like fairy dust.
Anyway I've decided to spend the next few paragraphs discussing the greatest creation of all time, do I even need to say it? Don't make me. Don't. Oh, fine. Harry Potter. Magic in my mouth. So let me point out some of the things that make Harry Potter one of the most unforgettable experiences in one's life. Well for one, it's not Twilight. Two, wizards and witches against vampires and werewolves? They won't even last 5 minutes against 'Albus Dumbledore'. Three, J.K. Rowling is the god of literature.
Harry Potter opens up a whole new world of imagination and wonder, while Twilight just promotes perversion and false impersonations of vampires and werewolves. I really don't see anything great about Twilight. Other than it's written just for the hell of it. In my opinion anyway. Just like 'Stephanie Meyer' said: "The whole story and idea of Twilight came to me in a dream." Well, I'm sure that was a very great dream. I'm not saying that just because an idea came from a dream it would be utterly pointless. I'm just saying, Twilight is. As opposed to Harry Potter which was clearly well-thought of and beautifully written without any exaggerations.
Perhaps, I'm being too biased. I just don't see the big fuss about Twilight. Harry Potter is something that will stay with you forever. Twilight's just another fandom that people will shortly get over with and replaced with another soon after the fourth movie comes out. Unless they decide to give it a twist or something. Release a Twilight series (which if ever happens, I am willing to just curl up and be wiped off from existence), Twilight cartoons, Twilight magazines, whatever. I don't even know why Harry Potter and Twilight are being compared with each other, they're obviously not on the same level.
The bottom line is, IDGAF. I'm just glad to get this post over and done with. And I know I said I had a number of reasons why I hated Twilight, I guess most of them come under the fact that it really, really, just annoys me. I'm sorry Stephanie Meyer. But I'm entitled to my opinion. And you're entitled to your dreams. I guess it wouldn't have been too bad if the series remained in book form. Maybe I would've even read it. Who knows.
