^LOL! Okay, I'd actually watch Twilight over Dora the Explorer.
Anyway... Here are my thoughts:
Back in grade 8 or something, I saw the first Twilight movie and HATED it! I was convinced it was the worst piece of crap ever! Which, in many cases, it is. So I totally didn't get why my friend Anna was obsessed with it. Heck! I'd even tried to read the book and had only read a few pages!
Then a friend of mine made me watch New Moon because, and I quote, it was "so awesome"! Boy! Was she wrong! Honestly, I think that's the worst movie of them all! It's all about Bella being depressed and NOTHING happens! Honestly, they could've skipped straight to Eclipse!
Anyway... Eclipse was in theatres around the time I was moving. So I went to see it so that I could spend some time with my friends before I moved.... Now, you know all those romantic scenes where people went "aww"? ... I laughed. XD
It wasn't till I got to Canada that I rewatched all the movies, and I found something to appreciate about them. I ignored Edward, Bella and Jacob. Because they are so freaking annoying! If they died, I wouldn't even care!
Anyway... I found characters I liked, and even loved! Carlisle and Esme (Edward's "parents") have to be the sweetest characters in the story! I also love Alice for her quirky'ness and Jasper for... well, actually acting like a vampire.
My appreciation for Emmett and Rosalie is not as big as those characters, but they're amusing too!
Anyway, me not liking Twilight. Started writing fanfiction for it (and trust me, I've read fanfiction that tell a better story than the entire saga), hoping I could improve it. I don't know if I did or not cause mostly my fanfics are AU (alternate universe). Anywayyy... I actually loved the characters of Carlisle and Esme. They just made me happy!
The others... not so important. And the series itself? HORRIBLE! But I found that one thing I enjoyed, which improved the movies several times more! Now, I still can't stand Bella... or Edward or Jacob for that matter. But I did find something I could appreciate.
I have more thoughts on this subject, but I'll just edit my post later cause I need to go for a walk with my bestie haha!
