Hunger Games had substance because it shamelessly ripped off a Japanese series about teens killing each other brutal. I'm sure everyone already knows but Battle Royale what they ripped off and that film kicks some major ass. I believe even Japanese companies began ripping off the idea...there was a anime called BTOOOOOM! where a bunch of people were stranded on an island, given bombs, and told to brutally murder each other to escape. That was pretty good too.

Though The Hunger Games did add a few new ideas. All the kids represent different provinces of the country, and everything is televised(plus, everyone needs sponsors). Those two things make the way the game is played completely different. [/hungersperg]

Rigor Mortis, Afflicted and plenty of other movies says 'sup. Twilight is the biggest vampire franchise, no doubt. But there is so much stuff out there that it's hardly the entire genre and totally insults the thriving independent horror genre.

While true the whole "Humans hunting humans" gimmick has been a thing since forever. The earliest example I can remember is The Most Dangerous Game; a 30's movie based on a book in the 20's. While I no doubt see the similarities between Hunger Games and Battle Royale the idea isn't exactly THAT original.

Even past the obvious rip off point of the arena in Battle Royale, most of the books were about how the poor were abused by a fake, dog-eat-dog society. Of course, that's not original either. Hunger Games shouldn't be nearly as fucking popular as it is.

Same with Twilight. It's interesting how people have flip flopped on Twilight, though. Even past devoted fans are probably beating their heads against the wall, wondering what the fuck they were thinking.
 
All of my gal-pals besides ONE read Twilight and were goddamn insane over it. I don't even know what happened to them, they didn't like any of that romance pukefest with anything else. One girl named her car, her cat, and was planning on naming her future baby Edward. Me and the others who didn't tard over the books just had to split ourselves off because it was quite seriously the only thing they talked about for the whole school year.

They pressured me into reading it. I couldn't finish the first book. At first I legitmitely thought it was a parody and that's why I wasn't getting the hype over it. I thought it was a parody on vampires and highschool drama and that I just wasn't seeing the punchline.

The worst part is the fact any preteen hormonal tard thinks she can now shit out her own fanfiction of it and become famous... because that's what the 'writer' of 50 Shades of Grey did. It's raunchy and trashy that men watch porn, but a mother reading 50 Shades in her car while waiting for her kids at school is totally okay. I've never understood why older women's romance books are okay, but porn isn't.

Also, this just proves how much of a genius Meyer is: Edward has this obnoxious little 'quirk' of not pretending to breathe when around his vampire special snowflake family or Bella Swurn. Bella in the book had noticed that he doesn't breathe and only pretends to sleep. Because he's obviously dead; it's always constantly said he is dead (because dead guys make women wet). Yet somehow these two have sex - rough bed-breaking traumatizing sex - and Bella gets pregnant. The guy who has no circulation or actual functioning organs somehow shot some swimmers into her.

Admittedly, I read Twilight back when it came out and loved it. Yeah, I don't know how either. Reflecting on it now, I'm really glad I never got around to buying the second book. I know enough. What makes the whole pregnancy thing especially hilarious is that Edward gives Bella Sue a C-section with his teeth. Also pedophile werewolf is totally okay and not disturbing at all. Honestly, the only semi-decent character in the entire series is this ordinary vampire named James who tries to kill Bella.

On the topic of the actual fans, though, they're vicious little 'tards. So much as criticize the writing and they'll send out death threats.

When I was still in high school, I had a handful of friends who absolutely adored Twilight. They talked me into reading the first book, and I had to force myself to finish it. As much as I like the concept of vampires, I'm not a fan of the ones who don't DO anything. I like the scary vampires, the ones who actually go out and feed on people. Y'know, the vampires that people in the movie/book/game fear. Except Hotel Transylvania, I loved that movie.

When I would criticize parts of the first book, those friends would flip out at me, using faulty logic and their own headcanon to explain it. They wouldn't even acknowledge that SMeyer used really, really bad logic to explain how things happen in her books. I mean, Twilight became popular shortly after I left an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship, so Edward made several red flags shoot up in an instant. I'd tell my friends that he was a creep, and they just told me I didn't know "true romance" when I saw it.

When I was in middle school a guy I knew recommended it. I didn't stay friends with him very long...
Bella seems like a sociopath. I think someone actually went through the "characteristics of sociopathy" checklist, and found that Bella fits a bunch of them.

And the family of vampires don't even stop other vampires from killing people. They're all like "yeah, just don't kill anyone we know and it's cool."

Mustache Dad and maybe the werewolves come the closest to being likable. I don't know, what happens to the in the books? Do they turn into assholes or what?

Honestly, it would have been a lot more entertaining if Edward was a vigilante, who went around killing criminals. It wouldn't be fine literature, but it would be a hell of a lot more entertaining.

The people who excessively hate twilight can be just as bad as the people who obsessively like them.

From what I can recall, Bella's dad is a pretty okay guy. He gets subjected to a lot of "BAWWW YOU DIVORCED MOM" bitching from his cunt of a daughter.

One thing I don't understand is why so many people, not just Twatlight fans, compare it to Harry Potter. They're NOTHING alike.

Speaking of 50 Shades:

I don't know who I'm more embarrassed for. Her for this trainwreck video or me for watching said trainwreck all the way through.

Not just one trailer viewing, but twice. 2x screaming, and what I suspect is crying, all for a Twillight fanfic with paper thin characters and vanilla sex.

I just...Wow. Just wow. There are no words. wow wow wow This doesn't top her Breaking Dawn trailer reaction, which made me suspect she's kind of slow in da mind. Fucking BAWLING. Over Twilight.

Secondhand embarrassment galore here too. Though maybe I should thank her, because her squealing drowned out most of the dialogue.
 
As someone who really enjoys writing stories, the thing that pissed me off about Twilight the most was how the character of Leah Clearwater was handled in story and by Stephenie Meyer:

"Omigawd, how dare you not stay in love with your asshole ex even though he left you for your cousin!"

Let's not forget how there's something WRONG with her because she's sterile.

I know I wouldn't write a sterile woman if I wrote a book, but that's because I don't 'like' sterile women. I like the idea of the human race, or whatever, being able to progress further. Even so, I would never write a book where I demonize women who are sterile because they're inferior to women who aren't, because that's NOT what I believe in.

But Meyer believes that her own motherhood surpasses all motherhoods and that women who don't want babies are wrong. So...

I think you just explained the whole Bob + Barb = Chris equation.
