The Love-Hate Relationship of Twilight and Its Fans
The film series was a massive hit as it featured different elements of fantasy, romance, and horror, that appealed to its teenage audience, making it a commercially successful film. However, the series received immense hate from people because it ruined the Gothic and horrifying image that had been given to vampires, and werewolves.
Even though Robert Pattinson’sTwilightSeries is hated by the masses, it became a huge hit because the film looked appealing to its targetted audience, that is teenage girls. Thanks to Meyers, who gave sparkly skin to the vampires and how certain characters could turn into werewolves at their own will.
Stephenie Meyer did not intend to make her novel series a great piece of literature or cinema because the main purpose of her book was to please a specific group of readers and viewers, who were looking for a way to escape reality and delve into a fantasy world.
Hence, the best way to enjoy the film series is to not have high expectations that would follow all the traditional norms of vampires and werewolves. As a result, if you are looking for a romantic drama, then you’re able to binge-watch it.
