Why was Twilight so popular? With Harry Potter you can kinda see the appeal for kids...

It wasnt for children, it was for teen girls to self insert. They could choose between Edward’s stake or KNOTTED.

they're the ones who watched twilight

same reason nerds like harem anime, boring dull mc self insert somehow surrounded by hot chicks that want him

Are you saying Twilight's fanbase weren't teenage girls, you retard?

It was a meme series for normalfag teenagers. Of course it was abject shit.

What if they instead became bros and went on thot patrol?

Why would pedophiles watch a series that includes no children?

but nobody likes harem anime because of the dull mc, i hate harem anime because of it, the only good part is the hot girls

pedophile now includes anyone who likes anyone under 30

>but nobody likes harem anime because of the dull mc
and you think girls liked twilight because of the MC and not the hot guys? you are not supposed to like the mc in these shows, it just makes it easier for the viewer to self insert.

I don't know, but that film was (kind of) what got me into investing. I'd been doing lay reading on retail investment at the time and was spending a lot of time in book stores. A few months before the film came out there was just this constant presence of kids in the stores always asking about "the Twilight books" because they wanted to read them before "the big movie came out". One of the cashiers quipped whoever was making the film was gonna make a killing. I found out the production company (Lionsgate) was publicly traded and took the two grand I'd been looking to invest, opened a trading account with my bank, then plunged it all in. Within 24 months I'd made 200 grand. You can look at the charts yourself.

That's actually the only investment I've ever made based solely on intuition and it was 90 times more successful than my next most successful investment, getting into Nokia just before they spun off the devices unit to Microsoft.

true

Twilight is female porn in the same way 2fast or expendables is male porn, all garbage made to sell to base gender instincts. Posts like yours made it hard not to take the npc meme seriously.

>DUDE VAMPIRE IS A METAPHOR OF THE BAD GUYS GIRLS IN HIGHSHOOL HAD CRUSH ON LMAO

because it's irrelevant. if anything he is agreeing with my original post. dunno what is there even to disagree with here. novels/movies for teenage girls and nerds have dull character for the self insert, the main appeal is the hot characters.

I doubt it's even that deep. The novels were written by a woman, in fact a sexually repressed Mormon woman, so my guess is she meant it quite literally.

>linkin park

There's actually not a single artist on that soundtrack who could even remotely be considered "indie pop".

pretty girl to self insert and hot guy to lust after

Cool LARP. I make more in residuals per quarter than youi've ever made investing. Keep subsidizing Israel and Saudi Arabia, though.

>Florence and the machine
>St Vincent
>Bon Iver
>Lykke Li
>Bat for Lashes
>Death cab for Cutie
that's just off the top of my head

first one had some indie shit only the later movies started getting major pop bands since it was so popular already

In this case it’s different. Women want the mc to be dull so that they can feel that they have a chance with the harem and they also can’t feel threatened and need to feel the prettiest.

Men hate the dull harem mcs because they see someone doing what they want to do with absolutely no effort. If the mc was handsome, or successful in some way then it would be okay because men want to strive to be that (that’s why James Bond was a thing).

what do children have to do with it?

None of the actors looked like teenagers in the end. Just like in Harry Potter.

You don't know what residuals are, you don't produce any income from them, my annual investment income is more than you make wageslaving in five years, the subsidy remark makes fucking zero sense in and

*ahem*

>CLEANUP IN THEATER FIVE
>BRING A MOP

They are the driving force behind most successful movies.

I like the MCs in harem anime.

None of those are on the Twilight soundtrack.

No, the Twilight soundtrack had absolutely zero independent artists on the soundtrack. Not one. All were commercial major label recording artists for years and in some cases decades before appearing on the Twilight soundtrack.

>Florence and the machine
>Death cab for Cutie
>Bon Iver
we're pretty big already

You remember the Patrick Swayzee movie "Ghost?"

Twilight is the 2000's version of that. It has enough cool vampire shit for guys, and another romance for women. The combination, with an additional mostly white cast, and wholesome values, makes the first twilight movie kino.

The sequals are dogshit though.

Though all three are indie pop artists, none of them were on the Twilight soundtrack.

Isn't Edward the pedo/creeper in this scenario though? He's over a hundred.

this isn't funny it's disgusting

New Moon & Eclipse, dumbass

>won at a casino
congrats

Yeah, I remember that movie, especially the part where there were no vampires in it.

Right, so not the Twilight soundtrack. Please consult the first post in this sub-thread before typing again because you're just going to be wrong over and over again until you understand the topic is the Twilight soundtrack, not the soundtracks of any of its sequels.

>he thinks markets are casinos
Enjoy being poor for the rest of your life.

I won’t, I’ll just buy random stock and make a killing

can i watch twilight as a male

twilight was for teenage girls user

If I pretend to like it do you think teenage girls would like me?

hating twilight is a meme, its pretty good

i watched it on a plane once
its really not that bad, just typical YA chosen girl stuff

And the lolis in your hentai are all three million year old dragons lmao

I like lolis

I remember I saw it together with some uni mates. The cinema was packed and everyone was laughing at the dumbest shit. That abrupt ending was hilarious.

I like the first couple ones because Bella is hot as fuck and her acting like a low functionning autist makes it even hotter.
I like the actors too, they're good looking, and I find myself wishing I could be one of them.
It's a very teenage thing but it's fun to indulge sometimes. The series takes a nosedive with the pregnancy movie, christ that was dark and sickening, on top of being really boring.

The dad was the best actor in the movie.

so is Yea Forums team edward or team jacob? team rich pale emo twink vs. team poor brown manlet chad basically

Attached: 84279487938.jpg (750x563, 49K)

I unironically think the first and only the first one is a legitimately good movie

correct answer. twilight was written by women for women and it was stuff womean actually like - rich chad stalking you, weddings, love triangles etc.

reminder that the twilight hate was coined by internet pop feminists

Id watch it

Team Faggot

>we want the Mexican audience

I'm down with Jacob. Riding motorcycles in the woods and getting banged by a ripped, passionate, warm-blooded half-wolf man for a living sounds based.

how is it possible to unironically like these films? none of the actors are able to act, AT ALL

team eddie

It’s amazing you can actually chart a trajectory of readers who bought HP then Twilight and then 50 Shades, there is enough overlap and time spread that in all likelihood a single cohort of women essentially enriched three authors on their journey to adulthood. Now they’re probably sitting around writing buzzfeed articles and accumulating cats.

team sparkles always

the actors couldn’t pass for teenagers in the first place. I still laugh at that one scene when grown 23 year old Robert Pattinson is asked how old he is
>seventeen

/poltv/ is obviously team edward because he is white and wants to be virgin before marriage

trump can be cringe but holy my he is based in this case

I made a thread about Interview with a Vampire a couple hours ago and got 3 replies. Now look at this thread.

Wait did the actors actually date irl? Or was trump just memeing about the movies? this is kind of surreal, even though he wasn't potus back then

Yes they did. Then Stewart cheated with some old fart.

That’s fine because I don’t respect myself

She looke hot and sexy when she was dating and being fucked by guys, then fell off a fucking cliff when she became a dyke. Also, I think she might be legitimately retarded.

Reminder that Twilight came about in a time where most entertainment was strictly men-oriented.

Before, a unisex movie would be mostly asexual and sexual imagery would be held to a minimum, implied or included with plausible deniability (skin tight outfits on action movie heroines for example).
Since Twilight lingering creepshots on mens toned bodies especially and to a much lesser degree (since they were always there more or less) women in attractive (slutty and more traditional) clothing became much more hypnotic in nature and commonplace.
Twilight actually introduced the problem of appealing to women in a traditionally male genre which opened the floodgates to womens introduction into other fantasy, capeshit and sci-fi escapism which has now been forever tarnished, cue Kylo Ren coming out of his space shower wearing his trousers as high as your grandpa.

It's called the twilight saga you autistic dumbass.
You can improve your reading comprehension by reading a paragraph then trying to summarise it in your own words.

>bella is relatable, especially for introverted/shy girls
>good soundtrack: bon iver, st. vincent, radiohead, grizzly bear, lykke li
>the withholding of sex throughout the series until they got married created the overarching sexual tension, hooking viewers in
>comfy atmosphere in the pacific northwest

I unironically liked it, it's funny that the bandwagon hate for the series somehow surpassed the amount of people who were real fans of it. it became cooler/more normal to hate it than to like it.
