Blade wasn't bitten...he is what we call a "Dhampir" or someone who is tainted by a vampire's bite...but not entirely converted...seeing as Blade didn't actually get bitten...

 

In Blade's case, his mother was having labor complications, she found a man who claimed to be a doctor...but the "doctor" was actually a vampire who fed upon the woman while she was giving birth, altering the baby with enzymes, causing his transformation...into a dhampir

What is so good about twilight?

it somehow won all the MTV movie awards.

Best Kiss' date=' Best Fight, Best Male Performance, Best Female Performance

Our society got bad taste after the 80s ended. Now the "teen scene" looks like an emo fest. Worst Kiss, Goofiest Fight, Laughable Male Performance, and Comatose Female Performance.

That is a typical vampire.

Edward is a a vampire character in a book/movie

You are homophobic.

 

Can I remind everyone that vampires are not real? Why is everyone so butt hurt that they sparkle its a diffrent adaptation of a vampire is all.

 

Well, as someone who studies mythology and know the evolution of the vampiric myth. It started in ancient Sumer. Vampires were said to have been owl like and associated with the Goddess Belit-Illi. They were said to be similar to Angels. Then as time passed and the myth spread into Judaism the goddess Belit-Illi was personified as Lilith in the Creation Story. (Christianity frequently personified past gods to ease the task of conversion and to demonize "pagan" deities) Then during the Crusades the Medieval Europeans began to associate the Vamp with the Fertile Crescent were the mythos started. And they were afraid that the vampires were siding with Muslims so this began the association as demons. As more time passed the myth of vampires began to sink into the shadows. Later the myth began again with Elizabeth Bathory and Vlad the Impaler. These killers restarted the myth. Then again it dissipated for a years and with the novel Dracula it entered pop culture. Slight diversion from the myth is expected, but my main issue is how much of a punk the Edward is. "Oh, poor pitiful me! I have to live forever in youth and vitality with remarkable strength and power." What an ungrateful little vampire. I say let him kill himself and be the end of it.

Yeah' date=' Twilight is overrated. [i']It has too much romance and not enough action.[/i]

 

RedGai, I love your Ozzy card in your sig!

 

Well no funking duh! It's a romance novel. If someone doesn't like love stories, don't read it.

 

Anyway, the book was good (aside from the poor writing skills). The movie was mehish at best. Also I hate how they sparkle, everything else about the Twilight vampires is alright.

Okay half the people in here probably just hate it, because this series is supposeably "girly". It's supposed to be a romance. Not some cool vampire dude on steroids that rides around on a motercycle with a shotgun on his back. Blows peoples heads off and turns them into his undead slaves(alittle exagerated, but you get my point). So for all you manly men out there don't even bother to say that crap.

No offence, but your not helping the argument with your angry writing, and neutral repping.

Ok yeah...some people are being just that. I'm not. I actually read Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and (gasp!) Breaking Dawn.

 

I dislike the series, the movie (Saw that too), the attention it's getting, and the fangirls...like swatking55 up there. Seriously, Edward Cullen is a fricking book character. Sure Robert Pattinson is real...but he only plays Edward, he isn't "Edward Cullen."

 

People flip out about a poorly written series. Sure the 1st and 2nd books were actually really good in my opinion, but Eclipse was terrible, and Breaking Dawn wasn't even written by her. More like the fans wrote it and she just put it down in the book.

 

It's not really the people who say they like it that bother me, I actually am a pretty solid neutral, but it's the people who never read, but have read Twilight 2,000,000 times (sure that's exaggeration, but you get the point.)

 

And sparkling vampires...what was up with that crap?!

 

And I understand completely that the book was a romance, not some muscular vampire dude who shot people, or turned people into his slaves...lol I liked that line...that falls under epic quotes.

[b']Okay were getting somewhere you have an edjucated answer[/b].

I know what you mean I like the seris overall, but they dragged it on too far. I have a lot of friends that are girls and only one of them go crazy over Edward/Robert Patterson(Actually she likes Jacob more, but that's beside the point). Everytime she brings it up it bothers me. My girlfriend has the same opnion and it bothers the crap out of here too we just sit there saying get over it!

 

People flip out about a poorly written series. Sure the 1st and 2nd books were actually really good in my opinion, but Eclipse was terrible, and Breaking Dawn wasn't even her choice, she wrote it, because the fans wanted to see what happened in that book that dragged on for far too long. It's not really the people who say they like it that bother me, I actually am a pretty solid neutral, but it's the people who never read, but have read Twilight 2,000,000 times (sure that's exaggeration, but you get the point.)

The series is just overdone. It would've been better without all the hype.

 

And sparkling vampires...what was up with that crap?!

Just to make them seem more angelic I guess. Poor attempt.

 

And I understand completely that the book was a romance, not some muscular vampire dude who shot people, or turned people into his slaves...lol I liked that line...that falls under epic quotes.

Why thank you :lol:

Yeah, but that's the cool thing about vampres =/.

and no vampire goes around on motorcycle blowing heads, except blade, but he's a badass.

Dracula is pretty romantic-ish too, and still it is widely liked.

Twilight: The Movie is another film made for the sole purpose of attracting fanboys/fangirls who faint at the never-before-seen teenage idols they introduce.

 

If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is basically a Vampire High School Musical without all the songs. It's just as bad in terms of screenplay and the way the actors simply are.

 

High School Musical also falls into this teen type of movie, and is also a complete and utter load of garbage.

True, but Stephine Myer just took the concept of vampires and changed it to romance. Which was a good idea with not so good exucution.
