Twilight- Awesome Saga or Corrupting Fantasy is Disguise?

[Scion's Light]

So, there has been some controversial discussion about the subject: Twilight.

What do you think about it?

NOTE: PLEASE KEEP YOUR OPINIONS AND THE CONVERSATION CIVIL. VIOLENT ACCUSATIONS AND VIOLENT RETORTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.
Hey mods, care to help a bit with that please?

I've seen the first two movies and I say they bored me to death.

But to each their own

[ric]

I honestly cannot say whether they're 'evil' or 'corrupting', because I haven't seen them. I have heard that they're pretty dumb, but that doesn't speak to the wholesomeness of the series.

[Shennifer]

I've seen all the movies, and admit that I did like them. I've also read the books, and it's been awhile since then, but I think I liked them alright. However, they are not wholesome overall and I don't think people should read or watch it because of the inappropriate content. No, I don't think that the people I know have read them have an unhealthy obsession with twilight, but for myself, it can quickly become that. That's why I'm trying to stay away from it.

Really? We NEED another Twilight topic?

[Shennifer]

No. We don't. We need a "Harry Potter is awesome" thread.

(and I'm not going to debate about it)

[Shadowfax]

Vampires are sinful.

Werewolves, on the other hand...

Sorry Jelly, if I knew of another thread that was along the same lines of this one, than I would have used that thread.

So Shadowfax, how can a werewolf, a creature of pure animosity and violence, one that feeds on both human and beast and is a classic form of horror and gore, appealing? I must admit I have not investigated Twilight, but I do not understand the appeal of the creature. Could you tell me why you think it's so interesting?

If you looked into it, Twilight werewolves are not bad. They only hunt down vampires to protect humans.

Vampires are cool

Werewolves are just.... *gags*

[Shadowfax]

Vampires... want your blood.

[StrongNChrist]

Not every single vampire drinks blood

[Shadowfax]

There we go. That's the spirit!

Those are just the actions of the creature in question, the actions of the creature is not what is being disputed. It is the creature itself. The Werewolf itself- it's an abomination of God's creation. The twisted and vain fantasy Man has created- it is really amazing how far and how deep it has reached, in my opinion. Is every werewolf in Twilight as pure as you say?

Even I can answer that. No. But the bad ones aren't the ones people like....

[Scion's Light]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't vampires HAVE to drink blood, not necessarily human, to stay alive? Isn't that the basis for it's existence?

[StrongNChrist]

Certain vampires - the only ones I really like really - drink artificial blood called blood tablets so that they never have to drink the blood of humans.

[Scion's Light]

But you said they didn't drink blood period, would you mind trying to be a bit more clear please? I got a bit- confused there for a moment.

[StrongNChrist]

I don't really see artificial blood as blood which is why I said it that way, sorry

[Caswin]

The Werewolf itself- it's an abomination of God's creation. The twisted and vain fantasy Man has created- it is really amazing how far and how deep it has reached, in my opinion.

Question: Does this judgment apply to every fictional creature conceived by mankind as part of a manmade fantasy?
