- Twilight is a story about the world's most beautiful vampire boy, and it took an entire generation by storm. But how was that vampire boy actually described in the book? Why did the hardcore fans reject Robert Pattinson when the movies were first announced? Today's video is digging into that question!

![HOW HOWL WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK... [book versus movie: Howl's Moving Castle]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/itQYOXDaLfc/mqdefault.jpg)
I love how Edward's two moods are hangry and anime because same.
Sofia S underrated comment 😂
I don't understand why they changed the eyes in the second film, they got the eyes right on the first, but then over exaggerating the eye color in the second film, like who in there right mind would look at these sibling and think they are human or even think something is wrong with them just bases on the craziness of there eye color in the second film.
I heard that and immediately subscribed
Mood XD
Sofia S extremely
Remember kids, however much you hate Twilight, you’ll never hate it more than Robert Pattinson

I love him thooo
@@alice9518 I think what Illegal Meme Dealer means is that Robert has said he HATES the series. Like not hate in low-case letters, but Loathe and Despise with capital letters kind of meaning

What if they made another movie? I know it’s highly unlikely but just think about it. Poor Robert

A wise man once said “Everyone’s had a Twilight phase. You could have hated it or loved it, but either way you had a period in your life where you were emotionally invested in Twilight.”
Does H. P. Lovecraft count as a Twilight faze?
Cute Cobra I don’t think so?
Um phase?
I guess I'm not everyone then, vampire romance stories(romance in general) were never my thing so I just ignored the books and movies.
I haven't had a Twilight faze. I have a vampire faze that I'll never grow out of for sure. I should read Twilight at some point.
"Still a better love story than Twilight"
-everyone about every love story
Rachelle Redd it’s ridiculously overused that it’s just annoying rather than funny now tbh
@V. U. I mean, you're not wrong, but I still find it a nice reference while taking a jab at Twilight. It's just kind of what you're supposed to say about a bad romance. Sort of like saying 'no shit Sherlock' when someone points out something obvious. Idk, I don't mind it.
Yeah Fifty Shades Of Grey is...... 😖😖😖
50SOG, 365 Days and After: Are you sure about that?
V. U. Well, it’s still a better love story than Twilight.
I remember reading Twilight in middle school and being disappointed that we spent so much time with the romance and hardly any time with the world or characters I actually liked
@Crimson Fox I actually like Bella, I didn't think she was a bad character, I mean how you feel with Bella swan is how I feel with katniss everdeen, Percy Jackson and peeta mellark.
I REALLY don't mean to hate, but I'm a romance - aholic, so this is like, where it's at for me. I REALLY don't mean any harm to your way of seeing it, I'm just saying that some people might actually appreciate the love more than focusing on what's going on around it.
I’m kinda thinking of buying the books and reading it but I’m not sure if it’s worth it based on what people have told me.
@@translation-loading-9727 Do you like the books? I found the first book boring. I didn't bother reading the rest, because I don't like romance.
How do they compare to other romance books?
@@translation-loading-9727 It's not too long, don't worry, but making paragraphs could help.
And thanks for the reply
It did help me understand what some people like in romance.
The only type of romance I like is baby's first crush (That's what I call it) You know, the very wholesome and childfriendly kind
You know, with lots of blushing, happiness and heart fluttering cuteness? Basically stuff you will only see/read in kid to young teen media. (also because it has a 100% guarantee that there won't be sex scenes)
It's mostly because I have never had a crush myself, even though I'm 17. So I can't really imagine what comes after that, since I've never been in love, let alone in a relationship
sorry for all the personal stuff, I know you didn't ask. I'm just obsessed with a certain show right now that has it.
Ironic that people didn’t like the casting of Edward, as the actor himself openly disliked being a part of the franchise.
@Sabrina Wilson I heard that Taylor Lautner thought it was a great learning experience
@@kaitlynnekantner1723 i mean- even if the movie were good it'd be a great learning expirience since i think he hadn't partipated in that many movies at the time

@Elalae La yeah don't worry
ALICE YES
The issues I have are from the story itself. Bella and Edward are a perfect textbook example of obsessive love, which is a highly toxic relationship type that should be properly discouraged. I get irritated when people say, "It's just a teenage thing! All teen girls are like that! They grow out of it!" No. Just no. Not all are, in fact, most aren't! Dramatic and sometimes over-exuberant, yes, but not overly obsessive. If they are, it shows they do not understand boundaries, among other things, well enough to be dating yet and parents need to sit them down and talk about it. It is a trait of obsessive personality types that needs to be addressed with therapy, not encouraged as a typical teenage trope. Only a small sliver of that behavior is due to brain developmental stages, the rest is learned, and the person is in danger of it becoming a habit that will negatively impact future relationships.
The scene in the hospital where she is freaking out about him leaving seriously made me shudder, as well as the multiple life threatening actions she took to "see edward" that was presented as romantic and an example of "typical teenage romance"! WTF!? Also, the book is worse in these regards, the movie took a decent amount of the more worrisome relationship aspects and toned them down or removed them. Not often I see the adaptation of a story to film as an improvement....lol.
My apologies if my views offend anyone, but it has been my take-away ever since I read the first book and saw the films. If you enjoyed it, I'm glad, movies should be fun and enjoyable. Lol. Hope you have a wonderful day!!
i know right! you got fans here romanticizing edward watching bella sleep and they defend his behavior by saying it’s “love”.
Ikr? So many people overlook the fact that many of the parts considered “romantic” are creepy or just plain wrong! Especially the fact that people overlooked or just considered it romantic that Bella got married and pregnant at like 18. I’m sorry if I offend anyone by saying that it’s not a good series.
@@ella_melchionna Yeah, and she forced Edward into it because he wouldn't have sex with her until they were married....but still didn't want to do that while she was still human because he might LITERALLY rip her apart. People think the bed breaking during that scene is "SO SEXY", not realizing that he did that so that he wouldn't KILL his new bride!! She still ended up looking like she went ten rounds with a pro boxer. Yeah, soooo sexy! /s SMH....
I am so sorry, but if you think that the average high schooler is going to take social cues from a trashy romance novel, then you clearly have no faith in our intelligence and frankly I am insulted.

Ok but thats actually what I immedietaly thought of when I heard that while watching the video
@@anastasiaproft6295 "hate is a strong word, but i dO NOT LIKE IT"
Conclusion, they shouldn’t have made movie adaptations of the twilight series, they should have made a manga/webtoon adaptation
This version already exist at least it was in my school library but I don't know if it's legit 😂😂
Yes. I grew up on the movies and I just now got the reading the books. I couldn’t agree more
there's a legit graphic novel version of the first book, the art is 10/10
That would’ve been amazing-
@@legendofashes and in the second book too
I really believe Meyer did a self-insert as the protagonist. The character you drew up as Bella literally looks like a cartoon version of Meyer than a toon of Kristen Stewart 🤷♀️
But self inserts aren't bad, if anything almost all main characters that are told in first-person have qualities of the author, so in a way all main characters are self inserts.
sindel kahn Self inserts are bad because they are bland. Having a few of the author’s traits doesn’t make a character a self insert, and the author isn’t the only one who has those qualities. Self inserts are when anyone can picture themselves as the character because they are have no personality, opinions, ideals, etc.
@@faraway-2009 that's actually wrong and I'm sorry you feel that way, but self inserts are necessarily A bad thing because putting yourself in a story and making a character out of yourself can actually be a very good thing, especially if you take a past trauma that you've experienced and put it in a story and that main character experiences the story in the same way, so that makes your argument meaningless and invalid.
@@sindelscat9336 So you're saying Stephenie Meyer went through past trauma of some kind and put it in twilight? I'm not against you on the self insert thing, but you argument isn't really that sound either.
I have read the first book and nothing about it screamed "the author is putting in a bit of their dark dramatic past" You can usually tell when an author writes from experience, especially when the writing... isn't that great otherwise.
(The first book of a series usually isn't that well written)
@@rookideetrainer1635 no I'm saying that some authors do, not saying that she did, I was just using an example about it because you've got to admit some authors do that, I was just saying that just because Bella has her self insert does not mean it's a bad thing, and I've actually gotten a copy of it and the first book is pretty well-written, well at least the copy I got.
I remember when I read Twilight I almost threw the book across the room because of how Bella literally grabbed some random drugs from the medicine cabinet and knocked herself out because she "couldn't wait that long to see Edward"
"Random Drugs" and its just Nyquil to make her self less anxious and have a better sleep
So you're telling me that Jacob is literally just baby
And that Ed's a ginger
Fucking hell Steph you didn't need to take "gingers have no soul" thing so literally!
@The Cløwn oh no god no please no
@@necromelodia2432 I have no clue why I didn't mention this i think my brain was just reeling
Reet Skeet, is your name reet skeet as in Rita skeeter? lol
I just got back from someone criticizing how Bella was a “Mary sue” character
I like your explanation more
Well I mean, she really is in a lot of ways. I would have liked the books and the movies so much better if she hadn't spent so much time pinning over Edward and ignoring her friends and family. I know it's a romance but it just seemed like she didn't have a life of her own. No hobbies or interests outside of being not like other girls.
@Blue Moon Candy That's Star Wars though, those fans are way more defensive.
@Blue Moon Candy and I agree, there are plenty of male characters that are Gary Stues as well. The difference is that characters like Luke Skywalker are written well. A video that I would recommend is 'Why Rae is a Mary sue' by Literature Devil. He does a really good job of explaining.
Blue Moon Candy I agree with what you’ve said but a more in-depth explanation would definitely be ”A Mary or Gary Sue is someone who’s presence warps the story around them.”
This, in my opinion, means stuff like a harem storyline, overpowered characters, or everyman characters. I have never read Twilight myself but to accuse Bella of being a Mary Sue I would say she would need to tick these boxes.
A) Any character that interacts with her gets pulled to extremes. Such as hating her at first glance, instaromance, or just acting odd and or out of character
B) The whole plot revolves around her getting what she wants without doing anything. Basically the world and everyone in it is bending over backwards to allow her to get a happy ending.
B and a half) she only reacts to things but still gets what she wants without taking action
C) her character is mindless with little to no potential and a bland personality that does not grow or change
D) no matter what morally wrong things she might do no one faults her for too long
"Mary Sues" are more of a product of annoying author manipulation. Their writing suddenly prioritises aspects of the character without putting build up to back it up.
I don't remember enough of the plot to conclude whether or not Bella was a "Mary Sue" but the term is not concrete enough, not everyone agrees with a specific definition.
Pointing out the individual problems with her would allow us to dissect which parts went wrong and which didn't. Which seems a lot easier to understand rather than mixing all of the problems into "Mary Sue," a boring term.
“That’s probably why main characters are so boring”
The most accurate thing I’ve heard in a few years
If there was a twilight web toon or manga with this Edward, I'd definitely buy a copy!
There is a graphic novel. Idk if they sell it anymore. I think I was like 13, now 17, but they would sell it at Barnes & Noble.
@@Elizabeth-gx1su I've seen some being sold at books a million but he looks pretty similar to movie Edward I think
@@Elizabeth-gx1su apparently they're coming out with the second volume, this summer is what I heard from someone.

That woman went to church???
@@waterlemonandfriends she is protestant (last I remember)
Thats pretty cool
Nice
@USCAN14 I remembered she was something lol, thanks for the correction.
Bella is so emotionless in the movie and I feel like it makes literally all her interactions with Edward cringy asf😐
Inga Valentina gay shipping STOP
@@ashaf4530 umm do you hate gays or no? hopefully you don't hate them
@The Dark Overlord But you must obviously have problems with gay people if you don't want a gay ship.
If you had read the books then you would understand that Edward was usually annoyed that he couldn't read Bella's thoughts. And also wtf people. I'm Bi, have no problems with gays or gay shipping, but I still don't ship Edward and Jacob. Jesus.
@@marximas that is dumb i am apart of the lgbtq community and i would not ship them
Your version of Edward is way cuter than the movie version.
Change my mind.
I totally agree, I think the actor himself is handsome for example like in his casting of cedric diggory, but they made him so ugly in this franchise
I KNOW RIGHT?! THIS IS EDWARD NOW. this is how he will stay forever.
Yes lol

Agreed
LavenderTowne: “Vampires have symmetrical faces.”

Honestly, even though Robert Pattison may not have been the perfect person appearance wise in the movie, he was the best acting wise in all the movies. Hate on me if you want, but compared to everyone else, Robert was good. He's a fantastic actor out of Twilight as well.
@The Cløwn he did 😂. Watch any interview of the press tours and he's always joking of how much he hated being in the movies
Which character was he?
Edit: I now know he played Edward. 😅
True
I think most actors were good enough for the story. Kristen made Bella a movie version of the black canvas she was in the books, Robert was the right amount of distantly charming and sometimes sarcastic to make a good Edward, Taylor made Jacob one the most accurate portrayals of a super-hormonal, super annoyed teenager I've ever seen lol
Also, Billy Burke is a perfect dad, I'll never be able to unsee the dad-ness in him, and Anna Kendrick made Jessica a 100 times better than her book counterpart. Two things Twilight did amazing at were casting and soundtrack.
Yeah so let's get this straight: ppl were angry at Edward's casting because Robert Pattison was not handsome enough? What??? Many bad things can be said about Twilight but Robert is a snack bruh
I hope someone out there has a cat named Edward, and a dog named Jacob.
i have a friend named jacob and my name is isabela and my teacher was just like.. "BeLLa aNd jAcOb" im pretty sure that me and the teacher were the only ones that knew she was talking about twilight..
@@squiddy8197 I have a friend named Jacob and my name is Bella. You know, life gets pretty hard sometimes-
Kermit i feel you..
@@squiddy8197 lol
While I don't like the series- I hope that too just because animals lol.
6:43 that, and authors typically mirror themselves in the main character as they only really know how they feel, not how others truly feel. I know I’ve done this many times myself, as it’s extremely difficult not to do when writing
I switch POV alot between mains and secondarys. I know how each character feels makes it hard to pick a POV sometimes when alot of people are in one scene. Like who would the reader want more of, and who do I want more of.
But so far I only have one or two character. A secondary, and a bland mc at least in part one. I worry is a self insert out of 50+.
Mm, I disagree. While I will often put just a couple aspects of myself into my characters I prefer to challenge myself to write very different types of characters. It's too easy when you're just writing yourself, and boring, and the characters usually feel like they have very little personality because you're just looking at yourself.
I just feel like a good author should be trying to branch out more, y'know?
@@fanpet3912 yeah I agree with you
I actually read the entire book series back when they were being released, and I eventually fell out of love with them by the end, but the bronze hair color was something that stuck out to me. It was also the first series I'd actually been somewhat into seen be adapted into a movie and I had no idea that directors didn't actually stick to book descriptions when they cast the characters. I thought I was losing my mind when I saw Edward in the movies and his hair was not even close to the reddish golden brown I'd imagined bronze hair to be.
If it helps, they focused on his looks so seldomly.
I just remember calling Edward (from the books) the carrot-head guy lmao
My dumbass was just like “you drew Jacob like a golden retriever and I love it” then realized he kinda was lmao
Wasn't he even described as being like one, somewhere in the books? 😂
I don't like Twilight, but I love the way that she drew Edward, he's my son now, I'm adopting him
That's how I feel about Jacob here. Like, as a kid reading the books, I was team Edward. Looking at these drawings, I'm team Adopt Jacob.
Carlisle already beat you to it!

HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE TWILIGHT???
@@crazeeebanana2966 ikr how *dare* they have their own opinion and dislike something other people like??
You should do one of these next:
IT by Stephen King (specifically Bill)
A series of Unfortunate Events
The Maze Runner
A wrinkle in Time
I would love to see her interpretation of a series of unfortunate events
In all honesty as someone who’s read IT I think they casted very well for the kid version of the Losers club, expect his hair isn’t very red
Yeah, the maze runner would be awesome!
Honestly I can't find many problems with A Series Of Unfortunate Events but I'd still love to see it. Also maybe even A Little Princess (I didn't like that one) or Anne Of Green Gables
That sounds good. I think they casted the maze runner pretty well but there are a few things I’d change
I love how Bella looks like a vampire. Like, even though Edward has a supernatural skin color, you'd expect Bella to be the vampire. Also Edward is super pretty holy shit-
I just realized my boyfriend fits Edwards description pretty well, except mine is diabetic instead of a vampire.

From what I heard he absolutely hated it.
He wouldn't have accepted it if he didn't want it.
@@jaden.4586 theres interviews of him saying he hated it
@@rinkerber9679 I'm aware of that. What I'm saying is he clearly wanted the part otherwise he wouldn't have accepted it. (Also fun fact : They were gonna fire him from the movie but he fought to stay)
Jade Davis It’s called earning money. He had to put food on the table some how.
I'm totally gonna cosplay your take on Edward. He looks like a Soft Boi™ that could also kill me.
I've had a realization that hit me with a brick and now I can't unsee it: they cast older actors to play young people because they might be talking about sex and you can't have a minor engaging in sexual activities or even innuendo's on film because that would be basically normalizing child pornography. This obviously doesn't happen with every movie, it surely isn't true for Percy Jackson, but think about Riverdale and how they've chosen adults to play highschoolers? Now you might not be concerned with seeing a 16 year old having sex when you're thirteen but imagine any adult watching, that would be HELLA uncomfortable
It's really hard to imagine these characters in highschool because of the stuff they do. Like I say this as a highschooler myself, I can't imagine my peers or myself doing half the stuff they do as 15 year olds.
They could fix that by just NOT portraying their adolecent charecters having sex.
HAVE THEY EVER THOUGHT OF THAT?

I don’t even like twilight, but Lavender has a tendency to make my least favorite things amazing
I liked Twilight when i was younger, but as I got older and more into books I realised how bad the story-telling was at times and how stupid they tend to behave, but at this point I don't really care. It is what it is, but I unterstand why some people hate it
Agreed. Honestly the writing style was pretty decent (from what I remember, it's been a while) and was able to disguise a lot of the nonsensical story and characters at first.
Yunachi O.o the books are DEFINITELY better than the movie.
if you read it without taking it seriously, its kinda funny. like edward says, i cant be with you bella, im a monster! to which bella responds with, no! ill never leave you edward! youre too handsome!
reading back books that you loved as a kid is
an experience, for sure
now that i have a bit more knowledge about storytelling, worldbuilding and all that i realize how much my favorite books objectively are pretty damn lacking in certain regards.
Honestly I feel like The Outsiders would be a pretty good one to do this for! Going from the book, characters such as Sodapop, Dallas, and possibly Bob are drastically different in looks to their movie counterparts!
Oh my gosh yessssssss!! It would be amazing!

"Not like an Arizona girl"
*So she's not like other girls you say?*
She was the biggest "not like other girls". I remember being annoyed with her because she always ditched her friends for Edward despite not trusting him, and she was even reluctant to interact with Alice who was by far my favorite character of them all. I know the romance was supposed to be the main conflict, but I wish there was more interaction between Alice and Bella. That's my biggest criticism of the books is the complete disregard for the importance of platonic friendship, and family. You can't just obsess over a single person, that's not healthy. I'm glad I read the books though, I enjoyed them despite their flaws.
Rissa Renee, I kinda agree with you now that I think of it. My favorite character is also Alice.🤣
Am i gonna get shunned for saying I've NEVER read any of the twilight books..... I didn't even know there were books in the first place.

my thoughts lmaoo
i-
I learned that Cedric and Edward has the same actor, witch quite surprises me because I don’t like Edward but I adore Cedric especially in the movies
It's the character he plays in each probably
"Edward was supposed to be perfectly handsome"
Bruh, have you SEEN Robert Pattinson?
I definitely think Bella could have been cast better because Kristen Stewart has like two facial expressions in the entire movie. She's definitely not the most amazing Hollywood actor
The Narnia Chronicles would be a great episode. The characters look SO different in the movie than in the book. They changed the ages of the characters and their descriptions. I believe Lucy and Edmund we’re both blonde in the books that C.S Lewis wrote.
I don't think they were? Lucy in the illustrations at least definitely has dark hair, their ages always seemed just fine to me?
edmund and lucy were closer in age to peter and susan in the books, but i think in general the movies fit the vibe that the books were giving off regarding the personalities of the characters. the biggest divergence is with edmund - skandar keynes became a lot more brooding and attractive than his book counterpart ever got to be - but surprisingly his coloring was never mentioned in the books. the age was well suited in lww, and subsequent movies didn't match the age mainly due to the filming taking longer than a year. actually, the biggest difference in character description is with prince caspian, who was blonde and 12 in the books but 21 and brunette in the movies. part of me wishes they went with the younger age since it would explain a lot more of his actions, but i can't help but enjoy the fact that i got to stare at ben barnes for a couple of hours.
I just wish the other other books became movies. I feel like there's so much potential for Narnia to be great like HP and LOTR if only they could get a little push in the right direction. Last Battle could be really good since the actors are already aged up a bit. And they could use that to their advantage in Horse and His Boy too.
Yes! I hope LavenderTowne will make a video about Narnia 👀👀
yeah, when i first watched the movies i constantly complained about the fact that in the books Lucy was described as blonde, but she has dark brown hair in the movie
I let out a really loud, inhuman laugh when you said “special anime eyes” and I have no clue whY
Time stamp?
@Moondancer The Goddess 2:51
Amelia Sellers how can I agree and relate any more 😂
“Look, look with your special eyes”
“My brand!”
1-800 contacts commercial.
I love that commercial.
Lmaoooo yes
I’d fall in love with your version of Edward no cap he’s so pretty
Honestly I hated it because, well, it was basically reversed harem anime. Except no funny check and tongue humor. Just acting all brooding.
Taylor Lautner was actually 15 when filming the first movie, shark boy and lava girl was just three years before the first twilight came out
Taylor became very handsome as an adult, though I will admit I liked him better with short hair than long
No way, he didn't look 15 at all wHAT---
ExCuSe mE?
HOLY HELL
Wait what?? I completely didn't realize the time frame. Holy cow
A really cool one to do would be Howl’s Moving Castle. The book is quite different from the movie.
It is, the fact that hes got a Doctorate and was into rugby was such a whiplash
Great idea!
YESSS
Definitely!! The movie is sooo different, tbf I do like both depictions on the characters but I wanna see a side by side of what the visualised book characters would look like!!
Oo yesyes, however the book did include pictures of the characters including Howl and Sophie... but I would like to see them in her style
Oh god, your version of Edward is in fact insanely hot especially when he‘s hangry hahah
The only trait I remember of Edward from the books was his crooked smile.
Pattinson was better as Cedric. He was handsome, kind and lovable as Cedric. Edward just wasn’t the right role for him.
I thought the same! It fit him well. Also, he played a french guy in The King. He was also better there than in Twilight.
Nah, Robert does a lot better playing weird roles than heartthrobs like Cedric. We loved him as Cedric because it was the classic pretty-good-boy role for a pretty boy, but it didn't show us half of Robert's potential as an actor.
I also think he used his distaste of the Twilight franchise to pull-off a perfectly distant and sarcastic Edward. At least it showed us a little more of him than HP.
Yes definitely I loved him as Cedric but when I watched him in twilight I was like: ‘eh not really feeling you...’
I saw something where Robert said he'd rather play Cedric than Edward
I don't think Kristen was the right one for Bella
I can’t believe people hated Pattinson as Edward. His hatred for the entire series of movies is literally the one thing that makes them worth seeing
Oh god, that's the only reason I've ever even considered watching them
Wait… Bella is 17 in the first movie while Jacob is 15, and is 18 when she gets married so Jacob 16, so why does Taylor Lautner have facial hair in Breaking Dawn??? Also it makes it less creepy if Taylor imprints on Renesmee at 16. That means as she grows up (and really quickly btw) they have a sibling like relationship
The funny thing tho is that taylor lautner was actually 15 when they shot twilight
And all those moms were thirsting over him after he gained that ridiculous amount of muscle.
BIG YIKES.
Nightmare Fanatic DISGAUSTING!!!
The only appropriate casting based off of age 🤣
@@nightmarefanatic1819 he was hella fine and i HIGHLY doubt most folks knew his age.
I don't think I believe that
Fun fact: Fifty shades of grey started as a Twilight fan fiction.
Well, you learn something new everyday so
Wtf-
Well, yikes.
Holy moly
I know that I just like forgiving that fact because it scares me
I’ve also learned: everyone except Bella is pretty and perfect. Except she is *BECAUSE*
I think if LavenderTowne ever did readings of audio books that I’d only ever listen to those forever. For some reason I’m just obsessed with her reading voice, it’s just so pleasant and perfect for cozying up to knit with some tea or a cold glass of milk.
Do Jurassic Park next pls. The characters' appearence are extremely different
Jurassic park was a book?
Yes i agree with this stranger i never met
@@Jenns228 Yeah it was a book before they turned it into a movie, they also made a book on The Lost World. I will tell you this, if you chose to read it, it's written more of a sci-fi horror than a sci-fi adventure
Pretty much all movies are from books. The books are way better like A Dogs Purpose not the movie. Actually it’s very trash compared to the book missed so much in book.
I am literally watching Jurassic World the same time I saw this comment wtf
how is everyone so quick wtf
The world is full of mysteries....
I'm fast as fuck, boi!
@@inky5574 you're fast as a f*ckboi?
Best this is Lavendertowne
@@captainbirch9835 *facepalm*
i’ve never read the book or watched the movie, i just came to hear your descriptions of the characters
i remember watching the movie first and i was like, "Eh, ok"
and then i happened to just the first book in my high school library and the moment i read it was like, "Hold up there's something way too different about this-"
needless to say despite watching the movie first i do like the book better
"Robert pattison was Edward"
Cedric: ...
Yes! He was Cedric first
Yes.
Apparently he is going to be Batman in the 2021 Batman movie
I want to watch it because they cast someone as the Riddler who is my favorite villain 😁
@@popoffpeppar kind of sad he's batman
Cedriiiiiiccccc 😭🥺
twilight fans: THIS CASTING--
Vampire fans: VEGETARIAN VAMPIRES WHO SPARKLE!!
also Stephine meyer admitted to bella being a self-insert
puddy cat honestly never understood everyone’s gripe about Bella being a self insert. Practically every fantasy story written by dudes ever has self-inserts, but because it’s done in a cheesy romance story suddenly it’s bad?
@@kasairan8492 I personally didn't mind cause, I was too busy being annoyed at sparkle vampires- but I think its cause she was kind of annoying and almost 'perfect'? in the movies at least
Self inserts are more common than you'd think. Stephen King used them too. They aren't necessarily bad. It's just whether or not you can use them properly, same as any writing device.
puddy cat I think the purpose of that was so it’s easier for the reader (target audience of tween girls and young women) to insert themselves into the story. It might as well be a Y/N fic lol.
I was going to say, she openly admitted that Bella was a sort of self insert/ Mary Sue. You can’t argue that.
Your Bella and Jacob are kinda perfect for me. I agree that 'perfect' Edward was open enough that everyone interpreted it differently.... I do remember seeing Stephanie Meyer sharing her 'dream picks' for Edward before any casting was confirmed for the movie, though some of them definitely were older-looking than Edward's high school persona. I don't know if that list still exists anywhere but it was interesting to see what the author wanted.
He’s described/compared with feline/foxy traits or attributes a lot. Bronze/red hair, “long” eyes, crooked smile or smirk, but also like …a statue of Apollo or David or something. It’s really interesting. It’s hard for any actual real human to look anything like somebody who is meant to be so otherworldly.
Seeing these depictions, I have a strange feeling that if the series had been animated as opposed to a live-action film, it would have received a wider reception and aged a lot better (examples of well-aged animation: sailor moon, any studio ghibli, hell most disney films)
I don't think though, that the books or animes would have been nearly as successful
@@kayla4551 Fair enough, but to be fair fictional stories on anime or animated stories in general is easier to believe in. Since they're animated, it's much easier for us, the viewer, to imagine being in their shoes than in live action shows and films. I mean, a talking lion, a walking castle, and a guy that screams Kamehameha is pretty out there, but they still draw us in.
Twilight has aged like fine wine and I'll fight anyone who begs to differ
with anime like Vampire Knight and Diabolik Lovers, i’m pretty sure it would be received the same way
@@aspecificafricanyamdish5271 ikr
This has suddenly endeared me to Twilight... also when she mentioned Bella hiding her face in her hair when Edward glares at her just makes me immediately think of her her just flipping her hair into her face or her grabbing the hair around her face and just using their as a curtain, which I think is adorable lol
Hair falls genius. She probably just put her head down...
Elizabeth A. Southern thats the beauty of books. everybody imagines shit differently :)
Yeah that is adorable, that would have fit perfectly in anime.
@@Jailson_rah no fifty shades of grey is horrible, it's been nice twilight when it comes to likeness.
@@Jailson_rah 50 SHADE OF GAY I'M-
8:03 Ooooh so that was what that one episode in We Bare Bears was about. You know the one, with the silence ninjas and stuff in the theaters and Pan Pan.
You should do “The vampire Diares”
I absolutely love the show ,but never read the books
And maybe you should do “A series of Unfortunate Events”
Wait “Twilght” was a movie ,I thought it was a show
The characters in TVD books are COMPLETELY different from the tv series adaptation. I watched the show first and then read the books and I was like "wait, what? Is this the same story?"
It would be interesting to see a by the book video!
Netflix RUINED a series of unfortunate events omg
Me: I've never read or watched Twilight, and I never will.
Also me: *c l i c k*
Wow same😂
Same lol
Same
I cannot recommend it. I read the first book on recommendation from a friend. I was so bored with it. It drones on about how handsome she finds Edward on many, many occasions. Barf
Well if you read the first book of Harry Potter it's quite boring, droning on into a little too much detail. But if you go farther in the series, even just a little bit. You'll find a lot of depth and beauty underlying.
Her: *sketching out Edward*
Me: *wheezing* im G A Y
Big mood my dude, big mood.
@@Quintwuzhere same
I felt his for Bella,,, MLM/WLW solidarity
Your Edward is pretty close to how I imagined Edward, and I'm weirdly pleased about that.
LavenderTowne: says stuff about the character the story is being told from usually doesn't have much flavor in their own
Me: agreeing
LavenderTowne: one of the examples in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Me: **offended gasp**
I thought the exact same thing
_So did I!_
Twilight was that one movie that my mom loved that I just couldn’t tell if I liked it or not. But there was one thing I knew for certain,
*goddamn that movie had a great soundtrack*
SNUFKIN IS BEST
Holy fuck yes the soundtrack was bomberrrr
mcr couldve made the soundtrack tho- 😔✌️
I wiLl DiE EveRy DAy wAitiNG fOr YoU
gh ost I was hoping someone was gonna mention that Lmao. Pretty funny how they did music for yo gabagaba.
Me: sees the title ‘oh no there might be spoilers! ‘
Also me:probably knows that I’m never going to watch twilight
good for you. don't do it lmfao trust me, wasted precious time
its so good you should read it
@@MYSTERY-vc2dg meh, too cliché and bland for me
It's really bland, you aren't missing out on much. The interesting characters don't have any focus.
weird u havent watched it. but I have to be honest, twilight isnt good at all 😬
I really like your twilight designs your art style just makes twilight better for me!
Your voice is so calming in comparisment to other RUclips channels.
she says "that time in internet history" as if people don't still constantly dox twilight also considering people still say stuff like "still a better love story than twilight" pretty regularly.
CuteKitten 43 people love twilight now
There was a whole twilight renaissance tho, like honestly some of the long posts old fans wrote analyzing the story for what it was and its cultural impact was very interesting. (During its height of popularity i was not interested in romance as a genre so I had little interest. But now i can appreciate it for what it was; acknowledging its flaws without being all "blah this is meant for teen girls so of course it has to be bad")
@CuteKitten 43 ,, random question, but did you happen to have a mine craft-related app called Seeds Pro? Sorry about this lol, it's just I recognize your username
For real🙄, but at least people give it more credit now. Can you imagine a video like this existing in like 2012?
Since Lav did Twilight the next logical step is “By the Book: Fifty Shades of Gray” right?
You’ve read that?!
It's literally twilight fan fiction
^^^ This
Ewww that book sucked ass
I've read both twilight (just the first) and 50 shades (also just the first) they're both incredibly bad but so addicting because they're so bad
I think I just fell in love with a drawing
i love the way you drew edward omg
im watching all of the by the book videos in sequence, and its really neat to see your style mature and improve over the years with the kind of content you make
LavenderTowne: Obviously he will be Shark Boy forever-
Me: **spits out tea** ShReK bOy?!
IM SCREAMING OMG
ShRek is love, ShRek is life
Yep he was shark boy
I will say this again,
Next ep of by the book please:
-Divergent
-Maze Runner
-More Percy Jackson(Chiron, Tyson, etc.)
YEEET DIVERGENT IS DA BESTTT
Finally people that also know divergent :')
@@Grim_is_tired yeet it's epic ❤❤❤❤ UwU
I kinda want her to do the mortal instruments but I'd love more percy jackson as well
red Orion Divergent is pretty well known among most of America. It was considered part of the top 3 YA dystopia novels at the time, along with The Hunger Games and Maze Runner. It’s not rare for people to know the book.
I love how you drew Edward. Felt much more accurate!
I have a suggestion on another book you can do. It’s *The Outsiders* by S.E. Hilton. It’s pretty popular, due to I believe lots of schools reading it, and I’m curious what things the movie might’ve gotten wrong since I haven’t seen it. Trigger Warning for anyone who wants to read it, it has mentions gang violence, abuse, mature content, death, drugs and alcohol, and probably other things but I haven’t finished the book. Some pretty dark stuff. It, so far, is a really good book and I highly recommend it (unless you are sensitive to the things I mentioned in the trigger warning)
Challenge idea:
A bunch of artists each read descriptions of characters from books and draw them, then are presented with how those characters are in the movie/show adaptations. They don't get to see the names of the characters and aren't told what shows/movies the characters are from. Then they get to see each other's representations of those characters.
I'm currently writing books and one of my favourite things to do is give extracts describing the characters to some of my more artistic friends and seeing what they make of it. It's really fun to see the little differences that happen based on who's read the extract, and sometimes I'll remake the tone of it to see the differences. I've found that a humourous tone makes for more cartoonish characters, and that happier descriptions make characters more "pretty" (not just base attractiveness but how happy, gentle and clean they seem), while harsh tones make characters who look like they're about to get in a fight (either an evil grin or a serious face).
Super nice idea!
Nice idea! That'd be really interesting! (also appreciating the Confinement profile pic!)
I’m gonna guess that the reason they styled Kristen’s hair to be a bit wavy was because it’s easier to film. With strait hair, you have to make sure it’s all in consistent placing with each shot, but not quite as much with lightly curled hair.
No if your hair is naturally straight, it's pretty easy to film.
@@sindelscat9336 But what about your hair getting frizzy or messy due to humidity or other causes?
I like your fixing drawings of characters & how you reference from the book. Feels so nostalgic~
I grew up watching the movies as a pre-teen, however, I then read the books afterwards and I'm infatuated with the books.
I think I had actually read the series three times in one year XD too much?
Maybe, but I'm right there with you

Im so early...quarantine is making us show up early.

That's a good thing!
