The “Twilight” metamorphosis
How did the “Twilight” saga become so gay, commercialised and sickening? I must say that I liked the first book but as the saga progressed, the plot has become more ridiculous. If not for Stephanie Meyer’s excellent narration, the saga would not be tolerable. Bella became so desperate and could only live for Edward, Edward became so brooding and smothering and Jacob became an annoying third party.
I admire the person who banked on this Twilight franchise because it is very profitable. From merely a book, it became ridiculously famous. If you want to earn, just stamp on anything Twilight on the merchandise and surely it will fly off the rack in a whirlwind. Though the movie’s integrity is merely clinging to its true form, people have seem to forgotten that it is about the book and what the characters are going through. The movie became so focused on the actors selling points. It concentrated on the Rob Stewart’s looks, Taylor Lautner’s rocking abs and Kristin Stewart’s chemistry with Rob.
I think people forgot that the saga is a piece of literature that can be considered a classic after decades that catapulted a genre about supernaturals. Instead it became a franchise catered to screaming teenagers. The danger with this ridiculous popularity is that if another saga comes along and the same commercialism principle will be used for that, the “Twilight” saga might be a fad that was tossed aside when something shiny and new is presented to the ever fickle masses.
