Imagery From the Twilight Movies
Though the wildly successful Twilight franchise has some hard-to-watch moments, the movies have actually aged well. The Twilight series features powerful vampires and important werewolves, who all center around the human, Bella Swan. The Twilight Saga is relatively loyal to the books by Stephenie Meyer, with a few changes to make it more visually compelling.
It was also one of the original teenage love triangles. Twilight's "Team Edward" vs. "Team Jacob" debate raged on long after the series ended. Other science-fiction teen novels and series that came out after, like The Hunger Games, mimicked the heroine with two suitors' love triangle but didn't lean into the romance quite as much as Twilight did, and not to the same success.
7 Despite Some Missteps, The Movies Ultimately Emphasize Sexual Consent From Both Parties The Couple Waits Until Edward Is Ready Significantly, throughout the series, Bella feels a great attraction towards Edward. She tries to engage in a physical relationship with him multiple times, which he often denies. It is not that he doesn't feel the same way about Bella, but Edward knows the dangers he possesses as a vampire and worries about Bella's physical safety if he lets loose.
While some movies might market themselves so as not to seem so cheesy or campy, Twilight leans into it. The films are known as romance movies first and creature features second. Even the Edward vs Jacob debate is a matter of who Bella should end up with, not if vampires are superior to werewolves. Since Twilight, both actors have starred in both popular and indie films. Pattinson's credits include The Batman and Tenet and quirkier films like Good Time, The Lighthouse, and The King. Stewart starred in the 2021 film Spencer, which earned her an Oscar nomination. She has also had an indie film career, with movies like Love Lies Bleeding, Still Alice, and Adventureland. Though both actors have starred in many other projects, Twilight remains their most memorable to many.
2 The Movies Perfected The "Will They, Won't They?" Angle Fans Were Divided On Who Bella Should Choose Close Part of Twilight's famous love triangle is the "Will They, Won't They?" angle the series takes. Back and forth throughout the films, it is clear that Bella and Edward feel strongly about each other. But they resist getting together, primarily because of Edward's fears of hurting Bella and his family's habit of switching towns to keep their secret.
