While the Volturi guard Alec had some of the most threatening powers in the Twilight saga, the movie adaptations wasted his supernatural abilities.
While Alec should be one of the scariest villains in the Twilight saga, the movie adaptations of the best-selling novels never delved deep enough into his disturbing powers. Twilight’s movies may have been incredibly accurate to the source novels, but the screen adaptations of the saga still inevitably needed to cut some details from the original novels for the sake of maintaining a reasonable runtime.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While Eclipse improved Twilight’s original third book plot by changing the role of Victoria, the story’s villain, 2009's New Moon was not quite so fortunate. Sticking closely to the source novel’s story, New Moon was a drab sequel that mostly focused on Edward abandoning Bella for reasons that wouldn’t be explained entirely until the movie’s final scene.
The true extent of Alec’s powers is never portrayed onscreen in New Moon, although characters do speak in hushed tones about how dangerous he and Jane are. This might be due to the limited runtime of the sequel, but it does mean that one of the Twilight franchise’s most unsettling villains loses a lot of his potential impact.
Why Showing Alec's Full Powers Would Have Helped The Twilight Saga While Edward warns Bella to be wary of Alec and Jane, viewers never see the effects of their threatening powers in action. In particular, depicting Alec’s powers could have injected some real threat into the largely family-friendly Twilight saga’s story.
