^ That certainly sounds like the sort of "shock" stuff a troll would say. We definitely learned the basics of WW2 around then, at least enough to get the gist of what happened. But with the crap some of the more rabid, genuine Twi-fanatics come out with... who knows

Oh that reminds me. I think the dumbest thing I've ever heard from a Twitard was related to Harry Potter. Emphasis is mine. "Obviously, immortal people with venom running through their veins is MORE realistic, and EASIER to believe then dragons, goblins, BROOMS and elves." This after me and the other HP fans were trying to say that NEITHER of them were realistic.

The Ancient Greeks were just so WHACKY, weren't they?[/sarcasm] And Bella can go to hell-a. And Renesmee ISN'T weird? Unlike Twilight, Harry Potter is actually in a fantasy world. The names fit the fantasy atmosphere and are awesome. Four books about lust. That's it. Also, I don't think stealing car your engine, dragging you to your car, and demanding you abort your "abomination" of a baby are romantic. Well, that's pretty shallow. Saying a book is better because it has hot characters doesn't help: stories rely on a character's actions and personalities. ...you've only seen the movies, huh? The movies are based on books. BOOKS. If you really want to add more umph to your argument, you should've read the books and done a contrast-compare (though there's no contest: HP wins). Also, I've seen the movies. Stewart can't act. Action? None. Romance? Shit. Tension? What tension? Drama? Meh. Yeah, like having two hot guys fight over you while you use them, riding a motorcycle to hallucinate about your weird boyfriend, and becoming the undead. TWILIGHT KNOWS ME! Aaaaaaaand what else do they do? WHAT REALISTICALLY ELSE DO THEY DO? Real people swear. Therefore, the book is realistic...ish. Yeah, it's not like people die in real life. THAT'S too violent! Well, you hate the villains of Harry Potter, but you're using it to make HP look bad. Speaking of torture, biting people and leaving 'em to go through a horrible vampire transformation with no help whatsoever isn't torture? I didn't know Bandit Keith was a Twihard. SHALLOW~ So mustaches are evil? Also... Ian McKellen, 72 years old--and gay. 1 - That's what villains do. 2 - Voldemort didn't specifically decide to do everything by the end of the school year. He made plans and did things during the school year, before Harry started going--hell, he did stuff BEFORE HARRY WAS EVEN BORN.

So I hate Twilight and this is just part of why I really dont' like it!!!
If this is "sweet and romantic, then Harry Potter is a high-octane action comedy. B&E are just a dreary and brooding pair.
Hysteria and overpossessiveness more like it. And they're never in any real risk, except for when Bella jumps off that cliff.
So I'm a straight guy, so I really shouldn't have an opinion here. If the main cast can't act, it pretty much ruins the whole movie even if they really were sex gods. Which they're not.
Is this the same Kristen Stewart were talking about? Last time I saw her she wasn't able to force her face into more than one expression, but it's hard when you have to work with such a dreadful character. She did a seemingly descent job in The Runaways, but until we can see her actually do something in Snow White, it's hard to tell wether she really can be called an actress. Amazing, not yet, but potential, yes.
The tension is forced, the excitement is non-existing and the problems are always solved because the author know no other way.
How about: Action, romance, tension, drama....humor, characters, plot, language...everything could be better.
Bella is a blank slate, so-called "average". Yet, everyody drops to their knees for her. Isn't that what tween girls want?
How the fuck do you relate to a 108 year old virgin trapped in an 18 year old body? Tell me! Huh? What's that? A stupid non-related response? One thing: You don't relate to a 108 year old virgin trapped in an 18 year old body.

This after me and the other HP fans were trying to say that NEITHER of them were realistic. What's so unbelievable about brooms? I have one in my closet Exactly, but when we would point out these big gaping holes in her argument she would continue on talking like we never said anything. Reminds me of my twelve-year-old sister. ASctually I never learned how old the dumb broad really was, though she pretended to be 22. Bella is NOT relatable. She has no qualities to make her relatable because she she has no qualities to even make her into a person. The only reason why we hear this "she's relatable" crap is because she's a blank slate and therefore they can place whatever qualities they want onto her. How are they relatable? They have no struggles and no problems. They're nigh indestructable and having speshul powers, they have so much money that it defies mathematics (which they don't share with charity, just throwing that out there), they do nothing but sit around on their lazy asses all day and go to fucking SCHOOL of all things over and over again. They're cold and emotionless and treat each other like they're strangers. Out of all the portrayals of vampires across fiction, I would place SMeyer's Meyerpires up there with good ol' Stoker's monsters as the least human of all the vampires in fiction. And going to high school over and over again is a count against them supposedly being relatable because every high schooler in the world fantasizes about being free of school. I’ll go ahead and add another reason why Harry Potter is better than Twatlight: THE CHARACTERS ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING USEFUL! Harry and Ron revolutionized the British Auror department; Hermione became one of the heads of the government; Ginny became a professional athlete (and then after that a professional ass-kicker), Luna and Neville became world-renowned scientists; George brought happiness and laughter to children all over the world with his inventions, etc, etc. And what the fuck do the lazy ass “protagonists” of Twilight do? NOTHING, unless you count going to high school as something worth mentioning. Yes, going to high school again when you don’t have to is a bad thing. If a person would actually WANT to go to high school (let alone more than once) instead of doing something worthwhile like exploring the Amazon (which they have the time and money to do) then there is something seriously, seriously fucked up about that person and they majorly need help. And it’s not just the Cullens who do nothing, it’s the Volturi too. The Volturi sat around on their asses while a human had free knowledge of Meyerpires and the Cullens had no intentions of turning her. Then whenever they finally found out about Renespawn, and they finally they go off their asses, they still did nothing just because Alice came up with a convincing argument even though Edward the low level telepath even said that they had multiple reasons for coming there and even if they hadn’t had the Cullens executed for Renespawn they would’ve found another reason. EDIT: My bad. i didn't mean to reply to S-r-ex's post. I meant to copy the Twitards argument.

^Yeah. All that.
That is correct. That is truth. That is one of the quintessential points we are trying to get through your head.
Fuck the missing comma, you are wrong, milady.
Prepare a pillow to avoid cranial injuries when headdesking, people!
I disagree. Edward/Pattinson isn't that hot. Google Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan.
Yeah right. You say this after calling the main cast of HP "ugly".
I had to read this trice before I understood it. So basically, your boyfriend is hotter to look at the hotter you are yourself?
Despite being hot, people can still be jerks. Your wonderful illusion of life will unfortunately some day be shattered.
It's called possessive.
It's creepy and the normal reaction for Bella would be to scream for her dad and have Edward arrested for trespassing and stalking.
It's still possessiveness and stalking. At best it's just a worst-case of puppy love. I'll say it again, puppy love is proven to be located in a different area of the brain than the more mature and "sensible" love. Psychosis is perhaps the best word for describing puppy love.
Rinse-repeat, it's creepy stalking.
Rich yes, but far from generous.
How many cars was it again? He sure didn't buy that gaudy ring.
Materialism at it's finest.
Add top-notch hypocrisy to the mix.
Prove it.
He's been through high school so much because he's a fail at life, the universe and everything.
en·dear·ing - adj. - Inspiring affection or warm sympathy: the endearing charm of a little child.
Edward inspires as much affection and warm sympathy as as a half-rotten slime eel at the fish market.
Quoting literature isn't good if you don't get the point about the entire book/play/whatever you're quoting. While I haven't read Pride and Prejudice, from what I get from Wikipedia, Darcy is outwardly and arrogant prick, but actually a pretty good guy. Edward is just a prick.
WTF, are you seriously...?!
I think it's more like overprotective. Oh no, you can't go see murderous rampaging beasts, but murderous bloodthirsty golems are a-okay.
I've already stated why he's not.
Trade my cock for a cunt? I don't think so, missy.
Odin, Thor, Heimdall, the Norse myhtology is filled with masculine names. The twilight series isn't.
My mind is pulling more in the direction of "cum" for some reason. Cummen? It's alphabetically just one letter away. Anything but chocolate.
Just no.

Uh, personally, I'd go back to high school before risking life and limb and stuff like candirus, pirahnas, and malaria, but that's just me.

Plus these are the Cullens, who according to SMeyer are indestructable so they don't have to worry about that anyways. It's like Anne Rice mentioned in an interview when asked about Twilight. Why would immortals want to go high school over and over again when they could be partying in Paris or something?

Like everybody on here, I think the "Twilight cast is hotter!" argument is stupid. Mostly because a hot cast doesn't make a good story. But also?
Twilight main actors:
Harry main actors:

The HP cast definitely looks a lot happier in their picture, as though they're having -genuine- fun and someone off camera isn't just making them laugh.

KStew looks like she's stoned off her ass half the time, which would explain her acting. Emma on the other hand started out kinda campy but she's really improved.

And there's something to be said for improvement. We've seen none of the actors in Twilight improve, and it's likely they're going to fade away into the void of mediocre/bad actors, but the kids from HP have a future, I think.
