So since they've ruined the Harry Potter reboot, how will they ruin the Twilight reboot?
I bet they'll do something sinister with ole Jasper, since he was a Confederate soldier.
Black Washing
Oh and don't forget Halo and Percy Jackson
If the adapations are shit people will just forget about them like people have forgotten all the shitty Uwe Boll movies. Rings of Power is going to become a piece of Tolkien geek trivia. The Halo show is something you have to remind already about.
I wish I could have hope like you, king.
Don't forget House of the Blacked Dragon.
A majority of the fanfics on Ao3 about it use the book appearances.
Are they actually making another twilight film?
I heard they were rebooting it around the same time I heard about the Harry Potter reboot.
Meyers herself specifically stopped the director from making the Cullens non-white (including Japanese Alice)

... Why don't more do this?
They're making an animated series based off the prequel twilight book that focus on Edward
...Really?
Its just Twilight from his POV. Not really a prequel.
It does go a bit more into when Edward became a vigilante and went after serial killers in the 1920's. That could make for a few good episodes
I never read the whole thing, just the few chapters she put out years ago. Didn't know that.
Because 99% of the time authors just sign off the movie rights for a wheelbarrow of cash and then fuck off to work on the next book.
I'd be in that 1%. I'd guard my characters like a dragon guarding a pile of gold. Either do it as accurately as possible or not at all.
Looking at you Rick Riordan. Mr. I AM GONNA MAKE IT MORE LIKE THE BOOKS.
Fun fact: Laurent (The black vampire with the dreads who gets killed in the second movie) wasn't black in the books and by changing his race, they essentially made Irina into a coalburner who caused all the shit that went down breaking dawn part 2 and gets executed at the end. Based
In the novels, Laurent is described as 5'9" tall, with glossy black hair, a slight olive tone
olive tone
close enough
This is how he's depicted in the official Twilight guide
Do they even know what olive means?
Twilight, despite being female gooner bait, is surprisingly trad due to the author’s Mormon roots. Edward is legit the perfect son in law and any father would love to see their daughter fall for him.
how will they ruin the Twilight reboot
All the older vamps like Edward will be African Blacks, because ungabunga ~wampyrizm~ started in Africa or some shit
"Dracula wuz juzt de wite washed musings of de white men" etc
olives are black, spluh
Minus Edward sneaking into Bella's room to watch her sleep before they even start dating.
Eclipse is my favorite movie and book.
Twilight popped off in my early teens, I loved vampires so anything with vampires I read, watched, played.
Twilight, House of Night, Vampire Academy, Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, Mortal Instruments, Southern Vampire Mysteries/True Blood, Vampire Diaries, Hellsing, Dracula, and on and on and on and on.

I also enjoyed a few podcasts about the Highgate Vampire
I use to play alot of Vampire The Masquerade tabletop, and when Twilight was at it's peak, a bunch of fans came in to participate and got frustrated when they realized it was nothing like the series lol
And she made the right call because those crappy movies absolutely printed money
I thought The Vampire Diaries would just be a boring Twilight ripoff (I do not like Twilight) but it was actually really fun, also the cast was like solid 10/10 beautiful people. The last few seasons are shit though, shoulda got canceled way earlier.
to play alot of Vampire The Masquerade tabletop,
I read VTM fanfics.
I kind of tuned out when Shane or whatever his name was popped up. Watched the Originals for a bit. Not even watched the new series with Klaus's kid.
I just read the occasional fanfic nowadays. Or re-read ones I read back in the day.
Chronicles of Vladimir Tod
Still surprised that never became a movie or tv show
That’s because he loved her so much and wanted to protect her. Weird but cute, especially when you realize that he could have raped her to death at any time.
It's because Edward was trying to desensitize himself to her scent. the movie omitted this detail and it made their first meeting in chemistry class really fucking funny because of it
Would've been more likely to drain her blood than that.
I still say Stephanie hadn't fleshed out Rosalie's back story prior to the first book because even though Rosalie didn't like Bella much I doubt she'd just be okay with her 'brother' sneaking into her room and watching her.
people have forgotten all the shitty Uwe Boll movies
eyy, Uwe is a peak kinographer in this household.
ruin harry potter
ruin twilight
OP do you actually like this shit
Yes.
Which is why I am not fond on it being raped. Just like I wasn't fond of LOTR, Halo, Percy Jackson, and several other franchises I am fond of being raped.
Canonically, vampirism turns people white. There was a bumch of uproar because it's outright stated that the Mexican woman who Jasper was with before Alice had barely any color left in her skin.
I hate the fact that this thread proves that there are females on this god forsaken board.
Dude it was a missed opportunity to not do the twins from matrix style vampires for the black dude with dreads. He should been albino with dreads. That shit always looks cool af. Blade is the coolest vampire tho
Twilight has it's own theme park attraction
eyy, Uwe is a peak kinographer in this household.
Go to bed Chrissy, and stop jerking of your director friends.
Maria.
The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide describes Maria as "very short and small-boned", being 5'1" tall, with black hair and a slight olive tone to her pale skin, denoting a darker skin pigmentation in her human life and is of Mexican descent.
In Eclipse, Maria is described as a tiny brunette with a soft and musical voice with a tendency to be sharp.
In the movie, her brown hair is altered to black, speaks with an accent and is 5'6½ ft tall.
Meyer should have specified if she meant green olives or black olives
I always love imagining the characters being green when reading books with "olive" colored characters. Adds some flare to the mental imagery.
I really loved this game when it came out, it even has a few suspicious similarities to Twilight too
You play as a doctor turned vampire who has to resist his bloodlust (Carlisle)
it takes place in 1918, the exact year Edward got turned
Fuck off foid. I am serious stop invading men’s spaces.
I remember that game, never got to play it.
It's not so much the shitty adaptations alone that sadden me. It's the good adaptations that will never be made due to their existence.
which one hurts you the most, anon?
NTA but a shitty adaptation. Especially where the characters look nothing like how they're described in a source material.
CAST THE BLACK GIRL, RICKY. CAST HER. OH YEAH ANNABETH WITH HER CALI GIRL LOOK, HER STORM GREY EYES. HER BLONDE HAIR. PERCY DOESN'T FUCKING OBSESS OVER IT EVERY GODDAMN BOOK.
In what kind of world do we live in where Stephanie Myer of all people is now based and red-pilled.
This must be the twilight zone.
twilight zone
heh
this one

It's the good adaptations that will never be made due to their existence.
This isn't how it works. If anyone ever decides to make another Conan the Barbarian movie, tv show, video games, comic books, broadway musical, tapestry, cave painting, etc, literally nobody is going to remember the Jason Momoa movie. It won't impact the decision to start production, its not going to be brought up in the marketing, a handful of Conan nerds might go "Oh another one. Well that sounds interesting" and they'll hope for the best and discuss the Arnie movies, maybe bring up the Momoa movies and how the lead also played a fish themed superhero that's also friends with Superman and Batman who comes from Atlantis which is funny because he was also on a sci-fi show called Stargate: Atlantis and Atlantis is a place in the Conan setting, etc.
I would argue if something is released and flops, it's never the writing, or the acting, or casting choices, or any other number of things that makes something fucking fecal. It's always "people just don't want a movie about X" and then we have to sit on the IP for another 10 years minimum before someone wants to take a risk on that production
Her entire story is about a girl being seduced by a Christian vampire who hates himself because he is an affront to god. The girl convinces him that he is no such thing and eventually they get married and fuck. It’s traditional as fuck.
It's funny how one of the most iconic hot characters desired by women is a 109 year old virgin
Ummmm he's 17 akstually.
it's on sale
Don't forget Being Human and Blood Ties.
That's mostly just because people tend to hold onto licensing rights until they lapse, not because people are scared off from making another adaptation. With public domain IPs such as Sherlock Holmes, there's often multiple TV shows and movies in production at any given moment with nobody giving a flying shit about how any of the other productions are going. BBC's Sherlock ended up being trash but nobody really takes that into consideration in regards to Elementary or the Guy Richie movies. if Amazon announced that they're cancelling Rings of Power and just gave up the rights, HBO, Apple, Netflix, Disney, would jump on the chance to buy the license to make their own tv show with the IP where they get to ignore what Amazon did. Same thing would happen with Harry Potter and if these things were to suddenly lapse into public domain you'd see an absolute avalanche of adaptations.
he fronts as a highschool student you sick bitch!
I might pick it up, going to get TWW1 and TWW2 right now. Glorified fucking DLCs they are. I just want to play Karl Franz for fuck sake and then Vlad von Carstein
can't handle the bants
kek.
I had no idea there were this many women on Anon Babble
Maria
Jasper's back story is so cool that she could've written another four books off just him
Anon Babble has fallen
How will we cope?
I want to see an Asian vampire. You never see those. Its always either pasty white guy, or unimaginative black guy (always trying to be Blade, but failing).
This must be the twilight zone.
fucking CARLOS
watch thirst (2009)
In Breaking Dawn pt 2 a japanese vampire gets killed by the Volturi twilightsaga.fandom.com
