What are your thoughts when people say that Stephenie Meyer has completely destroyed the image of the vampire?

To me those people are the kind of person who does not accept the changes and evolution. te can say that she ruined the vampires, but te may also say that she revolutionized the vampires. Her Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. are not like the original in almost any aspect, but that does not mean they are not cool. What I mean is that just because something is different it doesn't mean it sucks. And why would she write about something that already exists? people should think Stephenie is a revolutionary and a great writer who was not content to write one più story of vampires.

When people say that SMeyer has destroyed the image of the vampire, I say "I know, right?".

Honestly, te can't call sparkling bloodsuckers vampires. te call them Meyerpires. There's a huge difference. Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. are the traditional lore and norm, Meyerpires share hardly anything in common and are hardly Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. at all.

Just my opinion.

Okay i agree completely with you.. Stephenine didnt ruin the image o watever of 'Vampires'
she created her own 'new improved' ones, i think people who say shes ruined it should just get a life and get over it!Vampires ARNT real, so people can make up there own anyway they wont, Steph detto that her Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. sparkle and some are so called 'Vegetarians' <- i think there really crative ideas and havnt ruined the meaning of vampires, The ones we ALWAYS hear about are the ones that cant go into sumlight, drinks only human blood and sleeps in coffins, blah blah blah. There BORING now! im glad Stephenine used her creative brain and decided to design new ones. Its only a book, te people can make up your own too, so just bak off and leave SM alone, shes created her own world and te dont have to be apart of that, if te dont like the way she made her Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. then dont read the books.

People are entitled to there oppionons, But thats was mine..

When people tell me "Stephenie Meyer has completely destroyed the image of the vampire", I reply with; "Fuck yes."
Real Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. don't:
•Sparkle
•Go to High School
•Have retractable fangs
•Have monster children
•Have children who have the same number of Chromosomes a retard has
•Act like 17-year-olds when they're really over 100
•Fall in Amore because a Mary-Sue smells good. They eat that Mary-Sue.

Twilight was bad fanfiction written da a middle-aged woman who dreams about 17 anno olds.
The Characters are abusive, stupid, sexist, pedophiles and never seem to adapt.
Anyone who reads Twilight and likes it really needs to think the series over again.

Down with Twilight.

Well, I have to say I do understand how they feel. I mean, let's face it. Sparkling Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. aren't the classic, cool original bloodthirsty ones. But perhaps the unique aspects of Twilight Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. is what makes them just as awesome as Dracula and Nosferatu :)
So I must say I disagree but still agree.

i agree with them. actually..i'm normally the one who says it. true Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. DO NOT sparkle.DO NOT eat only animals. stephenie meyer ha rubato, stola the idea of it. GAH.IFUCKINGHATEPEOPLELIKEYOU!!!!!!!!

haveahorridlysuckishday C:

i honestly think that meyer made her own group o idea of what a vampire is she brought to us her opinion and if u dnt like it than dnt readr the boks dnt see the Film i like them i like what she has created and i do believe that Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. the twilight vamps do infact SPARKLE

Well, I really don't care, everyone can pick its preferito kind of vampire. I like Meyer's Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. più than Ban Stoker's Dracula o Nosferatu, but all of them are fantasy creatures and imagination can create an infinite number of them,so, if anyone really knows a true vampire, well, tell us how it really looks like.
The vampire of the picture is the only one I really know.

stephenie meyer did not ruin vampires!!! i like the twilight vamps better than the other type of vamps!!! stephenie saved the vamps in my opinion!!!

there is all kinds of different Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. this is just her version-it really doesn't matter

to be completely honest. I ignore them. Because, in her particular story that she writes, they just happen to be vampires. They're people trying to atone, o trying to become something better. They could be some other mythical creature, but it doesn't matter. It's not about what they are, it's about what they do with what they are dato with. If they were fairies, then they would find something to do with their special gift. haha. Her story, just happens to contain vampires. Yeah, it doesn't go da the classic mythology, but does it really matter? She doesn't focus on what they are. She focuses on what they do. That's what matter. :)

When people say that Stephenie Meyer completely destroyed the image of the vampire, I think all that she changed was minor details. I have seen other Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. not drink human blood and opt for animal instead. Example: Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Also, Angel did fall in Amore with Buffy--a human.
There are many variations of the vampire tale. Some descend from bats, some don't like garlic. Isn't change good? It helps keep things fresh and exciting.
Who are we to set boundaries for Stephenie's imagination, o anyone else's imagination either?

I think that idea is ridiculous, and there are other vampire stories in which the vampire is not an evil, blood sucking murderer who only comes out at night to prey on people. In the tv series Moonlight (which USA stupidly canceled, because it was a great show, and I wish Sci Fi would pick it up and run new episodes, but... )Mick is a vampire who works with and lives around humans, and he gets his blood from the blood bank. The story is somewhat similar because he has feelings for a human woman who knows his secret. These people that criticize Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. are not open to new ideas and they only believe in stereotypes. I think her work is awesome and nobody is making them read the libri o watch the movies.

Plus, Stephenie features some traditional vampires, Friends of Jaspers, Maria and Charlotee and her husband, the Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. in Italy, in Breaking Dawn, when all the Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. congregate at the Cullens'. some of them are not all "vegetarians", just their Friends in Alaska. And least of all, James, Victoria, and Laurent are not people friendly. The Cullens are special and they make the story significant.

it is mean.i do not like it wen they say that.i think that Stephenie Meyer has not ruined the image of a vampire.it is.....unique in her way.

r u serious? of course she ruined it. Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. sparkling? SPARKLING? omfg. Yes, I know that its her own creation and that Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. from other stories and novels are different from Meyer's Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. and that because its her world so Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. can be how she wants them to be. But, she's still labelled them as vampires. So, whenever te read another story about vampires, ull always think back to meyer's sparkly vampires.

i wasn't interested at all in Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. before so she didn't destroy me any vampire image... she just made me enter a fictional world full of love, romance, adventure... nobody ever detto that the facts described da the libri were real and nobody believed in them as normal!

people are soooooooooooooo stupid.I think that she improved picture of vampires.Vampires in Twilight are the best!!!!TWILIGHT 4ever!!!:DDDDD

Well, I think there right. I mean don't get me wrong, I like Twilight, but I like the traditional vamps better.

she couldnt have ruined my image of a vampire, i never read libri o anything about them before the twilight saga, so yeah.
i guess i can understand why people might feel that way, but Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. arent even real- so they can be what ever stephanie meyer wants them to be.
the twilight saga is her books, and in my oppinion those vamipres are better than the 'normal' onesss(:

The Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. in the Twilight series have certain distinctive characteristics that set them apart from other fictional vampires, some of which include appearance and hunting styles.
Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. in the Twilight world are different from most other literary vampires. One fact is that they have very few weaknesses - they are not harmed da holy water, the sun, garlic, o crosses. Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. in Twilight are not burned da the sun, but rather their skin sparkles like diamonds in sunlight. Additionally, they have a reflection in mirrors, cannot be killed da wooden stakes and will mostra up in pictures. At the same time, Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. traditionally never had to reproduce; they turned humans through biting, and in fact turned humans to ash when they had sexual relations. Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. in the Twilight series are also incapable of sleeping. It is unknown what happens to a vampire after they die.
So,for some people who Amore vampire's legends propably the series destroy their "believes".But for me,ofc it isn't a prob...Every good TWILIGHTMANIAC has no problems with the series,but don't get angry with the people who have the opposite opinion.

I dont think StephMeyer has destroyed the image of vampires. I think she's just took Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. and looked them from a different angle. As far as im concernd, she's improved em. I didnt like vampires. They freekd me out. they scared me. I think this version of Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. is più realistic. and i just want to thank Stephenie Meyer for givin me sumthin that i rlly lyk. i had neva had my own obssesions before. i just went along with my bruvas. But now, i hav my own. and im rlly enjoyin it. and i want to thank stephenie meyer for givin me immagini of fit, vamps to dream of. twilight has dato me hope that tru luv iz real and there is a person out there for evryone. Even if they are a vampire, a werewolf o even a troll!! does it matta??? as long as u hav luv, the rest of the world dont matta.
lmao. tht meks me sound rlly wise. but i aint. lmao.

I don't think she has destroyed the image of vampires. Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. are mythological o watever, so she portrayed them the way she wanted them to be. She kept the basic idea of the vampire (bloodsuckers) and transformed it into a story where the world thinks the regular stuffs about Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. but they're really something else. It was a way of making her story new instead of another regular vampire romance. My opinion. =D

Hi,
I think that Stephanie has dato Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. a different, più romantic take... Why not? They are beautiful creatures and not necessarry do they have to be blood sucking killers...
When I first saw Twight Light, I could feel Bella and Edward's chemistry, inner struggles, and above everything their uncondicional yet dangerous love...

the so called "vampire" has had a role in human mythos for over 1000 years in many different cultures.
the term vampire didn't appear until the 1700's.
but over the years there has been many incarnations in different works of fiction.

te can't ruin somethings image unless it had an image.

for example check out this past incarnation of max schreck playing nosferatu

i loved what she did it dont all have to be the same like Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. dying in the sun and all with sharp teeth. people get tired of the same o thing change up and that wat she did and im proud of her.

hmmm it really pisses me off when people say that cuz most of them have not read the books!!!!But people see the word SPARKLE in a vamp Book and they think its gay o Dum o stupid they Dont understand that she put that in there to point out that “everything about me invites te in” if i ever saw some one sparkling in the sun i would follow it so when people say that part makes it gay o what ever idiots say i tell them to shut up and remind them that its under fiction←the magic word get a Dictionary And look up the word evryone can change whatever they want hell i can say a vamp melts when i baciare it if i wanted too she made her own vamp world just like so many other writers 0.0

she has. it's set a new record for what vampirism is and "true life" has jack shit to do with it. it's about the LEGENDS. Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. are fantasy, but te can't go around changing it and disrespecting the traditional stories. it is no longer vampirism. she could call it something else if she wanted to be so god damn creative. now all these fan girls are in Amore with a new type of mythical creature. it's an insult to call them vampires.

Ok personally i think thats stupid its a book she can say o write wateva she wants in a book i absolutely lov SM and all that she does.

Personally, I like her version of what Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. are like più than anything else that have read o watched about them.

All vampire Film and libri are different, changed a little in someway.
For example, in the movie furgone, van Helsing they can transform into bat-like creatures, as where in the 1995 movie Interview with the Vampire, they can't.

S.M. has just created her version a little different, too.

It really annoys me when people run Twilight down.
If te don't like, then don't watch/read it!

it makes me mad, cuz i totally disagree!! i never liked vamps until twilight and now im obsessed with em...especially edward!!! <3 stephanie made Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. awesome and sexy, rather than just weird and creepy. Sure it's different, but i personally like it better.

i would tell them that they are so stupid she makes vampies look good! every one else makes them so nasty gross looking like they havent bathed in 100 years non of hers loook like that!!!

I Amore Twilight but I absolutely agree with that! We're pretty far from Dracula =(!

Personally if Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. do exist I'm glad there are some who don't kill humans. And it actually makes sense that they sparkle in the sun instead of turn to ashes. I noticed that my human skin gives off an extremely faint glitter effect in the sun. And if te bring everything with te into vampire life to be magnified, well of course you'd get the full blown sparkle as a vampire. Turning to dust just doesn't make sense. Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. are immortal, nothing can harm them, and now the sun's gonna kill them? No. I'd say Stephanie Meyer presented the most realistic idea for vampires. Go Twilight!!!!!!!!!!
