Twilight New Moon – What Twilight Has That Star Wars Doesn’t
Twilight New Moon – Fanboys haven’t been fond of the Twilight movies, never more so than at Comic-Con a few years ago, when Twi-hards squatted in Hall H so early for the New Moon panel that the comparatively less ardent geeks hoping to catch a glimpse at Tron Legacy were shut out. Both movies were equally wooden, but ever since, fanboys with no stake in the Twilight franchise have assumed a condescending position toward the women who love it, insisting that the relationship-heavy lessons imparted in the Kristen Stewart series (and especially the latest installment, Breaking Dawn – Part 1) are actually damaging to girls. And look, Vulture isn’t inclined to disagree with the haters There is plenty of not-great stuff in Twilight, including the actual filmmaking! But the thing that gets our goat is when these fanboys exclaim that Twilight sets a bad example for women, despite the fact that their own cherished franchises like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings have one significant failing in that regard.
