Same here. I can't really say that I agree with him but there's this one thing that I absolutely agree with:

'Thus, the Twilight series isn’t so much a coming-of-age story as a refusing-to-come-of-age story.

It’s easy to make fun of that. When the film showed a dream-image of Bella as a future fantasy vampire, running besides Edward with her magical fairy dust vampire skin all sparkly in the sun, the mostly enthusiastic preview audience erupted in derisive laughter. The desire for eternal youth is childish. And kind of embarrassing.'


I really did laugh during that scene in the movie.

I don't agree with the homosexuality part, but the fear of aging is everywhere in the series. Interesting, thanks for sharing!

'But there’s also something natural, even conservative about it. In the age of Obama, it’s generally assumed that young people are progressive, but Twilight is here to tell you that isn’t necessarily so. The desire for safety and sameness, the reluctance to change, the wish for some father figure—like Edward’s vampire dad Carlisle—to come and fix everything, that’s appealing.'

THAT I agree with, not much else though. Still, a very interesting article!
