    Okay so fun fact about the Twilight title because you mentioned the French title. In German, it's Twilight - Bis(s) zum Morgengrauen. So it theoretically translates to "Twilight - Until Dawn" (confusing, I know) because "bis (zum)" translates to "until". BUT!!! "Biss" translates to "bite" (cause it's about vampires, get it?) and I just love this wordplay because then it translates to "Twilight - bite at dawn". German titles are always so extra because whoever is translating them always tries to make a play on words based on the story.

Ran off to go tour the country in a van or whatever with her new husband, THREW AWAY HER CELL PHONE so her daughter has zero way to contact her, leaves her with a father she hasn’t seen in YEARS, and doesn’t even bring her there physically to get her settled in?!

      @britneyrose6309 Před 2 lety +21

      ​@@BooksandBuns Seems like a massive stretch to attach it to transphobia and not just gender stereotypes as a whole. Frankly, I would still find it ridiculous to take offense at these for gender stereotyping, but at least it would have actual basis. Like, if the male variant of a female original is more sexual, that seems more like a stereotype of men, as well as an attempt to differentiate the genderbent dynamics from the originals. And if it's the other way around, then it's more of a byproduct of the female variant acting out behaviors of the male original (who was most likely already sexually forward in the original).
      Now I admit the male-to-female route can typically go two ways... either A) they're going for a sex-positive liberated feminist angle to go along with her forward nature that already existed for the male original, or B) the "worst case scenario"... it's being written by some poor sap who wants a woman to step on them. And yet there is one overriding similarity between the two of these... neither of them are transphobic.

      Well since Beau is male there couldn't be any half vampire babies in a Breaking Dawn Reimagined unless as a vampire he found some human girl he liked (unlikely) or she raped him (also unlikely) so ending Life and Death with Beau being a vampire is actually the best decision and way to say, "No more books in this series".
      This last half of the story could have been a second book like Amanda said. It would deal with the fallout of being a vampire and how Beau had to manage his human relations--things that Breaking Dawn had to cover. And more wolves! Do we see the tribes and the wolf pack in this story? (I haven't read it so I have no idea.)

    To be honest, I find it cute that Stephenie Meyer took the time to research the genderbent scenarios to the point that she realized she couldn't make Beaufort's parents divorce something realistic. You know, in a novel about teenage vampire love.
    It speaks a lot about her approach to writing: not always the best choices, for she is not the greatest author ever, but even when the story's many flaws come forward you know she still cared for it. And Twilight happened because she had a dream one night and kept it in her heart.

      I imagine that the ending was different because the other main complaint (aside from Bella being a helpless klutz) was that all the drama would have been avoided if the Cullens had just changed her like she begged them to. This was Meyer's chance to write it as a one-book (s)he's a vampire now(!) ending.

If Bella were vampire she wouldn't even be Bella and same goes for Edward as a human. What, she'd be a whiny clumsy self-conscious vampire who didn't think anyone could ever love her because she's so unattractive and boring despite being a powerful Flawless vampire? And Edward would be whiny, broody & afraid of hurting his vampire lover because he's so strong and dangerous despite actually being a weak puny squishy human?
