    I really don’t see how this can be good as a graphic novel. It’s just going to be tons of awkward silences with no dialogue where they stare into each others eyes.

    They’ll probably use Bella’s narration to give the reader something to read.

    Ok, my religion moment is done.

    Just kidding. I wasn't even baptised, so according to folklore the goblins can still come and take me away.... I think I'd like that very much, actually.

    Twilight is odd material for a graphic novel. Virtually all the action is concentrated near the end. Other than that it’s a pretty tame story.

    Yeah. I mean, at least in Japanese romance manga, there’s magic and people that can turn into animals and other crazy stuff happening. In Twilight, they just sort of stare at each other.

    Twilight doesn’t seem that much different to more common romantic manga, and the long periods of internal monologue, soulful staring-into-each-others’-eyes, inane dialogue and suchlike aren’t much out of place either.

    Sometimes Shojo manga can have decent quality artwork backing it up, though. Twilight's got.... Well, an angry mob of hormone crazed girls (Ready to maim) backing it up.

    As far as I know, you can usually critizise a manga without fearing for your own life....

    WHAT MORE CAN THEY DO?! weeps

    Twilight the Musical.
    Twilight Online MMORPG.
    Twilight TV Series.
    Twilight Trading Card Game.

    And the most fearsome of all, Twilight Reality TV Show.

    And if that revalation comes true, I'm destined to live the rest of my life underneath a rock.... 'Cause I think that then I will pretty much have lost my faith in this world (Even though I found it sort of vain to begin with).

    @The Butterfly: Twilight: The Interpretive Dance.

    But, really? Manga, and a Board Game? Have they no shame? It’s more than likely that the manga will just be a collection of cartoonised Edward photos with enlarged, square eyes.

    I bought this game because I was having a Twilight party. There were 7 of us playing, and we had a blast. The age range of our players was 17 to 41, and everyone really enjoyed the game.

    41? These people have no lives. :P

    I am laughing Devin. Truly, I am.

    41? Wh— I’m not even going to try to understand…

    lol I think I posted this in the Minor Quibbles thread...
    Like I said: doesn't seem very "Manga"esque as far as the sample art. Any better-schooled in Manga agree with me?

    Interesting that even some Twilight fans don’t like the movie and think the books superior.

    Ever wonder why people always say that the cinematic adaptation of a book is inferior to the book itself?

    • CommentAuthorWitrin
    • CommentTimeJul 24th 2009
     

    It isn’t always. As anyone who’s read the Princess Bride will tell you. Or Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but most people agree that #2 was a low point for the Harry Potter series – which is one hundred times better than the best Twilight novel (cough*) any day of the week that ends in ‘y’.

    *Is there a novel that Anti-twilighters consider average? ...Or at the very least better?

    No, because they messed up the book they really liked.

  19.  

    I don’t see how this could be a graphic novel either. I’m reading it, and all Bella does most of the time is bitch and daydream about Edward. It’s weird. I’m embarrassed to be reading it. I always try to hide the cover and explain that I’m only reading it for mocking purposes. Whenever I put it down, I have the back cover facing up.

    But to answer the question posed in the thread’s title (Well, questions need answers!) (Even if they’re only hypothetical.)

    When will this madness end?
    By madness, the asker of the question means the hilarious adventures of the average teenaged girl. (Or those of feminine origin with the mentality of average teenagers.)
    What could cause this teenage girl to break free from this mental cage wrought of sparkletonium? (Oh, the drama.) Suggestions?

    I borrowed it from my friend. And it’s the cover with Kristen and Rob, not the apple cover. I prefer the apple cover.

  25.  

    I never understood why they have book covers based on the movies of the books.

  26.  

    So the illiterates who watched the movie and hate reading will go, “Ooh, that looks like that movie I saw. Maybe I should read it.” Only to get bored in ten minutes and throw it in the back of the closet. It’s just to make people connect it with the book.

    Personally, I hate movie covers on books. I always try to buy the original book cover, especially when the movie sucks. I don’t think they ever did that to the Harry Potter covers, not that I’ve seen anyway.

    I'm surprised they didn't do a video game for the movie. If they can pull off a board game they can certainly do that.

    Well the makeup is just for us lowly few who cannot produce our own natural sparkle. ;)

    I wonder how many trees were harmed in the making of the Twilight series… And to think, they could have been purifying our air instead of polluting our minds.
