This is not surprising. Andrew could finish off Edward.

Hell yeah, Angel could take him!

Heck, even Sealy could take Edward! And then Temprence could take him apart and study him. :)

my only response is this image from the BSR a few days ago...

Once, while having sex in a tractor-trailer, part of Chuck Norris' sperm escaped and got into the engine. We now know this truck as Optimus Prime.

Funny, I watched that clip and what I got out of it was Joss being surprisingly candid about his man crush on Pattinson.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Considering the very thinly-veiled abusive nature of the Twilight 'relationship' and the not-at-all veiled simpering codependence shown by the female lead, I'm seriously disappointed famously-feminist Joss had anything good to say about it.

I think these comments are hilarious. Don't worry, PhoenixRose, the only thing Joss says that's remotely nice is his tacked on "no offense, 'cause he's hot."

Oh Joss. Thank you for being secure enough in your masculinity to say funny stuff and not be over-concerned with pointless homophobia.

Vampire-human relationships are always patently ridiculous and offensive, and part of the major reason I DON'T LIKE VAMPIRES. They're corpses. Stop pretending like they're sexy or romantic! Jumping Jormungand on a POGO STICK.

I'm puzzled by that as well. Before I saw the vid and just read the comment I figured his lack of negative to Twilight was a smart move. We all know his views, and can easily assume how he could feel towards Meyer's material (thiny veiled indeed), but its not the smartest thing in the world when you are in the industry to be negative about a massively popular frachise. Even if you are in your own little fandom niche (Stephen King did come out and say something but come on, he's Stephen King).

But then in the vid he said he saw it and said he loved it and the whole vampire/mortal thing brings about a very primal emotion.... and I became very confused and disappointed.

Because every single female character he as ever created would tear Edward to peices and probably knock some sense into Bella.

I didn't watch the video yet, I take it that's more positive than the posted comments?

Yeah, what Ash said. I could have understood if he didn't want to out-and-out trash it, the comments about "Angel would kick his ass, but no offense, cuz he's hot," were indeed funny, and not really slamming the franchise, just digging at it in a giggly way. But yeah, the whole "I loved it, oh *squeal* she just loves him so much," crap... Really, it irks me. Ever since all the fuss about Twilight when I first tried to read the terrible, terrible book, I've had a few images pop into my head of Faith dusting the hell out of Edward, and telling Bella to stop whimpering with a nice smack to her noggin. I'd kinda wondered if it was just me.

It's not just you....

I should also say that the creator of this video is a 'aspiring feminist guy' who's written quite a bit in response to the popularity of his video. All of it you can pretty find links to in the FAQ of his website. What I've read is really good and I admire his approach.
