The Twilight Saga vs. The Vampire Diaries: Bella vs. Elena
As we've chronicled in two other investigative specials this week, the upcoming CW series The Vampire Diaries shares many similarities with the Twilight Saga.
While both franchises focus on vampires and love triangles, however, there are also significant differences. Compare and contrast Jacob Black with Damon Salvatore to see what we mean.
Now, in the third part of this series, we take a look at the two high school hotties that are in such demand: it's Bella Swan vs. Elena Gilbert!
SIMILARITIES:
- Both are crushed on by a vampire; (spoiler alert!) eventually become more than human; have dark hair; are 17 years old when their respective franchises begin.
DIFFERENCES:
- Bella lives with her father, Elena's parents are dead; Bella has a private mind (so Edward cannot read her thoughts), Elena pours everything out into a journal; Bella is an only child, Elena has a younger brother.

One is a TV series the other a movie to different fields of entertainment but still TVD is better. For one elena is hotter plus edward couldn't beat snow off a rope, c'mon a for a guy with the power to read minds can't predict someones movements in a fight. pretty lame. plus the fact that bella is so annoying. Then you have the werewolves. They're just overly large dogs in twilight, a proper werewolf is half man half wolf kinda like how a centaur is half horse half man. Twilight is a joke to vampire legends nothing corresponds with previous movies about vampires and stuff.

all u twilight fans NEED to watch tvd! it is soooooo much better than twilight! bella is pathetic but elena is a strong, independant young woman. damon is so much hotter than edward (who reminds me of a girl). if damon and edward had a fight damon would definetly win!

I mean that TVD is so much better than Twilight. Cause in TVD there are more thing there is Exithing. in twilight it is just a girl moves to forks, love a guy. marry him. have a baby.
but TVD is soo better.
I love the vampire diaries.

The Vampire Diaries is obviously better than Twilight. Vampires that sparkle? Really? That just made Vampires look as scary as a disco ball. While Vampires that burn is so much better. It actually scares you.
Elena is also better than Bella. At least she didn't jump off a cliff and spend more than half a year wasting her life on a rocking chair when a guy left her. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
VAMPIRE DIARIES ALL THE WAY! Love Damon!

vampire diaries is far more better than twilight.Twilight is plane predictable and so so boring.Edward cullen can never stand up to 'THE DAMON SALVATORE'.Twilight,does it even have a proper story.I Mean these vampires dont even have fangs for crying out loud n they shine like a disco ball under the sun.It is the first ****ing vampire movie in which they do even show blood other than from bellas cuts.So dont compare TVD with the most boring vampire movie/book ever twilight
