The Twilight Saga vs. The Vampire Diaries: Part II

 

Welcome to the second part of our investigative series into similarities and differences between the Twilight Saga and The Vampire Diaries.

Almost all readers are familiar with the former, of course, as Robert Pattinson and company have become an international sensation.

But what to make of the latter? Fans have been wondering if the upcoming CW drama is merely a rip-off of the Twilight franchise. As mentioned in yesterday's analysis of Edward Cullen vs. Stefan Salavtore, that answer is no; The Vampire Diaries novels were actually published long before Twilight.

    Twilight saga is the worst vampire/warewolf based story.lol lol lol.,
    I never heard of any vampire sparkle in sunshine.sunlight is fatal for vampires.
    From my birth (too much, I guess) I have been hearing that vampires die by wooden stake in their heart, not by tearing and burning their bodies.
    How the hell newly turned vampires are stronger than older one, too unbelievable! Werewolves are supposed to turn on full moon only, not some crap like, you can change on will with smile.it takes more suffering and pain.
    I think v.d is way better than that weird, lol, junk, trash, cracked twilight saga. [no offence;) ] twilight sucks, v.d rocks. And also, edward looks sleepy and lazy and clumsy and jerk.
    Alright, I am coool now!!!:)

    There's no comparison... honestly, Twilight is a vapid, shallow and basically a piece of literary (forgive me) crap. VD isn't the best book series ever, but it has strong, interesting characters that you grow to care about (as opposed to the "insert self here" character that Bella is, and all the other characters that basically have no personality whatsoever (excluding certain tolerable characters like Alice, Carlisle, Rosalie)) and the entire thing is not just about love and turning into a vampire. There are complicated subplots and twists and turns. Oh, and people die because the author is a GOOD author that can kill off her characters (ahemm, end of Breaking Dawn... I mean, seriously?). I do have to give S.Meyer props for her... interesting interpretation of the vampire/werewolf myths... however I myself prefer the original stories and non-sparkly men. As for the theatrical adaptations, VD is a sexy, alluring drama where Twilight is a boring, awkward set of movies filled with bad a

    DAMON VS JACOB?? I MEAN IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION???
    DAMON HNADS DOWN
    now thats just stupid
    i get edward vs stefan and bella vs elena
    but jacob vd damon?
    Damon is like flipping clark kent gone wrong
    hes wayyyyyyy stronger, hotter and of course sometimes hes all cocky but thats what makes him damon
    and he belongs
    i repeat belongs with Elena

    They totally complete each other. Stefan is just a sub, lets hope elena realizes its damon for her and the door for stefan!!! i agree with davenight and govampire diaries
    theyre totally right
    Damon makes this show for me, without him i would die
    Its all about Damon Salvatore.
