Damon Salvatore, The Vampire Diaries Call Out Twilight!
We gotta hand it to The Vampire Diaries.
Accused of being a rip-off of the Twilight Saga, even though the aforementioned book series came out prior to Stephanie Meyer's novels, The CW hit winked at the controversy this week.
During an exchange with another character, Damon Salvatore - played brilliantly by Ian Somerhalder - puts down the book he's been reading and says:
What's so special about this Bella girl? Edward's so whipped!
We almost spit out our Strawberry Kimi Gatorade at the line. Damon then says the book "has it all wrong," regarding how humans are turned into vampires. It was a funny, unexpected moment; one we hope Twilight fans have a sense of humor about.
Considering the rave reviews Somerhalder has been receiving, it might be more apt to now ask again: Who makes the hotter pretend vampire?

Ok this is wat i think.... I LOVE Twilight i really do but i Love the Vampire Diaries as well so i feel bad to take ones side over the other but if im being honest i would have never even thought of watching Vampire Diaries if it wasn't for the Twilight Saga so really Twilight was my first vampire love. And Edward i love love lol but hes extremely beautiful where as Damon is soooo hot! So Damon is the HOTTER vampire!!xxx

In the hotter vamp vategory: Ian wins. The end.
Because both are convincing actors, but Ian is more attractive.
In the series rift.
Twilight: Its a slower paced, love based story, with not that many sub-plots. I personally think that its too love centric but I devoured the book none the less.
Vampire Diaries.

I totally agree with 'Love Them, Hate Them'. That is the best solution or whatever you can come up with. I LIVE for Twilight, I BREATHE it but I still agree that Ian is better at Damon than Rob at Edward because of the age difference. "Love Them, Hate Them' got it as it is. The idea is right. It's because of the age thing. Rob doesn't suit Edward, no offense to him, and Ian only suits the TV V.D. version, because frankly, Ian doesn't look evil enough to be book Damon. Although, he is perfect for the TV series. He is HOT but looks a bit too... good. Anyway, that's what I think. I enjoy both books and suggest you all quit your yapping and agree. No offense meant to anyone, by the way. GO VAMPIRE DIARIES!! GO TWILIGHT!! see, I am totally neutral. like Switzerland. ;P

Yeah, I know I already commented but I want to say some more stuff. Yes, Ian is hotter than Rob. Why? Because Ian looks his age in V.D> while Rob is three years older than Edward.
Twilight doesn't suck even though it is very similar to Vampire Diaries. Basically, Twilight is a love story of forgiveness and forgetting. Bella is a loving person and over looks Edward being a vampire because she accepts him and is madly in love with him.
Taken Elena and Bella would both die for their soul mates, Elena loves Damon for his looks while Bella loves Jacob for what type of a person he is.
The circumstances are way too different to compare. Point taken that some Twilight fans are love-sick h=girls who want Edward because he is hot and will get defensive when they read some of the comments here, but I know that both are amazing books, no matter how similar. Twilight is a story of love, not thrill like V.D. so if you are looking for some heartfelt love with a knight in shining armour, pi

Look, V.D show AND books are awesome, k? I read Twilight before V.D. and I was surprised by how the story is similar to Twilight Saga. What I am saying is that the show is great, even though the girl reminds me of Bella but the book is completely different. THe vampires sparkling may sound weird but it makes them beautiful in their own way, no matter how silly it sounds. Damon is way more powerful than the Volturi but the vampires' powers are seperate. Not everyone has mind power and animal shifting. Stephanie Meyer has basically taken the abilities and put them in stacks. So guys, Damon doesnot exist. Ian does and he is hot! Edward also doesn't exist, instead the weirdo looking Rob does who as a 20 year old was casted as a seventeen year old, so you can see why he isn't an Edward. I am sad that Damon and Edward both don't exist but the thing is that they are supposed to be our own imagination. The actors just give them another look which thwarts off our own opinion. And vampire diarie
