I have some theories about Twilight Saga:
1. RPattz and Taylor, these hunks are gorgeous. Eventhough they cannot act, they're the ones that brought the characters to live. Like it or not, girls are holding to their existence so they could see Edward Cullen and Jacob Black in tangible way. (It's blurred when they say Team Edward and Team Jacob, do they mean Team Robert Pattinson and Team Taylor Lautner??). Be jealous, guys .. be very jealous. Cause you've got serious competition since girls tend to forget everything when they cross path with these two -everything including losing their mind, ignoring their boyfriends or husbands, calling Kristen a bitch just because Bella didn't want to choose (who can, anyway?). More likely it will lead into endless cynicism from the losers. I do believe some ego were bruised pretty bad. You can ban vampires and werewolves from your life, but do not forget, they're immortal. And so are the Twihards. Be reminded that this is imagination without limit. Better not putting yourself into misery of not knowing the reason why the saga roars.
2. The books are marketed for young adults, a.k.a. teenagers. Outside the target (read: adult men or women, critics, or some of the unusual teens, who claim to always have their feet on earth consciously) .. is accepted, but not expected. Teenagers love sweet romance and handsome characters. Their behaviours are notoriously extreme to whatever they believe in, for all the things they can dream about. Stephenie Meyer wrote the books based on her dream, you go figure. Instead of creating dark coffins and bloody fangs, she created sparkling vampires and the gentlest of werewolves. And a triangle love story between the mythical creatures and a human girl .. damn, she fools us all. No wonder the books irritate many people. It's all so perfect, it's impossible.
3. It's very tricky for the movies to live up to the books. But for the fans, it's irresistible nonetheless. They're willing to forgive any shortcomings because they just love it as it is. When the movies turned out bad in the eye of critics, who the hell care?? Even the critics who gave bad ratings - fans or non fans - watched the movies too, didn't they? For those who don't understand this, let me put it this way: Watch & Comment. (Not the other way around, or do the ugly Comment & No Watch At All). Do not say that the directors, actors and everyone involved in the production had no burdens in making the movies as best as they could, to materialize thousand dreams. Probably some of you have already read this.
So my point is:

So my point is:
I could only write down three points.
.. And in case anybody gets a little curious .. I am 30% Team Edward Cullen, 30% Team Jacob Black and 40% Team Bella Swan.
