*gasp* There are actually people in the world who aren't head over heals for Edward
Okay, so many people love Edward, this gorgeous, fictional vampire, but there's also some people who don't. So, opinions, if you don't like him, why?
.. Okay, so actually I loved Edward in Twilight - he was perfect - but in New Moon and Eclipse, he just went downhill. Reasons why I think this:
1. Okay, so I knew he left Bella in New Moon for "her own good", but honestly, if you think about it, he was running away to protect her, but basically, he was just running away. I'm sorry, but I lost so much respect for him. He was such a strong, sure character that is in love with Bella, if he was a real man he would suck it up and stay with her, fight with her no matter what. Okay, sure, in the long run it might've been better for her, but I like my men to fight for me
, not just leave because they feel like the relationship would be bad or dangerous or something.
2. Isn't he just a little... too perfect? Sure, in Twilight he was perfect, but he was new, he was different, but after New Moon and Eclipse, he just seemed too perfect. With his gorgeousness, love for Bella, everything about him is flawless, and a flawless character, in my opinion, makes a character with a major flaw - perfectness.
3. He's PERFECT! -- okay, this I've said before, but anyways, I can elaborate more. For example, if you read Harry Potter fanfiction, or another fanfiction with an original female character that's as perfect as Edward is, there are people asking, "Why is this girl so perfect?", why is no one asking why Edward is so perfect? Because he's a man/vampire and all the fangirls want to marry him. Okay, we get it. He's perfect and a vampire.
4. Okay, so sort of a "real life" experience type-thing. One of my best male friends has a girlfriend that is currently reading the Twilight series, and she is constantly comparing him to Edward. I know that this is probably just her, but Edward is setting a lot of pressure on males and such. Like, for example, a few days ago, she was like, "I wish you were stronger, that way you could protect me from things, like Edward would." Okay, so it definitely is probably just her, but I do think that this wonderful, fictional character puts pressure on genuine, sweet guys in real life.
5. Okay, um hello, but isn't he a bit of a control freak? I understand half the time, he's protecting Bella, but he just suffocates her! Constantly, he's telling her what to do, what not to do, etc. etc.
Okay, I'm done rambling. Any opinions?
