| IA. I like the HP covers just as they are.

Personally I think they are hyping this movie up way to early and fast. The movie is still 6 months away and its getting all this coverage, and when it comes time for the movie to come out and you watch it you are left disappointed because it didn't meet your expectations like you were hoping.
| That's what happened with Twilight. A lot of people thought the movie was so horrible and were disappointed after months of teasers and what have you that there was a huge backlash in the fan base. So now they have to really sell New Moon....hard....because they cannot afford to mess it up.
Too, they are releasing this stuff early to appease the ridiculous fanbase that exists within the realm of Twilight. Think of how the Dawson/Joey and the Pacey/Joey factions use to be in the glory days of Dawson's Creek and multiply that by a million. That is what the Twilight fans are like. They complain and they whine and they bash the characters and each other. I actually read a review of the NM book cover on Entertainment Weekly's site yesterday that said "Edward is an abusive vampire," all because someone said they didn't like the book cover  That really makes me angry because they call Edward an "abuser" and Jacob a "rapist" and it's like...do people really understand the implications of these words and what they really mean? They're not just names you call book characters that you don't like.
Honestly, I've found very few people in the fandom that I can do more than tolerate. And they're not always very accepting of people who are neutral about the ships. Personally, I prefer Edward and Bella, but I don't mind Jacob/Bella either. It's like here. I am ultimately PJo but I like the DJo girls and I think that DJo have their points. I don't have to like something to talk about it. I just like having intelligent conversations about fandom...which is something that Twilight seems to lack as well. |
