[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9172316, member: 11760"] Speaking of nuance, what are you saying here? That the world building in the books make more sense than the movies or that some of the movies are better than the others or what? I saw all the movies and the parts of the world-building that didn't seem to be lifted from a skim of Vampire the Masquerade in a bookstore (something she denies, much like everyone involved in True Blood denies knowing about VtM) seemed to not really make any particular sort of sense. There are two things I'll say in defense of Twilight, though: [LIST=1] [*]If you're a vampire (sparkly or otherwise), a perennially overcast place like the Pacific Northwest is a pretty good choice of where to hang out, assuming you can get enough to eat, and [*]Twilight (and True Blood) deserve a lot of the credit for making it "socially acceptable" for non-geeky women to start openly liking geeky stuff. The Lord of the Rings, MCU and the Walking Dead did a lot of the heavy lifting for society at large, but Twilight and True Blood definitely helped kick down the door for women in particular.
