Within the past month, I put a pick up on the vampiros Spot asking about people's favorito! book series about vampires. In the comentarios of this pick, I got into an argument about whether the vampiros of Twilight are actual vampiros (lame to argue about this, I know hahaha).
Specifically she was telling me that Edward wasn't really a vampire because "he has no fangs and doesn't need blood to survive, also the sun thing...". I replied saying that just because Stephenie made her vampiros different doesn't mean that they're not vampires. In the end we agreed to disagree.
Personally, I feel that the Twilight vampiros are so much better because they are different. I amor that they don't fit into the stereotypical definition of a vampire. It's actually really refreshing, I think. I like that they don't have fangs o need to rely on blood o any other difference they have from the stereotype.
I don't know why this bothers me so much. I mean, I just don't understand why a vampire has to fit the whole definition of a vampire to be considered one. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy other vampire books, shows, movies, etc. "Buffy" started my whole obsession with vampires.
I guess one reason it bothers me so much is because that girl I argued with dicho she only read the beginning of the first one. I noticed that in the comentarios of picks from the vampiros Spot, she was always putting down Twilight and bashing on it. I finally got fed up and dicho something to her, hence the argument we had.
Please tell me your thoughts: do tu consider Twilight vampiros to be considered vampiros even though they don't fit into the definition?
