I'm not going to be a moron and say that Twilight "ruined vampires". Yes, we all know Twilight sucks. There really isn't a single thing for me to say about it that hasn't been said a million times before. It's stupid, yes, but you already knew that. What's really interesting to me is the fact that nobody has set out to "make vampires cool again". Or perhaps someone already has, but it was either unpopular or terrible or both, so I haven't heard of it. Despite the fact that I think there are MUCH cooler supernatural creatures than vampires, it would be pretty cool to see a deconstruction of the Twilight setting with vampires that are actually cool.
And you know, it's a shame, because the idea of taking all those old vampire and werewolf myths and placing them in a modern setting could be pretty interesting. Sure, it's been done a few times, no doubt, but it sucks that it's been sort of wasted on a subpar series. Now if anyone wanted to do something else with that premise, they'd be accused of ripping off Twilight, which is pretty lame.
But I'm not one of those crazy people. You know who you are. Screaming about how everyone who likes Twilight is "retarded" and how they should all die. Or screaming about how it's evidence of how fall society has fallen. All of you need to shut up, because you sound just as stupid as the people who claim that it's a literary masterpiece. It's neither. It's just a crappy romance novel. Get over it.
