I tried to read BD again, so it would be somewhat fresh in my mind for the movie.
Yeah, no.
I really hated it, y'all.
It's been said before, and I'll say it again -- it's like badly written fanfiction ('specially with that POV change. And to JACOB!? WTF?) from someone who didn't really know the books.
My main problem is the mutant spawn that is Renesmee.
A. She shouldn't even exist. SMeyer's explanation of why female vamps can't reproduce was this: Vampires bodily functions stop when they are changed. Making eggs is a bodily process, therefore no babies. I don't know if she just lacks the basic concepts of Biology or what, but making sperm is also a bodily function. Js.
B. She wasn't even cute. She had none of that baby sweetness to her, because she came out half grown. It's hard to fawn over a newborn when they're like, 25.
C. She didn't seem like Edward and Bella's kid. There wasn't a whole lot of bonding going on in the books. I think she called Bella 'mom' once. And did she ever even call Edward anything!? Dad, Daddy, Pop, Papi, ANYTHING!? Cause that's what would have been sweet! In my opinion, she seemed like Rosalie and Jacob's kid.
D. She was an imprintee. When a baby is that little, part of the magic of it all is that YOU are #1. No one compares to you. Edward and Bella's time as her superheros was all screwed up by creepy Jacob.
I could continue (all the build up for fights that never happened, Rosalie is the devil, Alice leaving, bringing in 2953 new characters in the last 100 pages, ect.) but I wanna hear from you.
Did you hate it? If so, why? If not, why? Any awesome AU/alternate ending Eclipse/Breaking Dawn fics you can recommend?
