The Volturi are quite possibly the worst antagonists ever. I mean, if meyerpires (I refuse to call them vampires out of respect for Bram Stoker and the guy who wrote the Hellsing manga) are so incredibly powerful, then why the fuck do the Volturi just sit around doing nothing rather than establishing the new meyerpire order over mankind. Even if their main objective is maintaining order among meyerpires, they let the main characters get away with far more crap than is logically acceptable (as Stephen King wrote in the final comments for Full Dark No Stars; bad writing is when the author has the characters react in ways that don't suit the situation (not the actual quote but it's close enough)). On a related note, take Aro for instance. He's perfectly fine killing his sister to keep what's his name in the Volturi; but doesn't want to force any of the Cullens to join him because he doesn't want to lose Carlise as a friend. I swear to God, Dr. Evil and Darkhelmut from Spaceballs were more competant villains than Aro...and scarier as well.
