User blog comment:Mrs.Volterra/Why Are The Volturi Unpopular?/@comment-3336895-20110608180232

I don't think they're unpopular, just not liked. I think the fear of the fact that they want to stick to the old ways and not be more up to the times of wanting to co-exist with humans, like the Cullens, makes them the odd-man out, sort of speak. They are revered and respected by vampires, but not for the right reasons. They are the "police/lawyers/judges/executioners" for all vampires, so they are not well liked, but they keep order in this world. There is a hierarchy and they are at the top,but with that they lose focus and tend to start being more dictating, manipulating and use their power for bad. There needs to be a changing of the guard. That's just my thoughts on it. =D
