Talk:Volturi confrontation/@comment-30806668-20161221001254

I love teasing the kids I teach that the entire Twilight love story was absolutely awful and that my shoelaces are a much better love story that Edward & Bella.

But I also love telling them that the entire story of Twilight wasn't even about Bella and Edward at all...it was all about Alice. I mean seriously, who did the Volturi want at the end? Alice. Who saw everything coming and was considered both a threat and asset (depending on who you were talking to)...Alice. Who helped the story advance and keep more people safe than anyone else? Alice.

What did Bella honestly do? Whined about almost everything people tried to do for her. Couldn't do anything for herself, went manic depressive when her boyfriend left her, changed personalities ike Taylor Swift changes boyfriends, basically turned her entire world into the single minded pursuit of a single boy, continuously put herself in a position to be killed by just about anything (serriously, I'm surprised that blades of grass didn't have a conspiracy to kill her eventually), and was really just about as useful to the development of the story as Harry Potter was to his (he was useless to his saga as well).

I would much rather have seen a story told about someone who really needed more time for people to grow close to, like Tanya. Now THERE was a story worth writing about, and yet we got so little about her and her family. That's why I started writing a story for her after the Volturi confrontation. I mean, I just felt so bad for her. Kate had Garrett at that point, Carmen and eEleazar were still there, but who did Tanya have? No one.

I'm fixing that. And not some short little fan fiction. I have almost a full novel for her story.
