Talk:Volturi confrontation/@comment-72.76.247.44-20130123213107/@comment-7600752-20150110004116

Although there WAS a fight scene in the NEW MOON movie with Edward and Felix, there was NO fight scene in the book. Meyer has said if there had been a fight scene in the book, Felix would have easily dispatched Edward, then they would have killed Bella. Meyer believed that the Volturi were just too powerful to overcome. I believed she thought the same true for BREAKING DAWN.

However, if you go by the book for BREAKIND DAWN, the Cullen side had a great plan. Bella's power became stronger in the book. Not only could she shield one person - she could also shield her entire group. She could also shield JUST them - the shield would literally wrap itself around the people she shielded - so it wasn't like this huge shield bubble that the Volturi could get through or underneath. This was a HUGE benefit in the book. This meant as long as Bella was unharmed and undistracted, she could shield EVERYONE on her side agains the gifted vampires of the Volturi. This meant that gifted vampires on the Cullen side would still be able to use their powers against the Volturi. Zafrina was going to blind everyone on the Volturi side that she could reach. Kate was going to shock Jane, kill her... then move on. Many of the Cullen side probably would have died. The Volturi just had WAY too many strong warriors who have had centuries of experience. However, going by this strategy, I would say that the Cullen side would have definitely won. Going by that Bella survived to keep her side shielded, Zafrina kept everyone away from Bella - and that Kate used her power to shock, then kill the most dangerous members of the Volturi.

Going by the movie. It was clear that Bella's powers NEVER matured the way they did in the book. She was unable to shield the entire Cullen side like she did in the book. Nor did the Cullen side make a plan like they did in the book. Instead, they just went running willy-nilly right into the Volturi's hands. Funny how when Irina was killed and her sisters wanted to seek revenge. But everyone stopped them from going for the Volturi. Yet, when Carlisle is beheaded, everyone thinks it's then proper to go charging right in without any type of plan. So, without Bella's power working as it did in the book - and taking on the Volturi without any type of battle strategy or plan - I think the Cullen side is definetly doomed. It's clear that the Cullen's got some valuable strikes. They destroyed Aro, Caius, Marcus, Demitri, Alec, Jane, and other strong, valuable vampires. However, the enormously strong vampires of the Volturi were still left to deal with. In the last part of the Volturi battle scene, it's clear that the guard overtakes Bella and Edward - so we should assume that both were destroyed by the Volturi Guard.
