Talk:Waylon Forge/@comment-5505682-20110107211921/@comment-7600752-20130801035100

The presence of Waylon Forge in the movie had a reason. James' Coven didn't show up till near the end of the novel although the novel does mention that there are murders taking place around Forks. As a movie, Twilight needed to introduce James' Coven earlier so the audience would recognize that it was James' Coven causing the murders, and not the Cullens. Waylon represented the average victim of vampire in the series. One minute, we see Waylon yucking it up at the diner with Charlie and Bella....then the next minute he's vampire food. There were many things added and removed in the film that was different from the novel. There was no class field trip in the novel. There was no blood typing in biology class in the movie. That ENTIRE chapter was removed from the movie. However, the movie still matches up pretty well with the novel. The script writers did their best to tell the story of the novel....and Meyer was very satisfied with the conversion of Twilight to film.
