Talk:Volturi confrontation/@comment-72.130.23.73-20130321015538

To everyone asking why Carlisle was killed, it's because Stephenie Meyer and the screenwriter of the films Melisa Rosenberg said they wanted to have a battle scene but were unsure how it would start. They thought Carlisle being killed by the Volturi would "cause all hell to break loose" and was perfect. Also Edward was supposed to be killed but Meyer said it would have been obvious to the readers and audience that it was a vision.
