We loved it and we hated it, we sided with team Edward and team Jacob, we disowned him when we realized (perhaps too late) that he told a very boring story, but, despite everything, we still remember the period in which the Twilight phenomenon had exploded with great affection and nostalgia.
Today we think of the Twilight saga as a guilty pleasure, a series of films (and novels) to be watched with the brain switched off to make fun of the gooey love story between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, to criticize Kristen's woody acting Stewart, to remind ourselves that the only characters who deserved a shred of affection were the misunderstood vampire Rosalie (the only one who occasionally sent Bella to hell); the apprehensive Charlie (whose coronary heart was blown by the protagonist) and the third wheel Jacob.
Although for all of us it is now just a guilty pleasure, Twilight has become a real cornerstone of pop culture, because after the Stephenie Meyer saga we have never seen some things with the same eyes again.
10 Times Twilight Was a Cultural Reset
1. When “the lion fell in love with the lamb“. Who hasn't engraved in their memory the words with which Edward and Bella first expressed their feelings for each other after discovering Edward's vampire nature?
Edward: So the lion fell in love with the lamb.
Bella Swan: What a stupid lamb.
Edward: What a crazy, masochistic lion.
2. When all of us readers have learned by heart what is written on the back cover of the first volume:
Of three things I was quite certain.
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, a part of him – who knows which and how important – was thirsty for my blood.
Third, I was totally, unconditionally in love with him.
3. When, after Edward showed Bella his glittery skin in the sunlight, we never saw Swarovski the same way again.
4. When in New Moon the camera translated the passage of time into a 360 degree turn around Bella.
5. When we all wanted to visit Volterra to find out if Aro, Caius and Marcus were really there.
6. When initially we were all team Edward, but then Taylor Lautner showed his abs in the rain in the cinema and we sided with team Jacob.
7. When in Eclipse team Jacob had a joy for the first time.
8. When, every time the word "imprinting" appeared in a biology book, we thought of the werewolves of the saga.
9. When Bella tried to seduce Edward on their honeymoon, but he tried to resist biting pillows at random because he was afraid of killing his new wife with f *** o.
10. When Renesmee in CGI was so ugly that even the cast was terrified of it.
