People Are Re-Watching The ‘Twilight Saga’ And Realizing How Crazy It Was, Here’re 40 Hilarious Memes About It
This weekend, the entire Twilight Saga hit Netflix, leaving fans and the fresh aficionados of this vampire-themed—can I call it ‘classic’?—romance glued to their screens. The 2010s hit stirred the nostalgia for our careless teenage years and sparked the long-forgotten rush of seeing Bella and Edward navigating through their complex love story, weird adventures, and trying to stay alive.
Have we finally learnt to appreciate this weird fantasy saga? It seems like it. So, as a tribute to that, fans are now sharing some of the most hilariously spot-on tweets that capture all the insanity that Twilight really was.
And it all poses the question: how on earth didn't we see just how bonkers this golden nugget of cinematography was at the time?

Back in 2018, the Twilight Saga celebrated its 10th anniversary with a very typical division that once again separated fans from its skeptics. People who rolled their eyes 10 years ago are rolling them again. But it takes one glimpse at the Netflix top 10 chart, and you realize what a controversial (master)piece the vampire saga really is.
After its initial release on Friday, the five Twilight films immediately made their way to Netflix’s top 10 most-watched list. As it currently stands, Twilight (2008) is in third, New Moon (2009) is in sixth, Eclipse (2010) is seventh, Breaking Dawn: Part 1 (2011) is eighth, and Breaking Dawn: Part 2 (2012) is 10th.
But contrary to what we see today, the beginning wasn’t an easy one for this fantasy saga. When Twilight first premiered, no one could know if Stephenie Meyer’s hugely successful teen novels would transfer to the screen. After all, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were almost unknown to a wide audience. Plus, director Catherine Hardwicke had a sprint of 44 days to shoot with a tight $37M budget. Have in mind the usual rate at the time was more like $200M for similar CGI-fantasy-action movies.
On Twilight’s opening weekend in the United States, it turned out that the emo crush was bordering on mass hysteria. The film made a jaw-dropping $69M by Sunday on Twilight’s opening weekend in the US. Mass hysteria started and critics couldn’t believe the success of the story that was aimed primarily at girls.
Melissa Silverstein of Women and Hollywood commented on this phenomenon to The Guardian: “The part that shocked Hollywood was that the film’s stunning success was fuelled by ‘girl power.’ The general consensus in Hollywood is that films and books made for men and boys are seen as ‘universal,’ and things that are made for women and girls are somehow seen as ‘other.’ Women are seen as a ‘niche’ audience. This ‘nichification’ of women has been one of the most enduring problems facing the much-maligned chick flick.”

Normal people: I have actual personality traits Bella: My personality is loving Edward and being clumsy

I mean that's not Jacob's real name, those are the fake docs Bella had made for him and Renesmee, and in the book Bella specifically chose that as Jacob's fake name because she thought he'd find it funny.

Wait. Don't they need another passport for Renesmee for when she's suddenly a decade older in two days?

HAVE THESE PEOPLE NEVER READ THE BOOKS. HIS LAST NAME IS BLACK, BELLA CAME UP WITH THAT LAST NAME FOR THE FAKE ID AS A JOKE.

well. when you think about it... cullen and cold ones sound alike and that's what vampires were called in quileute stories so. but i bet most of the wolves and/or vampires wouldn't actually *have* last names, no need for them honestly.

Somehow related, reminds me of Harry Potter's only werewolf named Lupin. So creative.

If she didn't become a vampire or had a vampire by her side she would have slipped over spaghetti and died in school cafeteria or fell off a cliff accidentally because she was so lost in whatever made her so uncomfortable or something like that.

The shoe under the person in the front made me think he had a third leg for a solid 30 seconds.

i always wondered about period.. at any given day a girl must have been on her periods in that school.. how did he cope with that? and how did edward and jasper cope with bellas period, if her blood smells so much better than everyones else?! and do alice and the other two vamp-women (gosh forgot thier names) still have their periods? i guess not, so THAT would be the sole reason to become a vampire for me

Everybody read it in Kelly's voice. Twilight love story(ies) more toxic than Kelly and Ryan's.

Jacob Black: Bella, come on! You can spout that crap to your blood sucker, but you don’t fool me! I can see what that thing’s doing to you. It’s a killer, Bella!

I never read past the first few pages of the first book, saw the first movie only when MST3K did it. That said, back after the third book came out (or so?), an in-law gushingly asked me what I thought of Twilight. My reply: "Perfect for soccer moms with a stalker fetish." And then 50 Shades came out and I had to realize Twilight wasnt really that bad...

My best friend loved the books and dragged me to the first movie. She then asked me how I liked it. "Uh... the forests were really cool. Great location!" I have not seen any other of the movies and most of these memes here fl over my head.

Alright, I have never read/watched Twilight when it first came out, but this makes me want to do it. What else are weekends for, right?

This love story makes me think about when your grandma tells you how she met grandpa "he followed me everywhere and would not accept no for an answer, he even scared my crush and best friend" all with a smile and shinny eyes. Grampa was a creep.

In one of the films Bella gets a paper cut and Jasper nearly loses his s**t because of the smell of blood. Wtf did he do being around women on their periods? How did he not kill all the girls at the high school?

I tried to read the series for the memes, so I could fill my friends in on how ridiculous it was. Breaking Dawn? More like Breaking Point.
