The books weren't bad at all ...

1. A guy can do literally anything, claim anger, and gets a pat on the head like a little kid, scot free.

2. Chick whose boy friend or husband or what ever cheated on her. (His Fault) HE takes (Did they have a kid?) with him. (His Fault) Life throws every kind of shit imaginable relationship wise at her, (Not her fault). She complains ONCE. Che, fuck you bitch, you deserved everything you got, in fact, you know what? You're now unable to give birth. Get out of my sight you not woman THING. (Did I mention in ANY other series, she would be the sympathetic character?)

3. Dog boy, or, imprint on baby guy. Loses Mary Sue to Diamond boy, is basically put in the same position as Chick with the bad boy friend, bitches and moans about it, GETS A FUCKING PARADE FOR HIMSELF, BASICALLY!!! And what about the chick with the bad boyfriend? Shat upon even more.

Would you like to retract your statement now, or do you want a few other reasons?

All I'm saying is that it takes more than a few hours at the computer after a little brainstorming session to come up with four complete books. They weren't the greatest, but they weren't bad. Bad books don't ever become popular, they just die or never get published in the first place. Four published, successful books in a series deserves even just a little praise, don't you think?

Bad books don't ever become popular.

But bad Movies, Singers, Songs, TV Shows, and Video Games do? (Your point is disproven.)

Have you ever heard of 50 Shades of Gray? The book Twilight caused to be written?

50 Shades of Gray certainly didn't die or NOT get published.

I understand your argument, and what you're trying to say, but Twilight just doesn't deserve that argument due to what it is, and that the demographic it is pointed at, isn't even human. (I don't believe that Tween-Age girls, ages 5th-8th grades, deserve to be called human.)

Ok if you insist, in most cases, things of poor quality do not become popular. And I also highly doubt that Twilight is the cause of 50 Shades of Grey, and if it were to cause anything, it would be the slew of romantic vampire novels that were published after Twilight's popularity. While I'm not a fan of tween aged girls either, they are still human, and they do purchase books such as Twilight. It's being bought the most by it's target demographic, so at least it accomplished what it set out for.
