Гарри Поттер против Сумерек Вопрос

Am I really narrow-minded?

I was having a discussion about Twilight with my mum. I told her how I didn't really enjoy the concept of sparkly-vampires and how they had (or appeared to have) NO flaws. They weren't like other Вампиры except being blood-drinkers and immortal. I've always been TERRFIED of Вампиры (I've never liked reading/watching them and when I did, I had to cover myself up *shudders*) so when I read Twilight and I wasn't scared (no matter what Eddy said) it insulted me a bit. My mum replied, "Your limiting your imagination by adding these silly rules! No one has physically met a vampire, so they can be portrayed any way the Автор wants. Ты need have a broader imagination."
Do Ты think I, along with many other people, are just being narrow-minded and can't accept a change? Are we really ruining our imagination? :|

Meyer wasn't Письмо a horror novel, so she didn't make her Вампиры scary.

It is true that Вампиры don't exist. Saying that Dracula doesn't sparkle in the sun, so Twilight Вампиры shouldn't sparkle is also like saying Merlin didn't have any glowing scars, so Harry shouldn't either. There is no set concrete standards или criterion for things that do not exist.

I think it's true that many people can be еще open minded in this aspect, but I do not believe they are narrow minded. I think being narrow minded would mean that they refuse to know absolutely anything about them other than what they prefer to assume.

No, I don't think you're being narrow-minded.

It's your opinion whether Ты like something или not, and Ты have reasons why. Ты stated your reasons (or some of your reasons) on why Ты "dislike" Twilight, and if she couldn't accept that, fine. No matter WHAT creature you're Письмо about in a story, if they have a mind of their own, they need to have CHARACTER FLAWS, something Stephenie Meyer's Вампиры seriously lacked. (Nothing against Stephenie Meyer as a person, though!) Yes, Ты could say Ты COULD be a little narrow-minded about the whole sparkling thing in Twilight, and how the concept bothered you. But again, it's all a matter of opinion. If Ты don't like Вампиры that sparkle, that's your personal input on things. That doesn't making Ты any less creative - it just shows your likes and dislikes about your view of vampires.

But the fact about not liking Twilight itself, that's not narrow-minded. That's good sense. :)

Warning: I May Sound A Bit Biased Because I Любовь Twilight! However, I'm Rereading Harry Potter Because I Любовь Those Too!

Anyway, I Think Ты Are Being Narrow-Minded With The Fact That Stephenie Meyer's Вампиры Didn't Meet Your Expectations! But It Is A Bit Out There! So Yes And No! It Has Nothing To Do With Your Imagination Though! Just Because Ты Don't Like Stephenie Meyer's Вампиры Doesn't Mean Your Imagination Isn't Good! Really It's Just Opinion! A Vampire Storie With The Frightning Gore That Ты Expect Them To Have, Compared To The Cullens. . . Yeah, I'll Admit It's Defenaitly Changed! Ты Could Be A Tad еще Open Minded But It's Really Opinion!

Hope I Helped! :)

I doubt it. Вампиры can be portrayed differently due to different people's creativity, but Ты can't just change everything that makes a vampire a vampire. It's not being narrow minded, it's just reacting to a ridiuclous change. It's like if a certain aspect of your life that you're used to suddenly changes without explanation. True, a fictional creature has no rules that must be followed, but something that's been around for 100s of years, can't be that drastically altered by a writer, because it takes away what they are.

Certain mythologies go along with Вампиры - it's what makes them vampires. I've read other vampire novels where the Автор tweaked some vampire myths to suit her own version of Вампиры (Amelia Atwater Rhodes is a perfect example) and not been bothered. However, those other Вампиры had flaws and weaknesses, something Smeyer's Вампиры don't have.

I consider myself to be a very open-minded and accepting person, but even I (even when I was a fan) wasn't happy about Smeyer's vampires.

No. You're not. The Cullens are not vampires- they are blehblehblehs.

No, not at all. Both me and my sister Astrid are antis and my cousin is a Twitard and she's always saying that I'm not open to a change in the vampire and werewolf rules. But what Meyer's doing isn't even changing the rules, it's almost like she's trying to redefine the rules, set by authors that have Письмо skills (which she doesn't have).

Also, the Meyerpires aren't even Вампиры and the Meyer Волколаки aren't even werewolves, they're just glittery, bloodsucking Ken/Barbie Куклы and Animorphs, which aren't even worthy of being called Вампиры and werewolves.
