I think there will be a spinoff of Jacob and Renesme's life together.
My daughter is Dakota's double in the twilight movies and we didn't know about the twist! It shocked us when we saw it! LOL.

plants his flowers in a garden of stone
For seven years now she's been gone
and his devotion is still going strong.
I wanna be loved like that, I wanna be loved like that, a promise you can't take back, if you're gonna love me, I wanna be loved like that.
Can't remember who sings that song, boy, it's old.
I wanna be loved like Edward loves Bella, like Rhett loves Scarlett.
Most that I know are more bothered by Bella's dependence on him not so much with his devotion to her.
Just got back from seeing it and loved it!!!! So much better than the book. I always thought there had to be a better way to end it. I cried our when Carlisle was killed and dd did with Jasper. We both cried for Seth.
Best movie of the series. And kristen was beautiful.

When she went to the reservation to see Jacob against his wishes, he had Alice basically hold Bella hostage when he had to leave town to hunt. Sure, perfectly normal guy.
Lol. He is a vampire. Nothing is supposed to be normal.
teacherforhi said:I don't expect normal. However, it concerns me when teenagers start confusing possessive boyfriend behavior with devotion. Someone who tells you where to go and who you may associate with doesn't love you, he views you as a possession.
And yes, for the record, I know it's fiction. However, there are a great many people (teen girls in particular) who seem to believe that Bella and Edward have the perfect relationship and wouldn't hesitate to let a boyfriend treat them that way because it means he loves her.

I saw it tonight. I think I would have enjoyed it more, but there was a sick child in the audience. She appeared to be about two years old. She coughed and gagged constantly for a large part of the movie. It sounded like whopping cough to me. Finally, the mom dragged the little girl out during the big fight scene. Poor baby.
Kurby said:It's the same argument I'm seeing with 50 shades which started as twilight fan fiction
Despite the fact that 50 is really really bad writing the relationship is beyond Dom sub but controlling and abusive and its parents job to talk with their sons and daughters to say that while reading books like this is ok its not a relationship that is acceptable just because he's a billionaire or a vampire
In every young girl's heart, she does dream of that knight in shining armor coming to save her. She wants to be rescued and taken care of. Edward is just the man to do that.
If I believed that to be true, that every girl wants to be rescued and has no thoughts of agency or independence and this controlling, creepy, stuff is what every teen girl dreams of, I think I'd throw in the towel on humanity, heh.
I know a couple of girls into Twilight, but a bunch are not only not, they're as repulsed by Bella, Edward and the thing as most adults I know. They don't want to be taken care of and rescued; they want to take care of themselves and kick some butt.
Hence the popularity of Katniss. She's a mess (and that series falls apart like heck) but she's not useless. I know more than one mother who was very uneasy about Twilight (though their kids weren't at all admiring of it), but who was happy to spring for a bow and arrow and etc.
