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.”

    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?

    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.

    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

    I still don't quite get why he didn't look up sooner, all the folks in red must have been thinking "Wtf this crazy lady doing in the fountain"...depressed or not that would at least warrant a glance.

    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!
