Has anyone else re read twilight after reading 50 shades and found they're opinion of Edward has changed? I used to love the first bit of twilight as a lovely romance as they fall for each other. I'm on the part where he goes to rescue bella from getting beat up when she goes dress shopping. And all i can see now is how dominating and strict Edward is! And he is! I can see where EL James got her ideas now. I never saw this side of Edward before. Now i can't get it outta my head. I feel twilight will forever be spoiled for me now :( still good but very different. Anyone else feel the same?

Oops x-post glad its not just me then :)

God i noticed there is alot of stalking going on. Your right. It's like i'm reading a different book this time around. The rose tinted veil has been lifted! And don't forget he keeps glamouring her to soften her up and bend her to his will!

I like the Twilight books and haven't read 50 shades books but I think its always seemed obvious that Edward was emotionally manipulative bordering on abusive.

He disabled her car so she couldn't visit friends.

He regularly threatened to kill himself (by exposure to volturi) if she left.

He would withdraw/allow contact between the two when it suited him.

And don't get me started on Bella with her rediculously old fashioned outlook on life...

But I shall overlook all of this as out is fiction after all :o

Have never been able to bring myself to read 50 Shades!

Fanofthe it's interesting that you picked up on that part of edward which totally went over my head. Didn't see him as dominating alpha male at all! Do now though.

I read amazing Wolfpack fanfiction instead now-can't read Bella/Edward at all! In most of the stories I like we agree that Bella was under thrall to vampire Edward and thus why she became vapid and weak willed!
Unfortunately that means I spend the films in a state of horror and denial!

tiggy114 · 11/11/2012 14:29

Thats what i'm saying. Since i read 50 shades and found out it was twilight fanfic, when i now re read twilight, all i can see is a really dominating male character! The sweet love story has now changed forever into a some what more adult thing all together!

The dreadful writing, poor plotting and unlikeable characters spoiled Twilight forever.

No because that is exactly how I saw Edward the first time I read Twilight.

She changed the names and released it as a book.

50 Shades Of Grey was originally Twilight Fanfiction.
