[sarillia]

The repeated criticisms said in almost the same words all the time do get boring. I can usually tell when someone has seen the Red Letter Media reviews of the Star Wars prequels.

But the "vampires don't sparkle!" criticism of Twilight still makes me laugh when it comes from people indignantly ranting about what real vampires are like who clearly don't know as much about vampire lore as they think. I don't know how many people I've told or at least wanted to tell that Dracula could go outside during the daytime.

Yeah the killing Vampires with sunlight wasn't a thing until 1922's Nosferatu. I'm not a huge fan of the elements Twilight used but every creator leaves their own mark (like the game faces in Buffy)

[sarillia]

I love seeing all the different things people do with vampires. One of my favorites is Octavia Butler's Fledgling.

I'm very partial to the Vampire Genevieve created by Kim Newman under the pseudonym Jack Yeovil set in the Warhammer Fantasy world. (he also wrote Vampire novels under his own name).

Seriously!

Also, people who complain that Twilight's not Buffy or Dracula...

A. Buffy isn't Dracula either. I love Buffy, but it isn't.

B. The woman wasn't trying to write about a group of lovable Scoobies fighting a Big Bad. She wanted to write a teen romance series with a paranormal twist. It wasn't a particularly good romance series with a paranormal twist, IMHO, but don't accuse her of not doing something she never intended to do.

Seriously. Dracula wasn't killed by sunlight or a stake. It was a Bowie knife.

Granted, the sunlight might've helped, but I don't know that Stoker was using that set of rules from the folklore which says vampires can go out in sunlight, but they don't have powers beyond those of a mortal while doing so.
