A Critique of Breaking Dawn by ~OIEA4:iconOIEA4:

Artist's Comments

this is a visual representation of my feelings about Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in the Twilight "Saga" by Stephenie Meyer.
.................yeah.
the book sucked.
it was as if they asked some random person to read the first three books and then write the crappiest fan-fiction they could possibly come up with as the fourth one.

a few of the many reasons it sucked: ((SPOILERS))
1) everyone was out of character.
2) the plot was stupid and weirdly sci-fi. (what with the mutant vampire baby slowly sucking the life out of its mother)
3) Meyer clearly stated that vampires have NO bodily fluid except venom (i.e. no sperm! she's breaking her own rules)
4) Edward turning into a psycho wimp during Bella's pregnancy.
5) Bella suddenly becoming this mature, motherly saint.
6) Ridiculous sex. I repeat. Ridiculous sex.
7) Jacob imprinting on the baby?!?! WTF?
8) "Renesme"....Nothing further is needed here.
9) Meyer always makes it out to seem like everyone's going to die.........and no one important ever dies.
10) "my brother, my son" o_o
11) REALLY anit-climactic climax.
12) cheesey, everybody's happy ending.

---UPDATE---

deviant Kitsoa has mentioned a few things that i'd like to add to the list-o-reasons:
---how perfectly sue-ish Bella was as a vamp
---I got a serious \"Demonic-and-perfect-child-that's-gonna-turn-on-everyone-and-take-over-the-world\"--vibe with that stupid and sickening baby just because of how alluring she was to everyone
---the horrible simple-sentence writing
---unnecessary characters
---Meyer took a serious turn away from her theme and message completely.
---the special things about the romance between the two was completely lost.
---there was no sacrifice for that stupid happy ending (struggle and sacrifice are two different things)
-------------------------------------------------------------

don't tell me you liked it because i don't care that you liked it. as far as i'm concerned, anyone who liked it has terrible taste in literature and apparently didn't read the first three books in the series.
sorry to be harsh. don't take it personally.

---UPDATE 2---

at the time that i made this animation, and wrote all of the above comments, i was still under the impression that the other books in Meyer's series were good.
that opinion has since changed. thank you.

--------------------------------

Disclaimers:
Stephenie Meyer owns Breaking Dawn. and she can keep it.

"Sloths don't live underwater."
"...Not yet!"
:iconsasukee23loveeer:
Okay, I have to agree with you on this, because all the things you said about it is just true, I mean, is like she wrote it in one day without thinking clearly on what to write -.- like, she made us to wait patiently for Breaking Dawn to come, and when it finally came, everyone was like OMG!!! and when I read it I was like: hell, did I wait all this time for this? wow.

Anyway, pretty funny animation XD

COMISSIONS: OPEN! :heart:
note me if interested!<3
:iconduani:
THANK YOU.
I tried explaining this to people and got mobbed by fangirls.

And let's not forget the RIDICUOUS amount of dramatic plot points Meyer tried to cram into the story. I mean come on. Everybody was in crazy-hyper-panic mode for the entire thing -.-

With endless love, we left you sleeping.
Now we're sleeping with you.
Don't wake up.
:iconxsavannahxx:
I like the animation, but I don't agree with you[Don't read this if you really don't mind my oppinion], Just because i promised myself i would be happy with any Bella/Edward ending, and i got my Bella/Edward ending, some parts were little weird,I don't think i Could've guessed the Baby-part because Edward is a dead person, But i Really Don't like Jake, to pushy, so i love it he got a crap-ending, though i Really Love Nessie. And on some parts you're right, to many dead-people, i think, I wouldn't care for a dad Rosalie because i really hated her, so OOC.

But i'm not going to tell you any more details, 'cause you were clear with the Don't mind part, huhhuh =)

Again, love the animation, as always^^

I'll walk the seven seas when I believe there's a reason for you to do this. </3
:iconmidnightwish13:
I agree with you fully, and completly.

Maybe coming outa the closet wasn't such a good idea...?
...S...put this
...I... on your
...L...signature
...V...to stop Silver
...E...from being hated
...R...It shows that you care.

i liked the book, but i do agree on a few things
such as...
#1
#4
#9
#10
#11

the plot kinda seemed out of the blue as well, it was like... WOW O.O .... where the hell did that come from????
I must admit though, Jacob's point of view was probably my favorite part of the book, gotta kick out of the chapter titles and just the fact that he was the only one not freaking out and still sort of in character
:iconbelieve-intwilight:
I agree with you in some points but I think the poeple have had an exagerated reaction. Everyone has expected different things, but you can't say "I don't like it. I'll burn it because it's a shit", of course. Stephenie has her own style and she had written waht she thought was better and go with her feelings to finish this vampires story.
So, I think what you've made is totally out of context

Believe in me, believe in the twilight♥

Saluda a la alquimista de todos los tiempos
:iconyumiko-kato:
Yes! Another animation from you! :D

Anyways, I haven't finished reading it yet (a little over half way through). I guess I'm not as addicted to it as the first 3, yes?

But I do agree with the your points # 123456. The rest I haven't really gotten to or just erased from my head. As for Jacob imprinting on the baby... >.> Well then. *speechless* They should have had a son, I wanna see Jake try to imprint on THAT. (I've lost my sanity.)
