As a person who actually LIKES the Twilight series, (it's hilarious crack, really) I usually just sit to the side and watch while people rage about certain things from the books, but I'm pretty tired of this whole "Bella has a shield of love" thing. I'll just quote the lovely Cleolinda since I agree with her views on it:

"A lot of angry Twilighters have complained that Bella has a magical "shield of love." See, the thing is, the phrase "shield of love" is never used, and I don't think it even has anything to do with love at all--the mental block is something she's been doing unconsciously ever since the very first time Edward laid eyes on her in Twilight and couldn't hear her thoughts. Obviously, she's going to use it to protect people she loves. But she also uses it to protect people she met all of three weeks ago. Hell, she uses it to protect Dracula 1 and Dracula 2. You can complain that she's a Mary Sue because her power is the bestest and strongest of all, but it really does call back to the first book, and it doesn't have anything to do with love."

*nods*

	You're right; I misremembered through fandom osmosis. I'll be more careful in the future. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

Sorry if I came off sounding like a jerk about it. Since the New Moon movie came out I've been kind of twitchy about Twilight stuff since people seem to be seeing the movies/reading the books and coming up with complaints about stuff that isn't even in it. I'm just like, "Seriously guys, there's TONS of stuff that's actually in the book that you can be annoyed by! You don't need to make up things about how Bella's trying to kill herself!" :D

Oh no! You were totally in the right. I want to be accurate, which isn't that hard since Twilight is so ridiculous already. I played horrify the Twilight n00b with some friends the other day and it was a lot of fun and all directly from canon. ("Did I tell you about vampire baseball yet? Oh, and Renesmee?")

Also, icon love!

Hahaha. I find it sad to say that I've looked at/heard the name Renesmee so much now that it seems like a NORMAL name to me.

I also love explaining Twilight stuff to people, especially the whole baby birth scene. The whole series is basically cheesy romance type stuff with a little bit of action thrown in and then you get to the baby and it's like BloodSpewing SpineSnapping RibCrunching StomachRipping HolyCrapIsThisACronenbergMovieWTF? I'm still pondering how they'll manage to get that in a PG-13 movie.

	Ha ha, yes! That's one of the best descriptions of Breaking Dawn I've ever seen. I'm sure the movie is going to be drastically re-written and the actors given huge raises to go through with, especially Robert Pattinson.

	Robert Pattinson must be a truly superb actor for being able say his lines with a straight face. "THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLER, BELL!" was bad enough. he apparently has even worse lines in New Moon. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

from the very start, she's been immune to psychic-based vampire powers. after she got turned, this got boosted into a wide-area psychic shield though initially she only had very limited range. when the Italian vampires came, she got a rage power-up that boosted the shield's range to be wide enough to cover all their allies but she finds out that it only protects people from attacks coming from outside the shield. she then figures out how to individually shield all their allies. mind you, both power-ups happen within a span of minutes.

the shield was enough to beat the Italians because their most powerful member has a psychic attack that causes great pain that incapacitates anyone its used on. the Italians were so used to their enemies not being able to fight back that they didn't know how to do a straight up fight and instead just backed off.

for the same reason why Cyclops was given the ability to shoot lasers out of his eyes or Kryptonians were given powers under a yellow sun. it's just what she can do.

it mystifies me why people are so preoccupied with why she's immune to psychics but no one seems to question why any of the other vampires have their powers.

	Being a mutant, Kryptonian or vampire is unto itself an explaination for powers. Bella was described as an ordinary human who had this power. So either I am totally being ripped off by my lack of ordinary human derived super powers or she needs some sort of explaination.

	the books state that some of the vampire powers were supercharged versions of traits they had when they were still human. Edward was already highly intuitive when it came to what people were thinking and that became full-blown mind reading after being turned. it never bothered me since the books had other, significantly worse problems.

	I go for the Spoony explanation: the reason why he can't read her thought is that she doesn't have any. Her brain's like a pea rolling around in a drum. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
