The [[The Film of the Book|film version]] of ''Twilight'' was released in the US in 2008, with ''The Twilight Saga: New Moon'' following in 2009, ''The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'' in 2010, ''Breaking Dawn, Part 1'' in 2011 and ''Breaking Dawn, Part 2'' in 2012. There were also rumors of an [[Anime]], but they proved to be false. [[Manga]]-style illustrations of the Japanese edition still exist. [http://shelf-life.ew.com/2009/07/15/twilight-comic-book-manga/ A graphic novel] has been released and while it's not all that bad, it's not entirely... ''[http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/03/18/twilight-manga-review/ sparkly]''.
Summit Entertainment was recently purchased by Lionsgate, whose CEO has expressed interest in continuing the ''Twilight'' saga beyond ''Breaking Dawn'' as either a film series or a television series. See [https://web.archive.org/web/20131102173201/http://www.thedeadbolt.com/1003024512-the-twilight-saga-may-survive-beyond-breaking-dawn.html here].
'''Books in this series:'''
Line 34:
* [[All Myths Are True]]: Bella wonders if this is the case after learning about werewolves.
* [[All Women Are Lustful]]: Especially Bella. Other female characters display this trope, like Tanya and her succubus "sisters", and all the Cullen women seem to spend their nights having sex with their husbands.
* [[Alternative Foreign Theme Song]]: The Japanese version of ''New Moon'' uses [[Miliyah Kato|Kato Miliyah]]'s [https://web.archive.org/web/20111128163710/http://jvideo.info/videos/3184/ "Destiny"] as its theme song.
* [[Amicably Divorced]]: Charlie and Renee. They mainly split up because Renee couldn't stand Forks, and Charlie didn't want to leave. They're shown to be in communication regarding Bella, and on the rare occasion that they are together, they are quite friendly with each other.
* [[Analogy Backfire]]: In ''Eclipse'', Bella compares herself to Cathy of ''[[Wuthering Heights (novel)|Wuthering Heights]]'' and her love for Edward to Cathy's love for Heathcliff... seemingly forgetting there is actually an ''Isabella'' in the same novel who ''does'' marry Heathcliff... to [[Domestic Abuse|disastrous effect]].
Line 53:
** Considering the fact that sexual desire requires blood flow, there's no way vampires could have sex or sexual desire the way it's portrayed many times in the novels. Meyer says that venom serves the function of blood, but without a heartbeat? Not so much.
** ''Breaking Dawn''. Elaborating would practically be a page unto itself.
* [[Artistic
* [[Artistic License Geography]]: At one point, the book refers to the west coast of Brazil. The west is probably the only cardinal direction of Brazil that DOESN'T have a coastline.
* [[As the Good Book Says...]]: A completely out-of-context [[The Bible|Bible]] quote at the beginning of one novel.
Line 511:
* [[Viewers Are Goldfish]]: Stephenie Meyer has the irresistible urge to describe how unbelievably gorgeous [[Our Vampires Are Different|Edward]] is [[Purple Prose|over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over AND OVER]]!!!!! [[Rage Against the Author|We heard you the first time, Meyer]].
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Jacob and the wolfpack. "[[The Spoony Experiment|They might as well have called the movie ''Native American in Blue Jeans, And That's It'', and that might have sold it]]." Rather amusingly [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Edward in the third film. "Doesn't he ''own'' a shirt?"
* [[Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma]]: It happens [http://reasoningwithvampires.tumblr.com/search/comma a] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131115063230/http://reasoningwithvampires.tumblr.com/tagged/comma_abuse lot] in the books.
* [[Warm Bloodbags Are Everywhere]]: This series ''runs'' on this trope.
* [[Weirdness Magnet]]: Or "danger magnet" as Bella calls herself.
Line 525:
* [[You Keep Using That Word]]:
** Bella's skin is "translucent". Translucent means "Allowing light, but not detailed images, to pass through." Skin is slightly translucent, which is why, if a person sticks a flashlight in their mouth, their skin glows red. Why this is so noticeable and unique for Bella is never explained, considering it's a universal human thing.
** The words "murmur", "mutter" and "glower" pop up so often that [https://web.archive.org/web/20131121085601/http://community.sparknotes.com/2009/07/16/blogging-twilight-index-page this blogger] starts counting the number of uses in his later posts.
** It is hard to come by a place in the text where Bella uses the words "reason" or "reasonable" correctly.
* [[You Must Be Cold]]: because Edward is convinced Bella's going to go into shock and let's face it, [[Our Vampires Are Different|it's not like the cold bothers him]].
