Is Twilight foidslop?
The 2008 vampire romance that people made fun of for years and now rewatch every fall, half ironically.

Twilight got mocked constantly when it came out in 2008, for the sparkling vampire, the blue tint, and Kristen Stewart's lip bite. Since then a lot of the people who mocked it have come back around. The first movie gets rewatched every October and the baseball scene set to Muse has its own fanbase.
People in their thirties still argue about Edward and Jacob.
Twilight started as a 2005 novel by Stephenie Meyer about Bella Swan, a teenager who moves to rainy Forks, Washington, and falls for a vampire named Edward Cullen. The first movie, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, starred Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. The five films made more than $3 billion worldwide, and the 'Team Edward' and 'Team Jacob' shirts were everywhere.
Around the time the films hit streaming again, a new wave of fans and returning ones turned it into a nostalgic favorite. Lines like 'Hold on tight, spider monkey' and the 'Supermassive Black Hole' baseball scene became meme material. Pattinson and Stewart went on to serious careers, which made it easier for people to admit they'd liked it. Most people still think the books' central romance is a little alarming.
Yes, because
- It was called slop in 2008 and it's vintage slop now
- The fall rewatch is a tradition
- The Edward versus Jacob argument never ended
No, because
- It made a huge amount of money
- The soundtrack is genuinely good
- It got a whole generation reading big books
