Was Twilight not a huge, mainstream, industry transforming blockbluster? The film series pulled in billions of dollars, and led the way for quite a few high-grossing YA series adaptations.
- krapp 6y agoYes, but unlike with comics, the mainstream has never stopped mocking Twilight, its author or its fans, despite its success.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI'm not sure what you mean. I can certainly point to examples of actors, directors, and journalists who've said that comic book movies are dumb and everyone needs to grow up. It's not the socially dominant view nowadays, but I don't think Twilight hatred is dominant either.
- krapp 6y agoI think Twilight hatred is dominant, to the point of being a mainstream cultural stereotype. Comic books have mostly gained mainstream success, whereas Twilight, which has also seen success in its field, has never not been hated by the mainstream.
- true_religion 6y agoWhat about the "Twilight Moms", are mom's not mainstream? For that matter, I'm not sure what mainstream is if an entire generation of children doesn't fall into it.
