“That happened almost 20 years ago.” Robert Pattinson can’t believe that people are still “stuck” on the opinion that Twilight ruined the vampire genre

by

17 years ago, the “Twilight” movie made its theater premiere, initiating the well-known series. The films enjoyed popularity that rivaled, if not surpassed, the books they were adapted from. However, while they garnered a multitude of fans, there was also a substantial number of critics who disliked the productions and claimed they had tarnished the vampire genre. Remarkably, this perception persists among many people today.

In a chat with GQ Spain, actor Robert Pattinson, famous for his portrayal of vampire Edward in Twilight, expressed astonishment that fans are still deeply attached to the film, more than 18 years since its debut.

It seems like there’s a recurring comment that goes, “Wow, Twilight really messed up the vampire genre for you, huh?” Have you not moved on from that yet? It’s hard to understand why someone would still be disheartened about an event that occurred close to two decades ago. It does seem a bit peculiar.

Regardless of how many years have passed, Twilight continues to stir up emotions as much as it did upon its debut. Fans of the vampire genre remain passionate about their criticism, claiming that Edward and Bella’s story tarnished the genre. Pattinson, however, suggests that after so much time has elapsed, such opinions should no longer hold weight.

It cannot be disputed that the Twilight series significantly influenced and reshaped the vampire genre during its time, leading to shows like The Vampire Diaries being produced with a similar focus on alluring and romantic vampires. To this day, no other vampire-themed production has matched Twilight’s cultural impact, making it stand out as an unparalleled achievement in the world of popular culture.
