These Twilight Lines Will Prove How Old You Really Are
Did we all speak differently those days?
The Twilight saga was the first introduction to fandom culture for many young people.
Obsessed with the romantic side of the story and Robert Pattinson 's looks in the film adaptation, fans got really invested in everything Twilight-related, from the upcoming movies with all the actors involved to the additional material about the world that Stephenie Meyer was willing to release.
Now that Twilight's core audience has grown up and seen the world from a different perspective, it's no wonder that some things in the story don't resonate as much as they used to.
Both the book series and the movies have been criticized for a fair amount of creepy moments and plot holes that don't really make sense.
However, loyal fans are willing to enjoy the story for what it is, if only for the nostalgic feelings it brings.
One person rereading Twilight recently noticed a very strange line that Edward Cullen says that doesn't make much sense.
The Reddit thread that arose from that line decided that we are all just too old to understand it now.
The topic starter asked if anyone else didn't understand why Edward was mentioning his "old-fashioned" way of speaking when he wasn't actually saying anything that outstanding.
It turns out that the things that seemed weird to all the readers when they were teenagers just don't seem so weird anymore.
Edward speaks politely, without a lot of jargon, but nothing that would send you to the dictionary.
"Or I could start, if you wish." "On the contrary, I find you very difficult to read." "Would she extend the same courtesy to you, do you think?"
If anything, he sounds like someone who finished his English thesis and had to add more words to make the count.
The charm of so-called old-fashioned vampire intelligence turned into college trauma with the years, and the ability to quickly grasp these words became another reminder of how much time has passed since 2005.
