zelda_queenProjection Room Voices: Time for another chapter! "Chapter twenty-one, in which Bella and Edward go hunting and Bella is even more of a Sue. Details involving her baby follow".
Lita: *eyetwitches*
Alex: And why, if I may be so bold as to inquire, were we chosen to take up or predecessor's mantle?
Projection Room Voices: Because your predecessor killed herself with a spork and we're still working on that problem.
Lita: How do you "work on" someone killing themselves?
Projection Room Voices: Just get going. Starting Media in 3...2...1...
Chapter 21: First Hunt
Lita: Well, at least the titles make more sense.
Alex: Right. The sooner we tredge through this cesspool of literary fecal matter, the sooner we may return to our bunks. I, for one, would like to spend the remainder of this day off sleeping.
Lita: Cool. Well then... *flips through previous sporkings and series notes* When we last left Bella, she had just turned into a vampire and become even worse of a Sue, turning incredibly beautiful and spouting a bunch of weird stuff about all the new stuff she could see and hear. She and Edward go out to get some food, probably in the form of some deer or something.
Alex: The chapter begins with our intrepid alleged heroes making way for their unusual meal. In order to reach the woods, Edward feels it necessary for them to leap from an upstairs window. Bella, for all of her supposed bravery and newfound power, is quite overwhelmed by this. Edward offers to carry her out of the window, which further underlines the quite disturbing Freudian imagery with which we are dealing. Specifically, Bella is concerned that her new brother-in-law Emmett shall laugh at her should she stumble in the landing. How lovely that we have such an admirable heroine for the ages.
Lita: I dunno, if it were me I'd tell Emmett to get stuffed. Or, you know, ignore it.
Alex: Indeed! And it also appears that Miss Alice Cullen had somehow managed to dress Bella in a dress of "Tightly fitted ice-blue silk". I...see. I suppose that there is no impropriety in one's sister-in-law dressing you while one is lying naked and unconscious on a table...
Lita: Woot! So yeah, she asks why they don't just take the stairs and it turns out that Jacob and Renesmee are down there. Jacob and Renesmee huh? Hey Alex, didn't ZeldaQueen leave a note in her will to be careful of that?
Alex: Indeed. It is coupled with the instructions to *scans will* "have a gallon of brain bleach at hand*. Whatever does that mean?
Lita: Not sure. Anyway, they jump from the window and of course Bella gets it perfect, first time. Apparently Meyer figured that an all-perfect Mary Sue one-upped a Purity Sue with a goofy flaw. Edward tells her "That was quite graceful–even for a vampire". Wow, this author is shameless. Oh, and apparently she's wearing stilettos. I don't blame her for taking them off and chucking them back in the house, but how come she didn't realize she was wearing them before? They're kind of easy to notice. We also get Alice complaining that Bella's fashion sense "hasn't improved as much as her balance".
Alex: I find Alice to severely test my patience. Does she honestly consider it such a crime for Bella to remove such ridiculously impractical footwear as she leaves to devour animals in the forest?
Lita: Looks like it. We get more Alice disapproval a second later, when Bella puts a rip on either end of the dress up to her thigh to jump across a river. Emmett and Jacob also laugh and I don't blame them. This all sounds really stupid!
Alex: Considering how eager Alice is to burn through wardrobes, I find it quite silly of her to care about such things. In any case, I repeat that Bella will be hunting in the woods. Does Miss Cullen really expect no damage to come to the garment?
Lita: So yeah, she fusses about jumping because she's afraid she'll hurt the tress. Dude! They're trees! Finally she gets across and of course her leap was twice as long as Edward's was.
Alex: I find it revolting that it is rubbed in our faces so often how wonderful Bella Cullen is! It reminds me of a certain Miss Rose Potter, who casually mentioned at every opportunity how she achieved wandless magic by her first year and only went up from there. And we get it once more, when they run through the forest and find that every one stride of hers is equal to three of his. She compares her running to flying and continues to use a ridiculously number of elaborate adjectives to describe it all.
Lita: They finally stop and Edward starts briefing her on what to do. She finds it more interesting to stare at his lips. Focus! She mentions that the thirst gets in the way of pleasant thoughts like "Edward's lips and kissing", which really makes it sound like she only wants to get some elk jerky because the thirst is distracting her from her horny thoughts. And when she closes her eyes to listen and smell for the elk, Edward starts stroking her face again. What is with these people? Can't they go for more than two seconds without pawing each other up?
Alex: It appears not, dear friend. These individuals have no sense of dignity or modesty. We continue onward as Bella halts in her quest for elk as she catches the delectable scent of a human hiker. She finds herself most tempted by his scent, however comes up with the ingenious plan to...hold her breath?
Lita: Yep. And then run off. Edward follows and man is he surprised! He keeps asking how Bella did "that" and she is all confused about what he meant. And you people have to see this to believe it.
"'I'm not laughing at you, Bella. I'm laughing because I am in shock. And I am in shock because I am completely amazed.'
'Why?'
'You shouldn't be able to do any of this. You shouldn't be so… so rational. You shouldn't be able to stand here discussing this with me calmly and coolly. And, much more than any of that, you should not have been able to break off mid-hunt with the scent of human blood in the air. Even mature vampires have difficulty with that–we're always very careful of where we hunt so as not to put ourselves in the path of temptation. Bella, you're behaving like you're decades
rather than days old.'"
Alex: Ah, that is...quite Sue-like... a very odd thing... how in the world did this dunce of an author - and I use that term loosely - justify this? There is no reason for this!
Lita: The writing quality sucks too. "I'm laughing because I am in shock, I am in shock because I am amazed"? I don't think a robot would talk like that!
Alex: Bella mulls over this interesting - for her at least, I fear that I can not care less - development and finds...herself wishing to be quite romantic with her husband.
Lita: What? They're in the middle of the woods looking for food and she wants to make out with him? Can't she think about anything else?
Alex: Indeed. It appears that this thought may have crossed Ms Meyer's mind to some degree, for Bella quickly recalls her thirst and runs off to devour a hapless animal. She finds a "great cat". Great cat? Does she perchance mean a cougar, the only large cat species in North America? If so, then why does she not simply say "cougar"? Does Ms Meyer believe the name of cougar to be under copyright law? Or is she so lazy that she simply cannot be bothered to look it up?
Lita: Bingo.
Alex: And please correct me if I am wrong, however does hunting a predator instead of an herbivore not harm the ecosystem? And are not cougars somewhat protected as a species?
Lita: Bella eats the cougar and gets all upset and fussy when she finds out that she's still thirsty. Edward was apparently still worrying about here. I have no idea why, she's a vampire. Apparently this series has it so that they are ridiculously difficult to kill! Is he still treating her like a baby? Man! And they still find time to make sexy comments to each other, as Edward notes how much he likes her torn-up dress. When Bella complains at the thought of eating deer which apparently smell worse, he says...wait a second here. He actually suggests in jest that she go back and eat the hiker since deer are gross to her. "Whoever it was out there, if they were men, they probably wouldn't even mind death if you were the one delivering it...In fact, they would think they were already dead and gone to heaven the moment they saw you".
Alex: I cannot believe my own ears! What disgusting...how could they...
Lita: People, look at this guy! According to the series notes here, he's killed and eaten people before. And he's suggesting to Bella, who just was turned and supposed to be highly tempted to do stuff like that, that she go and eat a dude! And then has the gall to imply that said dude would be thrilled to be eaten by a bloodthirsty vampire in a torn-up dress.
Alex: *dryly* Yes of course. Because Lord knows that when one is about to be messily devoured, one certainly takes the time to note exactly how attractive the attacker is.
Lita: And Bella doesn't even respond to it, besides rolling her eyes and telling him that she's off to eat a deer! And so she does, we all get treated to a prose-filled blow-by-blow of her and Edward chasing down and chomping on some mule deer. And jeez, everything about Edward's so perfect isn't it? Well that includes him eating deer!
Alex: Mm, that is right, females find nothing more attractive than the sight of their lover draining the blood from a frightened and struggling animal. We have a moment in which she reflects on how she feared watching Edward hunt before, as "seeing him hunt would finally make him look like a vampire to me". Her actual reaction is...quite different.
"If course, it was much different from this perspective, as a vampire myself. But I doubted that even my human eyes would have missed the beauty here. It was a surprisingly sensual experience to observe Edward hunting. His smooth spring was like the sinuous strike of a snake; his hands were so sure, so strong, so completely inescapable; his full lips were perfect as they parted gracefully over his gleaming teeth. He was glorious. I felt a sudden jolt of both pride and desire. He was mine. Nothing could ever separate him from me now. I was too strong to be torn from his side."
Alex: Indeed, everything this sparkling statue of blandness inspires poetry worthy of Homer or Shakespeare.
Lita: And I love how seeing him chewing on a wild animal makes her all weird and possessive of him. Nice to know she's so clingy. And "proud"? Oh yeah, she'll probably have coffee with Rosalie and Alice and brag about how her husband is so much better at eating deer than their husbands.
Alex: By this point, Bella has recalled that she has a daughter who was intended to at some point or another provide us with conflict. She requests an audience with her and takes Edward's hand. And they begin to kiss once more. To the point at which she forgets her question. I...er...well I suppose that in the scheme...attention span of a newt...one could take into account...what about her daughter?... she is a sex-driven demoness.
Lita: And she's also unbelievably arrogant about it too. Just look at this!
"Maybe this was the part of me that I'd brought forward to be intensified in my new life. Like Carlisle's compassion and Esme's devotion. I would probably never be able to do anything interesting or special like Edward, Alice, and Jasper could do. Maybe I would just love Edward more than anyone in the history of the world had ever loved anyone else."
Lita: Wow.
Alex: ...
Lita: So what, each person has only one trait that they bring with them to their vampire lives? Nice to know that Meyer's got her people all dumbed down! And normally I'd agree about Bella's sediments that she wasn't interesting or special, except *holds up series notes angrily* it says right here that she's apparently the only person in the world who Edward can't read the mind of! Doesn't that make her think of something? And love Edward that much huh? Well...I really can't think of anything worthy of that.
Alex: I...I...
Lita: *leaps forward and duct tapes Alex's mouth shut*
Alex: Mmopho dumpherdorf!!!!
Lita: Sorry about that, but this thing is nearly over and I don't want an hour-long rant that I know you were about to let loose. Let's just sum it all up with this clip from the Drawer O' Stuff, shall we?
Lita: Much better. So yeah, Bella only stops trying to screw her husband in the woods because she realizes that her human memories of Renesmee are fading. She describes them as "artificial" and "[n]othing seemed real that I hadn't seen with these eyes, touched with these hands". Again, wow. She really hates humanity, doesn't she?
Alex: Yeriihoousw! Trweeqwoph! Tyeeswe edertkjqnhdws mjust jnopt ghe ketyq!
Lita: I'm sure they are, Alex. But the point is, we are done.
Projection Room Voices: Thank you both for being such wonderful sports.
Alex: Itr wqwaw no iswswue.
Lita: No problem. Just...get someone else next time? I'm running out of duct tape and need to buy more.
Projection Room Voices: That's fine, we have something lined up.
Lita: C'mon Alex, let's go pull that stuff off of your mouth.
Alex: Spooehjdeid!

Die die die you boring, evil, god-mode Sues. How the hell did Bella get into that dress anyway? Graceful, even for a vampire"? That does not make sense, wasn't she clumsy? The...the hikers? How? What? *splutters with rage and confusion*
TASTE MY HOLY SLEDHEHAMMER!

Date: 2010-03-06 05:37 pm (UTC)I guess Meyer just couldn't stand to keep up her little fake flaw when she could have Bella be oh-so-perfect. It was pointed out though that the clumsiness was more or less abandoned in this book. It's kind of nice, but then they start harping on about how freaking graceful she is. *sigh*
And yes, the hikers. I get the feeling that if she would have eaten them, the Cullens would have been like "Ah, that sucks. We'll try harder next time".
Thanks for reading!

Date: 2010-03-07 08:58 pm (UTC)Plus she also has it in "Midnight Sun" that Alice *lets Edward tell her who she cannot talk to*. That's right, he says she can't talk to Bella so she doesn't. She even tells him to let her know when she can. HOW is that strong?
(no subject)
Date: 2010-03-07 09:33 pm (UTC)Not to mention that Edward successfully bribes Alice into keeping Bella hostage during "Eclipse" by offering her a new car. Once again, that goes against Alice's characterization in "Twilight." During the scene where Edward, Bella, Alice, and Emmett were speeding away from James, Edward shouted at Alice and yelled that he didn't want to hear about any other options, but did Alice back down? No. She calmly stood her ground and persuaded Edward to calm down and listen to Bella. Why she couldn't stay like that, I have no clue.
