Personally I'm team Alice. That girl did everything to protect Bella AND she was so much less drama then Mr. "Ill kill myself if you dont love me" and Mr. "I watch you sleep"
“I enjoy the twilight movies, but my least favorite thing about the twilight movies is the twilight movies” is fucking poetry and you’re SO RIGHT jane solo movie when
As someone said in another comment, Jacob says in the books that he takes off the shorts and ties them to his ankle when he changes. NOT ONLY THAT, he says that they have shorts stached all over the woods for emergencies
NOOO omg 😂 imagine your out in the woods and it's like mega spooky and suddenly a giant add wolf runs past you with some fucking Jorts tied to its leg😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's LITERALLY The #1 Dad like on those cheesy mugs. He was created to nurture moody teenagers. I actually think he's supposed to represent the Mormon religion as a character though.
At this point in the MMCU (mike's mic cinematic universe), in a post pll-breakdown world, you're basically screwed if you haven't seen the rest of his videos as the canon references are 50% of the viewing enjoyment.
A.N maybe this is a marketing strategy to isolate non-pll breakdown watchers from new videos as they can't understand references thereby forcing them to watch previous content in order to enjoy the new. Man doesn't have a masters for nothing
The side characters and world-building in Twilight are great, but Bella and Edward are not it. Literally the most awkward, static, uninteresting characters. The entire time I read the series I was just like "woah, Alice and Jasper were in a cult" "woah, first female werewolf" "woah, Esme and Carlisle crazy doctor miscarriage un-aliving romance" and then no pay-off. Like, here's this interesting thing, now back to the cringe underage romance.
I fr wish the story was about Bella and Alice (or at least Jasper and Alice) and the other Cullens. It could be actually good and Edward could just be weird side character who’s comically melodramatic.
This is why I was obsessed with twilight fan fiction in middle school but could never stand to read the actual books. I loved the world and all of the side characters but Bella and Edward are so fucking boring I could barely read through a page without my ADHD screaming at me to do literally anything else
I think a lot of people were Team Jacob just by process of elimination because they didn't want to be Team Edward but we're so conditioned to believe that characters need to be in a romantic relationship at the end of the story that no one thought of the Team No One option
Personally I think they were Team Jacob because of the first two books and then just held on for dear life as smeyer ruined Jacob's character for the rest of the series
The Cullen house is actually in an extremely wealthy part of my hometown (where all the twilight movies were filmed). It was listed in 2010 for 3 mill but is probably now actually worth about 10 million dollars due to crazy Vancouver property inflation. I was in high school when they were being filmed and remember trying to crash the filming locations with my friends during class because most of the forest scenes were filmed in the forests directly bordering my school/ hometown. Good times good times. (also i think the house may be for sale currently so s.n.a.t.c.h that shit up quick)
@mmm watcha say I went to see the house recently and there are cameras and signs telling people to go away.. I felt bad and left very quickly 😂 it’s completely understandable though! Who would want strangers creeping around their house all day..
Listen, I stand by my point that Eclipse has story wise the most interesting parts and characters? Rosalie with her backstory? Pure genius. The love triangle between Emily, Leah and Sam (?)? Dramatic gold, just amazing. The whole army of the newborn vampires? Holy shit, amazing. But that love triangle between Edward, Bella and Jacob can go drown.
Okay but imagine the rabbit hole he’d fall into if he started reading the books! There is an absurd amount of lore and mundane moments that were cut out of the movies!! I’m here to remind you of Bella and Edward at lunch during school. Bella asked Edward if he can eat human food and he deadass tells her that he can eat it but it’s gross and he’s gonna have to throw up later!! Then he eats a bite of pizza like bitch what. Bella is entirely amused by the vampire oddities that they discuss while just hanging out it’s wild.
@Keoels honestly it’s not that far fetched for Edward, a century old virgin from the 1910s, to almost combust at the sight of a knee length skirt. That mf probably drooling over a sight of ankle
@Nįkė Mārajé i honestly had to close the book after i read that and have a moment of silence for poor bella. A LONG KHAKI SKIRT?! absolutely unacceptable unhinged behaviour from miss Stephenie Meyer. there are insane shit in the books but nothing impacted me so greatly than that outfit. in no decade or universe is that outfit decent. i like to believe edward was making fun of her in that moment and being sarcastic when he said that to her.
Alright, take a trip down memory lane with me. I went to see the Twilight: Eclipse premier with my older sister. The most excited people in the theatre were 3 Spanish speaking men with salt and pepper hair in what seemed to be their work pants and matching Twilight - Team Jacob shirts. They also helped shush the audience as we got excited 😂😂.
I need to say this. The pace at which you talk and the edits between sentences is perfect. It’s literally perfect. I think at the same pace as these videos
Seriously ... between sexually assaulting Bella and emotionally blackmailing Bella with suicide, it's a miracle Edward didn't freaking kill him. No other guy would be patient enough to put up with that. Plus some of the stuff which happens with Jacob at the end of Breaking Dawn. How does Jacob survive the Twilight saga?
When I was first watching all the twilight movies, i straight up skipped Eclipse and did not notice. I had no prior knowledge of twilight, I thought it was just a weird time skip-- New Moon ends with a proposal and Breaking Dawn starts with a wedding, like all this drama and for what. Nothing happens.
First time I read the series I was 12 and was Team Edward (cause rob pat duh). Second time I read the book, I was 17 and was Team Jacob (cause book Edward was a first rate creepshow fr). Last time I read the book, I was 22 and became Team Alice. Such a character development journey for me lol
If I remember correctly, the jorts thing is that pre-empitivley, the wolves have stashed emergency jorts in the forest around La Push and Forks. And also before they transform and hide their pants in more jort holes. So imagine ur walking in the bush and u see a blue thing out of the corner of ur eye and upon further inspection, its jorts
You and Mina Le are becoming my two favourite channels on youtube. I feel that you both do pop culture commentary so well, albeit differently. Keep on rocking!
Edward and Jacob in this movie give big divorced dad’s passively aggressively insulting each other while dropping their child off for the others custody week. They are NOT on good terms for some dumb reason, but they’re definitely still in love and only angry at each other because they’re too proud to express their feelings and instead act upon their own suppressed sexual attraction and romantic passion via passive aggressive anger. Rob would agree, i think.
In the books the werewolves have a band wrapped around their ankles where they put the shorts where they transform. In the book, Bella had that same question about the shirtlessness but its all talked about. Stephanie Meyer leaving no plotholes behind.
I hate that I know this but when Bella becomes a vampire she tries to wear contacts to hide from Charlie and the venom on her eyes (lol) keeps dissolving the contacts so she can't wear them for long. She also has to remind herself to blink a lot and move slowly which is fun vampire lore. Love to imagine the Cullens constantly forcing themselves to move in slow-mo.
I was always team Jacob (when I was a teenager) and my aunt would always say that when I get older I'd become team Edward. I was ADAMANT that this was not going to happen. I'm now 24 and can confirm that I have moved over to team Edward
I was 22 when the first movie came out. I felt like I was in on the joke, but now I'm worried about the children who were exposed to this franchise. I hope you're all ok.
Living in a post-PLL recap world and all of its references and sound bytes being part of the canon now is so amazing. We are lucky to live in these times.
My main takeaway from rewatching Eclipse is that Jacob is insufferable and I have no idea how I could’ve ever had doubts about what team I was on. I mean Bella made adult and irreversible choices with a horny teen brain and fell in love with a man with whom she shared no visible hobbies or interests apart from staring into each other’s eyes. But still. Jacob was SO-
I was always team Jacob. Mostly because I was a closeted lesbian and thought picking the muscly guy would make me look straighter. I am now team Alice.
I didn't know I needed this so much until I found it. Love your content, and this is the thing that keeps me sane while the slowest apocalipse drags on turning worse and worse as these last few years go by. You are a ray of sunshine!
That "siren" from Hell's kitchen is actually a cymbal (or perhaps a different piece of suspended metal) played with a bow on the edge. Just because I think that makes it so much cooler.
It is my deepest shame tht I once loved Jacob and Alice. Jacob is scary and Alice goes nothing but force Bella to do things she is uncomfortable with. Team Rosalie what an icon.
My husband made me watch all the twilight movies recently because I had only watched the first one when it came out and LITERALLY you have said all the thoughts I had while watching it 😂 Edward did not deserve the actual nonsense of Bella and Jacob
As a kid I didn't get the whole team Edward or Jacob thing, my strat was literally 1) get turned into a vampire by pretending to love Edward 2) date Jacob to get close to wolf pack BC they're cool then break up 3) everyone's my friends and I'm immortal 4) turn my family into vampires so they don't die 5) ALICE (this was added once I realised I was bi at like 13) So basically, Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, Live forever Y
Yeah. Why must I choose between these two weak musty men? Whatever I choose, I am not going to be in the winning position at the end. Twilight's love triangle is like presidential elections.
Bella cut her arm open to distract Vicki and Riley bc it parallels the tribe story Jacobs dad told about the third wife who like k worded herself to stop the cold one from killing the last spirit warrior to save the tribe, jeez
I'm so late on this video but I love how much you focus on the non-bella parts of this. I need a full twilight recap that makes me forget bella swan exists and it's all just the vampire werewolf politics.
It just illustrates why Jacob shouldn't even be an option for Bella. If a wolf doesn't imprint on you, leave him in the friendship zone. See what happens to Leah. It's just a bad idea, since he might end up imprinting on Bellas baby or someone else's baby. Who knows.
I don't know if this is good writing or just off the top of your head improv storytelling, but 10/10. So good. I was going to comment my fav quotes but there were too many lol.
i love this movie because it gives you no breaks. also my mum once tried to rent a house and she kept calling the real state agent sebastián although he made it very clear his name was santiago and it's forever recorded on whatsapp video. so this gave me the same energy 🖤😎
I love that you mixed Veronica and Victoria because I think of Veronica Hastings and I imagine our PLL liars in the Twilight universe. Jane would make the Ultimate "A"
mike i just love your videos so much. they make me so happy! also the little housekeeping updates at the end of what kind of content is coming soon i really appreciate, i fee like most ppl on the platform don't do that but i like to be in the loop so thanks!!
Mike I don’t know if you realize(I’m sure you do) but the reason you’re blowing up is because you actually take time to make sure you put out quality content instead of just uploading.. also hurry tf up with the glee video or I’ll skin you alive ❤️🙏
I cannot for the life of me conceive why watching you tell me what happened in these movies and tv series is more enticing to me than actually watching them... BUT I'm here for it!
Honestly Twilight is like Harry Potter. Harry Potter is fun when we get to see the Hogwarts stuff but not really Harry and gang. Twilight is fun if you take out the dumb “love” triangle. Also the way Ms Meyers could’ve made Jasper a union soldier or a blue coat instead of a confederate.
I literally started binging the twilight movies for the first time last week. I now have the essential pop culture knowledge I need and this video timing couldn’t be more perfect
When I was a teenager and I saw this movie in the theater, I couldn’t stop laughing when Jacob was hurt. They were all talking to him like he was literally dying. Meanwhile, if one of my siblings broke an arm and two ribs, my mom wouldn’t even call to tell me
Miss Steph *HAD* to make Jacob totally unlikable because people in her mind HAD to prefer Edward. She knew she made Jake too kind, sweet and good for Bella in New Moon 😂 she needed people to side again with Mr Eddy
No fr I used to be team Jacob, pre becoming enlightened and being Team nobody except maybe Alice. Like he was so nice... It's like Stephen in Vampire Diaries, or Elijah in the Originals, literally WHY would anyone in their right mind choose Damon or Klaus .???!?!? Like if that's your vibe, slay, but fr they are so crusty.
@Iwanna Talkalot It's probably both. We're told in the story young wolves have trouble controlling their emotions. Jacob became a very angry person, and that in large part likely explained some of the toxic behavior we got from him in New Moon and Twilight.
