When the vampire's away, the werewolves will play. "The Twilight Saga" is more than a fine romance — it's become an official obsession.
As the second film in the series, "New Moon," releases Friday, fans of the vampire romance will be lining up all around Tulsa.
Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), along with the rest of the world, has fallen for vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), and she'll have to pick up the pieces when her beloved suddenly leaves Forks, Wash.
Enter Bella's best friend and Edward's near-enemy, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).
Series author Stephenie Meyer has created a classic love triangle, and two sides have rapidly emerged. So who's better, Team Edward or Team Jacob? You decide.
Team Edward
He’s romantic, chivalrous and
above all, dreamy. For many fans,
it’s hard to tell where Edward
Cullen begins and Robert Pattinson
ends. For Team Edward members,
the two are blissfully merged
into one seriously swoonworthy
heartthrob.
“(Bella and Edward) just fit. They’re the
puzzle piece, and they complete each other.”
Danette Mangum, Tulsa cosmetologist
“I’m always going to be Team Edward. I like
Jacob OK, but I’ve been a little disappointed
with the advertising for (“New Moon”).
It makes it look like Jacob and Bella’s
relationship is really romantic. I saw a poster
with him embracing her and stuff and that’s
not how it really is.”
Ashleigh Stafford, children’s lead
bookseller at Barnes & Noble, 8620 E. 71st
St., and creator of the local book group,
lifeaftertwilight.com.
“I’m fascinated by Edward. I think he’s
absolutely captivating. After the movie was
over — I went with my daughter on her
birthday — I didn’t want to leave.”
Rohna Riley, Tulsa
“He’s great and sweet to (Bella), and he’ll
do anything for her.”
Rosalie Butcher, 15,
Booker T. Washington student
Team Jacob
He’s the boy next
door and adorable best
friend. Unlike Edward,
Jacob seems easy and
uncomplicated. That
is until the moon comes
out, so to speak. But Team
Jacob fans like reliability
and trust he’ll always be
loyal to those he loves.
“He’s really sweet. I like him more than Edward. And he can transform (into a werewolf).
That’s cooler than being stone cold.”
Teirra Thompson, 15, Booker T. Washington student
“I originally was Team Edward, but I have to say I see the point of Team
Jacob. I see why he’s so great. What I’ve found is more people my age
— I’m 26 — are Jacob fans. I think Edward is just so much more
romantic. Jacob is more real.”
Kelly Singleton, library associate at
Helmerich Library
“I like that he’s sweet and cool, but I also like
Edward.”
Kelsey Thompson, 12, home-schooled
“I like Jacob because he’s like real and
he’s not afraid to be honest with Bella. But
I like Edward because he’s perfect in every
way.”
Krista Dillingham, 16,
Webster student
