Thanks guy’s 😊 It was really fun watching all of the movies with y’all. I couldn’t get past the imprinting. I understood what the idea behind it was but especially knowing she would be fully grown at 7 really creeped me out.
The fight isn’t in the books the same way. You will never understand the gasp of horror at Carlisle in the theater opening night. I could’ve had a heart attack lmao
The way those of us who read the books experienced a double shock (the battle *actually* happening before our eyes…but then *actually* not having happened). After the initial shock wore off, I think it was a brilliant twist/move. And I absolutely love watching peoples reaction to the battle scene.
I was gasping the whole time 🤣🤣 I was with my step mom and sisters. We (me, stepmom and older sis) kept going “this didn’t happen in the book. Wtffffff????” 😂 so it was an experience
what a lot of people didn't realize is that in the ending Bella doesn't show him her memories, instead she drops her shield off so Edward could read her mind 😢
But by dropping her shield, he's able to read her mind and she SHOWS him their memories and what she was thinking in those moments when he couldn't read her mind. So she kinda DOES show him her memories and her thoughts associated with them
I mean, he always was Team Edward. I don't know why he decided for 15 minutes to be Team Jacob. Edward IS the chosen one, Jacob is just a distraction to make things interesting, lol
33:29 it’s not random tho. In the books Bella and emmett are really close, like siblings. And emmett’s gift is strength. So yeah, they chose him to go with for protection.
exactly. Bella is like Emmett's little sister, even more so than Alice. He's v protective of her and he's also a powerhouse, he used to fight grizzly bears. Lol
If you think about it, Carlisle dying first makes a lot of sense. All the vamps who gathered were doing it FOR Carlisle. None of them really knew Bella or Edward. Carlisle had been around the longest, traveled the world, and made lasting impressions on all the vampires he befriended. So for him to die first was essentially the spark that convinced all of them to 'go to arms'.
The dads were the secret heartthrobs for my friend group lol. It was less "Edward vs Jacob" and more "Charlie vs Carlisle". While Carlisle is nice and I think a little more attractive, I have to pick Charlie just for his sense of humor. That scene in the first movie (iirc) when Bella is going to bring Edward in and Charlie closes the barrel on his shotgun saying "Alright, bring him in" always cracks me up. But imagine if Bella had had a boy, Jacob stuff aside. The name... Charlisle, or Carlie. lol
this movie was so iconic purely because of the memes that came from it, rennesme’s bad CGI, to “you nicknamed my daughter after the loch ness monster?” to dakota fanning throwing the child into the fire, it’s just pure comedy
So the cgi baby.. was actually the _better_ version of Resume. In the books she’s described as a baby who has an adult-like aura and was born with “perfect square teeth”(nightmare fuel). So they made a puppet version that the actors controlled. It weighed ~50lb and was really uncomfortable. It was also SO disturbing they had to erase it in post and replaced it with the terrible cgi baby. Google the Renesme puppet and you’ll see what I mean. It’s kept in the Forks Twilight museum today. Apparently it’s haunted 😂
She was not described as having the face of an adult woman. It says the way she examined Bella was adult- like and that she was more aware and intelligent than a two day old baby would be. Her physical description is still of a child but Bella says she looks two months old instead of two days.
the ending is beautiful because edward could never read bella's mind which made him more insecure and doubtful if she truly loved him especially with jacob in the picture, so for her to be able to finally share her thoughts and memories was her way of showing him how she's truly always felt for him
I remember qlmost having a heart attack in the cinema with the fight scene because that never happened in the books. People were shouting and gasping throughout the battle and when we realised it was just one of Alice ‘s visions people were mad 😂
Can we appreciate for a moment that since the only reason Jacob loved Bella was because she had a egg inside her that would one day become Resume.. and sperm can live in the body for nearly a week and still be viable for pregnancy … Jacob def felt some kind of way about Edward on his wedding day 😂 this story never ceases to amaze me. This is what young girls were obsessed with back in the day 💀💀
Fun fact: Michael Sheen’s performance as Aro is what lead to him being cast as the angel Aziraphale in Good Omens! In an interview for the movie he defended the fantasy genre, mentioning Neil Gaiman as a particular favorite author of his. This lead to them becoming friends, and when the Good Omens show began production he was originally considered to play the demon Crowley. However, he was deemed “too nice” and cast as Aziraphale the bookworm angel instead. It’s so interesting how many domino effects these books caused.
No because the way I cried when Bella removed her shield and for the first time he could read her mind and see all their moments from her pov 😭😭😭😭 I still cry at this whenever I rewatch lol
whats so funny is i loved this series when i was like 11 and even then i was like "ew wtf" over jacob imprinting on reneesemee (or however u spell it) lol
I think they shouldn’t have made it romantic. If they kept it the way ducks imprint and it’s just an unbreakable bond and Jacob and Leah were a couple instead I think I would have really liked that. He isn’t in love with a baby but he will be in love with her and that is what makes it weird it’s a bit groomer vibes 😂
@@laurajaynenolan2149 He was there when she was born and his reaction was “Yeah, I’m gonna wife her up in 7 years” 😭 If anything, I don’t blame Jacob, I blame Stephanie Meyers 🤣
The Nessie/Loch Ness Monster line is in the book 😭 And, Rob is right lol they used cgi with the kid because the aging is so fast and they wanted the face to match. For infancy though it’s a little ridiculous lmao
The trauma of seeing this in theaters after reading the books was insane. My sister threw her popcorn at the screen and screamed NOOOOOO when Carlisle got his head whacked
In the books they say as long as Jake keeps shifting he won't age anymore, giving Reness time to catch up physically. Just how the original chief in the past dealt with the first vampires they encountered, he was already on his third wife (the one who cut her arm to distract the female vamp). If I'm remembering right, he went on to stop shifting and live the rest of a normal length life out with her. Something like that.
BRYCES FACE 😂😂 6:00 when Zuff says “so much came out of that bite for her little mouth” but then Rob and Bryce @ 6:08 after Zuff says “much bigger penetration” 😂😂😂😂 while Zuff seems unaware of his phrasing. Idk if y’all are familiar with Archer but every time Zuff says something out of pocket now I’m going to timestamp and just say “uhhh phrasing?”
You are right. Marcus, the volturi leader who said "finally", wanted to die. His wife/mate was murdered by Aro so that they wouldn't elope and leave the coven. In an effort to maintain power, Aro killed her and Marcus doesn't know it was him. And he doesn't want to live without her but Aro won't let him die. Even worse was that his wife was Aro's sister so Aro killed his own sister to maintain power and control of his coven and other vampires.
I just wanna remind everyone that this whole movie series, from start to finish, takes place over 18-24 months. Bella's only pregnant for 28 days. she'd only known Edward for 5 months before he leaves her. then another 3-4 after he comes back before they get married. that makes all of this even crazier to me.
It's not that bad. Many adults get married after only a year together sometimes less. I know a few, some are family members. but being that young is a bit weird but not unheard of.
@@ava.stroke yeah nah, all of it was way too crazy to happen over the span of just 2 years. highschool romances are really something else in fiction lmao
Bryce’s Edward shirt being identical on both sides just feels like the ultimate commitment after he turned the Jacob shirt around during Eclipse lmao Edit: Nvm, he said it himself
11:02 lol I love when Bryce starts going on about something and turns to Rob for a response only to have Rob be like: uh..yeah.. sure…whatever you said..😂😂
Very random but when I was younger I had a whale hand puppet that I nicknamed Nesbit after the Loch Ness Monster. The Loch Ness Monster was in my Mario 64 game on the Nintendo 64 and you could jump on its back and ride around in the water. I would literally do that for hours, and I did nickname that version of it Nessie (well before Twilight existed though) XD
The fact that a movie can be better then it's book is crazy to me. In the book they unite all this crazy powerful vamps and NOTHING HAPPENS! I loved that the director and producers where like" no way, we need to do better then this". I think the whey they did it was nice.
I still believe that they could've just used a baby with similar features to the young girl actress. It's not like it's never been done before showing someone as a baby in a movie. What they were going to do and what they did were both bad options. I think they were just so caught up in how bad the first one was until it was too late that they didn't have time to change the scenes to use a real baby, which would've had to do deliberate things like the hand to the face.
I’m gonna miss the feeling of watching all of these reactions of the series seeing your reactions and teh hilarious moments throughout I think it’s been my favourite movie series reactions you guys have done on the channel
I will occasionally go throughout my day and randomly wonder to myself, 'When is Reel-Time going to finish their twilight saga reactions', and the day is finally here. As someone who was a die-hard Twilight fan back in the day, I think I will always be loyal to Team Edward because of the books, not sure if the character translates quite as well to the movie adaptations but I was definitely happy to see Bryce land on team Edward at the end! I really enjoyed following along with your reaction to these movies and appreciate that you took the time to finish the saga and take it seriously even though the story can be pretty unserious at some points.
Man, I remember being so mad my favorite characters were dying, on the verge of tears, than being REALLY mad I was tricked. And yeah, that line of Jacob to Edward was so messed up, even as a Team Jacob fan, I was like, "Couldn't they have left that part out of the movies?" And by then I read all the books and so I know what imprinting means but I still thought that they should've explained it better in the movies or at least kept stuff out it. I think people would've been on board more if they kept it as a protection measure. I still hold the opinion Stephanie Meyers did Jacob dirty in the books. You don't make one your main love interests better by making the other one a total creep.🤢
I remember when I watched this in the theatre, everyone was gasping and screaming in shock when Carlisle's head got ripped off. Then at the final twist, everyone stood up and gave it a standing ovation because it was just so unexpected lol
im pretty positive bella looked and signaled to emmet because his power is super strength, they never said it in the movies but thats his power, thats why he arm wrestled a newborn bella. also it was seth, leahs brother that was killed. also also, i think benjamin heasitated because there were 3 of them that were in danger and he didnt know what to do or who to help first
I wasn't even too much into Twilight but I went with my friend and her mom to the movies, and EVERYONE gasped - and I even smacked my hand over my mouth 🤯
So Aro's thing is collecting people with cool powers. Rami Malek's vampire dad has been keeping his powers hidden since he made him and warning him not to reveal the extent of his powers, that's why he didn'f start with that, presumably 40:41. (Avoid getting on Volturi's radar)

Yeah.... the baby was described in the book as having the appearance of a baby but with the intelligence, awareness, coordination, etc. of someone much older, in an almost otherworldy way. And as someone else said, they initially did a puppet that had an adult looking face but it was even creepier than what they ended up with. And with the imprinting, it's meant to be akin to soulmates, and they go into a bit more detail in the book that it does sometimes happen with this much of an age gap but that it will be a relationship that eventually evolves, that they're "whatever they need them to be", an older brother, a protector, and eventually a lover. The book does explore a bit more the ethical dilemna about whether the person imprinted on has a choice, but the way they sort of explain it is that it's more like the wolf only imprints on someone who will feel the same way. Still creepy though.
The relationship evolving would invlolve grooming. Even if he were to move away until she was an adult it would still be wrong. There is no defence for imprinting on a baby and getting with her when she's finally legal. It's disgusting.
I still remember that I forced my older brother to take me to the theater to watch the premiere. He was so bored and sleepy, but when the fight scene started he was awake and entertained 😂😂😂. I was crying up a bit. We were both shocked 😮 to see Carlisle head come off, and how the battle was not real at the end of the day.
You guys have the best Twilight movie reactions. 🙌❤️ Thanks for completing the entire saga! I’m glad you had fun because it certainly was a ton of fun watching y’all.
I've been waiting for this movie and especially your reaction to Renesmee's face since the very first one and omg you guys did not disappoint!🤣 I laughed so hard through the whole reaction 🤣💙💙💙
I think the lore that is made clear in the books is that Jacob doesn't age as long as the vampires are around because they trigger his wolf side, and while their wolf side is activated, they don't age. So Jacob won't be aging either, if that makes sense.
Just a reminder. The final montage is also cute because it’s the first time Bella let down her shield with Edward. She finally let her walls come down for a bit and that’s what she wanted to show him. Which adds just more emotion and importance to it. Saw a girl explain it on the RU-vid clip Thought I’d share
Yeah, it was better explained in the books. But that's obvious, because the books are first person from Bella's perspective, so we read her thinking that she wants to turn off her power to let Edward see. Because Edward did have some insecurities in not being able to read her mind about how committed she was to him and being a vampire when he was so used to being able to on everyone else for a century.
I don't know how everyone just missed in the imprint scene the fact that Jacob said that he would be whatever she wanted him to be - brother, friend, protector. He didn't originally mean romantically, but it is implied that if she wanted to be with him in the future romantically, he would be with her. And yeah love your reaction as always
That’s how I wish people saw it but I know how it looks if you don’t try and understand the situation. It’s literally not Jacob’s fault, he didn’t know this would happen. When he imprinted on the baby he didn’t have any sexual feelings for her. He just instantly developed a protective connection and that’s how it started. The part that everyone gets disgusted by is the fact that the relationship between them can possibly later on become romantic. Which I get why people are disgusted, it looks that way because she’s still a baby/kid. I personally don’t think Jacob has any sexual feelings for her while she’s a child. I do believe he will possibly develop those romantic/sexual feelings for her when she’s an adult. The fact that she’s started off as a baby/child and he was already a grown man is what makes the situation look like Jacob is a groomer.
@@izikmoreno7107SIR, it’s still disgusting, pedophilic, and grooming to fall in love with an adult whom you saw grow up as a baby. It’s creepy that you’re using this as a justification as if it makes it any less disgusting!
@@wackybrattyx whatever dude, I can’t change the way you think. I never said I agreed with what he did. I’m just saying it’s a wolfs natural instinct to do this no matter who it is. If they are special, then the wolf will imprint. It sucks that it can be a child, I’m not agreeing with what Jacob did. I’m just saying, it’s partially not his fault because it’s a wolfs instinct to imprint on someone special to them. No matter who it is it won’t stop because of age. I see your point on it being disgusting because it is. I’m just trying to look at it from Jacob’s point of view. The act itself isn’t ok since it’s on a child, but if you think about it, it’s a wolfs nature to do this no matter the age of the person. AGAIN I do NOT agree with this action just the fact that it’s their nature to imprint no matter age.
@@wackybrattyx The wolfs can’t change their nature because they imprint on a child that’s all I’m saying. It’s not ok and it is sick if it’s in any type of romantic way, but it doesn’t change the fact that they cant control who it happens to.
@@wackybrattyx Also I’m not justifying the action, I’m justifying the fact that it’s their nature, no matter if it’s right or not. I don’t agree with the action but I can’t change their nature because they imprint on a child. I agree with you 100% about it being sick because it is. All I’m saying is that it’s their nature, wish it was changeable but unfortunately it isn’t.
It's not explained in the movies, but in the books, the wolves are as immortal as the vampires as long as they continue to shift. So, it's kind of like with the vampires. Edward is 100 and Bella is 18 but the age difference doesn't matter because they are not going to physically age any more and they're only a year apart by physical age. I still think it's kind of creepy, but knowing that Jacob won't actually age makes it a little better. There was supposed to be another book, but someone released a rough draft and the author got angry and decided that she's never going to continue the series.
That book was released like two or three years ago lol. There's also a gender swapped one that was released like five years ago, and she's working on a book about Jacob and Renesmee
@@leahdavis9434 Midnight Sun is not a sequel. It's a retelling of the original story from Edward's point of view. She has said that she has an outline for a sequel but she also said that she wants to work on something new, where she can do a lot of world building. So, no, there's not a sequel yet.
When you think about it, Jacob and Nessie only have an 18 year (?) age gap, compared to like 80-something for Edward and Bella. Obviously it's stil creepy as hell, but Renesmee is said to have an adult mind from the beginning and they don't get in a romantic relationship until she's older and looks like an adult. Now I'm not saying that isn't creepy, I'm moreso saying I don't understand how people don't find Edward more creepy than they do.
@@psychokitty71 who said anything about a sequel? Re-read that comment again. You were talking about the rough draft that was released early, which was midnight sun. If you thought the rough draft was a sequel, you're mistaken. And the proof of that can be easily found because she released the rough draft herself after declaring she would never finish it
@@user-es7ui5mc1m because age gaps of fantastical proportions are way different. People hand wave them away because otherwise there wouldn't be the genre at all. There is no equal to a 100 year old teen, or a 1000 year old alien. And if they're just all mythical creatures - do we care that he's 1000 and she's 1500? When does it end?
The CGI baby even had the twilight fans confused. They were gonna use a super creepy puppet at first. The point of Renesmes is that she ages super fast. So as a newborn, she's got a full set of teeth and is way more aware than she should be. But instead of using like a toddler they used a CGI baby. They didn't even make the baby act or look like it did in the book. So there was no point at all to use CGI.
@@RS-bn1ty I mean... at least Bella had already gone through puberty when Edward fell in love with her lol. Ew... and I feel gross saying it that way...
@@Galiant2010 Team Jacob generally refers to wanting Bella to end up with Jacob. The Renesmee storyline was SMeyers way to make Team Edward happen and give Jacob some other plot so the character arch gets wrapped up somehow
I loved this series reactions, they were so entertaining and will definitely be rewatching! As someone who grew up with these movies, I enjoy watching people's first time watching and you guys didn't disappoint lmao.
Y’all don’t even understand the GASP that erupted in theaters when Carlisle was beheaded and the sigh and cheer when it’s revealed to be a vision and he’s alive. People were SOBBING for Carlisle and Jasper.
If you're freaked out by the CGI baby, you should see the animatronic one they had before it. >.> Also, I will never forget the SCREAMS in theaters on opening night. It was really unexpected.
In the book, Bella's thoughts tell us that the reason she took Emmett as well when she was bringing Renesmee to meet Aro was because he would "be dying to go"; unsaid, I think also because Emmett is often stated throughout the books to be the strongest of the Cullens, and therefore she brought him as a failsafe to protect Renesmee in case Aro tricked them and tried to attack her.
Twilight is just one of those movies that was so popular because people had read the book. For example, the Harry Potter movies are good on their own, you don't need to have read the books to really enjoy the movies. For Twilight, it was so loved because most of us had read all the books, many times lol
I really enjoyed the ending as Edward finally got the chance to read Bella’s mind ❤. Also, the way they wrapped up the ending as showing every character(artist) that participated in the Twilight saga from ending to beginning. And showing the book pages 😍.
Guys if you think the cgi baby was bad (which it is!) give the Renesmee doll a go lmaooo you can just Google. That was what they initially went with but then decided to cgi renaissance instead
I remember reading the last book right when it came out and getting to the end and there was like 2 paragraphs about her vision, it felt like such a cop out. Then watching it in theaters on opening night wishing they’d change the ending, but not expecting them to since up to this point they were very loyal to the books. People literally screamed when Carlyle dies and full on yelling/cheering through the whole fight sequence to find out we were just watching Alice’s vision. That movie took those 2 paragraphs and turned it into the craziest movie theater experience of my life (slow clap) genius.
Marcus said "Finally" because he was ready to die; he had been in love with Aro's sister, but Aro feared that Marcus would try to leave because of it so he killed his sister which sent Marcus into his depression. Seeing how her death affected Marcus, Caius and Aro both put their own wives under lock and key to make sure nothing would ever happen to them.
It'd be worth showing if they split this into 3 parts or fit another movie in somewhere in the series to match sections of the books that were needed. It's super nuanced and intricate in the books. Which is why I and millions of others worldwide enjoyed it so much. ❤
The fight vision was actually a great twist whether you read the book or not. In the book, it’s all from Bella’s POV so we never see the fight in the book. My guess is they put it in the film because if they didn’t the ending woulda been underwhelming and tbh kinda boring.
I feel like for the baby: 1. They didnt want to cast more than one baby. 2. The CGI on the babies face is because they needed the baby to age fast. The baby is a newborn, but it grows fast, so it doesn't actually LOOK like a newborn.
