Twilight: 10 Most Cringeworthy Parts, According To Reddit
Twilight’s scenes are well-known for being cringy, at times, but some Redditors discuss which might be the worst.
The Twilight Saga’s beloved Cullen family actors have recently reunited in a new Comic-Con image that has fans excited. Even though it’s been years since the saga has been released, it solidified its spot as an iconic franchise since 2008. But not everything in the movies has aged well, and some aspects were just cringey from the get-go.
Don’t Make Jacob Angry Or Things Will Get Ugly
Otherm0ther despises when Jacob says, “Don’t make me angry or things will get very ugly” in New Moon. In this cringe-inducing moment, Jacob threatens Alice in Bella’s home as they try to discuss how to protect Bella from Victoria. The Redditor believes it sounds like “listening to my toddler threatens to never speak to me again.”
Bella Hates Cold & Wet Things
Some of Bella Swan’s quotes made viewers uncomfortable after rewatch. Patchinthebox immediately thinks of the scene where Bella says, “Any cold, wet… thing… I don’t really…” to Edward. She tends to over-exaggerate her awkwardness, but this scene was definitely over-the-top cringe-worthy.
Edward Denies Bella’s Advances
From the first time Bella laid eyes on Edward, she was instantly attracted to him. As their grows in Eclipse, she begins to feel comfortable enough to take her relationship clothes off. To her surprise, Edward stopped her, and some fans found this scene super embarassing to see Bella’s rejection. In fact, whenever DudeTheWorldSucks watches this scene, they get “secondhand embarrassment every time.”
Bella’s Spider Monkey
RebeccaMCullen recalls many scenes full of cringe, but that the best ones are “‘Hold on tight spider monkey’ and That’s my monkey man.'” Edward finally told Bella the truth about him and decided to showcase his agility by jumping swiftly between the trees . Many Redditors agree across different threads that these two lines are some of the cringiest scenes in the whole sage.
Twilight’s Rough Cuts
There are a few weird cuts that Redditors have noticed throughout the saga. In New Moon, Bella confronts Jacob about ignoring her and Jacob begins listing people she has been lying to, but suddenly stops after Charlie. A deleted Reddit user recalls that “the way he says it makes it seem like he was gonna go on,” making it even more confusing.
Jacob Calling Edward “Dad”
In Breaking Dawn – Part 2, Jacob imprints on Renesmee as soon as she is born. After Edward finds out, Jacob asks if he should start calling him “dad.” Although Rigatoni-maroni found that scene specifically disturbing, they say “as if the whole imprinting stuff wasn’t cringey enough.” Some Redditors would rather pretend it never happened in the first place.
Bella Discussing Her Virginity With Charlie
Ma2340 points to the scene where Bella yells at Charlie that she’s a virgin. They said they can “feel the cringe and awkwardness watching it play out on the screen.” Kristen Stewart and Billy Burke acted perfectly in this scene together, making it that much more real and intentionally uncomfortable.
Jasper’s Southern Accent
A tiny detail noted by one Redditor would be “when Jasper says ‘Battle scars’ with the weird lisp.” Eclipse takes the viewers back in time until he first became a vampire. During that time, he had a Southern accent that no one expected, including Redditor earthdaisyy.
“Bella, Where The Hell Have You Been, Loca?”
Jacob Black has many lines that seem to take the cringe-worthy prize. FearlessSwift points out the exact line: “Bella, where the hell have you been loca?” in New Moon. In the scene, Jacob runs towards Bella as she gets out of her truck with a motorcycle they could work on together.
“This Is The Skin Of A Killer, Bella.”
The most iconic yet cringe-worthy scene has to be when Edward shows Bella his skin in the sunlight. As he steps into the sun, he says, “This is the skin of a killer, Bella.” Many Redditors agree with bois_jacques that the scene can’t be taken seriously as he sparkles and goes from a terrifying vampire to a shining disco ball.
Unlike traditional vampires, Twilight’s vampires don’t burn in the sunlight. Instead, they sparkle in the sun like a gemstone in a dark cave. One Redditor even jokes about being kept up all night for how cringe this line was. Bella is unable to take her eyes off of him because he looks beautiful and harmless, rather than the monster he claims to be.
