Twilight’s TV Remake Can Finally Improve 1 Storyline That The Books & Movies Failed
The upcoming Twilight TV remake is the best chance to fix and improve one storyline that both the books and movies unfairly left aside.
The upcoming Twilight TV remake is the best chance to improve one specific storyline that both the books and the movies failed. In 2005, Stephenie Meyer shared her own version of vampires and werewolves in her debut novel Twilight, introducing readers to vampire Edward Cullen and mortal Bella Swan, whose romance became the focus of the series. Twilight was the first entry in a series of four novels, chronicling the many ups and downs in the often toxic relationship of Bella and Edward and introducing various characters connected to them, both allies and enemies.
The popularity of the Twilight novels led to their film adaptation between 2008 and 2012, with the fourth novel split into two movies. Although the Twilight Saga was mostly loyal to the books, it also repeated some of their mistakes. This was evident in the movie’s portrayal of Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and his fellow shapeshifters from the Quileute wolf pack, but their story and other details about them can now be fixed and improved in the Twilight TV remake.
Twilight’s TV Remake Can Give The Wolf Pack The Attention The Books & Movies Didn’t
The Wolf Pack Was Included But Never Got The Attention It Deserved
Because being a vampire and a mortal and falling in love with each other wasn’t already a problem for Edward and Bella, the Twilight novels added a love triangle to the mix with Jacob Black. Jacob is the son of Billy Black, an old friend of Bella’s father, Charlie, and she was one of the first friends Bella made when she arrived in Forks. It was through him that Bella got the suspicion that Edward was a vampire, and while she got to know Edward better, Jacob developed a secret crush on her.
Jacob had a small role in Twilight, but he became a bigger character in the subsequent novels. New Moon was key in Jacob Black’s story and character development as it revealed that Jacob, a member of the Quileute tribe, is descended from an ancient line of “shapeshifters”, and as such, he can take the form of a werewolf. It was also in New Moon when Jacob and Bella grew closer and his romantic feelings for her began to create conflict. In addition to that, New Moon also introduced the rest of the Quileute pack.
Jacob and the pack helped Edward and Bella face a group of newborn vampires in Eclipse and in Breaking Dawn they teamed up with the Cullens and their allies to go against the Volturi to protect Bella and Edward’s daughter, Renesmee, though that final battle never actually happened . Despite their heavy presence throughout the books and the Twilight Saga, neither properly explored the story of the pack, becoming one of the most underdeveloped parts of the novels and saga.
