This is funny... like a while back my friends were telling me while we were in the bookstore that if this shit could get published and turned into a movie I should have no problems with my writing (even though I doubt it just because its never safe to be too confident).
But we brought up how lame-assed these vampires were compared to older ones. I mean just use two of my favorite anime vampires as an example; Alucard (Hellsing) and D (Vampire Hunter).
I mean "special powers" or not Alucard would mop the floor with these "vampires" (all at once likely), shoot them full of holes, and devour their immortal souls; I mean he was the stuff of nightmares... Nazi-war-criminals-turned-vampires' nightmares.
D, OTOH wasn't even a full-blooded vampire yet he's still twice the vampire of all these newbies put together in my opinion. Just for the fact that he's pretty much unkillable, and everything living and undead is scared shitless of him (at least if they have the sense to realize who he is).
And don't even make me get into really old-school vampires... I mean they made the twilight pansies look tame by being freaky sex-perverts (who took the woman they wanted danger-be-damned rather than be emo over her) AND were still hardcore when it came to whipping ass *points to Vlad Dracula impaling Turks for his jollies*

Vlad... aren't that more of a strategic decision? By impaling his enemies it would make them think twice before attacking... something like that.

Orly... then esplain why he'd literally drink their blood in his wine goblet out in the field while they slowly died in front of him. The guy was just a friggin sadist, plain and simple.
Also, when he impaled the Turkish emissaries it was because they refused to remove their turbans out of custom, saying it was disrespectful to their god. He basically said "this is what I think of your god and your culture" when he sent the heads back with the turbans spiked to them.

The problem with that idea though. If you want to write your own books and have them made into movies. You have to appeal to a bunch of hormonally imbalanced teen girls. Will Hector sell his soul? And Vampire Hunter D would put these bitches in their respective places. Or even...

I always thought this series needed a human antagonist, with aspirations to chase after vampires and werewolves in an attempt to kill them both, of course it's all in the name of a blue and pure world.
Granted, I still wouldn't like it, but if he killed either Jacob or Edward it would at least be a scene I'd read or watch.

Aki actually makes a good point. Why aren't there any vampire/werewolf hunters in any of those movies? They're just a bunch of freaks jumping about and glittering in the sunlight with the entire human population oblivious to their existence.
I need some Van Helsing or something.

Because those sparkling thingys aren't worth it to kill, compare to the awesome ones we see, or even the classical ones.

And now while it's on my mind, I always thought Harry Potter would also be more awesome with a human antagonist, very technology-oriented, that goes after magic-users in an attempt to prove the existence of Hogwarts to the world, perhaps bitter over something involving them. Everything ultimately culminates with him leading a final attack on the school with his army.
I need more human antagonists, damn it.

Honestly, Twilight vampires/werewolves are so lame that fa/tg/uys with crossbows and an online, hackjob, ripoff "monster hunter" training course and license could wipe them all out with "tolerable" casualties.
Besides, vampires in general suck (and literally!). Plus anything that you can shove a vegetable in its mouth and its powers are negated or its eyes start bleeding or its head explodes, etc is just downright lame. >.>

*looks at Alucard and DIO*
I think they'll disagree.
