Re-assessing Twilight, I think that series was somewhat unfairly bashed by folks back then. The movies were dull as dishwater but they clearly had a massive audience that loved it.
Lindsay Ellis did a pretty brilliant essay on the topic on YouTube and how YA and female driven fiction gets utterly trashed to the point that people that actually secretly love them are afraid to do so in public. Whereas stuff like The Fast and Furious series and some crappy superhero movies get somewhat less derision because they’re directed at young men.
It seems the public generally pours scorn more easily at fiction directed towards females. It’s actually an interesting topic when critically assessed.
