![]() "We're a large clan of strong fighters, and a witch, all protecting one vulnerable human. Just going to be a bit more fun this way." "Don't care about that, he was dead the moment he looked at Bella. The hunt is his obsession, and my reaction set him off - you didn't help much, Nia." Jasper led Nia to the car as well, helping her into the jeep as she buckled herself in. He kissed her head as Carlisle gave instructions about Bella, and Edward explained the severity of the situation. Jasper appeared at her side, bringing her into a tight hug. They were gone a second later and Nia let out a shaky breath, feeling the adrenalin slow down. James glanced back at Edward, their eyes meeting for a fraction of a second before he tore himself away and followed Laurent and Victoria. She held her hand up for a moment before smirking and letting it drop back to her side. Something darker arose in her stomach and she felt almost bloodthirsty, she imagined he felt the same way. ![]() "Leave, James," she told him softly, taunting him, the thrill of using such magic surging through her. She slowly brought her fingertips towards her palm, a smile settling on her lips as his jaw clenched, face twitching. Nia stared into James' eyes, tilting her head to the side a fraction as she held up a hand. "Yes," Laurent replied, his confidence shaken. We did not know this place was protected." ![]() "A witch," Laurent spoke up softly, a hint of awe in his voice. She saw her own reflection in his eyes, murky against the color of blood in his eyes. Fear? Excitement? She couldn't decipher it. Up close, she saw something in James' eyes. "You leave this town, you leave her alone, you have one chance." "Don't look at her," Nia spoke up strongly, pushing Jasper back slightly as she made her way towards James, standing in between him and Edward. In a flash, the family surrounded Bella, and she heard Edward and James snarling at each other. James, he was faster, quicker, lighter - he rushed straight past Bella before turning around swiftly and stopping. Nia heard a loud smack as another ball was pitched and she heard running. "The humans were tracking us," Victoria spoke up, her voice sickly sweet, sultry even. She would pick Bella over everyone else, if it came down to it. She listened for Bella, trying to keep an ear on her at all times. This is the sports movie of a killer, Bella.Jasper started to tug Nia along, bringing her closer to Emmett's jeep so they could make a quick escape. Whether or not you agree that the baseball undertones eclipse the romantic angle, there’s no denying that Twilight has a sports subgenre. However, the filmmakers pushed the idea to the extreme, showcasing the supernatural aspects of the characters (vampire powers) in an environment that most of us are familiar with (a baseball game). Not only is this the one moment that the actors look like they actually had fun filming, but we get the fortune of hearing “Supermassive Black Hole” by Muse play as Jasper suavely flips a bat around his hand.Ī group of vampires being forced to wait until a thunderstorm to play a leisurely game-lest they out themselves to a town of humans (and werewolves)-is a very solid concept in and of itself. Furthermore, the rest of the Twilight saga would not be possible without the set-up of the initial movie, so we have baseball to thank for the other four installments.Īdditionally, the most iconic scene in the movie-by far-is when the Cullens take Bella to play vampire baseball. The narrative of America’s pastime also runs in the background, as Bella calls to check in on her mom and we see batting cages and baseball diamonds. These events kickstart the entire plot of the film, from Bella’s reunification with Jacob Black to eating Italian food with a family of vampires. However, she felt guilty about forcing her mom to stay at home with her. Her step-dad Phil is a professional baseball player, and Bella did not want to constantly travel to his away games. ![]() Bella moves in with her dad Charlie Swan-who lives in Forks, Washington-due to her mom and step-dad going on the road. In fact, Bella Swan would not have met Edward Cullen at all if it were not for America’s pastime. The reason that any of the events in the movie transpire is baseball. ![]() Before love triangles and dramatic confessions in the woods, the central theme that runs throughout Twilight is quite simply baseball. But what if I told you that this movie belonged to an entirely different genre than its literary counterpart? The well known film-recognizable by its jarring blue filter and cringy dialogue-is based on Stephanie Meyer’s infamous supernatural romance series.
