Is True Blood the New Twilight?
This “True Blood” vs “Twilight” Question is posed from Ted Casablanca in his column from “The Awful Truth” at E-Online.
Ted goes on to let us know, although he is not giving up his love of “Twilight” his article states “when we want to get our more scandalous Nikki Reed side going, we turn to vampire porn True Blood. The gothic HBO show has a bunch of things Summit wouldn’t dare let its presh kids partake in (onscreen anyway!): kinky sex (complete with actual nudity), blood-drenched violence and a public relationship between the main stars!”
I can certainly agree with Ted that True Blood is HOT ! It also certainly does not hurt that the chemistry between Anna Paquin/Sookie Stackhouse and Stephen Moyer/Bill Compton translates well because of their relationship off screen. It certainly helps make the scenes just that much more steamy for us. As Ted States “We sure wouldn’t kick Stephen Moyer away i if he tried to bite us.” Personally I also would not kick Eric/Alexander Skarsgard away from biting me , I never felt a need to choose I wouldn’t mind a bite by either one!

True Blood is certainly Not the “new” Twilight! They are completely different stories and with different target audiences!
I like Twilight I saw the first film and I saw New Moon about a month ago and I liked it. As for Twilight I think that the books are somewhat better than the films even though I liked the New Moon film. These are 2 different stories entirely! There are Some similarities,But thats it!
Bella Swan is a confused, naive teen rebelling against parental authority and fickle friends. She becomes involved with Edward Cullen and his vampire family who seek to control their wild vampire ways and live as more mainstreamers who live off of the blood of animals as opposed to feeding off humans
Bella must make a choice between Edward,her vampire love and Jacob Black, Her Were-Shifter friend with whom she also develops a relationship.
True Blood by comparison(Not that you’d want to even bother comparing them) is about waitress/telepath Sookie Stackhouse
Who uses her “ability” to clear her brother Jason of the suspicion of murder and learn more about the world of vampires.
She falls for Vampire Bill Compton a civil war vet and begins a passionate romance with him.
Eric Northman wants to utilize her special skill for his own benefit but he may also want her because he feels an attraction to her as well. Sam Merlotte,Her boss and long time friend also wants her time and affection as he is also smitten with her.
True Blood is also about the town of Bon Temps,LA Its more about relationships of the people and how they deal with each other. Its about the stories,lives and loves of the people there.
Its about a whole group of people…Secondary character stories are just as important as the main ones.
True Blood is Definitely Not a new Twilight! Twilight is about a PG-13 with some violent content Whereas True Blood is definitely more for Adults Thematic elements including graphic violence and sexual content. Its for more mature audiences.
True Blood is Not merely about 1 young lady making a choice between 2 guys who are “monsters” of a kind,Its about Sookie and her brother Jason as well as Tara,Sam,Laffayette trying to findout who they are and where they fit in to things
Eric Northman has to be the Coolest Vampire ever!!
Its just great writing and good acting! The cast does a wonderful job!! Bill has to contend with Jessica and her raging teen-vamp urges as well as hormones.
So You See they Are Nothing alike!!
Were you to see the middle of S2 with Maryann and her paagan orgies and need to control the townsfolk You would Know that!!
Twilight is good True Blood is Better!!!
I think TB shows a darker,more visceral side to vampire existence as opposed to romanticizing it.
I dont think either of these stories are meant to give out the “warm fuzzies” as vampires Are predators and feed of humans for blood. The answer to the original question? NO Not at ALL!!
