In this re-imagined narrative, Edward Cullen from the Twilight Series meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's an example of transformative storytelling serving as a pro-feminist visual critique of Edward's character and generally creepy behavior. Seen through Buffy's eyes, some of the more sexist gender roles and patriarchal Hollywood themes embedded in the Twilight saga are exposed - in hilarious ways. Ultimately this remix is about more than a decisive showdown between the slayer and the sparkly vampire. It also doubles as a metaphor for the ongoing battle between two opposing visions of gender roles in the 21ist century.

Damn straight. Buffy blows Twilight in the weeds. I tried reading the Twihigh series, and it gives you nothing except two desperate clingy people being all desperate and clingy. Buffy, True Blood, Anne Rice's "Chronicles", you name it- anybody does vamp stories better than S Meyer. Personally, I think she made a deal with the devil to get them on the bestsellers lists. Either that or the preteens of this country are even more of a lost cause than I thought.
