Bella Swan

I was like, wait, is that his name in that show? No, because there's another someone whose last name is Burke, but someone whose name is Billy, but his name is Charlie Swan, of course.

And he comes on as iconic father of Bella Swan, Charlie Swan, the sheriff in town.

And so seeing him there.

I don't know if he would get an applause today, but I do think it would be very popular to see like, oh my gosh.

... really awkward.

Just like Bella Swan.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Whereas if you just do it for real, if you can, it's gonna look better.

But yeah, the movie begins with a voiceover from Bella Swan as the camera pans over a deer grabbing themselves a drink.

This forest scene was actually filmed at Silver Falls State Park, about twenty-six miles east of Salem, Oregon.

And sensing that they're being hunted, the deer attempts to run away from danger.

She's almost often written as an avatar for the teenage person reading it to put themselves into.

So they're quite bland, like Bella Thorne or Bella Swan, rather, from Twilight.

It's a perfect example of that, I think, in that, you know, Really, there's not much to her.

Whereas Katniss Everdeen, she's so human, you know, it's not like every arrow she shoots hits.

Let's get into it.

Bella immediately is asking Edward if she can just ask one more question about him being a vampire.

Spoiler alert,

it was not Bella's last question.

There

are a lot more.

See...

I love Bella's curiosity.

Master of the Universe, I think it was called originally.

The author, E.L. James, was writing under a pen name on these Internet forums, taking the established characters of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, stripping away the vampire elements and just dropping them into a contemporary setting in Seattle.

Right.

Just a billionaire and a college student.
