Am I the Only One Sick of Vampires?

[NeutralDrow]

Vampires are an analogy for having your period

That's werewolves.

ROFL Im proper chortling here ;D Hokay, Vampires are womend period anxiety, werewolves are mens period anxiety

Other way around. Werewolves undergo a transformation a few days a month turning them into monsters, vampires are bloodthirsty 'round the clock.

And both bite places you don't wanna be bit!

...

Wait, gender analogies? Damn. Lemme rephrase that.

They have a great excuse not to go outside into that horrible sun burny sun.
all thought the blood sucking could be of inconvience,a doctors note explaining why I could not go out in the sun for that would be nice.

The only thing I hate more than sun burn is wearing clothes on sun burnt areas.

OK, we've had traditional vampires, vampires in modern times, vampires in the future, interviews with vampires, vampire biographys, good vampires, half-blood vampires, vampire wars, vampire social commities, children vampires, comedy vampires... you get the idea.

I'm sick of vampire stories and I just cannot understand the obsession people have with them. And they never seem to go away. As soon as the hype over one vampire franchise dies down, we get another one pop up.

Why is it that people are so fascinated about a race that sucks blood, is only allowed to come out at night (that SERIOUSLY sucks), looks so pale and comes out with the most ridiculous lines in books, films and videogames?

Does anyone share my POV, or can anyone explain what I'm missing out here?

EDIT: OK sorry I put this in the wrong section of the forum (although vampire games annoy me as much as them in any other medium), can a mod put it in 'off topic'?

Really? I liked vampires, before Twilight, now they're just things emo kids obsess over.

Please do rephrase it. You just reminded me that genitals do, in fact, flush with blood.

Actually, maybe I won't. It's best to leave it at that and maybe have a chuckle on the house.

 

[Whodat]

Vampires are nice when used sparingly and not when they are over used in movies like underworld and twilight (which should burn btw)and in games like fallout 3 where they arent even vampires! Just cannibals living in a frickin subway tunnel!

 

[Lrbearclaw]

I dunno. I thought "30 Days of Night" had a nice take on them. But.. yeah Vamps are (generally) overdone and cliche.

 

[thiosk]

Vampires will never go away because everyone seems to either secretly want to be one, or secretly wants to have sex with one.

 

[Magnatek]

Original vampires were awesome - Blade, Dracula, the guys off Van Helsing, etc. but now they're rubbish, Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, etc.

What about Kain, huh? He was great. Of course, until this Twilight crap blows over, as it inevitably will, vampires will never be taken seriously.

Shhhh, they're always listening...

Correct thread is correct.

Because teenage girls will forever find the concept totally irresistible.

 

[Julianking93]

I'm sick of the bullshit twilight vampires that don't have to drink blood and can stay out in the sun.

 

[Ajaysallthat]

Hey i read twilight it was actually pretty good

Your man card is now void

Ur funny...my girlfriend made me read it...TAKE THAT

Then your man card is not only void but now torn up, set on fire and the ashes blasted into the sun.

if i could flip you off i could, but all stereotypes aside it showed strong language, a compelling plot, enjoyable characters, and a horrible movie made after it, ALL of the aspects of good books in the past

 

[Ajaysallthat]

Hey i read twilight it was actually pretty good

It was pure unrelenting shit, the likes of which I have never seen. Do yourself a favor and read something with a decent story and more culture and perhaps a little depth. Try Hemmingway, Tolkien, Camus.

I have its just good to get away with a little angst

 

[Webb5432]

Well, I gotta say, I'm sick of 'em too. Remember the good old days? Vampires were to be feared, cursed, and they terrified you. Then... Twilight. I got a LOT of myth-and-monster-loving friends, and even have been called a half-vampire-half-psychic, but honestly, vampires are dead to me. Twilight killed them. They should be scary, evil, hungry, not some douche in a tree. Oh, and vampires DIE in sunlight, Eddie, old chap. The sparkling doesn't make you majestic. It just makes you look gay.

Werewolves? I love dogs.

Witches? The best way to avoid their charms is to screw 'em. (Even though I won't like it, it's better than being a toad).

Zombies? The only thing on earth that scares the ever loving bejeezes out of me. But shooting them can be fun. Nothing like seeing their heads pop in the sniper scope.

Vampires? When they're not drinking blood and fucking each other, they still don't scare me.
