Ha! nice list there Rac_Rules! I’m a dude, but it’s still funny even though I can’t relate to it. And in the end, all of those things are true, so yeah, Wall-E would be a better love interest.
XD Nice contrasting
I like WALL-E better, too, even though not quite in a romantic way. (Although a lot of people I know are more for Edward for some reason)
Who started this fan competition in the first place?
Haha, very nice. I agree completely. I’ve seen both movies (me n my girlfriend find the Twilight series very funny, watched the movie for laughs) and if I had to choose between Wall-E and Edward TOTALLY Wall-E. I mean come on! He built a city out of trash n saved the human race!!!
Well, once a few of my friends and I got in a debate of who would make a better boyfriend, Edward or WALL-E. They of course said Edward, mostly with arguments like “He’s so hot!” (Real original, huh?) “WALL-E is so dumb!” One girl said that “WALL-E put a bra on his eyes, so he’s a perv!”
Great list you have compiled here! You definitely hit the nail on the head as to why Wall-E is a much more desirable boyfriend than Sparkleward. I love it!
Pfft. Quite honestly, I wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with a girlfriend/boyfriend like Edward. (I’m a guy BTW, so, meh ) But Wall-E? Definitely.
And, besides, what’s up with Edward? I don’t even see the qualities in him anyway. So, he makes all the girls crumble (good looks) - personality? None!
omg, Edward is absolutely deeeesgusting. He looks like he hasn’t taken a shower in weeks, he wears eye makeup and lipstick, and he stares at you like he’s ready to eat you. (Well, in reality he is…) I don’t think I’d fall in love with a guy who wants to kill me - even if he claims he “loves me too much”, or whatever Edward’s lame excuse is. And I’m sorry - comparing a girl to a drug is just about as sick as it comes. (“My own personal brand of heroine.” YUCK!)
WALL•E is simply fascinated by EVE’s natural beauty, and his love towards her is innocent and pure; never tainted with a subconscious desire to eat her or suck out her guts. All he wants is for EVE to see that he loves her - even if she had never loved him back, I think WALL•E would have continued to show her that selfless love that he has for her.
My friends have tried telling me that “Edward isn’t a creep! He’s amazing!” I’m reading some of the lines he says in the movie, thinking, “Gross. If someone said this to me, I’d run as fast as my legs could carry me in the opposite direction.” Then they continue, “well, if you heard him say it…” With his horribly-forced American accent? No thanks. I’ll stick to listening to WALL•E’s adorable computerized Ben Burtt voice, thank you much.
LOL!!! I probably would have said the exact same thing…
…but watching you sleep??? I’m sorry, that borderlines… ugh, I won’t even go there… [sick face] I’ll probably never see/read Twilight after everything I’ve already heard/read about it. And seeing WALL•E first probably made a difference, too.
When RT mentioned Twilight (right between Beauty & The Beast and Princess Bride, ugh!) but not Wall-E on the list, it got more than a few unimpressed remarks from forum members:
I think the opinions are pretty unanimous.
But this comment by far is my favourite:
I have this rule not to judge a movie until I’ve seen in its entirety, but for this I think I’ll make an exception. I gave up on my first attempt and the fact that RT overlooked Pixar’s most original romantic movie for a teen-vampire-book-to-film-adaptation just irks the heck out of me.
Apologies to any Twilight fans here. Though judging by the posts, there are not that many, I suppose.
It’s funny, I was having a discussion about Twilight the other day with my friends, and although none of us had talked to each other about before and none of us have seen it, we very quickly concluded that we all hate it.
And RT does definitely fail in not including WALL-E on that list. Silly billies. Thanks for sharing though, thedriveintheatre; it’s always nice to see others who are like-minded and express it so eloquently.
) But Wall-E? Definitely.
