I have to respond to this comment from Sendusia:
"And True Blood, is for anyone mature enough to watch it. Get over it, sex and blood, all of that, is a part of life. Maybe not to that extent, but that is not what is being compared."
Do you really think that a 10 or 13 year old should really be watch some of the stuff that happens on TB? I'm sorry, as a mother myself, I really think that they shouldn't be. It's too vivid for that age and I know that sex, etc. is a matter of life, but Twilight and VD are better for that age group.
My opinion.....sorry I don't agree that TB is for all - maybe thats why it is on HBO and even has a warning before the show starts about the contents of the show??

The Vampire Diaries and True Blood are better than Twilight. Damon and Eric are so hot!!! Edward is boring - I'm not a fan of some sparkles and fangless vampires.
And I do agree with Cam - Joss Whedon's shows are the best vampire's shows ever – Buffy The Vampire Slayer and the spin-off Angel. Spike and Angel are my favorite vampires! I hope Joss Whedon will make and SPIKE Spin-off show – I miss Spike... Spike (William The Bloody) is the best, the sexiest and the funniest vampire ever, no one of these new vampires can compare to him!

I have to step up anytime someone uses the line 'and vampires do not sparkle'
1. How do YOU know what a vampire does?
2. Sparkling? Perfectly explainable. Many vampire stories tell tales of diamond hard skin, claws, nails and teeth.
I'm sure you know what a diamond is. Surely you aren't THAT thick.
Do you know why it sparkles? Because it is so tightly packed together, so impenetrable, that light has a hard time getting through it. It reflects off the compacted surface, and as crystals are multifaceted, they appear to 'sparkle' as they move through the light.
Likewise with metal. It is so dense, and so flat, that light simply bounces off it.
So, who are you to say a vampire doesn't sparkle in the sun? All you probably know of is the Romanian vampire.
I don't know what sources you read, unless you pulled it all out of your tiny brain, but you have the worst interpretation of vampires in the world.

I love the twilight books, and the movies are pretty good... but in the books i like edward cullen but in the movies i am so team jacob.
The vampire diaries is pretty good too because there are some intence senes and there is some pretty bad ass vampires, not like in twilight were it is a little cheezie and looks fake.
But i think we can all agree wether it is the vampire diaries or twilight that both of them have smoken hot guys with rocken bodies!!

Omg! I can't decide between vampire diaries and twilight! Elena is a bit awesomer than bella, but they're both truly awesome! Although Jacob is hotter than rob! AND STEFAN IS HOTTER THAN JACOB! Although, Damon is cute too! No doubt about it!
VD is a more concise version of the vampire stories . Its good at times when u really wanna save time .Twilight on other hand is more elaborate and descriptive which gives us a more detailed story abt the vampires and the werevolves . Both the books have attained great standards at their level . Twilight : a rather structured version of the love stories ; VD : a concise version of the love stories .

OK i never seen true blood cuz all my friends say it is stuped. Sorry T.B fans. Twlight is ok to much romance but I like the book it's better then the movies. And I'm reading and watching the Vampire Diaries. So If i had to pick it would be The Vampire Diaries just becouse it has alot of action, blood, and all the stuf vampire fans love. I have to say the Elana is so much Hoter then bela sorry but it is ture
Pretty much, when both Vampire Diaries and Twilight are compared to True Blood, they both lack in everything possible. Don't get me wrong, I love all three, but come on. True Blood has better writers, more interesting storyline, actors who can actually well ACT, excellent direction and it shows the dark side of vampires. Not everything is happy and peachy and it shows the raw side of vampires.
But between Vampire Diaries and Twilight, VD clearly wins. It's more dark and the writing is less cheesy. Love Twilight, but sometimes, I gag when they say those cheesy lines. Both VD and Twilight are terrible when compared to real vampire stories such as the Anne Rice series and Bram Stoker's Dracula. True Blood is definitely on par with those.
And True Blood, is for anyone mature enough to watch it. Get over it, sex and blood, all of that, is a part of life. Maybe not to that extent, but that is not what is being compared. The quality of the shows are being compared not whose able to wat

Ok, don't get me wrong... I LOVE Twilight and vampire diaries equal. But in the show I would not say Elena has a better personality then Bella! At least Bella knows what she wants... Elena is just getting really annoying and whiny! She is like... 'I want you, I don't want you, I love you, stay away from me, I can't stay away from you no matter what you are, you're a killer stay away from me!' I mean COME ON! Elena in the book is WAY better! And as far as the book they don't have 'more sex' ...they have NO sex. In Twilight they do. As far as BOOKS I really can't decide because they are both GREAT... I just wish the show would fallow the book. Again, don't get me wrong I do like it though. It could just be improved... But, why do we have to keep choosing? They are both great so I for one will be and Twilight-vampire diaries fan.

I started with being into Twilight....(read all 4 books back-to-back) . But then Vamp. Diaries came into play and it is just better. I can't stand how Bella is represented on screen (she is so whiny) - and Rob P is not a good Edward at all. So I am team VD when it comed to these two - but I am a die-hard True Blood fan and it completly wipes the other two out.
But you gotta think about the audiance too - Twilight is for teens, VD is for teens and young adults and TB is NOT appropiate for younger teens in ANY way shape, or form.
I enjoy all three, but True Blood has the director and actors to hold your attention and make sure you are back each week to see the next episode. So GO TRUE BLOOD!

i love twilight and the vampire diaries, but the part about twilight that i love is the werevolves, not vampires, and i really dont like edward or bella... the thing with the vampire diaries is that.. well, the vampires dont sparkle like a princess.. AND the main make characters are HOT (especially damon).. and its true, twilight is a little lame compared to VD casue all they really do in twilght is kiss...

January 1st, 2010 12:49 PM
Based on the story, I'd go for twilight (I mean, vampire diaries books are terrible, not that twilight is the "prima donna" of vampire books, but still, it's way better than vampire diaries). But the TV adaptation of VD is quite ok and much better than the books. But I don't think Elena is a full developped character, she's no better than Bella...
Give me true blood and, like cam said before, BUFFY. They're much better than either twilight or vampire diaries.
And anyway, why isn't there a tv adaptation of Vampire Academy? That would rock! The story is much more interesting and less ridiculous than the Vampire Diaries books.
But don't get me wrong, I do watch and like Vampire Diaries, and I'll keep watching it (unless they take Ian Somerhalder out of it, the man is a genius - GO DAMON!).

I agree completely. The Stehan and Elena love story is sexy, they at least show us a love story. Unlike Bella and Edward who only kiss. We have Damon, who is crazy, but my god is he hot. The Vampire Diaries, has way more action,love and special affects. Whereas Twilight doesn't, other than the werewolf thing. And don't get me started on the clothing, Vampire diaries, great fashions for everyone. Twilight, please is there any money left over to give Bella some fashion style, come on summit. The Vampire Diaries from Stehan to Matt are hot. We love the Vampire Diaries over Twilight, at least for now.
guess me
January 1st, 2010 12:03 PM
am kinda torn with this two.... i do like twilight better its a bit cheezzy but it make kids teenager and even adult get addicted to it.... but twilight doesnt have diamond "sexy bad ass vampire slayer" so yha am torn... true blood was different its mostly for adult and some teenager but a kid wont enjoy it!

When it comes to the books, meaning The Southern Vampire Mysteries (True Blood), The Twilight Saga, and Vampire Diaries, they each have their own similarities and differences. Both Vampire Diaries and The Southern Vampire Mysteries series came out YEARS before Twilight but have so much in common with it, it's scary. But in the movies/tv shows, that's where the discrepancies lie. Vampire Diaries has it all: HOT male leads AND supporting characters, a fierce female lead, sex, violence, conspiracy, family disputes. Fangs. Everything. It may be quite a bit different from the book series, but in a totally good way. Adding in a sexy brother with arms the size of my waist? GOOOD MOVE. Twilight pales in comparison. Anyone who has seen New Moon will agree that Edward, the supposedly strong, sculpted and hard as granite vampire, looks wimpy and weak next to the chiseled chest of Jacob Black. As for True Blood, if it's anything like the books, it is in a class all it's own. So the truth is: sorry

Nothing compares to True Blood, although I do watch Vampire Diaries, and I only saw Twilight and will wait to see New Moon until its out on DVD...
I suppose the vampire diaries is just something to keep me going until TRUE BLOOD comes back in June!!!
Damon: She's strong and crafty and you'll die. Elena: At least I'll die trying.
