Twilight vs Marvel

Um no, its the level of superspeed, not how many feet you have. Flash only has two feet too.

Vamps were running at blurring speeds, Werewolves should not be able to keep up.

The wolves were given a level of superspeed by the writer of the series and the reason they can keep up with vamps is because they have four legs. It should be noted that Victoria and Edward are both faster than werewolves... it's a case by case situation. But in most cases, the reasoning (given the by the author) that werewolves can keep up with vamps while running, is because of the 2-to-1 leg advantage.

Your Flash example does not correlate because the reason he's fast is completely different than why Twilight characters are fast... however, if Wally West did have four legs, he'd be even faster; this is science, not my opinion... Put Usain Bolt against a cheetah and the cheetah is gonna smoke Usain.

Four legs > two... i dunno how you can dispute this. Even if you can dispute it, it doesn't matter because the author of the book says this is the reason.

No.

Number of legs has nothing to do with it. Vamps can move so fast they are a blur, Wolves don't. Why can't you get that in your head? It seems you have no sense of logic.

The Flash example does "correlate". Why they are fast has nothing to do with the discussion.

lulz. ok, buddy... believe what you need to believe.

Lol, I'll accept your concession.

It's quite easy to prove. If you measure the speed at which the Vampires move in their speedy scenes, and compare to the speed of the wolves when they were running in the forest, you'll realize you are completely wrong.

DDM should do it if he can be bothered.

Try this - Edward needed to go to the Volturi to get himself killed. He wouldn't have been able to kill himself with other means (except Werewolves, but I guess he didn't think/want that).

As for Vampire speed, Werewolves being able to keep up is just silly to me. In the novel, it was left to the imagination, and that was okay. But on film, when Vamps are shown to be moving at blurring speeds, the Wolves just shouldn't be able to keep up. Even if Wolves could match their running speed, they would never be able to out-maneuver the Vamps.

I think Wolves matching Vamp speed is just PIS to me. The way its depicted on film, there is definitely a disparity between speed used when vampires fought other vampires and when vampires fought werewolves. I don't expect anyone else to accept this as PIS though, cause you know, of the strict on-screen rules etc.

That just tells me either Edward is an idiot, or he's resistant to things such as razors and pills, which jives with his emo-ness.

I think the Granite-like skin thing is fair though. As well as the healing factor.

Speed was inconsistent. Saw a clip of the werewolf fight scenes, didn't jive with that blurring-speed scene.

So is saying jive over and over your desperate attempt to sound hip, or what?

I've been saying "jive" since before you were born. Ya digg?

And therein lies the problem. That ain't no timeless phrase foo'!

So wrong; you're just upset I make a better black-person than you and I'm not even trying.

What's the difference between shucking and jiving? Do they go hand in hand?

Only "shucking" I know of has to do with corn, "jive" can mean several different things in slang.

Thats what I'm saying. If they didn't slow down the Vamps in those scenes the Werewolves would never catch them.

people typically jive while they shuck... if this were the 30's, in which case I'd probably be doing the shucking, (dunno about the jiving) and the internet wouldn't exist and i would have missed this riveting conversation.

So it's settled, we all agree that Robtard makes a better black-person than RE:Blaxican.

I don't think Werewolves keeping up with the Vampires is the PIS, it is that they blur. However, one might say that perhaps that's how they move and they blur at lower speeds, rather that it is how our eye reacts to their speed.
