Ghost Rider vs Twilight

Actually, her explanation is the best to date, imo.

Like I said, the stories are actually good. It's just...her prose suck major bawlz and she puts waaaaaaay over the top cheesy lines in her work. But just the stories' synposis are quite good.

And, Underworld vamps are bascially the same, when it comes to the change, as twivamps. They don't really die but they actually go through a physiological change.

On top of that, so are the Blade vamps.

It's just that their attributes are very much different with the twivamps being the most powerful out of all of those groups, by far.

Edit - Come to think of it, where ARE the classic undead vamps in modern literature/movies? I don't think I've run across the classic version of a vampire in popular cinema, in a while. Even Rice vamps aren't really undead but, instead, are possessed by an evil demon (a portion of it)

I suppose Dracula and his brides in the Van Helsing movie was the last to showcase classic vamps. Maybe 30 days of night.

Been a long time since I've seen IWTV, but I'm pretty certain Louis describes it as death and then rebirth. I somewhat recall when they turn Kristen Dunst, you see her die and Louis says something about "last breaths" and we see her die, as the vampirism is killing her. RJ loves this movie because he has a man-crush on Brad Pitt, he might be able to recall the scenes better.

True Blood is for certain. The vampires have to kill their victim, bury them and then they're reborn undead the following night. There's also plenty of mention of them being "dead."

In Queen of the Damned, Marius tells Lestat to not fear..it is only the BODY that dies.

You mean Anne Rice's Vampires. They are much closer to the Mythology. Twilight Vampires are a kind of mutation. Their strength, durability, reflexes and unique ESP abilities can all be results of insane genetic mutation.

Anne Rice's vampires all had unique abilities as well and saw all the crying statues and stuff.

Anne Rice's = Supernatural
Twilight's = Possibly not

This.

Anne Rice's vamps are, as fact, the way they are, due to an immensely powerful and evil spirit, possessing Akasha. Their powers come from that evil spirit. It doesn't get anymore metaphysical than that. 🙂

About the Meyer vamps: I bet 40 years from now we will look back and see how stupid it is that it only takes 2 more chromosomes to make the vampires change as much as they did. Well, 2 chromosomes worth of genetic data, of course. I think it would take much more than that to make a human turn into they way the vamps are in the Meyer's verse.

I wouldn't mind getting metaphysical with Akasha's bewbz.
