Similarities between two of the supernatural creature stories of our time

Hello again :).

There's something that's been bothering me for quite a while. Hasn't anybody ever wondered why so many people are writing about supernatural creatures now-a-days? Not just any supernatural creature, but werewolves and vampires.

OK, I know. The success the Twilight Saga has tasted is very appealing to many people. Everybody wants to partake of the juicy prize. But, what's exceptionally annoying is the similarity between the many stories and novels that fall within this genre.

Let's take two examples and compare them.

Twilight and Vampire Diaries.

1. Both Bella and Elena are humans who happen to be very appealing to all vampires.

2.Both Bella and Elena happen to just stumble across a vampire (Edward and Stefan respectively, who incidentally are in love with them and have been waiting for them for God knows how many years).

3.There is another guy involved in the picture, who also happens to be in love with the girl( Jacob and Damon respectively).

4.The two contenders for the heart of the lovely damsel, share a strained relationship ( add to this some more drama where the new guy does something that protects our human, making our hero eternally grateful to him).

5.Let's welcome the werewolves. The gene is hereditary and not everyone can be werewolves.

6.The two creatures are poisonous to each other and may kill each other.

7.Vampire and werewolves are meant to be enemies from the dawn of time.

8.Our precious human is in love with both the vampire and the werewolf(or vampire).

9.Enter a third party, who has some kind of hatred towards our human and wants to either hurt her and her loved one's or kill them ( Victoria and Katherine respectively).

10.The oldest vampires of the world are alive and due to some reason or the other, drop in on our friends from time- to- time ( the Volturi and the Originals respectively).

11.Yee-haw!!!! Time for a big showdown. The oldest vampires v/s our crew of love lorn vamps and wolves.

12.Our human makes out with both the guys, although she claims to be in love with only one of them.

13.She also tries to put her life on the line to save the people she loves, but only ends up making a mess, that others have to clean up.

14.The hatred between the vampires and werewolves ebbs away, as they combine forces to save the girl.

15.Both Bella and Elena are paler(whiter) than the vampires (although this is a feat,since vampires are the palest things on Earth).

16.The idiotic, weak humans end up getting the jackpot, despite being the reason for so many vampires', werewolves' and humans' death.


There are many more similarities, but, I really don't have the time to write them all and I'm pretty sure that you don't have the time to read them.

Anyways, if anybody happens to read this article, please do let me know your thoughts. If you remember any other similarity, please do share.

Well, gotta go. Unlike Bella and Elena, we don't have an entourage that does our work for us.

See ya. Take care. Bye :).
