Jacob vs. Edward

[newmoonluvr]

I love Edward he is so romantic when it comes to Bella and the one thing that pissed me off thought in the movie is that

EDWARD LEFT BELLA!!! How could he do that i mean i know it's for her safety but i mean come on she's in frickin' pain here and he just dumps right off the bat without any warning I personally would kill that guy if a guy did that to me everyone but Edward because he could hurt me very badly yeah so Edward is my choice i mean Jacob is hot without any shirt but he hurt Bella when he became a wolf and ditched her so I want to kill anyone who thinks Jacob Black is better that Edward Anthony Masen Cullen so there

[Edward Sucks Jacob RULES]

I guess you have to Kill me because I personally don't want a old. pasty, dead guy to be my boyfriend JACOB ROCKS. So Edward is good for Bella so I can have Jacob for me

[Edward's Heroin]

I am Team Edward. Team Edward 100%
Contrary to the image Meyer had tried to project Edward is in fact NOT perfect; he's jealous, self loathing, and at times a bit overprotective.
Regardless however of how he may go overboard sometimes, he never thinks about himself. He always wants what is best for Bella and what makes her happy. Even when he left, the intent was for her safety and so she could find the normal life he can't give her. Besides that era he has always been there for her when she needed him. When she was upset about Jacob's kiss, he was there in a heartbeat no oxymoron intended.

Jacob I believe was too pushy, and somewhat selfish being driven I believe at least partially by prejudiced against Edward. He got intimate with her without her permission and to me seemed to have no regard for what she wanted and what made her happy. And when she did make it clear that she wanted to be with Edward his hurt is understandable but he was not very accepting, whereas Edward even admits to Jacob and even once Mike being a better and more healthy choice for her. Maybe he never said that about Jacob I don't remember exactly but he said it about Mike as he was about to leave Forks. He also admits to leaving the pathway to Jacob for her, to leading her right to her feelings for him with the pieces of her broken heart and never tried to force her choice as I felt Jacob did. At the end of Eclipse he even says that he wants her to follow her heart and make the choice that makes her happy.

I can understand now a lot more than when I first read the series, what the Jacob fans see good in him and I don't completely hate him as I once did. I can see how he is a more realistic relationship as Meyer intended. It's on the DVD extras I believe she stresses that she purposely wrote Edward and Jacob to be fantasy vs. Real. Jacob has his good qualities, he's warm and fun and also there for her. In fact it was not until Eclipse that I really got pissed with him, in New Moon I loved how he brought her spirit in from the cold when Edward left. But I found a lot of his fight for Bella to be prejudice against Edward, he just didn't want her with him. I bet he would have been more accepting and not fought with so much fury if his opponent were for example Mike. I am not trying to say that he didn't genuinely love Bella, I believe he did but he also let his rivalry with the vampires take too much control sometimes. Same with with some of Edward's overboard moments such as her truck engine. He was just worried for her safety now that Jacob had become a young werewolf. He never tried to keep her from any other of her friends which proves some claims that he is possessive wrong. Not to mention in New Moon he tells her he would understand if she had moved on and didn't want him anymore. I don't understand how he can be called possessive when he says things like that.
