If any book-to-movie franchise has been a rousing success, it would be Twilight. Stephanie Meyer’s creation were already successful, but they skyrocketed to fame when they were adapted into a film franchise. Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and many more of the franchise’s stars were thrown directly into the public eye for years. Teams Edward and Jacob were invented to rally fans who preferred one of the two heartthrob boys in the infamous vampire-wolf love triangle.There are many iconic moments throughout the five separate movies and each character’s personality shines through those different moments that really seem to encapsulate their characterization or story arc.
Although this is one of the darkest scenes of the whole series, Rosalie isn’t afraid to lighten the mood a bit in an empowering way. As she recounts the moment when she was brutally assaulted and left for dead, Rosalie reveals how she got her sweet revenge when she became a vampire.
Many agree that this scene is questionable for a human leading a vampire into the woods alone. But this is the iconic Bella Swan in action. She is literally a danger magnet, as she is deemed throughout the story.
After Bella leads him into the woods by Forks High School, Edward takes the initiative to thoroughly jolt Bella into feeling fear. What’s truly iconic here is Edward’s desperation to frighten Bella by throwing a tree branch and running “impossibly fast.”
“As if you can outrun me. As if you can fight me off. I’m designed to kill,” is the clearly odd yet iconic moment when Edward conveys what his nature truly is. And yet, he sparkles in the sunlight a few moments later, the cherry on top of this entire iconic scene. The entire woods scene is Edward’s most memorable scene and it officially prefaces who he really is for the rest of the story.
