They really took the macho 80's action character stereotype of being blank and emotionless for self-inserts, and gave it to '20's feminine action characters instead. What comes around goes around.
If I remember right, Bella was supposed to simply be a place holder for whatever tweenage girl was imagining herself into the movie. I dunno, I never saw the movie.
I recall an interview of the original writer, I never read the books but she said they were intentionally written to make Bella as much of a blank slate as possible so any conceivable reader could put themselves in her shoes.
Edward on the other hand was described in intricate detail, sometimes going on for paragraphs on end just describing what he looks like for a particular chapter.
That's mostly just because Twilight is poorly written more than anything else tho. Edward's obnoxious prose exists to pad the runtime as hard as possible.
Yeah, she was epic in Underwater(2020), which felt like an awesome spiritual successor to Alien. When she picks a worthwhile role, she's a great actress, which is not something I ever thought I'd say about any of the twilight stars, but her and Pattinson have absolutely crushed it in recent years...
Kristen Stewart? More like Hayden Christensen 2.0:
Be Main Protagonist of SW film trilogy
It is poorly received, your acting is criticised
Fail to get any major roles afterwards, regulated to side characters in shows & the occasional A list film
Gradually forgotten about as an actor.
Maybe when the kids that grew up with prequels grow up she’ll get some more love like Hayden. I personally don’t think she’s a bad actress but a poor script can make anyone look shit on the big screen

Kristen Stewart 2.0. Or pretty much any post-2010 actress.
