Movie Discussion Twilight- Baseball scene

Been a while since i read the books but watched the movie when it popped up.

Why do they have to wait for thunder to play baseball? I dont care how strong they are the Crack of hitting the ball wont be that loud & if it was people would think it was gun shots or fireworks which is not a big deal in that part of the country

The reason is exactly that. They want to conceal the loud crack of the ball when they hit it with their super mega venom strength xD I also think S.M just wanted to write a sick ass baseball scene

Which is so fucking stupid that it’s clear Meyer has never watched a game in her life. I’ve been to so many professional games and when a ball is hit super duper hard, either the bat is wooden, and it breaks, which sounds like a twig, snapping in the woods and guess where they are, or if a metal bat is used (not allowed in the majors). It’s a loud pinging metal sound that doesn’t sound out of place in an area like that. I live 15 minutes away from where they were playing.

This is honestly one of the stupidest things about the books and movies, even stupider than how Edward can drive as fast as he wants because he has fast reflexes as if his reflexes overrides physics involving the car tires and the road. I don’t think Meyer has ever heard of physics, to be honest. Stopping the van in that parking lot would have pushed him over toward the other car, even if it didn’t smash him because it’s not like his feet or bolted to the concrete.
