Twilight has had an interesting journey as a pop culture touchstone. The original books about sparkly vampires came out in the mid-2000s and quickly found an enthusiastic audience. The movie series soon followed, making stars of actors like Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. There was also a powerful backlash to the whole thing, with people decrying it as stupid, dumb, bad, etc.
It’s now been over a decade since the final Twilight movie came out in theaters. The series remains popular — there’s a TV show on the way — but a lot of the newer fans seem to enjoy it ironically. There’s a trend of recreating some of the goofier scenes from the movies on TikTok, and some pretty famous people are getting involved.
To wit, Game of Thrones veteran Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) has teamed up with her buddies to recreate a few scenes, including one where Edward Cullen’s vampire family welcomes tries to welcome his new human girlfriend Bella by preparing Italian food for her. They exchange awkward Italian greetings and then the one vampire smashes what she’s holding because…I dunno, vampires are weird like that:
Williams throwing down the oranges is perfect. She’s going places, this kid.
Here’s the original scene, for reference:

Williams and friends also recreated the famous baseball scene from the first movie:

Does Maisie Williams love Twilight? Does she hate it? I have no idea, but these are fun. And I would be more likely to watch the new TV show if she was in it, just saying.
