TWILIGHT VS THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.

The Vampire Diaries and The Twilight, both are shows revolving around vampires but have different theories.

HIGHLIGHTS –

Twilight and TVD are both vampire-based shows.
The major difference between the two is that in TVD, vampires burn in the sunlight while in Twilight, the vampires’ sparkle.
The romance aspect between the two is another ground to cover.

ROMANCE –

The romance in TVD was more on the intense side, while Twilight was sweet and simple.

Both the shows showed a love triangle. In Twilight, it was evident till the end that Bella would choose Edward, her one true love.

However, Elena’s love divided fans into Team Stefan and Team Damon, and while Stelena was simple and deeply in love, Delena was intense and fiery.

REACTION TO SUN –

In TVD, when the vampires would step out in the sun, they would burn. So most of the vampires would have a ring on their finger, made by a Bennett Witch, which would make it safe for them to step out in broad daylight.

In Twilight, we could see that the vampires did not prefer going to open places, or in daylight with the ‘commoners.’ This would be because as soon as they would encounter the sun, they would start sparkling. Their body would start shining as if they were made of diamonds.

WEREWOLVES –

The werewolves in Twilight had their actions under control. They had the ability to calm themselves down. While transforming, they didn’t have to undergo any pain. Theirs would be a smooth transformation.

However, the werewolves in TVD, like Tyler Lockwood, had to transform every full moon. Their transformation would take hours to complete and they would undergo immense pain. Once transformed, they had control of themselves and would kill the next vampire in sight.

CHARACTER SKETCH –

In Twilight, it was easier to choose which characters to root for. The bad or evil ones were highlighted from the very beginning like all of Edward’s family but none from the Volturi.The Vampire Diaries and Twilight

However, in TVD, the characters, when introduced, would be shown as evil and then their character would be transformed over time. The other one would be introduced as hateful but before the entry of a new one, their boss, they would be shown as likable and nice. This was, according to me, the biggest flaw of TVD.
