Edward Pic Change

Why can't i change the pic of edward. the one that's there is old and i wanted to update it with this one...

Why do you want to change Edwards pic? It looks good just the way it is and i want to keep it like that. ~~Edwardlover~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.213.197.97 (talk) 22:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC) File:Edward2988.jpg

Who put ALEX instead of BELLA???

I'm changing it! Princess Rebel (talk) 00:51, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

'Date of Death?'

Well, the dictionary definition of "Death" is "the termination of life". Although one could argue that since Edward's heart stopped beating, he is dead, I argue. I think of dead as not being able to talk walk, breath, function, ect. I think that the "date of death" should be removed.

i second that. well sort of. what else are we supposed to put? Princess Rebel (talk) 13:03, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I've changed it a bit. Does it look a bit better? ~ Bella Swan^? 11:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Better, but still not quite right. Hmmmm. Maybe date of human death? (just rearranging what you did) Princess Rebel (talk) 11:24, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I like the change, and it's probably the best we can do. We can't just invent fields in the infobox like "Date of human death"; there are only set categories that we can choose from. I think using "Date of death" this way is the closest we'll come to the truth. Andrea (talk) 14:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

this is true Edward is the LIVING dead tecnacly , he's alive but not human you know —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cullenfreak (talk • contribs) 16:39, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

But Edward never died. He transformed from one kind of living thing into another. It was just a change. For him to die, he'd have to be torn apart and burned. Perhaps the infobox can be changed to read "Became a vampire"? ~SunDragon34 (talk) 08:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I think that we should put "Date of Undeath" instead. I believe since Edward is literally dead, but, albeit, "still alive", we should use that term instead...also for the reason that Edward's death was also the start of him being one with the undead (from becoming a vampire). Anyone agree with me? --Ashley-kun (talk · contribs) 11:55, 05 January 2009 (UTC)

As I stated above (quite a long time ago!), we can't just invent infobox categories to make those headings. There are set options to choose from, and "date of undeath" is not one of them. "Date of death" is the closest thing we have. Andrea (talk) 04:22, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

'Description'

What on earth is up with this page! The description passage is totally unencylopedic, 'In the sunlight, his skin sparkles like a million facets of beautiful diamonds.' Come on. If it is indeed a quote, then put quotations around it and say 'He is described as etc. etc.

This sounds like it was written by schoolgirls. Heirware (talk) 06:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Well it very likely was written by schoolgirls. If you want to take up the task of doing a full cleanup/rewrite, that would be great. If I can ever find the time, I'll do it myself. Andrea (talk) 15:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought as such. Can't say I can do rewrite, because I haven't actually read the book. Heirware (talk) 05:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Subjective Writing

I find that most of this article is quite biased--"devastatingsly, inhumanly beautiful". I'm aware those are words that Meyer used, however, it's unnecessary to repeat them in the article. Too often do I see small quotes from Meyer's books to illustrate just how sheerly wonderful Edward is, and more wonderful adjectives editors come on their own besides. I know Edward is a much-loved character, however, the fangirls need to remember this is an encyclopedia, not a fansite. If you want to hear about how wonderful Edward is, find one of those fansites, or read the books. Otherwise, this article should maintain a out-of-universe, neutral point-of-view. Flutterby Lullaby 05:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, if we put it in a certain way we can still make the site unbiased. Whenever I have written something unneautral I have always referenced that either Bella or the books say that, I don't go straight out and say how hot he is. We do have to make it out that the book and Bella do refer to him as "completely and utterly perfect". Princess Rebel (talk) 13:06, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

But Bella IS biased - and of course she is, she's madly in love and believes Edward is the most perfect being to ever grace the earth - which is exactly how Edward sees her. You see where I'm going with this? Just because Bella sees him as HOTHOTHOT, really doesn't necessarily mean he IS. I mean, he's a vampire, so he's going to be pretty, but like I said, he's not necessarily as beautiful as BELLA describes.

See, the problem is, the books are only written from Bella's point of veiw, so we can't make up a different point of view that says that he isn't good looking. Besides, there are numerous accounts in the book of Bella describing how others in her school think that Edward is gorgous as well, so it's not like Bella is the only person thinking that Edward looks 'HOTHOTHOT'. ~ Bella Swan^? 13:00, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I see a problem with this article that is disconcerting: the description - not of his appearance - of his personality. It sounds far too biased; unlike his appearance, it's much easier to see his flaws when it comes to personality (for instance, the article's section on his personality calls him "romantic", etc., but fails to note some of the behavior patterns he's engaged in, specifically, obsessive behavior such as watching Bella sleep or spying on her via her friends' thoughts). This is something that worries me, as I get the feeling that the article is being a little too overrun with fancruft, to its detriment. Especially considering more than a few folks in real life have accused Edward of being an unstable if not outright abusive boyfriend (I can't think of any such sources to link to off the top of my head, but they're definitely out there). Having come here from Bella Swan's article - which certainly does not fail to feature a paragraph on the criticism of her - I figured I see more of the criticism against the character, and am dismayed to instead find his flaws glossed over or ignored entirely. 70.118.80.144 (talk) 00:56, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

But Edward is...not what you have described. I know what you mean; I used to think of Edward as controlling, manipulative, and downright an awful boyfriend, but then...gosh, he just ISN'T. He's wonderful, actually, if you can get over the mood swings. If you can't relate with the characters, you can't see that they're good people, and you'd think anyone who can relate is a horrible guy who deserves to be locked in prison. But Twilight is badly written in that it's SO subjective that such a error by a reader is possible. Anyway, I think the personality description is really just fine. 71.139.201.85 (talk) 09:18, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Alright, let me ask you--is it cute for a potential boyfriend of yours to stand in a tree outside your window? Eavesdrop into your friends's conversations to see what you think of him? "He's wonderful...if you can get over the mood swings." See, now, that's a flaw not mentioned in the article. And he has some crazy mood swings. The series is highly escapist, I'm sure you understand. Even if Meyer didn't intend for Edward's "romance" to be perceived as obsessive, a subjective reader can make, and argue, that assumption. Not to say obsession is his only flaw.

The article can be improved by being more critical, I'm sure. Rather than say "Edward thinks of himself as a monster", write instead that he has an inferiority complex that is detrimental to his relationship with Bella. Edward isn't perfect--if you take away the glamour of Bella's point of view, it's easy to see his flaws. The biggest problem, though, is not Bella's point of view, but Meyer's. I think she really think obsession is cute and romantic, but that's just my opinion. If Bella wasn't attracted to him, I'm sure the things he does would seem not only odd, but plain creepy. 74.70.204.125 (talk) 01:01, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Edward is extremely overprotective over Bella, because she's human, and in his eyes, easily breakable. He's so terrified of losing her he goes to extremes to keep her safe. And that's Edward's reason for being so nervous and moody and implusive. The book tells us that he loves her to the point that he can't bare a world without her, so he does crazy things to ensure Bella's safety. A protective, "guardian angel"-like male protaginist is a long-standing cliche in romance novels, especially when compared to the "physically weak" female protaginist. This book isn't feminism, just some gender roles. Back to the point, Edward's behavior is justified and can be considered romantic and even sweet, in a weird, weird way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.201.85 (talk) 08:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey! I think Edward is great the way he is and i like that he is overprotective of Bella and that is the way it should be i would want to be extreme and he is and there is nothing you can do about it now can you! ~~Edwardlover~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.213.197.97 (talk) 00:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

So you think that he's absolutely perfect and there's nothing that should ever be added ever because he's just so perfect? If I say he's not (thus proving that there is not one universal opinion), and many people agree, than it's worth being put in, no?

I can give you one major point: Edward is abusive. The obvious point is that he watched her as she slept--yes, when she found out, she was okay with it, but he had no way of knowing that. He went into her room and invaded her privacy without her consent or knowledge, having no idea if she cared. He abandons her in New Moon, friendless because he made her that way (at one point he referred to her friends as shallow and she dumped them, besides that she devoted all of her time to him) and preventing her best friend--Alice--from ever seeing her. He may have wanted to protect her, but he had no right to say who she can or cannot see, especially since Alice was her only friend. Then he goes as far as to prevent Bella (physically, if necessary) from seeing Jacob. He believes he would protect her, but he's just as dangerous, not to mention the jealousy. Openly acting on jealousy is the biggest sign of abuse. On that further point, he is constantly scaring her with how much he's a monster, and how dangerous he is, but does nothing to stay away from her. In New Moon, when he tried, he even admitted he'd have just come back.

When Bella disagrees with him, he will outright defy her choice. Did she want to go to prom, have a birthday party? Didn't she want to stay with Charlie when James attacked? But no, he disregards all of her choices. She didn't even enjoy prom "like a human", which is what she wanted--she just spent it with Edward. When Bella wants to keep her baby, Edward admits he would have killed the baby anyway if not for the protection of Rosalie and Carlisle. He uses marriage as a bargaining chip to prolong Bella's vampirism: two separate issues that he hooked together. This is especially bad considering Bella's view towards early marriage.

And one I didn't myself think of, but is no less true is that he destroys possessions of her when Edward leaves her in New Moon.

Don't you think abusers try to rationalize what they do? It's still abuse. Thinking that Bella needs his protection and removing her choice and manipulating her into his decisions is signs of an abusive, unhealthy relationship. Abuse doesn't have to be just physical. Mental and emotional abuse is what Edward displays.

Edward has a controlling and extreme personality that levels on bipolar. I gave you a valid argument that many others share. Why aren't I allowed to add this? 74.70.204.125 (talk) 23:00, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

If we want to get into this, then you're opening up a whole can of worms about how this whole series is just some fat mormon schoolgirl's actualization of her insipid, spineless teenage dreaming. The whole series is a feminist's nightmare of pushing the usual neurotic, co-dependant he-beat-me-because-he-loves me rural bullshit into teenage girl's brains. Your best bet to remain true to Wikipedia NPOV is to find some reference-able critique of the characters utter lack of substance outside of being yet another psychotrope to imprint acceptance of sub-primate intelligence and emotional abuse as the gold standard of male behaviour that all teenage girls should seek out in future partners. 68.160.172.176 (talk) 17:26, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree. The article doesn't have to go as far as saying he is an abusive boyfriend (though he certainly is, in my opinion) but his flaws, which are obviously there, should be added. This sounds like a love letter from a fangirl at the moment. Kayanna89 (talk) 15:07, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

True. Let me clarify by saying I don't really intend to add that he's abusive (although the article wouldn't suffer by making a note that's the extreme of one level), but that he is a flawed character. Some of the greatest heroes--actually, THE greatest heroes--in romance literature are very flawed characters. Just ask Mr Rochester or Heathcliff. 74.70.204.125 (talk) 22:06, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I have to say that this has gotten way too far. There is no way to possibly make this article PERFECT. Everyone has there own opinion and the only way to get it close is by going by what the auther, Stephenie Meyer, is trying to get across- which even in doing that, it's still going to come out in a million and two different ways. No matter what, someone is going to think something different. Of course, each of her characters will have certain flaws. If they didn't the novel would turn out completely and insanely wrong. Anyhow, what I'm trying to get across is, we can't CHANGE the novels. It's not in our reach. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackie Simmons (talk • contribs) 02:31, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Ok... I think that whatever the heck this whole long paragraph thing is about is just... well WRONG! Edward Cullen is not abusive or bipolar... Trust me I would know... MY SISTERS MORE BIPOLAR THAN THIS GUY! lol but if you think he's abusive then why do so many girls just love him? Huh? Answer that. No girl is that stupid to want to date a bipolar over controlling vampire! LOL :D Miss Sunshine 23:26, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Just because people think he's attractive doesn't mean he isn't abusive. --Pstanton (talk) 00:20, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Edward Cullen is not abusive or bipolar... Ok, forgive me for my language but are you friggin dense? They just pointed out major signs of this kind of behaviour! This book is INCREDIBLY sexist and im the kind of guy that doesnt put too much tought into those kind of things. "He beats me because he loves me" is the exact mentality this Bella person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.109.102.252 (talk) 03:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh...Wait...did you want the page to be renamed Edward Cullen (Twilight) and this page (the article, I mean) should redirect to Edward Cullen (Twilight)? Bella 17:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I fixed it...as you can see. Tell me if I'm wrong. Bella 17:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi not sure if i am doing this right but i felt a massive complusion to respond in some fashion to clais that Edward Cullen is some how portrayed as a restraining order waiting to happen.

It has been some time since i have read anything (or indeed seen a film) which encapsulates romance so fully. The last time was probably wuthering heights and heathcliff, Edward is, yes i will conceed, obsessed with bella and the so called 'controlling' behaviour outlined by others (watching while asleep, following her,dictating choices of friends etc) could easily be regarded as what not to look for in your typical teen romance. But here is the rub... this is not a typical romance.

People forget or maybe don't realise that love is often not ideal, it is painful, and wonderful and sometimes you would do anything to keep that person close, even things which may not, at first sight,be considered socially acceptable or even polite!! I think it is very easy to forget that somethimes people have a need for each other which is far more deep than 'love' it is a joining of souls. Like cathrine said of heathcliff, her love for him was as unchanging as the rocks of the earth when compared to the inconsistancy of the world aroung her.

Byronic hero's seem to be a dying breed, for a great many people their experience of love is very much bitter sweet, and personally i think that this is why the twilight books and film have appealed to teenagers as they remember those bitter sweet moments more than any of us. I teach in a secondary school and these books are hugely popular among the older girls and to be honest i can see why, I will admit that i am biased. I married my own 'Edward' in the summer, very much my personal byronic hero who some how on a daily basis manages to make his faults perfections. Please dont forget that this is a book about love... surely that is always a reasonably good thing! - Also am sure i am not alone in totally not minding being watched while i sleep if it is because your soul mate cant bare to be without you!! - lighten up we all need a little love! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.64.168.120 (talk) 22:20, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Edward's mother

where does it say she knew Carlisle was a vampire? OMG!!!!! shes a vampires!!!!!! no wayyy She told him to save Edward any way he could, but there's no proof she knew, is there?

There is no proof, and nowhere did anyone outright say she knew, but it was deeply hinted in the book that she knew Carisle was "special". -Bella 20:55, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

She believed that Carlisle could help her son not that he was a vampire. --70.230.158.159 (talk) 17:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

In Twilight it said that Carlisle turned Edward in to a vampire first and the with his "wife" Esme. So that must mean he know her and was wanting to save her from dieing. ~~Edwardlover~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.213.197.97 (talk) 00:38, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Gender-specific words

When writing about females (i.e. Bella, Tanya, and Rosalie) don't describe them with masculine words. I've gone through and fixed that, but of all the grammatical things you could avoid, that should be easiest. (It said Bella was his "fiancé", and Rosalie and Tanya were "blond".) --FaerytaleMalice (talk) 08:28, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Uh, who has a problem with blond? I use blonde and blond, whichever comes out. Apart from really obvious stuff like Mr and Mrs, Don and Donna, and Fiance and Fiancee, all this masculine feminine stuff is all old fashioned.

At least, that's what I've been taught in oz, and I am a humanities student. Princess Rebel (talk) 08:03, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, depending on where you live, some people spell things different ways, which was probably the primary reason for people having spelling things differently. ~ Bella Swan^? 11:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, so what exactly are we using for Wikipedia? American, British or Australian? Please look at my user page and see The Great Debate for more details. Princess Rebel (talk) 03:53, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

That depends on the article. For the Twilight pages we are using American spelling, since they are American books. Andrea (talk) 04:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

True true. Ha, my American is becoming so much better from editing wikipedia! only thing is, I keep failing spelling tests at school now! Princess Rebel (talk) 11:25, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay, you guys wanted to use gender-specific words but seriously, someone keeps changing my edits. ACCORDING TO YOU, ROSALIE IS BLONDE, not BLOND, and COULD SOMEONE PLEASE LEAVE IT THAT WAY!!! IT IS NOT A SPELLING ERROR!!!Princess Rebel (talk) 23:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

In order to avoid conflict in the future, make sure you are saying in your edit summary that you are "fixing a typo: 'blond' should be 'blonde', as the former is the masculine spelling of the word", for instance. It doesn't always help, but it does sometimes at any rate. :) 70.118.80.144 (talk) 01:00, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Spoilers

This page is FILLED with spoilers. Like, in Edward's description it says "Spouse: Isabella Swan (fiancee)". Big one. Perhaps a warning? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.95.67.8 (talk) 23:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

According to WP:SPOILER, if you don't want spoiling, then don't go to the page. Commen sense should tell you that. ~ Bella Swan 00:26, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

As much as I think that Wikipedia's schizophrenic policies on spoilers are annoying, and as much as I may disagree with the current "don't bother to label spoilers" policy... really, they break the article into each book! Seriously, you should be able to tell from the table of contents that it's going to spoil you for stuff, especially with the books out for so long. 70.118.80.144 (talk) 01:11, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Regardless whether people should be expecting them or not, can someone put a "spoiler warning" on the page please? According to user Bella Swan's link, spoilers are usually included in the plot. Even if someone skips over the "Appearances" section, they see spoilers in the Character description (such as the right hand column, listing family members of Edward Cullen). It would also help many people who do not know what to expect from Wiki. Thanks. Zizibe (talk) 18:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

It's really not anyone's desicion, if you read spoiler policy it will tell you why. I mean, if you look up a book in an actual encyclopedia, there is not spoiler warning. Why then should Wikipedia have one? Use common sense, and there will be no problems. ~ Bella Swan^? 17:36, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok so i've juuust watched the film, Twilight. I get on here and my boyfriend asks who is Edward Cullen so I try to find him a decent character profile of him or something.

I took the children section off because it completly spoiled breaking dawn for me. i put renesme on the family section as his child. i don't know why we have to put a section that says child on it(Katiesmartgirl56 (talk) 00:36, 20 February 2009 (UTC)) aka: your fellow purple people eater

Sorry, but Wikipedia's guidelines state than any article can have spoilers, they shouldn't be labelled, and if you come to the article, you have to be a guy who knows everything, since you have to know that there are going to be spoilers, and exactly where. Is it stupid, pointless? Yes. But the guidelines are made and no one gives a damn if we don't like them ≤ ^alvareo [speak to me] ≥ 21:33, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Edward can read minds? Is this what a vampire is?

Hey guys, I'm no vampire expert, but apparently Edward who is claimed to be a vampire, eats mountain lions, can freely walk into sunlight, read minds, etc.

Does Twilight butcher the definition of a vampire? Just wondering. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.1.35.136 (talk) 19:16, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Yes, it does. Joey12345345 (talk) 18:19, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

The modern equivocation of "vampire" is vastly different than the original one. I'm not sure how this question applies. Still, if in the book Edward is called a vampire, that's what he is. You can further explain the differences ("vampire a la the Twilight universe are..."), but that's the correct word. 74.70.204.125 (talk) 04:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I question whether it should be included at all. If there isn't much to say, there's no point saying it. Furthermore, the current point made there isn't uniquely specific to him, but rather to his relationship with Bella. So I would aim for remove at this stage. Greg ^{(t • c)} 17:59, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Seeing as the Bella Swan article has a decent sized reception section, it seems that there are plenty of reviews discussing the main characters, just that no one has made an effort to collate them here yet. I don't agree with removing a section that is perfectly viable - the article is supposed to be broad in coverage, and equally, the creation section is just a sentence long, but it would be wrong to remove that just because it needs work. This out of universe information needs cultivating and improving, being far more important in an encyclopedic sense than a simple recanting of Edward's storylines. Frickative 18:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

edward can read minds because some vampires have supernatural gifts. edward himself has a gift of mind reading. the only person or thing that is prone to this gift is his wife bella cullen

He isn't driving a S60 R Volvo for heaven's sake! It's a bloody C30 R!!!!

Just a notice to everyone, and this has really bothered me for a long time now, but Edward Cullen doesn't drive a S60 R Volvo but a C30 R (according the movie). You can clearly see that. Honestly how can people make that kind of mistake? It's so obvious that the car from the movie doesn't look like S60 R. And I'm suprised even Stephenie Meyer's offical website has made that mistake. They even have pictures of the S60 R and don't they see the difference between the S60 R and the car from the movie (C30 R)???

Since I can't find the contact information to the admin of her website, I do hope that someone here can help me to correct the mistake, so everyone can be notified about this huge mistake (which has spread all over the cyper world). Please. It's really annoying. (I'm weird I know, but somehow I find it quite embarassing, because the difference is so obvious.)

(Visit Volvos website to see the pictures and informations.)

Appreciate the help!

There is no mistake- he drives a C30 in the movie, but an S60R in the book. Andrea (talk) 00:44, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Criticism

I notice there is no section dealing with public reception and any criticism of his character. There is no mention that Edward's relationship with Bella could be characterized as abusive. This article plays exclusively to one viewpoint. Frankly, this article needs to be a bit more critical and include some flaws Edward has. --Pstanton (talk) 00:49, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah, never-mind, I see there is a "reception" section at the very bottom. But maybe it should be split into two separate sections, the reception of his character in the movie, and his character in the books? --Pstanton (talk) 01:07, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Is there really a point in making two sections? All of the reception included right now is based on the book character, even the initial sentence from MTV Movies (it was in reference to the books, since the movie hadn't come out yet). Unless you have a lot more reception (particularly about his character in the movie) to add that would distinguish the two. Andrea (talk) 02:22, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I see your point, but perhaps the reception section should be moved up, into the main article and out of the movie section and expanded. Since it deals with more then the movie, I feel like it should be in "Characterization", perhaps, not "Film Portrayal" as it deals with more then the film. Just a thought. --Pstanton (talk) 00:27, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

'Reception' shouldn't be a sub-section of anything, but a stand alone section - which is exactly what it is at the moment. Frickative 01:31, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Maybe you could slightly alter the below sentence?

"Bella successfully seeks his family’s support on turning her into a vampire."

This is right after a sentence referring to Jacob Black, possibly leading the reader to infer that the Black family supports her decision to turning into a vampire.

I would request that the original sentence be changed over to: "Bella successfully seeks Edward's family's support on turning her into a vampire."

OR:

"Bella successfully seeks the support of Edward's family on turning her into a vampire."

Minor POV cleanup

I've removed/changed a few bits of the article that I think violate WP:NPOV. Please do not revert these, instead, make comments here if you disagree. Firstly: I've changed "His scent and voice are enormously seductive." to: "His scent and voice are enormously seductive to Bella.", pretty uncontroversial I should think? Secondly I've removed the word "dashing" from the sentence "the dashing character of Edward has developed somewhat of a cult following". My most controversial edit I should think is my third: which removed "and can be very romantic" from the sentence: "He retains some outdated speech from his human life in the early 20th century, and can be very romantic", there has been some disagreements over this sentence in the past: some one mentioned that there was a discussion about that on the talk page here, however I found nothing, even when I worked my way through the history, also someone gave a reason for keeping it because: "that's how the book presents him", however, I could equally argue that the book presents him as a stalker, obsessive and... well, my point is made, it is a point of view, far better just to leave it out. Please do not revert my edits without discussing it here first, thanks Spitfire^Tally-ho! 23:05, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

I support the changes. However, I wanted to comment that the used of the word "dashing" in your second change was specifically inserted with quotation marks because it was quoting the article that is used as a reference for that sentence. Not a big deal to keep it out anyways, but it wouldn't qualify as POV if it remained. Andrea (talk) 03:42, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I did notice that, I meant to put quotation marks in when I displayed my changes above, but I forgot, and you've pointed it out any way. Anyway, I'd say best to keep it out the article, it gives undue bias in my opinion, far better to keep everything as neutral as possible, particularly in such a controversial article. I know you didn't really suggest putting it back in Andrea, however I make this comment for the benefit of anyone who thinks it should go back, all the best. Thanks for your comments Spitfire^Tally-ho! 08:31, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

POV problem with picture caption

I don't know how to edit articles, but it seems like the caption for the picture of Edward has a POV issue currently. It isn't neutral point of view to characterize him as a "Poo King." I'm sorry.

Abilities, Interests, and Hobbies

{{editsemiprotected}}

The vampires in the twilight saga all possess certain abilities and talents such as superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and agility, and the power of being ridiculously beautiful. Many vampires in twilight have an extra ability that they only possess. Edwards is the ability to read minds. One interesting thing about this is that he cannot read Bella’s mind at any time, which intrigues him. His scent and voice are enormously seductive to Bella, so much so that he occasionally sends her into a pliant daze entirely by accident. Edward, like other vampires, does not need to breathe, though he chooses to do so out of habit and because it is helpful to smell his environment. He cannot digest regular food, and compares its attractiveness for him to the prospect of eating dirt for a regular person. He places food near him and picks at it, as though he is eating it. As well, like other vampires, Edward is not able to sleep, therefore, no beds reside at his home and he spends all the free time from sleeping learning skills such as musical instruments, educating himself, and watching Bella in her sleep. Edward is musical, able to play the piano like a virtuoso. He often plays his original composed music for his adoptive vampire mother Esme and then soon for Bella. He enjoys a wide range of music, including classical, jazz, progressive metal, alternative rock, and punk rock, but dislikes country. He prefers indie rock to mainstream, and appreciates rock and classical music equally.[8] He mentions in Twilight that he likes music from the fifties better than the sixties, dislikes the seventies, and says the eighties were "bearable". A hobby of Edward's is collecting cars.[8] He owns a Volvo S60 R and an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish as a "special occasion" car. He also gave his vampire sister Alice a Porsche 911 Turbo as a gift in Eclipse. He bought a motorcycle to ride alongside Bella, but gave it to his vampire brother Jasper. The Cullens have a ridiculous amount of wealth. They accumilated money throughout their decades of existance and Edwards adoptive vampire dad Carlise, is a doctor. With more than enough money to handle at times, money is never an issue with the Cullens. Edward often wishes to buy Bella nicer things than she already owns such as a new vehicle, to replace her beaten down truck.

Edward's Physical Apperance

{{editsemiprotected}}Edward, like all vampires in the Twilight series, is viewed by normal humans as impossibly and significantly beautiful. Bella often suggests that Edward’s appearance is “perfect” or “flawless”. At various points in the series, she compares him to the mythical Greek god Adonis. His skin is "like marble"—very pale, ice cold, and sparkles in the sunlight. She describes his facial features as being perfect and angular—high cheekbones, strong jaw line, a straight nose, and full lips. His eyes, once green, are now described as topaz. Like other vampires, Edward’s eyes change color along with the mood he is in. They became dark and black when he thirsts for blood, such as when Bella first encounters Edward in the science lab when he catches her scent and hungers for her. His eyes turn a melted gold color when he is calm and not thirsty or threatened. Bella describes that models would sell their souls to have a face like Edward's. His hair, which is always in casual disarray, retains the unusual bronze shade that he inherited in his human life from his biological mother. Edward is 6'2", and has a slender but muscular, pale body that is sculpted to perfection as bella puts it. When Edward steps into the sunlight, his entire body begins to sparkle like diamonds in the sun. This is why vampires in the Twilight series cannot go outside when it is sunny because the sight of them is just too beautiful for the human race to handle.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Toekneelynn (talk • contribs) 04:44, October 6, 2009

Characterization

{{editsemiprotected}} Edward at first is depicted as a mysterious stranger who is arrogant and moody to others around him, particularly, the main character Bella. Once Bella and Edward get closer throughout the series, he is now viewed as polite, but still moody as he saves her from being crushed by a moving van, but tells her he does not want to be friends with her. After giving into his desires, Edward becomes loving and charming towards Bella but still possesses the previous qualities to others around him. He is very protective over Bella and puts her safety, humanity and welfare before anything else. He often over-analyzes situations and has a tendency to overreact, especially in situations where Bella's safety is at risk. He retains some outdated speech from his human life in the early 20th century where his last days as a human were spent. the chivalrous ways of the men from that century are carried out by edward. Edward sees himself as a monster, and after falling in love with Bella, he desperately wishes that she did not fall in love with him because this would make her life easier than being in love with a vampire. He wants Bella to remain human throughout the series and not become a “monster” like him. He tries to put Bella through any and every human experience he can while she is still mortal. He makes her promise to him that she will wait until she marries Edward to become a vampire. Edward keeps pushing back the date of Bella’s transformation as long as possible by coming up with new reasons such as graduation, college, marriage, and even a pregnancy, showing his persistency and stubbornness —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toekneelynn (talk • contribs) 04:47, October 6, 2009

Age

The age of Edward is incorrect. Because he is technically not 104 in the first time he appears in Twilight, he is actually 103 (June 20, 2004 he was 103) and not until New Moon was he 104 (as its based from September 2005). Also in the movie as it is supposed to be March 2008 (then in the book he would only be 106 years old). During the book series Edward ages from 103-105 but the movie ages are incorrect, as in New Moon he cannot be 109 when we are only in 2009 but the movie is supposed to be set the September of the same year, making it 2008 and therefore would only be 107. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charmz2009 (talk • contribs) 16:39, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Edward Cullen

Edward Cullen is a character in Stephine Meyer's Twilight series. He is a vampire who marries a human, Bella Swan. Eventually, after having their daughter Renessmee Cullen, a half human half Vampire, Bella beccomes a vampire. Edward Cullen was born on June 20th 1901. He became a vampire in 1918, when he was 17. He was changed by Carlisle Cullen his "father". Edward's original last name was Masen. Both he and his parents were dieing of the Influenza. His mothers last words were { to carlisle } " do ANYHTING in your power to save him". So Carlisle decided to turn soemone into a vampire for the first time. Edward was given the ability to read minds while he was transformed. His family inculdes, his wife Bella Cullen, his daughter Renessmee, his "mother" Esme, his "father" Carlisle, and his "brothers" and "sisters", Emmett and Rosalie, and Alice and Jasper.

Edward is a non-real charecter(sorry for bad spelling) from new moon. He is a very attrative, vampire. when bella falls in love with him, her life is in danger,so he leaves.

Edward's Family

In Breaking Dawn Edward and Bella get married, they honeymoon on Isle Esme (a gift to Esme from Carlisle). Edward and Bella have a baby girl and named her Renesmee (Renee and Esme put together) Carlie (Charlie and Carlisle put togetheer) Cullen. After Renesmee is born Edward and Bella both have to face the fact that Jacob Black (a were-wolf) imprints on their baby girl. When Irina (andenali clane vampire) comes to apoligize for not coming to the wedding she see's Bella, Renesmee, and Jacob on a hunt she runs off to the Volturi. Edward and all the Cullens and were-wolves have to convince other vampires to stand with them against the Volturi. In all the preparation for the fight they relise that Bella's gift is that she is a "shield". They help Bella "extend" her gift to other people. Which helps them defete the Volturi in the end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.178.24.9 (talk) 21:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Edward has never stated that he enjoys any form of rock music. In fact, the decades that he dislikes would suggest that he doesn't care for it at all. Heavy metal, in particular, only dates back to around 1970 at the earliest. 76.182.66.178 (talk) 22:02, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Editing task force

This article feels like it's being run by a bunch of 13 year old girls. Someone needs to come in here and edit with a neutral perspective. 74.105.33.254 (talk) 02:30, 20 December 2009 (UTC) Also Im pretty sure that if you read the book Bella did NOT choose to become a vampire, she may have wanted it, but when she was changed she was practically unconscious.

Someone please make the necessary corrections! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.226.228.157 (talk) 06:22, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Bella begged to become a vampire for a long time beforehand and she said that she would turn after Renesmee was born so she could be the mother she wanted to be. By keeping Nessie and not aborting, she consciously made a decision to turn into a vampire. As for you comment about thirteen year old, it kinda is. Mostly only teenage girls read these books. So if you object to the writing age, point out specific things to be changed or change them yourself. Sazza21 (talk) 10:02, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Also it is Alice Hale not Cullen and it's Rosalie Cullen not Hale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.231.53 (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

I understand what you're saying but on many occasions she's referred to as Alice Cullen because that's her original name and Alice Hale is the name she got after marrying Jasper. FYI bookgirl (talk) 10:22, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
