As Twilight’s TV remake prepares for production, there is no better time to look back on Edward Cullen’s legacy and see how the show can improve the franchise’s protagonist. Edward Cullen is almost as divisive as Twilight, the franchise that spawned him. According to some fans, Twilight’s brooding romantic antihero is a formative crush, a Byronic vampire with a well-hidden heart of gold, and a well-meaning figure who is unfairly maligned even among the franchise’s own fandom. According to others, Twilight’s Wuthering Heights-inspired love interest is a possessive, controlling monster, and his version of vampirism is terminally cringe.
