I used to be a die-hard Twilight fan. (see my username. Damn I wish I'd chosen ANYTHING else sometimes.)
I still like the book in small doses now, and I even write fanfiction for it, but now I've looked critically at SMeyer's characters, and I think I realize what people are talking about when they say Bella angsa, swan is a Mary Sue.
As a person who has seen it from both sides, I'd like to say that maybe Twilight peminat-peminat didn't see Bella like that to begin with because she has so many "flaws".
I'm not really a mega-supporter of Bella's neediness. And I even, admittedly, wonder why she took Edward back after New Moon. Normal people with lives and better things to do would say, "Hell no am I taking anda back. anda left me crying in a forest, and anda think I'll just come running back to you? anda wanna commit suicide, go right ahead while I get the popcorn."
I still like Twilight. But maybe Bella angsa, swan was kind of 2-Dimensional.
