Here's the set-up for this most excellent video clip: "In this remixed narrative, Edward Cullen from the Twilight Series meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer at Sunnydale High. It's an example of transformative storytelling serving as a pro-feminist visual critique of Edward's character and generally creepy behavior. Seen through Buffy's eyes some of the more patriarchal gender roles and sexist Hollywood themes embedded in the Twilight saga are exposed in hilarious ways."
Having never read a word of any of the Twilight books, I am in no position to speak too critically of them, but it's pretty clear that Twilight is no Buffy.
UPDATE: My good friend "Someday Ph.D." puts it all even better than I could have. Have a read, won't you?
