Team Edward vs. Team Jacob – Which Team Are You On? [POLL]

By Brittany

We all remember it: flipping violently through the book, pressing our nose against the hinge during the steamy tent scene while Jacob spooned with Bella and kept her warm. Gripping the pages while Edward and Bella lay in the giant bed he bought her, trying not to do the dirty out of fear that Edward would sink his fang teeth into the nape of her neck. . .

I’m going to need a moment….

OK. Ready.

Let’s face it: vampires versus werewolves might be the best thing that happened to pop culture since Bret Michaels’ Tour Bus and Facebook poking. And tonight this showdown comes to the forefront once again.

Today, for the third time, Twilight fans are camping outside of movie premiers, gripping their pre-purchased tickets, and kissing their Jacob Black posters before they prance to the premiere of Eclipse.  Eclipse is the third (and best, in my opinion) installment of the Twilight saga. Why is Eclipse the best portion of the saga? Two words: vampires vs. werewolves. Want more? Edward Cullen vs. Jacob Black.

It’s the epic battle between vampires and werewolves that has us wondering once again: who reigns supreme? Is it Jacob or Edward? We’re going to break it all down for you here, then you tell us who comes out on top.

Hotness:
We’ve got Jacob’s luscious washboard abs paired with a perfected tan versus Edward’s sparkling ashen skin under a ray of sunshine.

Jacob: Pretty abs would mean periodic scenes which take place unclothed, in the rain.
Edward: Since sparkling in the sunshine would risk exposing his identity as a vampire, Eddie provides periodic scenes which take place in dark, mysterious nooks (i.e. forests, bedrooms, meadows).

Don’t forget Jacob’s body temperature is a sizzling 110 degrees, while Edward sits in a temperature equal to a cold pre-historic stone rock. Would you rather be boiling in bed next to Jacob or freezing your precious buns off cuddling up to the rock-wall that is Edward Cullen?

Transportation:
It’s Jacob’s saucy red motorcycle versus Edward’s shiny silver Volvo S60 R.

I couldn’t help but let this remind of of a comparison between Justin Bobby and Ryan Cabrera. Duh, Justin Bobby would be wheeling around a juiced motorcycle and Mr. Chia-Pet-Head, Ryan Cabrera would handle his noble steed, Volvo. Then, I got grossed out and had to move on. Are you more of a ride-like-the-wind sorta gal, or a fancy-car-that-goes-fast kinda lady?

Age:
While Jacob basks in a ripe age of 17, Edward relaxes within a wise age of 104… going on 17.

Age always depends on the person. For me, I try to date someone older by give or take five years. But, if 104 years old is your style and the dude looks a healthy age of 17, by all means, get it girl.

Special Powers:
Jacob’s imprinting skills versus Edward’s ability to hear others thoughts and never sleep.

In case you’re not a teenie-bopper-going-on-22 like myself, you may not know what ‘imprinting’ is. Let me define: Imprinting is behavioral phenomenon among shapeshifters where a shapeshifter finds his or her soul mate [Shapeshifter: See Werewolf]. In life down on earth, ducks are also known to imprint. Call me crazy, but Jacob can imprint his furry werewolf arse on  me any day. And Edward? He never sleeps and can hear everything I’m thinking? Seems a little creepy to me. Just sayin’.

Personality:
Jacob engulfs a sweet demeanor as fluffy as his werewolf coat and Edward’s romantic one-liners are as sharp and tantalizing as his fang vampire teeth.

Jacob is always super sweet to Bella. After pronouncing his love for her he exclaimed, “I’m just here to be your friend. Your best friend, one last time.” Cue the syrupy awwws. Sweet right? But don’t worry, since Edward was born in 1918, he’s full of beautiful, poetic verse as well. “I prefer brunettes.” Edward Cullen, everybody!

Alright, we’ve laid it out for you, now it’s time for you to decide: vampires or werewolves?

    Werewolves may be strong on the outside or appearance, but in planning or strategic work, they lack. In the end, all they got is just pure brute strength. Vampires, on the other hand, could be strong (one hand could bounce werewolf across the floor), intelligent, sharp, and speedy (werewolves keep claiming they're faster than the vampires, but I don't see it. they lose to the vampires in speed.) Who cares Jacob's got a bod? You can find a lot of guys with that. Especially, on the topic of who loves Bella the most, Edward clearly wins. He loves Bella enough to consider everything and anything that is good for her. Example: if she picks Jacob, he would just let go (said in Eclipse). Also, because he didn't her to get sick from the snowstorm, he lets his most hated rival, Jacob hold her while she sleeps (he was shirtless). Finally, Bella is Edward's reason of living… Jacob, on the other hand, just keeps fighting and fighting, never caring or barely for what Bella wants. And when she picks Edward over him or even agrees to marrying Edward, Jacob gets angry and irritated, wanting to give up. That is not true love. True love is loving the person enough to respect whatever that person wants, even if it means giving up your own life for the sake of his/her's. Jacob loses.

    Just to let you know, Edward was born in 1901. He was turned into a vampire in 1918. simple fact. Anyway, I'm Team Jacob. I think Bella Is a whiny do-nothing that doesn't deserve either one of them. Bella's a bitch for making Jacob feel so bad all the time. FYI: Jacob can Imprint on me anyday!

    Edward is a girl(he sparkles like a princesess tiara)!

    When Twilght came out, I was team Edward. EVERYONE was! But in New Moon Jacob took off his shirt and I was like "oo, I wanna bake cookies on your stomach." and Edward was a part of my past. I saw Eclipse at the midnight showing and I think the best line of th movie was when Jacob got into the tent at the tent scene and told Edward the truth "I'm hotter than you are."

    When Edward said "doesn't he have a shrit" in one of the scenes, I was like "Why? Does him bieng hotter than you bother you? good."

    Edward is terrible because he left bella! Well, I'm actually glad he did because he gave Jacob the chance to make his move onto Bella.

    Well, I guess thats all I gotta say. Bye

    edward because he really loves bella.He only left her because he thought it was the best for her but you cant stop love that is why edward came back when he thought bella was dead.He wanted the best for her.Sure edward left bella but jacob left her too when edward came back.If he loved her so much why didnt he stay.He also forced bella to kiss him even though he knows bella doesnt love him that way.Edward would like bella to be happy no matter who she chooses but jacob wants bella to choose him even if she isnt happy wtih him.True love means they will accept your happines even if it isnt with them.Jacob is not a bad person just not right for bella.

    I don't know why everyone likes Edward…

    I mean sure, I do think he's hot in some ways but Jacob is WAY hotter. I love his abs and his beautiful tan. Edward is hairy, dirty white, and doesn't have any muscles. Jacob is sweet, fun, and kind and he really cares for Bella. Edward ditched Bella and he's so plain and boring. Plus, Jacob is a sweet 17. And Edward is a big 104. It's like would you rather marry a 17 year-old or a grandpa? Sorry, but…

    TEAM JACOB ALL THE WAY! HE'S SUPER HOT AND NICE! VOTE FOR TEAM JACOB!

    go figure you can't even search vampires without finding twilight crap :/
    okay i'll bite

    Edward's character was fine till the forth book where he was willing to let jacob have kids with bella, that screwed it up.

    Jacob's character is a dick all the way through.

    Bella is plain fucking annoying.

    the three actors/actress that played them really sucked! Our future generation of hollywood stars will be the end of good movies as we know it, so thank you Stephanie myers for making the un-talented popular. Now when morgan freeman, will smith and all the other talented stars leave, we will be stuck with a british knockoff, shark boy and the emotionless twit.

    and not to bust the bubble of every 12 year old heart out there but vampires are blood sucking sadists, not innocent virgins with johnny bravo hair styles.

    A freakin' vampire can't love anyone. Jacobs love for bella is bigger, than Edward.

    Edward definitely has more respect for Bella and loves her more and could protect her better. Jacob sucks.

  29. Team Edward says:
    Fri, 18th Nov 20114:43 pm

  42. Jacob's lover says:
    Thu, 25th Apr 20131:22 pm 

    I am team jacob all the way! I read all these comments and i have to say that edward sucks balls. He is all sad and self hating all the time. Jacob is happy and fun. Bella even said he was like the sun. Edward left bella for six months!! He was the reason victoria was after her. He’s the reason victoria found them during eclipse. She followed his scent! Jacob loves bella more than anyone. Those of you who say he didn’t love her because he didn’t accept her choice in edward are idiots! Who would accept that if the one you love is going to die and become an undead, blood sucking monster! Edward says that he would let bella be with edward but those are just words! His actions say otherwise. Jacob ran away because he was hurt that the love of his life was going to DIE! Him imprinting on her daughter wasn’t his fault! He didn’t ask for it to happen. Stephanie myer did that to force jacob to hang around bella. So she could have the best of both worlds. And those of you who call him a pedophile well what does that make edward! He is 107 years old bella is 17 when they first meet. Thats sick! Also he pushed bella into a freaking wall then dumped her! One of the other cullens could have stopped jasper but no he had to push her into the wall. How come alice didn’t see her cutting her finger anyway? Alot of holes in the birthday party scene. Also, and i can’t believe how you all can just forget this, he left her in the woods! Jacob came back for bella. He only stayed away because he was a freshly changed werewolf and wasn’t sure he could control himself! Edward knew he was a vampire and still drew bella in and made her fall in love with him then leaves. For her protection my butt! He just wanted to show he that he could leave her at anytime! Jacob was always telliing her how he would hang around and stay with her. Edward hangs it over her head that he could leave. The one time jacob threatens to leave bella kisses him. She saw there babies! Team jacob is forever! Team edward just happened because stephanie meyer is a dumbass!

Tell us what you're thinking...
