Karen Traviss and her endless insistence, in every book she writes, that the Jedi are evil - that they \\\'\\\'deserved\\\'\\\' Order 66 and genocide - because they led armies of clones. Combined with her adoration of ProudWarriorRace Mandalorians and the fact that \\\'\\\'she\\\'s never read the rest of the EU\\\'\\\', this makes her writing into something of a slog. All Jedi are either nasty and hopelessly incompetent, hopelessly incompetent, spineless, and slavishly worshipful towards Mandalorians, or have some vestige of competence and promptly leave the Jedi to become Mandalorians. No exceptions. She takes a character named Scout, a Padawan who in the hands of her creator was weak in the Force but fiercely determined to be a Jedi and respected by Yoda himself for it, and makes her [[CharacterDerailment happily join the armored mercenary people because \\\"The Jedi thought she was weak\\\".]]
* The \\\'\\\'{{Twilight}}\\\'\\\' series has a bunch of creepy and badly written moments, but the one that stands out in my mind was when Bella was \\\"flattered,\\\" to find out her new boyfriend - with the very, very strong urge to drink her blood - had been secretly breaking into her house for the last few weeks to watch her sleep. He even offers up the excuse that he had nothing better to do at night. Yes, Edward, it\\\'s perfectly okay to stalk someone every night because you\\\'re \\\'\\\'bored\\\'\\\'.
** For this troper, the DethroningMomentOfSuck for \\\'\\\'Twilight\\\'\\\' occurs at the end of the fourth book \\\"Breaking Dawn\\\", when [[spoiler:the horde of enemies bows to the ContractualImmortality of the MarySue Empress and her TastesLikeDiabetes daughter and walks away without even starting the massive battle they came for. I was expecting a Fight Scene, goddamnit! Or at least a BolivianArmyEnding.]]
** I propose an honourable mention to the Vamp Tooth Caesarean. Oh, hell, an honourable mention to Renesmee in general starting with THE NAME.
** I checked out way earlier in the series -- at the end of book one, after spending almost 1/3 of the book setting up the huge confrontation between the Cullens and The Big Bad, [[spoiler: the whole fight happens off-camera while Bella is unconscious]].
** I propose an honorable mention to the fact that the vampires SPARKLE. It makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever even in context and felt like a really, really \\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\' bad cop-out. Yes, it\\\'s creative, but it gave way for \\\'\\\'TONS\\\'\\\' of FridgeLogic.
** How about Edward taking apart Bella\\\'s engine and having his (vampiric, much more powerful) sister kidnap Bella so that she can\\\'t see Jacob? And with the flimsy excuse that it was for her safety. I was so frustrated after this point - why would she want to stay with someone who could and chose to control her like that?
** For me, the [[DethroningMomentOfSuck worst part]] of Twilight was Jacob\\\'s Character Development. I was fine with the wolf thing--that was hot. But later, in the fourth book, where he [[spoiler:imprints on an infant]] was just SICK. AND. WRONG. to me. Sure, Meyer may have said that it\\\'s not [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean like that]] yet, but the \\\"yet\\\" implies that it will be. So. Great. Beastiality and Pedophilia. Icky, icky, icky! I also have that issue with the whole Edward/Bella thing. They even [[LampshadeHanging said it in the second movie]]!! \\\"Maybe I shouldn\\\'t be dating such an old man. It\\\'s gross.\\\" << Said by BELLA.
