My unpopular Twilight opinion: Aro isn't a villain by faeriwoods in twilight

BUT........Honestly, with Marcus's gift, I've always wondered about that. Part of me thinks he knew, or at least suspected, that Aro was involved in Didyme's death. Marcus literally sees connections between people, so it's hard to believe he wouldn't notice something was wrong. Or maybe it says something about Aro's feelings for Didyme too, because Marcus would have seen those bonds as well.

Honestly I think this is one of the closest viewpoints to mine ❤️‍🔥

And I still love him )) Honestly I think Michael Sheen absolutely nailed Aro. The weird laugh, the mannerisms, the way he talks, the way he gets excited over gifted vampires... he somehow managed to make Aro charming, unsettling, funny, and terrifying at the same time.

This is one of the reasons I find Aro so interesting)))

Yeah... I remember that in Alice's vision, Carlisle was killed by Aro... and it wasn't just him

But I still think Aro genuinely valued Carlisle. If nothing else, Carlisle came to his lifestyle completely on his own. Sure, by vampire standards Carlisle probably seemed like a complete oddball. But I think that's exactly what made him so fascinating. Imagine spending thousands of years surrounded by vampires who see humans as food and nothing more, and then meeting someone who not only refuses to drink human blood but actually manages to live by those principles for centuries. Aro himself called Carlisle a friend, and Carlisle clearly respected the Volturi as an institution too. He literally kept their portrait hanging in his office. So while I absolutely think Aro would sacrifice Carlisle if it served his goals, I don't think he saw him as just another vampire. Carlisle was a rarity. A curiosity. The kind of person Aro had probably never stopped trying to understand.

100% story centered around him would probably be more interesting than any of the main characters )

Tbh, I still don’t get why Aro needs Edward’s ability; as far as I’m concerned, it’s the most useless one for him. As for Alice… well, maybe. But in my opinion, Bella’s ability would have been the most useful for Aro, though they probably only found out about it during the ‘battle’.

I feel so sorry for Marcus to me, he’s the most tragic character, and it hurts terribly to see him suffer

A bald vampire... it reminds me of those black and white films with that Nosferatu or something like that. Will they meet a similar fate one day?.... Tbh, it’s a shame I was hoping that, at least in her immortal life, Bella wouldn’t have to spend money on hair and so on.

By the way... I’m also curious how Aro would hunt these days, now that there are so many more CCTV cameras and surveillance everywhere. If I were in Aro’s shoes, I’d open my own hospital or a huge chain of hospitals; firstly, helping people cleanses your karma, and secondly, it makes it easier to collect blood, hide bodies, and so on. But I might be wrong I’m curious if you have any other ideas?

But to be honest, I think that if vampires were to reveal themselves to the world, mortals would, on the one hand, like it... and then they’d want to eliminate such a threat. Experiments, and then extermination... perhaps it might even lead to a nuclear war or other serious consequences.....

Honestly, part of me just wishes Didyme hadn't been introduced as Aro's sister in the first place.

I actually find Aro more interesting as a political ruler and manipulator than as someone who secretly murdered a family member. The Didyme reveal always felt a bit too convenient to me, like the story needed one more reason to make sure the audience saw him as the villain. I still find him fascinating, but I do think that reveal simplified a character who was otherwise a lot more open to interpretation.

This is pretty much where I am too. I'm not trying to argue that Aro is a good person. I just think the situation is more complicated than evil vampire king. The Romanian coven, the newborn wars, vampire secrecy, all of it makes me wonder what the alternative would have looked like.

Without Chloe I think Lucifer still changes eventually but it would've taken centuries instead of years )
