"Makes Money" does not equal "Is High Quality", Riko. People will buy the stupidest shit, and the LCD (Lowest Common Denominator) will always rule the marketplace. In this case, the LCD happens to be tween/former-tweens who think that a dude smashing his woman's car engine is a sign that "He REALLY loves her, awwwwwwwww."

Out in the real world, we call that kind of behaviour controlling to a dangerously obsessive degree, and just a step away from domestic abuse if not outright Stalker-Murder.

And yes, Stephenie Meyer should TOTALLY give in to the trolls, because her writing is at best hackneyed and trite, and at worst gives young women a COMPLETELY fucked up idea of what love is.

EDIT:

By the by, I didn't say it was a failure. I said it was BAD. There's a massive difference. Kind of like Comcast. Comcast are very successful in their business. They are also very BAD.
