I’m really enjoying the twilight reassessment that’s going on for the past couple of years. As someone who loved it as a kid but bought into the peer pressure elf hating it, being able to like twilight again feels very freeing.
Also, I’d definitely read that gender-swapped book.
I'm mostly surprised at how much anti-twilight sentiment there is when Buffy gets treated with reverence and we have stuff like "Wot if the archie characters had sex and did a murder" as a succesful multi-season show.
I'd guess that the hate on Twilight compared to those other stories is a function of popularity. Twilight was huge and overexposed; it culminated in a series of big-budget movies. Buffy wasn't nearly that big -- it wasn't on a major network and was overshadowed by some of the last real monoculture shows (e.g., Seinfeld and Friends). The Archie remake is even lower profile.

I never thought I'd get to roll out my nuanced twilight take I perfected in middle school again!
Ultimate conclusion: definitely a bad work of art but also entertaining and the movies have a fun soundtrack and are shot well mostly
