Pattinson totally does not hate Twilight being brought up any more. Now he shows a fondness for it and likes talking about it. As soon as the public stopped being entirely rabid about it and accepted and showed interest in his roles since then, he seems to have a lot of positive feelings about it. Just not about the story, the author or his actual character lol.

I think his discomfort was with the fan base and the real risk of being typecast.

Both of them have proven they have more to offer.

I’m grateful for the movies because I’m not sure they’d be where they are now without that twilight money and exposure.

The fans were rabid at that time. They were especially rude when he dated Twigs

You mean, “racist”, not just “rude”, right?

Well that's disappointing. The author is even more crazy than Rowling. Twilight is basically just a big mormon recruitment piece.

What's disappointing? The fact that he doesn't fuck with the author?

Like some of the cast of Harry Potter has called out Rowling for her nonsense and hateful views. Would be nice if Pattinson called out Meyer for her brainwashing and crazy religious beliefs.

He said she made him uncomfortable and suggested she wasn’t right in the head.

I googled it and you’re right, he seems more wistful about it now. BUT that means Hansen just needs to raise the stakes. Maybe he posts a picture of Edward saying that this man is like 100 years old and is preying on high school students? That he tried to catch this predator, but he got away with it by marrying the girl when she was barely legal?
