Line 26:
* If your knowledge of ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' comes from [[Popcultural Osmosis]], you'll find the first movie awfully strange. It's essentially a low-budget indie ([[Sleeper Hit|a very successful one, of course]]) and it feels like it. There are only the most basic special effects and it generally just feels "small". In contrast, the sequels had higher budgets, so they feel bigger and have a blockbuster "sheen" which the original lacked. [[Taylor Lautner]] does appear as Jacob in the first film, but he's just barely in it, never mentions being a werewolf, and (gasp!) keeps his shirt on the whole time.
** To be fair, Taylor Lautner wasn't as impressive physically in the first movie. It's why they were going to recast his character, but he was dedicated to providing the fans continuity and bulked up considerably.
* ''[[X Men First Class]]'' plays with this thematically, being set around the [[Cuban Missile Crisis]]. Professor Charles Xavier for instance is shown to be a rather cocky beatnik in his youth, while Erik (aka, Magneto) was a [[Nazi Hunter]] who had no qualms using guns alongside his powers.
