The show Supernatural is better than the movie Twilight

I have never seen Supernatural or Twilight. However, as I shall make clear in the following arguments, Twilight is much "better" overall. Since Pro failed to define the term "better," we shall be debating which is better using the Merriam-Webster definition of "superior especially in merit or rank." (1) There are few categories where merit and rank are comparable between movies and TV shows, so it shall be up to the debaters to prove what is most important. Pro made several points, none of which are relevant: A1: Supernatural has been on for 10 seasons, showing its dedicated fan base A2: Supernatural has a strong positive moral message A3: Actors from Twilight hate their own movies A4: Twilight"s vampires do not conform to traditional images of vampires A5: The vampires in Twilight Sparkle A6: A female main character from Twilight is a nymphomaniac While these might be considered in a schoolyard argument between teenage girls, none of these carry any weight regarding which is better. They are all opinions. With that said, I"ll address each point. A1: There is no argument here. Supernatural does have a dedicated fan base. However, that fan base does not come close to and is definitely not better than Twilight"s. Twilight, and its spinoffs, as of November 2013 has made $5,736,100,000 (2). I dare Pro to argue that Supernatural has made more money from it"s fans than Twilight. "The Twilight series has had a presence in many conventions such as ComicCon, and there have also been many conventions whose main focus has been on the Twilight series (books and films). Some notable conventions have been Twicon and a series of "Official Twilight Conventions" held by Creation Entertainment" (3). A2: Having a strong moral message is not only opinion, it doesn"t matter within the context of this debate. Since Pro brought up morals however, I"ll point out that Twilight is a love story; as quoted by the author, it is "about life, not death" and "love, not lust" (3). A3: While sourceless, this point is again irrelevant. Not only are the actors less than .001% of the millions who love the movie, they obviously don"t have enough problems with it to stop making movies. A4: Does Pro believe that conforming to traditional standards will make a popular show? Is he implying that by sticking to a cookie cutter method that has been seen thousands of times before, success will be reached? A5: Absolutely they do. A6: Again, does Pro want a cookie cutter boring story? Of course characters in Twilight aren"t perfect. There needs to be tension and problems for a show to be interesting. This obviously isn"t a serious debate. However, for a few final points, I"d like to point out the following: Supernatural shows on the CW, a struggling network. It, after a buyout, will have a license fee of around $700,000 per episode (4). That means that it will take over 8,000 episodes, or 400 years of 20 episode seasons to match Twilight"s sales. Twilight has more fans and more sales than Supernatural. Twilight has won 25 major awards, including an MTV Movie Award, a Teen Choice Award, and a World Soundtrack Award (7). Supernatural had 2.5 million viewers on its season 9 premiere (5). Twilight grossed $35 million opening day, and over 3 million people went to see it (6). 1: http://www.merriam-webster.com... 2: http://www.statisticbrain.com... 3: http://en.wikipedia.org...(series)#Inspiration_and_themes 4: http://www.thewinchesterfamilybusiness.com... 5: http://insidetv.ew.com... 6: http://insidetv.ew.com...+'Twilight'+sinks+its+teeth+into+a+blockbuster+debut/ 7: http://www.imdb.com...
