When two guys are in love with the same girl, and the girl has to choose which guy she wants to be with, we call it a love triangle. Love triangles make great plot lines for films because they come with plenty of romance and suspense. Throw in a few werewolves and vampires, and you’ve got yourself one exciting movie. Actually, you’ve got Twilight.

The first two movies in the Twilight series were big hits. Now the third chapter, Twilight: Eclipse, is here. In the new movie, Bella has to choose between her love for the vampire Edward and her friendship with the werewolf Jacob. And not just Bella, but Twilight fans are choosing, too, whom they love best. Find out if Jason and Devan are on Team Edward or Team Jacob.

Jason

Devan

Jason:  Twilight: Eclipse, oh my God, it was so good.

Devan:  It was so much better than the second one.

Jason:  I would have to agree.

Devan:  Especially because Edward got way more onscreen time than in the second one.

Jason:  Yeah, and actually a lot of my favorite Edward time was his scenes with Jacob. I thought they had some interesting chemistry going on there.

Devan:  There was a weird vibe going on between them. It seems like they almost have more of a romantic connection than Bella and either of them do.

Jason:  But it’s an interesting development in the love triangle, you know, the relationship between those two, because they both want to protect Bella but they also kind of respect each other by the end of this movie. It’s interesting.

Devan:  So, you must be Team Edward, right? Like who would be on Team Jacob?

Jason:  What? No. Obviously on Team Jacob.

Devan:  What? How could you be on Team Jacob?

Jason:  Uh, ‘cause the werewolves are alive, they’re not dead. They’re all about just like being in shape and running around and being healthy. Seems like a much more reasonable lifestyle than Edward and just being sad and dead all the time.

Devan:  Jacob is whiny. He’s totally a brat. He can’t take a hint. And Edward is way hotter.

Jason:  But I mean, if Edward is so much hotter, then why isn’t he shirtless all the time like Jacob?

Devan:  Touche.
