Buffy the Vampire Slayer vs Twilight

So, I decided to watch the Twilight film series.  And I hated it.  Years ago, my wife and I had watched the second film and she hated it then.  I did not hate it then, and if you take Bella Swan out of the first two films, they are bearable, but as the series goes on, the films get worse.  So bad in fact that I think that they are worse than what I remember of the sequels to Blade.  

Twilight has to be compared to Buffy The Vampire Slayer, which was so much better, and portrays a better message with Buffy Summers being a woman with many admirable qualities and Bella Swan being one of the most if not the most pathetic main character I have seen for a long time. I understand that there is a female attraction to the films, just as there is with 50 shades, but I do just do not understand the need to be dominated, or from a male perspective, to dominate.

Blade, as a film, is possibly the best Vampire film I have ever watched, Twilight does not even come close to it.
