Seriously...no comparison. Vampires aren't even really the same thing in the two series.Even so...I've never been a fan of Bill. So I'd still vote for Edward :-) He is very angsty and obsessive, but...I dug him anyway.

I like both of them, I was a little disappointed in the actor they have for Edward, probably because I had a totally different image of him in my minds eye, I'm hoping when I watch the movie that I don't lose that image, I think Bella's character looks the part, I have not seen the movie Twilight yet but Jacob in the books ( well more towards the end of the series )is big, dark, muscled and handsome, and so like-able. Mmmmmmmmm.
I was watching t.v last night, and I stumbled across the movie Penelope. Which had James Mcavoy, and I thought he would have been perfect for Edward!! Anyone else think so? Or maybe it's because I just think Mcavoy is so much hotter and more talented than the guy playing Edward now.I wonder if they can change mid movie. lol.
between bill and edward i chose edward, he is hotter, but if you put eric and edward im like edward who? ERIC is hotter than all of them! put together.
In the books Bill doesnt come close to edward! Edward is faithful and a true man, bill is a coward. on screen bill is hotter, but wait until next season of the show. You may not like him as much.I think Eric Northman And Edward Cullen would be a better compairison.
Well, I am team Edward and team Eric, so I guess between Bill and Edward that means Edward wins, because I'm not on Bill's team. As far as hotness goes, its a bit closer. I watched TrueBlood before I started the books, so I pretty much already had a Bill picture in my head, and I think he's pretty hot in the tv show. And, I pretty much think movie Edward is hot, as is book Edward. Of course, Bill has better sex (since Edward is a big tease). I don't know, its all so complicated. I think I'll just pick Eric. Mmmmm....Vikings.

But on looks, I think that..."You can't really compare apples to apples on what they eat. They both do as little harm as possible. Or at least they try, I think Bill still drinks human blood every once in a while (like when he needs strength before a fight).
If Edward had access to synthetic blood, he would probably drink it. Plus the stakes are higher for him. Bill could glamour someone, feed, and leave them with no recollection...no harm done, really. If Edward bit someone they would be turned.
Edward is too pure and virginal for my taste.

I'm already really close to just giving up on the show but if they decide to downplay Eric so that Bill can remain the main character I'm definitely done."If they do that I will be very very disappointed. The love triangle will keep me watching but Eric needs to have those things happen to him that they did in the books so it will draw Sookie and he closer.
Jael wrote: "lol o, true but wait he did put out once and then tried to kill the spawn before it was born."I don't blame Edward on that one. LOL. She wasn't even suppose to have been able to have a baby with him. It was an abomination, I'd have been right beside him trying to kill it.
That was just a tale of once you do it, you might just get pregnant the first time..LOL
LOL couldn't agree with you more. At least Edward has some (okay a lot) of jealousy when it comes to Bella's and Jacobs relationship. Well until the end he does.
