Which is better Sparkly vampire Edward Cullen or Real Vampire Alucard from Hellsing?

Alucard. (Spell his name backwards for fun) Edward is nothing but a fangirl's wet dream.

Alucard is what a vampire should be. Creepy and not all sparkly or a vegetarian. I would like Edward much more if he was only seducing Bella to ultimately drink her blook and kill her. (Haven't read the books only saw the movie so I don't know if this happends.) Now if he does end up getting a stake in his heart at the end I'll actually like him. But the sparkly part is stupid and is just a cop out so that Edward could go out during the day.

And what was the point of making Edward a vampire? Couldn't the writer have just written a gorgeous guy and left the vampire part out of it?
 
Alucard, no questions asked.

Nonono, I'll do you one better.

Hellsing Alucard and Castlevania Alucard team up to own the living (uh...bad joke since they're vampires) crap outta Edward.

It's fine if someone actually likes Edward, I just don't see the appeal of him, to be honest. >_>

You and several others may say they're ridiculous, but WHY? I'd rather see a debate with suitable reasons than accusations.

I don't know Alucard myself beause I've never read the books. I've only ever read Twilight since it was in the recommended part one day. I still do choose Edward, but that's not to say I hate Alucard. I just don't know anything about him to make a more interesting argument here.
 
Alucard Duh

He's unsympathetic bastard he kills for the hell of it. SO much that he has to be bound be a human to make sure that he doesn't go out of control.

Edward is just wimpy supernatural creature that fangirls love.
 
I like Lestat from Interview With the Vampire. He was awesome.

"I'm Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the rose."

MOD EDIT: Can we put in a little more effort into the post please? Maybe give reasons why Lestat was awesome. But otherwise this is a spammy post. Avoid doing so in the future. Thank you and carry on.

@Rydia: I did what you said! What a nice reference.

Alucard in my book. Never read both books, to tell you the truth (I thought this was about the movie Van Helsing until I read the posts). I always liked the traditional vampires who suck your blood (turning YOU into a vampire in the process), but are vulnerable to sunlight and a stake to the heart. And garlic. And a cross. If this Alucard guy is as gruesome as you all say he is, even better!

As for Edward, like I said, I never read any of the books so I can't really have a personal opinion about him. It really doesn't bother me that girls love him because he sparkles. But since vampires were originally brought up as frightening beings, I'm going with the one who can give you nightmares. At the end of the day, Alucard wins.
 
I'm bugged a lot that SMeyer didn't research Vampires. Not so much that she didn't, but her reasoning, which boils down to that she was afraid and very neurotic about reading other people's work, afraid that it'll be too similar and too different from hers. orite, and she doesn't like the gore in them, either.

Seriously? Grow the fuck up and go read a Vampire book. See what they're supposed to be like, because 'Sparkling' OF ALL THE THINGS WRONG WITH THESE BOOKS... the Sparkling is the worst.

This times about a million. The main thing that bugs me about Edward is how 'Perfect' he is. He has the body of a Greek Adonis, made of pure living marble that all sculptors would be envious. His eyes, oh his eyes you could swim in them for days as they hold such depth and emotion that can only be conveyed throughout years of living torment. And, zomg he smells so good too!

Seriously, wtf is up with this? It all pretty much occurs in all the books, and takes up about 25% of its content (if you can call it that)... another 15% of that 'content' is the word chagrin.

The romance between Bella and Edward happens within like, two weeks because he's so God damn perfect and irresistible. How much do these kids know about each other? They spent their time laying in a field sparkling, or she's sleeping and he's watching her. Or they're in school. There isn't anything interesting going on. Their romance is also as transparent and just based off of his looks, and his desire to eat her (and not in the kinky way either).

I like Robert Pattinson, he's a decent actor (was good in HP4) and a good looking guy, it's just the concept of Edward Cullen is so... ugh. He's hardly worth a character.

...tl;dr, Alucard all the way.
 
This is kinda a one sided question as Edward Cullen is a complete and utter twonk for he is the forefront of the false vampirism as since when can vampires exist in sunlight and not be reduced to dust??? And why teh hell would a vampire sparkle in the sunlight aswell??

ALUCARD ALL THE WAY :P
 
As huge a fan of Hellsing as I am, I will point out that this thread does seem a tad biased towards Alucard at the outset. Still; props to anyone who did vote for Edward without getting violent :)


That all aside however; Alucard still gets my vote. People can say he's the traditional creepy type while Edward's a new take, etc.

Honestly, it's the other way around. Sure Edward may have the sparkling, but let's look beyond that one aspect, shall we?

Vampire/human love stories really aren't anything new. Heck, Bram Stoker had Dracula rushing all the way to England just to get some from Lucy and Mina. If that's not a warped sense of lust I don't know what is.

Heck, most romance plotlines with vampires nowadays involve them falling in love with another species; be it human, werewolf, or whichever.


Now we go to Alucard; the No-Life King, Immortal Monster, etc. He's exceedingly powerful, even for a vampire...

and yet as Arthur says; his roars of victory are more howls of misery. He's lived this long, and each time he fights, it is more to find someone strong enough to defeat him as Abraham Van Helsing did all those years ago. He is a monster, but in a way he's a terribly pitiable one.
Even when facing Anderson, he taunts him to press onward, and by the time Anderson (nearly minus one arm) faces him, Alucard simply challenges him to fight on one last time and kill him.

The second Anderson chooses to become a monster himself however, Alucard flies into a rage.

"Do you intend to use that ruin of a miracle to become a ruin of a miracle yourself!? Do you intend to send our struggle away to that other shore? A monster like me, a weak monster that could not go on being human must be defeated by a human!

He may be more traditional in the sense of power, but Hellsing does a rather nice job of putting a new spin on the vampire's personalities and how they operate.
 
Thread requires a poll for great justice.

And can we make a distinction between Hellsing's Alucard (sexy blood-sucking sadistic mofo, damn!) and Castlevania's Alucard as well. I was a tad confused as to which one the original creator of the thread was referring to, unless he/she was referencing both and not just a singular character.

Thaaaaat saaaaaaid . . . I must pick Alucard even though, this thread leans almost unanimously towards his favor. I'm going to pick Hellsing's version because I'm not that familiar with the Castlevania incarnation.

1) Alucard is a billion times sexier than Sir. Sparks-a-lot. The mangaka does not have to make it a point to keep on idolizing how tall dark and horrifically hot he is; he just IS.
2) He's almost invincible BUT he can't stand sunlight, giving a nod toward the traditional Nosferatus and Draculas of yesteryear. Good call Hirano, good call.
3) Did I mention that he can wield dual pistols and blow your head off sky high? 'Cause he can and he will.
4) He gives Dante a run for his money competition-wise, any vampy that can do that, gets my vote.
5) He's a real MANLY man of a vampire, the guy can pound an army of men into next week, without breaking a sweat.
6) Wisecracks, wisecracks, and more wisecracks. He has 'em. For free.
7) He doesn't hesitate to turn you unless you're worth something more than just his dinner.
8) He's sexy, again, this needed some emphasis.
9) He looks damn good in red and he's sadistic as fuck. Most vampires have a tendency to love shedding blood and drinking it. Alucard just loves to see how many ways you can bleed before he drinks you dry. Hot.
10) His name is Dracula spelled backwards, as in, yes Count Dracula. That's freaking badass and makes him all the more epic alone.
11) He never fucking sparkles. That would just be stupid.

I could go and on really but you get the point.

Now, we'll move on to SMeyer's tragically dumb character, Edward What's His Face Cullen.

1) He sparkles . . . last time I checked the vamp greats: Dracula/Alucard, Lestat. Louie, etc. did not sparkle, they crumbled to dust like good honorable vampires, when they walked out into the sun. Why the hell is he so fucking special from the rest of 'em?
2) Do I WANT to read for the fifty billionth time how his skin shines like alabaster in the moonlight, or how it's like smooth porcelain, OR how he's like the god Adonis personified? No, no I do not.
3) If he's so god damned perfect, then why is he almost offensive to Bella, in the way he insists on needing to protect her every damn minute. Christ, why don't you just go watch her poop to ensure that her shit doesn't back up, Edward.
4) He's annoying, constantly going on about Bella this and Bella that. Shut the hell up already.
5) Oh woe is me tragic storyline. Bud, I'm not going to boo hoo about the fact that you had to live off of measly animal blood for a few days until that pedo of a doctor, Carlisle found you and nursed you back to health.
6) Shitty Romeo and Juliet references . . . and shitty Shakespeare quotes doth not a happy fan make. Look into it SMeyer.
7) Why him? Why not any of the other perfectly NORMAL and human boys, Bella. Why the sparkly cute and potentially dangerous vampire who isn't that dangerous at all to begin with.
8) He's so damn flawed. If it's any indication in the books, Bella is his obvious undoing. I'm surprised that Jacob didn't singe him over an open fire by now; all he can focus about is her well being. Where's the bloody balance? Why doesn't he ever care about his own sickly pale skin for one bloody second?
9)Also he makes Bella into a bit of a disgusting housewife/damsel in distress/whiny bitch x 1000000000 because she was sort of like that from the first bloody chapter. he actually enables her to be a bitch to everyone BUT him. Great going, Sir Sparksalot, you're a great role model of what a vampire wannabe and a boyfriend should be to young impressionable little girls. SMeyer can suck my nonexistent nuts and then slap it.
10) This sparkly bitch should have been human, he's not even a real vampire. He's just some sparkly fairy boy. Ew.
11) To SMeyer, for the love of motherloving Gods, read up on Anne Rice and read the novel Dracula. Read it religiously. Read Anne Rice religiously and then burn every single copy of your books.

Actually Alucard's just fine in sunlight. He hates it, yes, but it doesn't burn him, turn him to dust, or any of the usual things. The reason for that I can only assume, is that the Hellsing family's experimentation on him has provided some level of ability to withstand it.

11) He never fucking sparkles. That would just be stupid.

I know everyone is going to be upset at me, but why does it matter who sparkles better? Taylor Lotner is too beautiful to even think about looking at Robert Pattinson. :P :D
