General Facts
- The very definition of a "third wheel"
- Really, it's amazing that this guy wound up with a "team" of fangirls because it was blatantly obvious to anyone with a brain stem that Bella was always going to crawl back to that creepy fuckhead, Edward Cullen, and leave him firmly in the friend zone
- This doesn't stop her from using him at every opportunity she gets
- Considering the sheer amount of cock-blocking abuse he's put through in later movies, can be debated for real protagonist status of the entire series even despite his idiocy later on
Twilight
- Sports a horrible wig that makes him look like Tommy Wiseau
- Is so minor a character that he is in only three scenes for about four total minutes
New Moon
- Becoming a werewolf apparently causes him to gain 20 pounds of muscle, cut his hair, get a tattoo, wax his chest, become good at parkour, and develop an allergy to shirts
- Is utterly used by his supposed best friend the entire movie and she never shows even one ounce of remorse for it
- Despite having more screen time in this one, still had about as much impact on the plot
Eclipse
- Continues to try and destroy the relationship between Bella and Edward
- Is constantly shirtless
- Manages to have such a hard face, that it sprains Bella's hand when she punches him.
- Victim of total character assassination because he was making Edward look like the shithead he is, and Stephenie Meyer couldn't stand that her imaginary vampire lover was looking bad
- Foreshadows the imprinting bullshit found in the next two movies
- Gets almost crushed to death by a vampire newborn
- Somehow has half his bone structure reset
