Twilight fans joke connects Pattinson’s baby to franchise lore
When the news broke that Pattinson and Waterhouse were having their first baby, Twilight fans took to Twitter to make a ton of jokes.
In the final installment of the franchise, Edward Cullen (played by Pattinson) and his wife Bella Swan (portrayed by Kristen Stewart) welcome their child Renesmee, who is half-human and half-vampire. However, a controversial aspect of the story arises when Bella's werewolf friend and Jacob Black (played by Taylor Lautner) develops a strong bond with the newborn baby, known as imprinting. This plotline has been heavily criticized by a large portion of the Twilight fandom, who question author Stephenie Meyer's decision to include it in her story due to the age difference between Jacob and Renesmee.
So naturally, when Pattinson’s baby news was announced, Twilight fans jumped into making the funniest jokes about his future child.
