    From a former Redditor u/[deleted]:

    Edward would smell a different vampire there. You're also telling me Victoria had enough self control to not murder any of the highschoolers? And also no one in their year questioned who this random red eyed lady was, even though they all obsessed over Bella because their town is that small and boring? 

    From Redditor u/potatocornerbbq:

    Victoria actually lowkey attended the prom night, but [somehow] Edward couldn't hear her thoughts despite the close proximity?

    [How is it that] Alice and Jasper [weren't] able to hear Bella talking to James on the phone [literally right near them]?

    Why Would They Even Try To Run Away From James, When They Could Just Face Him And Be At An Advantage?

    From Redditor u/aknowbody:

    James knew that Bella was a "pet" of the Cullens. He was also told that the Cullens kept a permanent residence in the area.

    So Edward reads his mind in the baseball field, and says something like.... "I saw in his mind, the hunt is his obsession. He'll never stop chasing you......"

    So, they... run? 

    From Redditor u/Nuria_123:

    The sheer fact that they didn’t just fight in the meadow. Seven against three is good odds special if you take into account Emmett’s strength, Jasper’s experience and Edward and Alice’s gifts.

    Edward Should've Been Able To Tell That Bella Was Pregnant WAY Before She Told Him

    From Redditor u/libearcat19:

    Edward Cullen has TWO. TWO. Medical degrees. He has a vampire’s sense of smell.

    Bella has all the classic symptoms of pregnancy, including, but in no particular order:

    •cravings

    •increased sleep habits

    •increased libido

    •weird dreams

    •missed period

    •morning sickness

    You’re telling me Bella noticed she was pregnant because she got morning sickness before Edward realized her hormones smelled differently or that she had any other odd behaviors? Not to mention, if Renesmee was moving and everything already, she would have some form of a heartbeat. Edward can hear Bella’s like it’s a drum in the room, so wouldn’t he hear that, too?

    Why Would The Cullens Not Consider Victoria A Threat After Killing James? She Helped Him Track Bella And That WAS Her Mate They Killed

    From Redditor u/girlfromnowhere00000:

    [How did the]Cullens didn’t think Victoria would be a threat after they killed James! Victoria and James were mates! Basically any vampire would want revenge for the death of their mate in some way (except Carlisle if Esme was killed… but the other Cullens would and would probably get revenge for her in some way).

    Why Would They Go To The Trouble Of Having Jacob Take Bella Up The Mountain To Cover Her Scent, But Have Edward Follow Her Anyways - Leaving An Obvious Scent Trail That DOES Get Picked Up?

    From Redditor u/MalodorousPlot:

    In Eclipse they go through all the horrors and traumas of getting Jacob to drag Bella up the mountain... and then Edward goes flying up there after her, which is the biggest bloody giveaway in history! 

    From Redditor u/MalodorousPlot:

    It is less predictable in the books that it’d go wrong I suppose, as at that point they don’t realise that the newborns coming for Bella has anything to do with Edward, so no reason to think anyone would take the trouble to track Edward’s scent, but you’d think they’d have worked it out or at least suspected! Why else would a whole vampire army be all hunting one random human? Not a huge leap to assume it has something to do with Edward. Bella even suggests it to Edward but he still seems completely blindsided when V&R turn up, which is just unbelievable.
