Edward vs. Jace

As you can tell by this post, I am huge dork. I spend way too much time in my head, intrigued by made-up characters. The type of things I do in my spare time... But oh well! It's fun for me!

I couldn't help but compare Jace Wayland (ugh, I hate his last name, but I love his first name esp. since it's the nickname I've had for years n years. And also, he has like 3 different last names) from The Mortal Instruments series to Edward Cullen from Twilight.

Edward Cullen from Twilight




Jace Wayland from The Mortal Instruments series
(There's no movie yet, but this is how I imagine Jace would look)

My vote is for JACE. And apparently, I'm not the only one who feels the same way:

Ah ha! So I'm not the only dork who thinks about this kinda stuff.
I don't usually prefer blondes, but I like Jace's personality way better. Edward is boring and one-dimensional. Also, he gets more serious with each book in the series. By the fourth book, he's just this overprotective guy who's totally not fun. And I don't like that he's so perfect... (rich, musical, good-looking, smart, never dated anyone besides Bella, hmmm... oh yeah, and BORING).

Jace, on the other hand, is so human which makes all his decisions that much more meaningful. He's also very complex and honest. A sweet, sensitive guy whose crazy father raised him to be a ruthless warrior--the eternal inner conflict of nature vs. nurture! As a result, he very honestly states he's only an ass because it's a defense mechanism. And though he's protective of Clary, he knows she's tough and can handle her own. And he dates and flirts with other girls, which is more realistic, making his love for Clary that much more significant. And he's not unbreakable like Edward. He gets beat up plenty, but he's bad ass enough to handle it.

Who would you vote for?
Vampire or part angel?

I say Team Jace, home slice.

Jace obviously!
I loveeeee him! I agree with everthing you said about them both.
And yeah, jace and his names huh? What ya gonna do! Herondale, lightwood, wayland or morgenstern? I personaly think he is a lightwood, he belongs with them.
I love his relationship with clary aswell, not all boring and dull because they think they are related and it gets all complicated... with edward and bella its just like 'OH BELLA I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!' and 'OH EDWARD I WANT TO DIE FOR YOU!'...Yawn.
