For some "Twilight" viewers, Bella Swan's traveling oxygen tube is one of the most frustrating inconsistencies to witness. On Reddit, u/esoteric222 found this to be extremely irritating, and, unlike most film and TV mistakes (which are accidental), they believe it was done intentionally. "They ruined the shot essentially trying to make sure audiences realize she's on O2 when we already know once it pans out."

If the tube was placed normally — and not over Bella's eyelashes — in the extreme close-up shot, it would've been out of frame. Audiences wouldn't have instantly known that she was in the hospital. However, as noted by u/esoteric222, Bella's situation would have simply been revealed a few seconds later.

Other fans shared the same frustration, including u/buzzybnz, who had to wear an oxygen tube as a child and felt a personal tie to the scene. "Those tubes (which I called snotty oxygen as a kid cause I hated it) are annoying enough without having them sit weirdly. Out of all the small errors, that bugs me the most."
