In "Pure" by Jennifer L. Armentrout, a character humorously addresses the popular "Team Edward vs. Team Jacob" debate from the Twilight saga. He dismisses the notion of being on Team Edward, instead playfully claiming allegiance to Team James or Team Tyler's Van. His sarcasm highlights a sense of irreverence towards the often intense fan rivalry.
This moment serves to illustrate the character's personality, indicating that he prefers to deflect typical romantic clichés rather than engage in them. The humor not only entertains but also sets the tone for his interactions and the broader narrative dynamics within the story.
