Cosmere picked up by Apple TV

Ands that a big reason I am excited for the TV adaptions: no matter the freedom apple gives him, there is no way a good TV producer would allow for some voiceover narrator doing endless repetitions of character internal monologues.

Uh oh.

That said, it was probably necessary for this show. From what I have read of Stormlight Archives, absolutely not necessary there.

Oh, for Murder ot it was a absolute necessity...the novels are fully first person with tremendous interiority. While I like the interiority of the Stormlight Archives fine...not necessary to capture that in an adaptation in the same way. If Sanderson is using Jackson's Lord of the Rings as his guide for Stormlight Archives, sacrificing intwroorotybecause it is a TV show shouldn't be an issue.

The internal monologues don't really bother me, since that is pretty much how I think myself.

Based on what you post here, I would assume you have much more interesting thoughts than Shallan.

ike "The Way of Kings is The Mighty Ducks" as central

wait what? what is this about? I tried to google it but couldnt find anything

For sure, and I know because Sanderson has been talking about his adaptation philosophy that he wants any film project to be a film or TV show first, and use that art form rather than try to be lavish to literary details. He wants a lot of control, but he has a healthy detachment from specific details that this may just work.

This sounds really promising - I am excited for it! in 2030 if we're lucky

haha no, in Murderbot his internal thoughts and meanderings are quite important and most importantly: entertaining! The inner monologues in Sanderson are rarely entertaining and mostly frustrating ( to me at least )

I'll take the compliment, but I LOVE Shallan, her parts are the best, particularly when the books really dig into her Dissociative Personality in a realistic way.

Sanderson loves using modela of other stories, particularly incongruent combinations. Mistborn is pretty clear, he was taking Ocean's 11 but making the gather Voldemort which is clear from just the book blurb, but another example is Rythem of War being basically epic fantasy

Spoiler: Spoiler

Die Hard

. With Way of Kings, the model he uses was The Mighty Ducks: Kaladin is Emilio Estevez, Bridge Four is the plucky ragtag group of rejects, and the bridge runs are the sports competitiona. The outline tracks very well if you map it our, and he has been pretty open about it.

This sounds really promising - I am excited for it! in 2030 if we're lucky

It may just work!

I'm actually more excited for a Mistborn movie than for the Stormlight TV show. Even while reading Mistborn Book 1, I kept thinking about how intensely cinematics the action scenes were. Everything Allomancy does, with increased strength, senses, emotion-affecting, and metal telekinesis, is easy to film with relatively little VFX needed.

I can respect that. While stormlight is the big ambitious super scaling epic, at the end of the day mistborn is likey sandersons best crafted work: it’s tight, intense, and every part thoroughly enjoyable.
