How did we get Kelsier in Fortnite before we got a Mistborn movie adaptation

Me @mistborn fandom

Does anyone know if Brandon had attached himself to any particular streaming or other production company?

I feel like one of the only people who just straight up doesn’t want any film or tv adaptation of Stormlight made. Period. Not a movie, not a series. The only exception would be an animated series in the vein of Arcane, Trigun Stampede, Vox Machina, etc and even then I still am not super enthusiastic about that.

I just do not want it. I don’t trust any Hollywood person to get it right. And I’d just rather have the books without the disappointment. There is so much in Stormlight that would be nearly impossible to convey without all the internal thoughts being right up front. They’d make it into a flat story that only focuses on one aspect and I just don’t want it.

Mistborn adaption should be a musical and entirely in French

Change my FUCKING mind. You can't.

I've been having a lot of discussions and thoughts about Ruin's future sight, Preservation's plans, and Harmony's knowledge.

Because of this, I have a good basis on how to write Ruin in my Mistborn AU. Sanderson has hinted that Ruin is the power of change and entropy, so I really want to lean in that direction. Rather than portraying him as the entity of death and destruction that Sanderson wrote him as, I want to write him as the God of Decay and Entropy. Everything we associate with canon Ruin would be parts of his desire/methods of ensuring that all things degrade and decay. Death and destruction are parts of his Intent, but they aren’t forefront in the Intent. The forefront of Ruin’s Intent consists of degradation, entropy, and chaos. To enhance this idea, I may write that AU Ruin pushes people to embrace uncertainty and change.

For example, we know that Ruin canonically pulled the strings behind Kelsier’s rebellion and the discovery of the Eleventh Metal. I would enhance this idea, so that Ruin is responsible for the rise and fall of pre-Rashek empires and kingdoms, war, the advancement of technology, and rebellions. In the Final Empire’s context he would be responsible for guiding its various rebellions, and for advancing technology in the less controlled Dominances.

Ruin weaves and executes multiple, branching schemes to ensure the subtle, slow downfall of Scadrial and its empires. He knows there are countless ways his Intent is present in the Universe, and will execute them through any avenue. I would significantly expand on his actions throughout history.

I desperately intend to expand upon Ruin’s precognitive abilities. It doesn’t feel right downplaying Ruin’s future sight when the only WoB we have about it came from 2012, way before Sanderson truly incorporated precognition into the Cosmere. Not only that but the Mistborn trilogy was written before he solidified Cosmere-wide mechanics. I think that once a Mistborn adaptation comes out, we will truly see his abilities in action.

AU Ruin’s future sight would still be inferior to Preservation. It feels slightly wrong LMAO, but it’s necessary for the ending. But it’s far better than Elend’s future vision and Odium’s future sight.

I haven’t read Stormlight yet, but I heard that Odium definitively has future sight. Going by the IRL definition of the word “odium,” I believe canon Ruin’s Intent of causing death and destruction requires a lot more foresight/planning than inducing hatred.

AU Ruin would also be so much more destructive when released. I want to give Ruin more influence over the world by creating more natural disasters - earthquakes with more impact, floods, earthquakes, blizzards, thunderstorms, tornadoes and hurricanes, scenes of Luthadel’s death etc…

Right now I plan to say that weakened Ruin w/ Preservation’s presence can manipulate phenomena that already exists in Scadrial's natural science. He can manipulate and create anything on the planet to his liking, but he can't _completely_ destroy its structure. He can't do feats like reduce the continents to nothingness, boil the oceans in their entirety, or burn the planet down until nothing remains.

But he can do everything the Lord Ruler accomplished during his Ascension. Weakened Ruin can move the continents or split them apart, move the planet, boil the oceans so they’re absurdly hot, and make the planet hotter or colder.

I tried to sleep then I got a notification and it was basically Daniel Green yelling about Henry Cavill being now free to act in a mistborn adaptation either as kel (hell no) or the lord ruler so that's a fun thing to sleep on

"Even though we love them, we have to admit there are some fantasy books that would be impossible to adapt into movies or TV shows. Not all magic and world-breaking fantasy elements are film-friendly.

Although book-to-film adaptations of fantasy novels have been getting better over time, there are still a few things even the best visual effects (VFX) and Computer-generated imagery (CGI) cannot pull off. I am a big fan of well-done practical effects, even if they are mechanic at times. For me, the way actors tend to engage with practical effects reads as more sincere. So, when it comes to this list of fantasy books, I mostly included books I think would require too much green screen or CGI to be worth it. Sometimes, magic is best left on the page and off the screen."

Sanderson and Cavill cant work together on anything im gonna kill myself in front of sandersons house if he even dares to consider cavill for kelsier

Cosmere (but really just Stormlight & Mistborn ‘cause those are the only one with a chance of adaptation) adaptation opinions:

Mistborn era 1 would work best as a trilogy of live-action movies. So would Mistborn era 2, with books 1 and 2 being condensed into 1 movie.

The Stormlight Archive would be almost impossible to make well if it was not an animated series, and could be amazing in animation, most likely in a style similar to Netflix’s Castlevania. The reason it would be almost impossible outside of 2-D animation is because of the very visually unique world, which would be far cheaper to make and better looking in 2-D than if it was all cgi in a live action show. Also the reason it would be a show is because of the sheer number of important pov characters, which could very easily disrupt the flow of a movie, but would be far more workable in a show.

The only mainline Cosmere property that would make even a sorta good video game (of any kind) is Mistborn era 2. Era 1 and Stormlight have far too much of a focus on a big bad evil force you must work to destroy, while era 2 has a world with a lot of smaller threats to deal with and cool stuff to do in a game. Also the resources for magic are far to scarce and complicated to get and maintain in era 1 and Stormlight to make a fun video game (except maybe a top-down rpg like Divinity Original Sin 2), while magic has a well established place in the world in era 2 and could just be another resource you have to loot off enemies or buy, like healing items or bullets. I had to guess what the genre would be if it was made I’d say an open-world rpg, somewhat like The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Fallout: New Vegas, or maybe Red Rising. Probably with a main villain and/or relatively local social/political conflict to solve, a lot of side quests including bounties, treasure hunts, and more personal quest for npcs. The world map would probably be one big area for the Roughs with a few towns scattered though it, and another big area that’s just Elendel city, or some other city in the Elendel basin if it wants to differentiate itself from the books.

Im suddenly very interested in what the news have to say on this matter,and how the movies could "fix" something from the books🧐

so I was checking my recommended news and...

oh boy I wonder what suggestions they have

The year is 2029. The first episode of the long awaited TV adaption of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn has just released and you're watching it as soon as it goes live. Throughout the whole episode you're blown away by just how faithful it is to the original books, how good the action is and how impressive the effects are. Then. Just as the episode feels like it's about to end Kelsier speaks down to Vin in a moment of emotional vulnerability. "There is one thing I should warn you about, Vin. And this is really very serious. In all my time working in thieving crews fighting against the Lord Ruler, I have to tell you...

There's always another secret. "

Kelsier looks directly into camera and winks. The entire set bursts into an inexplicably 1960s themed song and dance number. The crowd cheers. You weep a single tear of joy. Hoid is there. Mistborn wins every award at every event that year.

So I made cover art for a hypothetical manga adaptation of Mistborn for a school project. by limonlemons
