Can't wait to see the 10 episodes of Cosmere Connections: Rhythm of War edition

[@junnKhya]

The rhythm of war cosmere connections will have more episodes than the average marvel disney+ series

[@SparksArtandCosplay]

Hehe yeah

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I'm terrified you guys.

[@Scp4521]

@@TheCosmerenaut good luck!

[@astrouphel]

I love how you mentioned the two blades that Amaram has-Oathbringer and Helaran's. As you said, the two that have had the biggest impact on his life (besides perhaps Syl). Helaran's, the one that caused his slavery, and Oathbringer, the one that bought him his freedom. Beautiful symbolism.

[@freddymeisner]

I’ve read the books multiple times and the symbolism being pointed out like that still surprised me

[@TheCosmerenaut]

It's moments like that that make me appreciate just how good of an author Sanderson is. There's *depth* to his books.

[@Eloweh]

I read all of part 5 of Oathbringer in 1 day. To think that it is equivalent to almost 400 pages in a book like Dawnshard is crazy. Love this book

[@TheCosmerenaut]

They are bigg beefy books.

[@csernobillahun]

What do you mean we know that she is a dragon??? I missed out on this somewhere

[@ClubbingSealCub]

I think it was revealed in rythm of war

[@junnKhya]

Teased in Words of Radiance, hinted at in OB, revealed in RoW during Dog and the Dragon

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I totally forgot it was revealed in book that she was a dragon and not just through WoB. Oopsie.

[@danielbroome5690]

I think it's pretty likely that stormlight only heals you towards your spiritual or maybe cognitive state. So it can heal a lost arm, but not something that intrinsically makes you YOU and something you intrinsically link with yourself. Like the brand on Kaladin's head not healing until he got over that trauma and no longer saw himself as a slave and then it was healed. I think similarly, it would not "heal" something like autism, or more appropriately would not heal Dabbid's condition because neither of them feel that it's wrong to be like that. Dabbid THINKS that he doesn't want to think slowly, and assumes that the spren were telling him they'd heal his condition, but the tower didn't say that in those words which implies that the greater truth is that Dabbid already accepts himself as he is (proven by his own thoughts about what is and is not stupid) and that he already views himself as healed. Depression is a special case I think which throws a bit of a wrench in things. Because I and most people with depression would love to have that go away, but I think in Kaladin's case, his mental issues are so closely tied to who he is that they will not heal in a similar way. Mostly because he finds ways to deal with it and continue to live. I do think, however, that IF a person were to have a condition where they absolutely resented it and wanted more than anything to be rid of it that the storm light could heal that. I think in another character, depression COULD be healed by stormlight. Potentially anyway. I think it really comes down to a character truly needing it to be gone that would make the difference. Kaladin is ultimately strong enough not to need to, but others might not be.

[@kennymiller5837]

yup. Pretty sure thats the reason why trans radiants "heal" (for lack of a better term) into the biological sex that they identify as (see the Reshi King)

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Very well put.

[@alexmart3931]

Thank you for these videos truly🙏 So I've read and re-read the part where Jaznah soul-casts the wall, but I don't see the part of her dissmissing the shardplate. Could you quote me the passage please?

[@lonsunocook]

When Jasnah fills in the wall I always get chills down my spine....

[@TheCosmerenaut]

It's such a cool moment.

[@noelhann5262]

Man, rhythm of war is going to be crazy

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I'm daunted.

[@freddymeisner]

You rock! Thanks for taking the time to make this. On my 4th read through of OB and this added to the experience a ton

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Did I miss anything?

[@junnKhya]

Excellent job collecting all these things, i love hearing all these little hints collected in one place

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Thanks! Glad they help!

[@plaecholder]

Was the "iykyk" about amaram's chest a reference to The Sunlit Man? Thats the only thing i can think of.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Yup. I didn't want to say so explicitly because of the newness of the book. You know!

[@alexmart3931]

What was special about the knife Moash used on Jezrian?

[@tairbolgario538]

Hey great video like the other previous parts, but there are two things I noticed about this part that felt off to me. 6:24 Teft swears the third ideal! Not the second! "I will protect those I hate..." 12:04 You forgot to mention that Ash is Jezrien's daugher.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I get the numbers confused all the time, because the first ideal is the same for everybody which then makes me think the individual second ideals are actually the first ideals for the orders. It's... a problem.

[@insertname5371]

The brightness bit had me dying

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Sometimes I think I'm funny. :)

[@charlieteneyck6797]

Great video! Thank you.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Thanks!

[@SteveArgyleDotCom]

Awesome video Steve! Oathbringer is my favorite of Brandon's books. So far, at least. I've got a really lot to catch up on. Don't tell Brandon. ;)

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I mean, you see him more often than I do!

[@waggy401]

Man. I'm going to have to read these again.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Always time for a re-read.

[@gew393]

Teft swore the third ideal there not the second

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I always mess up the numbers because the first is the same for everyone.

[@treefrogkid1172]

Less goo

[@TheCosmerenaut]

More... rocks?

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I was enormously confused by this, then I remembered you watched the premiere of this video and in that context your comment makes sense.

[@atab6555]

These videos are fantastic

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Thank you!

[@yomanyo327]

YESSSSS

[@TheCosmerenaut]

YEAHHHHH

[@haku8135]

Rhythm Of War-"You are WEAK!"

[@TheCosmerenaut]

RoW RoW RoW your boat...

[@snowdrop9810]

6:26 he swears the 3rd one here doesnt he? He swore the 2nd waaay back in early oathbringer

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I always get the numbers confused, because the first one is the same for everyone which then makes my brain consider the second ideal of whatever order as actually the first and then it just spirals. You're correct.

[@snowdrop9810]

5:00 I would rather a million puppies die than see the way of kings burn. A masterpiece burning is not ok.

[@TheCosmerenaut]

It's a level up from canine-icide in terms of evil guy representation.

[@nathangladden4518]

What is your theory?? 13:29

[@TheCosmerenaut]

I think Dalinar is going to remake Adonalsium. Unite the Shards again.

[@JediLion17]

I'm sorry, are you implying the god-king HASN'T lost his mind?

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Oh no, I'm saying that Nale is absolutely incorrect in claiming he hasn't.

[@lonsunocook]

Also not commander Cob from starflight command

[@TheCosmerenaut]

Haha, yes, definitely not Commander Cobb.
