Live Q&A With Brandon Sanderson | New York Comic Con 2022

[@davidhamilton676]

Dragonsteel Animation Studios. This is the way. Start with doing animations for the kickstarters to build it.

[@gizzardgizzard3583]

This is the way! Sanderson is able to raise millions on kickstarter for his books, just imagine how much more demand there would be for an adaptation for one of his works on kickstarter (I haven't backed any of his projects yet, but if there was an adaptation I'd give like $500+). I respect that he wants to maintain a relationship with hollywood, but they just aren't reliable these days and even when something is greenlit it seems like anything that isn't like stranger things popularity is put on the chopping block

7:00 wait? who did Jasnah get killed???

[@CGIMati]

Yeeeh! I would like to work there :D

[@lowtek42]

I keep thinking the Cosmere would make for an epic anime!

As a 2D animator, YES!! PLEASE!!

I got to the mention of the recent Kickstarter and the four secret projects before going "wait a minute..."

The beard makes me nervous. There seems to be a connection between beardedness and a lack of writing when it comes to famous authors of incomplete epic fantasy series. Lol

The thought of a Mistborn game in the vein of Infamous is going to keep me up at night, Brandon!

[@finchharper4647]

A very well behaved group of people. Very nice to see.

[@crt5866]

I really like how brandon says to not stress about world building an entire world, because its impossible to do so. I mean if you think about it the "world building" of earth still has a ton of holes. We have no idea how many things in science work.

[@micahlarimer155]

I appreciate the infamous reference 52:20. One of my favorite console games ever, I bought a PS3 as a kid just to play it.

[@amandapessoa6931]

37:02 That telepathy metaphor was in Tress!! I never thought of storytelling that way, which is why I remember. Amazing comparison.

[@jamcdonald120]

44:30 wait... but B$'s Philosophy on roll playing is "break the system so bad only Dan can keep you in check"

[@KevinHorecka]

I understand everyone refers to Elhokar as a bad king, but I really just thought he was a "meh" king. But maybe there's no such thing as a "meh" king? You're either good/great or you're bad. "Bad" to me means actively undermining the values and benefits of the society they govern (often favoring some extreme uncommon opinion in the society or acting with intentional ignorance to the reality of the world).

I didn't know BS was into japanese media but it makes sense. A fight from his books gave me strong Lee vs Kimimaro / Naruto vs Pain vibes. I haven't read a better fight scene yet.

@45:00 or there about you got me thinking about how many have gotten diabetes wrong in movies. The character has an low blood sugar set of symptoms but they treat it as though they are having a high sugar reaction. Low blood sugar means you eat, high blood sugar means you take medicine. Low blood sugar has immediate problems, high blood sugar can build up for a long time before it becomes apparent, especially if the diabetic drinks a lot of water & stops eating. Thank you for taking the time to talk with those who suffer & their experiences.

[@Pablo360able]

We give Brandon flack for answering the question he thinks someone asked, but the Obi-Wan question is a masterclass in answering the question someone didn't know they meant to ask.

[@ferminballesteros7462]

If anyone says brandon likes monarchies, I sugest they read anything/everything Elhokar does in the first three books

Is there a separat video planed for the SL5 reading?

No it wasn’t this was a szeth flashback, the Dragonsteel 2023 interlude was the iriali one I think

[@robbybevard8034]

He's released Way of Kings Prime and Dragonsteel Prime is coming as part of the most recent kickstarter, but those are purely curiosities in that a lot of elelements from them ended up in Stormlight already (like all the bridge 4 stuff) which is why he's okay with sharing that, the polished version is already out. Those early books are from before he would do multiple revisions and are just first drafts, and would need a full rewrite and lots of revision to be shareable to the public.

[@Parmandur]

I think Brandon may underestimate the influence Korean TV may have influenced his approach to storytelling: we've been getting into some K-dramas recently, and looking into what the Korean TV industry does differently from other countries lines up precisely with some of Brandon's recent critique of the streaming TV production scene. K-dramas are long-form storytelling, with one director and one screenwriter hashing out the whole season in advance: precisely how Brandon has recommended shows should be made.

[@docstockandbarrel]

Alchemy of Souls is a great fantasy period piece.

I really think animation is the correct choice for ANY Sanderson book. Way better ways of conveying motion.

[@robbybevard8034]

This was from two years ago. Two years ago he was alot more optimistic about an announcement happening in 2023... but WoT and Rings of Power landing with huge thuds, and all the streaming networks reshuffling changed things so now stuff is more hesitant to officially greenlight.
