What do you think of the cover? I love it! PRE-ORDER THE ON WRITING E-BOOK ON AMAZON HERE: tinyurl.com/y6r3mfpf It will be released MAY 30. Then leave any QUESTIONS DOWN BELOW for the Q&A

I love the cover! I noticed under the title it said Volume 1. Are there more than one?

[@realmless4193]

Have you written any novels?

[@amandaanderssongranquist4632]

The book looks absolutely amazing and super useful! Will the paperback be available on other sites than amazon at a later date? Would prefer to buy it from a local booksite since the shipping to my country when using amazon tends to be way too expensive + I would have to pay import fees T.T

[@elithereddude3021]

Yo! That cover is sick! Hits me right in the fantasy loving feels! I feel like such a nerd when I come here and it's thrilling. Edit: This sucks. Just lost my card. When I get a chance, I'm buying that book. Gimme.

"Now, you might side with Cap' or you might be wrong." XD Subtle.

[@Rain..._]

fucking based, holy shit

[@justalurkr]

MCU Cap just wanted his Bucky back. 616 Cap had more substantive reasons for opposing registration.

[@ZachValkyrie]

Not inaccurate tho.

[@urieldaluz250]

I mean, id disagree. In the MCU at least. Sure cap is talking about being held accountable themselves rather than to the government, but he also doesn’t offer any idea what that means It is arguable that, at the start of the movie, his negligence caused the deaths of a whole lot of civilians But he’s not exactly offering any suggestions to take account for that. Let me be clear. The idea the government running the heroes wouldn’t cause problems isn’t silly. But at least it creates accountability. But what happens if cap keeps fucking up? What can be done to actually change things if the heroes keep getting people killed? (Now, not saying they’re responsible for everyone they fail to save, but the inciting incident of the movie makes decently clear things go down bad due to the haste of the heroes leaving gaps for shit to go south that a more measured approach may have stopped) In the comics it’s Cap all the way, partly due to the zero tolerance methods of the iron man side, but in the movies? I always saw cap as kinda just being dismissive of the idea that anyone should tell him what to do.

[@1mag1nat1vename]

@@urieldaluz250 I want to start by saying that I'm Team Cap, because the government shouldn't own our good deeds or regulate heroism. With that said... Weakening Cap's stance may be a feature of the movie. If the writers and director made the choice of who to side with more clear, there wouldn't be a "civil war" among the audience. That was the point of the movie, not encouraging American freedom.

[@PolyChromium]

Cap thought that they should continue to send superhuman weapons into countries without permission and cause millions of collateral damage without sanction. I mean, he’s Captain AMERICA, meaning everything he does represents America, so him leading the charge into random countries, completely surprising them, is going to give the Land of the Free a bad image.

[@essexclass8168]

Think you could make a part 2 of this on "foreigners caught/intervening in a civil war"? Something like the USA in Vietnam, UN in Korea and Soviets in Afghanistan, Germans in China and Team Avatar (besides Korra) in S2, Korra in the Beifong-Earth Empire "War", and literally everyone non-Imperial/Traitor in Warhammer 40,000 .

[@untitleduck9623]

Man, I never really get to see the Chaos/Imperial conflict as a civil war, maybe in the Horus Heresy, but onward looks more like an "us vs them" war. I never heard of a Chaos vs Empire story that involves good friends fighting with each other that DOESN'T take place before or during the Seige of Terra.

on writing and worldbuilding VOLUME 1 do you already know how many volumes there will be in total or is it a project without limits?

[@kokorodaki4017]

I'd guess that as he does more on-writing videos, he'll slowly compile those into future volumes. It said here that everything up to his 'hidden worlds' video will be in this book, so I'd guess that everything since then, and probably further, would be included in volume two.

[@gandalf1126]

As a german, "All quiet on the western front" is a must-read in school. And i absolutely loved it. There was one scene I would like to repeat and try to phrase it in english. The main character is fleeing with his comrates while leaving granades behind:"We became perilous beast. We do not fight, we defend ourselves against pure destruction. We dont throw our grenades against humans. We dont understand humanity in this moment, no, we know that there is certain death behind us and for the first time since three days we can face it. We are raging because we can defend ourselves against it for the first time in three days. We dont lay unable to move in the trenches. We can destroy and kill in order to save ourselves and to avenge. Behind every corner, and every barbed wire we hide and throw the explosions at the others. This explosion carries us and makes us faster, changes us into highwaymen, murderers and into devils. [...] If your father came with those on the other side, you would not hesitate to throw a grenade against him."

Congratulations on the book. You are right to think it's beautiful. Props to the artist. I'm happy to hear that you want to do more nerdy content on avatar, seeing as those are my absolute favorite videos of yours. I was wondering if you might talk a bit about the S02 finale of Korra(I know I know, just hear me out). Specifically, I was hoping you would talk about one word. "Dissipated." This is the term used to describe the final action taken against the ultimate force of chaos in the universe, and it is glossed over AT BEST. In fact, this word only exists in the descriptions of the episode, and no where in the series itself. The outcome of Korra's spirit bending in this moment are unique. Every other time we see this technique used we see different results, yet when done to the dark avatar(for lack of a better term) the target turns to gold dust and floats into the ether. I am eternally curious what the implications of this are on the lore of the universe. What does the struggle for balance look like in the following decades, or centuries?
