Unpopular Brandon Sanderson Opinions

[Retrac he/him]

Don't hate me but....

1.I actually like Shallan as a character. 

2. I think Elantris is stupid, boring, and pointless.

3. I like Moash and think he is a good bad guy.

I actually haven't gotten around to reading Elantris, but besides that I completely agree with 1 and 3

*reminds myself to take a deep breath and not get offended at some of these as I have unpopular opinions aswell* 

I don’t like Navani, I didn’t trust her book 1 and that festered into plain dislike.

Ah,

has it gotten infected?

[Frustration]

Shallan shouldn't exists

Adolin is boring

Venili is ok at best

Lopen and Rock are disposable side characters

Lift is near perfect and should never change

Stick is pointless and should be forgotten.

I agree, but only mostly with #2. Completely with #1 and #3.

Nah, I’ve got plenty of knobweed sap all saved up. It was close there for a little though.

Moash did nothing wrong.

he was always very upfront about his hatred towards Elokhar. his reason to hate Elokhar were also reasonable. Elokhar was a liability for the entire nation. he even told Kaladin what he was going to do. Kaladin was willing to let it happen for a while. Kaladin is the bad guy, not Moash.

Moash choose the right side to fight for. the Parshendi are the good guys.

Mistborn has a stupid premise, people eat metal for super powers, if anyone but Brandon did that it would be one of the dumbest things ever.

What I find impressive is that Feruchemy and Hemalurgy have premises that look good even at first glance. But Alomancy really seems goofy, I remember that my first reaction was disbelief, but I was very curious to know what would happen. And it was worth it.

*takes a deep breath* I actually liked Calamity's ending.

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

I ship Shaladin. I have not found anyone else who does.

That's unpopular? I liked it too.

[I Am A Fish he/him]

I thought it was so-so...

It would be better if Sanderson laid back on main characters with disabilities.

I'm all for having some of them, but Stormlight is a bit extreme.

This sounds heartless.

I agree with this. Not the heartless.

[Orlion Blight he/him]

Everyone has a disability. Brandon's is NOT WRITING THE LOST METAL! *grumble snarl*

Also, the Mistborn series is better than Stormlight

Yes. Just yes.

[The One Ring she/her]

Stormlight (tho I think almost everyone has already read it)

Spoiler

Kaladin didn’t protect Elokhar because it is right, he did it because he think Elokhar is Tien. (He’s not Tien, he was trained from birth to be a king, and no, we don’t know what would happen if Tien had been train from birth to be a soldier, he died having 0 training/battle experience)

Also, my friend said Mistborn Era 1 book 2 and book 3 could be combine into one book, I didn’t feel this way when I first read it, but I do think this can work after I did a reread.

I can't say which is better, but I definitely prefer Mistborn and am more excited for W&W 4 than I am for Rhythm of War. 

[Snorkel]

I agree!

That IS an unpopular opinion!

I know this thread is for unpopular opinions but...

This isn't a thread for wrong opinions.

 

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

Perhaps the true unpopular opinion is that Stormlight Archives is much better than Mistborn.
