Not to totally derail this thread, but in answer, just the fact that he dislikes TLJ so much is what I disagree with.
Don't worry about the subject matter. I opened this thread to talk about everything involved in the interview.
On that subject, was there somethings that Brandon disliked that you liked, or vice versa, or was there something that you liked from say a writing perspective that Brandon didn't mention?

shad invited brandon to australia to "compare their swords", am I the only one getting distracted by the double entendre?
No, they showed their swords to their wives after they cut their wedding cakes with them.

I feel quite daft that this seems to be such a well-talked about announcement but I have no idea who this guy is. I know that Sanderson goes to "the experts" for help but it's never usually an announcement anywhere. I get that people are happy that it's happened but I'm just a little confused?
Eh, it's just something that I thought was interesting, as I follow the guy, and I wanted to see what everyone else thought. To me, the interview itself was generally interesting in subject matter. Also, on why people might be excited, the answer is memes, very, very, many memes essentially, or so I would say.

I do have to say, that this announcement doesn't excite me all that much. Glad it does him. I used to watch Shad's videos and all, but now I just can't do it.
I think that there are a number of cool things that we can get. For example, I think we could get a get paper, like on alcohol or glyphs, but on the stances. Well, that and a number of smaller things. But something like that is what I would hope to come from this.

I'd like it if we can get some more technical combat details, for example the different techniques of the different stances.

Interesting Idea. Id give it a solid Maybe. On the one hand they're using an Aluminum sheath to contain the power of Nightblood the rest of the time, so the mechanism should work. On the other hand you are talk about directly opposing Investiture effects, and Nightblood is waaaay more invested than any Allomancy the average Mistborn could use, it would likely require a flair at least, and maybe some Duralumin enhancement.
Well from my perspective, it's not a question of investiture. The aluminum just counters it. So far that we've seen, there is no amount of investiture which truly cannot contain, including Nightblood, so I would disagree. Then again, we haven't seen much of this kind of interaction in any meaning, so who knows. Aluminum has only ever been seen to be burnt once in the books, and never been seen to be used to counter other investiture's via its allomantic ability. I think that it would be quite constructive on this subject to see if it is at all possible to Push or Pull on aluminum, especially burning duralumin and/or using the Bands of Morning.

Greetings fellow Sharders, just came in from watching a video from a youtuber I follow by the name of Shad. He released a video today of an interview he did with Brandon, covering various topics, such as the intersection of realism and fantasy, a few various questions, such as who Brandon's favorite super hero is, various pop culture items, publishing and self-publishing, and the announcement that Shad is going to be doing some consulting for Brandon in regards to various Medieval things, like swords, combat, armor, etc. I just wanted to make a thread to see what the thoughts are of anyone else who has watched the video and to discuss the contents therein.

Fullborn + Skybreaker
Potentially practically unlimited investiture, find a way off Roshar and then you can full cosmere with power set. Anything you touch gets destroyed. Also interplay between lashes and steel pushes, iron pulls, and iron feruchemy means that just about any kind of trajectory or motion is possible, with enough A,F pewter and F gold to withstand G forces.

I think the problem is that it would take a podcast, or maybe a convention, of authors just to equal his output.

What are your biggest things you would change within the cosmere, and how do you think that would affect everything?
Lift would like bacon. Obviously the whole cosmere is improved as a result.

Oh, I’ve always thought that the guards were being influenced by Yelig-nar, via the bond with Aesudan. Though, in hindsight, I’m not sure how the Surges would make that possible...and it doesn’t quite make sense for Ashertmarn to be influencing them, because they don’t show any signs of the Revel like the Ardentia does.
So, maybe Sja-anat can corrupt humans. That’d be a really good question to ask Brandon.
Think I just need to get the motivation to find a quote on it. WOB's are a valuable resource. So is my motivation apparently.

@Lightblood I don’t see any reason why she shouldn’t be able to corrupt other types of Investiture since she can corrupt spren. Though I have no idea where you got the idea that she could corrupt humans. I definitely did not get that impression while I was reading OB, so would you care to show the relevant passage(s) that give you that impression?
Looking for pg. number, but I do believe it is specifically mentioned, not in Mythica epigraphs however.
Though not directly stated, it is then heavily implied, to me at least, that the palace guards have been corrupted.

The Way of Kings
SpoilerA MD finally gets his field experience he always wanted, a biologist learns the wonders of the indoors, and Roshar's top VR player shows off the wonders of long-term investiture investing.
Meanwhile, our VR player had some fun with a crab, MD also started lifting, and our Biologist had a nice time with bread and jam on break.
Words of Radiance
SpoilerMD goes corporate and becomes part of VR player's retinue because of a hostile takeover (see investiture investments), VR Player investment's returns have now equaled the principal, Crab people also have fun with the weather.
Oathbringer
SpoilerMD tries to help the people, getting involved with multiple groups to try to improve his resume, the Biologist experiments with the effects of sugars with attached oxide groups, and VR player becomes a dev, also Top VR player's investment's returns really start to come in at fantastic rates (>5*Principal)
