When you see food and wish you were Lift. Or when you see a bowler hat and you think Wayne.

Try "I Don't Want This Kind of Hero" It's pretty good.

That depends on how many Lashings there are on the object. There doesn't have to be only one.

But since it's Kaladin, wouldn't that not feeling be a good thing for him? Not having to worry about any of the ten thousand worries of his brain? But he wouldn't be unmotivated because he's already lost Syl once which was like losing a part of himself. That kind of experience would guard you against the mental metals. Vin has been able to withstand powerful soothings. Albeit, Kliss and Straff weren't but, personally, I think it's because they were already so tunnel visioned that they only had one main emotion to wipe out. And if we're talking about KRs in general, if said KR was of an order like Jasnah with the surge of transportation, one could easily go to Shadesmar and then back. Hard to catch a hopping knight.

So can Mistborn. If a Mistborn were in a city with infinite reserves, than the Surgebinder would as well have infinite Stormlight. Take Kaladin for example. One of the great things about the Radiants is that they are not just given powers and become oh so powerful, but they had qualities before hand that already boosted their powers forward. Vin, as Mistborn, I still love her to death, only knew things that a street urchin would know, such as to survive, same as Kelsier. Perhaps that is what sets the two series apart. That powers on Scadrial choose those who have more the talent of mind/will, while on Roshar, Knights Radiant are chosen because they have a certain characteristic that completely sets them apart from the rest: Shallan's art, Kaladin's spearmanship. Okay, that doesn't make sense in words, but it sure made in sense in my head. Anyway, back to Kaladin, for the Rioting/Soothing, I almost feel like that wouldn't work on a KR. In Kaladin's darkest times, he almost to succumbed to a lot of the pressure that had built up around him, but Syl was always there to help pull him out of it. The spren itself can take the guise of many things. A spear in Kaladin's case, a sword in others, or even a fork. They can even take on a sense of a shield. When Kaladin was in the highstorm, he had visions of Syl standing over him protecting him from deathspren. As for the ripping metal out his body, the only person known to do that was the Lord Ruler and he was both Mistborn and Feruchemist, unless you count Vin when she was in all her "misty" glory at the end of the third book, but then that wouldn't be under fair leveled circumstances. Kaladin specifically can fly, and can change a direction as easily as a Mistborn and also has the advantage of making himself lighter which is only a Feruchemist ability. And using Steelpushing or Ironpulling? Kaladin could just as easily do what he did with the Parshendi and preform a Reverse Lashing. But I'm gonna give you an upvote for all you've said: you've really made me fight for this side and even more respect Mistborn.

But we don't even know what the other orders of the KR can do. There may be speculations, but one of the orders might have that same versatility. And who ever said that Szeth was a good guy?

True, but if you become a Shardbearer, you get a spren friend. And as for the uses of a shardblade...https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/cf/4d/d4/cf4dd4f850fe2ef9392961a8e7081235.jpg Well, that's if you can get the blade to not cut everything it comes into contact with.

Yep. I not really sure where, but he said that one of his three rules of writing was to make sure there were very distinct stumbling blocks to the powers, as it makes the climaxes/conflicts more real, which both forces the writer to be more creative and solve things in a more human way, and the readers completely astounded that the characters/author could do it.

I agree. What I think is kind of funny is how Mistborn and surgebinders are similar. Mistborn rely on metals for their powers, and - mostly referencing Kelsier and Vin - their main sources of Pushing and Pulling are boxings. Without the metal they can't do anything, and without the coins handy, they have to rely on whatever metal might be in their area. Surgebinders rely on stormlight for their power (unless your Lift) and Stormlight is most easily accessible from the spheres, which is the Rosharan currency. If they run out of spheres, then they could possible pull some from a highstorm, which is what Vin did, straight from the mists. I really like the idea of being able to "fly" through the sky, walk on walls, etc. But being an Edgedancer sounds pretty amazing too, to slide on anything. And if was like Lift, I could eat all the food I wanted without worrying about calories.

And they all have an obsession with hats. Oh, better yet: they can self-duplicate hats! That power would come out nowhere though, so kind of a lame but fun to think about idea.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned before, but Dalinar's views of Adolin are a little skewed, so it is hard to draw that line between being a son and another person "under" him. For one, being a highprince, Dalinar has to set a certain example. Yes, the law is kind kaput, but not following it is still less help than trying to follow it sometimes. He would have to judge his son fairly for murder, but taken in consideration for all the things that Sadeas had done, the punishments might be a little more equal. But then, there's Dalinar's even more personal opinions. I feel like Adolin and Renarin are almost a bit of shadow between Dalinar and Gavilar. Yes, the younger brothers are a bit different in characteristics, but the difference between the two is that the elder one usually gets the most attention, is the one that most people rely on. As a father, Dalinar would see Adolin with all the love as a father can, not like he's an unfeeling monster, but there is still that remembrance that because he is the father, he should be able to have more control over his son who reflects his sibling. In that, I'm not really sure if that would equate into the level of punishments, but it would help describe the level of conflict that the two often get into. And poor Adolin. He's never good at relationships with women, and if that extends to relationships with anyone (except Renarin), then he will never notice his father's past recollections. However, being a Bondsmith, he has to decide whether or not following whichever one of his opinions, will bring the people together. At this point, with the Everstorm on their doorstep, the law is kind of down the drain. Sometimes going against the law is the best way to unite people, instead of forcing them to a law that they obviously are not a fan of following. I really like that idea! Adolin might be a little shocked at this point, because now his father, brother, friend (Kaladin, I'm just calling them friends, whether they like it or not), and fiance, are all Knights Radiant. Becoming Shallan's knight would give him more confidence, as Shallan's style is not exactly the slice and dice method.

Yes! Like Tony Stark meets Shardplate/blades.

But it's still just running. I need something to do with my hands except sweating and clenching.

I like doing any sport: Ultimate, flag football, floor hockey, basketball, noodle hockey, bombardment, etc. as long as I'm running around. But I can't stand track. The irony: I like all sports where you run except the sport where all you do is run. (Yes, I know there's track and field but I'm directing it at just track.)

Could you explain that?

Yes! This fanmade music for Mistborn Era 2 really made me want to see a movie. Twinborn by David Gruwier

Heh. Sorry. I'm super bad at picking up humor on a computer chat. But attempt appreciated!

What would happen if a kandra (TenSoon) ate a chasmfiend? Those koloss armies wouldn't stand a chance!

Go ahead! I really don't want to down anyone. That was just my extreme bias. I've heard of lots of people who actually like it, and it's not like I'm going to go all chasmfiend on them.

YES!!!! And to all those who say that anime is a niche, it will only gain more people. Regardless if it becomes a live action or anime, all us Sharders would go to see it, right? RIGHT? I think it would be awesome to see the mists and Vin done in such a format.

Frankly, I am one the fence about this one. I appreciate both of the pairings. As much as Kaladin and Shallan are opposites, there's always that cliche that opposites attract but that's beside the point. They mirror each other as well because they are both hiding a kind of hurt that no one else has been able to understand. Shallan killed her father, and Kaladin has his issues with honor and family. The parallels between those is that they try so hard to be the person the others want to see, ye their personal conflicts kind of stop them from fulfilling that. Like in WoR, Kaladin was obsessed with making sure that he could keep up moral and keep out betrayal, giving everyone a fair enough chance, yet that fairness stops with lighteyes. Despite having Syl as his honrospren, it's still a struggle. Shallan is like that cracking vase, acting as both Veil and Brightness Davar. She keeps up the lies and such, as innate of a Radiant of her level, but it does wear on her, and soon she'll have to choose one or the other. (Hm, almost reminiscent of Vin and Valette.) I like Adolin enough because he's sincere, ignoring the fact of his multiple failed relationships. And plus he's got a good relationship with Renarin. Kaladin is Kaladin. It's hard to not like him. But what might break his relationship with Shallan is when she finds out that she kills her brother. Sadeas is not exactly a fan of her's anyway, so Adolin being behind the dagger might not be too big of a thing. However, I almost feel like Shallan is still playing the "fake" fiance to Adolin. In the beginning of their relationship, it was her responsibility to get Adolin to like her enough to secure money for her home and the Soulcaster, really not for any romantic concerns. With Kaladin though, it was a mutual growth. Getting stuck in a chasm does that to you. So yeah, not really agreeing, or disagreeing, but I like the points that you brought up.

@Andy92Sounds like Jasnah's relationship with Wit. So how about Wayne and Wit. Oh, better yet: Wayne, Wit, Lift, and the Lopen. Maybe throw Lightsong in there. And Sarene. Basically every sarcastic character that Sanderson has created for the Cosmere.

THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for noticing that! That bothers me so much!

If you don't mind, I would like to vent a particular thorn in my side: Avatar the Last Airbender (read: the movie) As a devoted fan of the original series, this full film remake was an utter catastrophe, like the Ember Island Players had come to the real world but without Sokka's help and their stage effects. IT. WAS. BRUTAL. Now I would like to say that I'm not a biased person, so I'll try to explain in from the viewpoint of someone who has not seen the original series. Basically, you have this kid, who acts like he's old but really can't pull it off. He's off to save the world through a campaign against the enemy, and ends up in the North where he staves off a whole bunch of lizard riding masked men. Oh yeah, he has some siblings to help, one who can move water and the other who's basically there for a less-than-a-week relationship with a princess who turns into the moon. Some of these people can move dust, others can move torches. Still others can catch fish and melt ice. Yep, those are your special power options. I was disappointed. The lines were cheesy, the graphics were cheesy, and the chemistry between EVERYONE was cheesy! It literally hurt my soul to watch. On a tone of the bending, from the POVs of both fans and non fans, seriously, how long does it take you to move some Earth or produce fire? Those Earthbenders were extremely disappointing; a bunch of uncoordinated grunts and lunges and all that happens is: Ta Da! A wall of dirt! Yay! And the Firebenders! Point: they do not need to be next to a source of fire to bend fire. That would've seriously restricted their movements in the original series. Get it right M. Night Shyamalan. Oh actually, don't try, it would probably be another fail.
