For the record, my headcanon on the letters is that they are all delivered by the same guy, and he is basically the exact same character as the delivery guy in Good Omens.

Homemade Hero of Ages Movie Poster
Images added to a gallery album owned by Personification in Mistborn Art
I made a fake poster for a theoretical Mistborn: The Hero of Ages movie. Just as a disclaimer, none of the real people named in the credits gave permission to use their names, and the silhouettes are based on the Vin and Elend cover art by Chris McGrath. -
From the album: Homemade Hero of Ages Movie Poster
For anyone wondering, Vin is on the left, Elend on the right, and an abstraction of Ruin/Marsh in the middle.- 5 comments

I have it, it is on this thread and in my about me (link in signature).

@Chaos, I have tried multiple times to post it as a 1.34 MB JPEG.
-
One was a little over 9, the other like 1.5 (I don't know why there was so much difference between the file types).
-
I also have this problem. I tried multiple times using two file formats (both supported) at two different sizes (both below the limit).

I kind of like it, but not as much as the first one for two main reasons: The first one had lots of purple, purple is objectively subjectively the best color. This design feels more juvenile. It kind of reminds me of covers for Magic Tree House and A to Z mysteries. I think I would have preferred something closer to the original cover, with Spensa in the center, but with her hair flowing outwards to represent anti-gravity-ness and the window behind her. -
I'll defend my artistic choices: 1. The original story has the main character choosing between doing what she promised and helping her morally ambiguous friend or doing what is right. I mirrored this with Kaladin having to break his promise to Moash. 2. Moash and Kaladin have their confrontation at the end of WoR, in which Moash can't fly and Kaladin gets to at a similar dramatic moment to when Elpheba does. By OB, they have no interaction that would fit the song, so Moash's abilities there don't really matter.

While normally I'd've said Miles, this isn't true for all blood compounds, so instead I will say chimeras, as they are abominations and deserve to die as quickly as possible. Which of these will be represented by a surprise appearance character in Endgame?

Stormlight Adaptation Challenges
Personification replied to Child of Hodor's topic in Stormlight Archive
Three Words: Midseason Holiday Specials. That solves the pacing problem (and also makes sense as the pacing of the book is designed for those short breaks anyway) and creates higher memorability ("Oh yeah, that's the guy from the Christmas special"). -
EDIT: I didn't see this page, never mind.

Do you think that if Nietzsche were Thaylen he would have handlebar eyebrows?

Are these from Avengers: Age of Ultron? They seem familiar. Their was a reason I asked that people put the original source of the quote.

Stormlight Adaptation Challenges
Personification replied to Child of Hodor's topic in Stormlight Archive
I am going to say right off of the bat that I am entering this as a book purist. I don't want to see anything major get changed, cut, etc., And certainly don't want to be in a weird position where the plot of the books and the theoretical show begins to diverge completely. However, I do understand that to make an adaptations that is both good and identical to the books is neither possible nor desired, and I too have put thought into this. With that in mind, my response to the OP: 1) I agree that this is too jumpy, though I do like someone else's Idea of easing in the prelude by making it a voiced-over scene. Maybe every episode could have a cryptic worldbuild-y narrated cold open, allowing more world knowledge as well as some epigraphs? I also agree that Cenn should be cut, but I think that some form of the scene needs to stay in, because it highlights just how far Kalladin has fallen. What about a transition from people around Gavilar's body talking about a need to go to war into soldiers near Kalladin complaining about not being on the shattered plains, which then leads to a scene of Kalladin being Kalladin on the battlefield, ending with the Shardbearer charging at him and then cutting to the slave wagon? (Yay run-on sentences!) 2) I don't think that this is a huge issue. As others have pointed out, people will watch depressing stories, especially if they know that giant swords are coming. 3) I actually think that Jasnah and Shallan's role should be expanded. If the details of her training are filled out and we get more scenes of back and forth with her brothers, it will help break up the Kaladin sadness better, there won't be a months-long period with no Shallan in it (a space that will be more noticeable in a show than it was in the book and less beneficial for pacing) and we can replace internal monologues (which are hard to adapt) with conversations with the brothers. 4) I have nothing more to add 5) I would much rather have people create rhythms for a show than remove the concept entirely, it is one of the most interesting parts of the worldbuilding and can be used to give a TV audience (who are listening as well as watching) insights into what is going on with Eshonai et al. in WoR. 6) This space intentionally left blank 7) This could be a problem, but it could also be an opportunity to find and highlight actors who are overlooked because they don't "look right" for most roles. There is nothing wrong with diversity. On the Thaylen thing, I think that if the eyebrows look natural it will be OK, and I'm pretty sure that Mraize's are short anyway. 8) This should be made after everything else anyway. Assuming that the rest of the Cosmere adaptation is a success, use the money and brand stability from that to fund good animation and CG, if not it won't matter because they won't have the support to make a new TV show.
