Movie? What movie? There was no movie

Kudos to you, took me 6 years and I am a relatively fast reader. The slog was too much. Needed a break every ~2 books. Mostly enjoyable read, but I wouldn't do it again
-
I decided to be mostly skeptical until proven otherwise. ^because is too true where avatar is concerned :,(

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the goat attacked. There are three things all wise men fear: a goat at sea, a night with no goat, and the anger of a gentle goat. Goat fell from the sky...

So, avatar is coming to Netflix. Not exactly sure how I feel about this. The disappointment of the 2010 movie was strong. What does everyone here think? This about sums it up for me:

The battle for Urithiru's lost library (Shallan and the boys VS Re-Shephir)
Moonrise commented on dnavenom's gallery image in Stormlight Archive Art

Oh definitely missed that point. Also found a WoB on soulcasting to make aluminum. Looks like as usual the question has been asked before. Still I wonder of limitations if any.

As much as this sounds perfectly reasonable... ..I cannot see Marsh being okay with any being approaching him with something sharp. Marsh, the strong independent Ironeyes and Death Himself turning his back on someone to get a shave? After all that he has been through, I expect he will have trust issues.

I am wondering about this actually. As a sink for investiture, I assume you cannot soulcast alumimum into anything else. But would it be reasonable to assume cosmere magic allows soulcasting to make aluminum? Thinking about this, I get a mental image of everyone running around in soulcast aluminum armor and that feels too powerful. Seems like it would upend cosmere magic balance and by Brandon's magic laws there should be limitations. Perhaps the stormlight cost to soulcast aluminum is extrodinarily high. If it is possible, maybe that is why Hoid wanted this ability? Almost seems like a videogame cheatcode. Hoid is a videogame cheat code.

Dark One Graphic Novel Creative Team, Cover Art, and Release Date Revealed!
Moonrise commented on WeiryWriter's article in Brandon and Book News
Quite like this art style! I am optimistic that it will portray the story well -
In case you did not see yet, Brandon has some really nice YA series as well. Reckoners in particular (Steelheart is book 1) is quite popular I hear and his new book coming out this year (Skyward) sounds interesting. If you want really meaty, then Wheel of Time (WoT) 14 book series could be for you

First Time Reader - First Time Caller
Moonrise replied to Goldeneyes_Kholin's topic in Introduce Yourself!
Welcome @Goldeneyes_Kholin to 17S! Have an upvote, and I would suggest to steer clear of the hemalurgic cookies... -
Welcome @TruthlessofShinovar! Welcome to the forum you join to learn about Hoid's antics and stay for discussions involving Realmatic Theory... To start with Way of Kings is indeed ambitious of you. I am glad you are giving Mistborn a try! That is where I recommend starting with cosmere. His writing style is unique, but I promise that finishing the trilogy will blow you away. Have an upvote and avoid the hemalurgically spiked cookies

I have been teaching Matlab for a while , and believe me that was not the case. I helped the student figure it out so now there is just a mildly entertaining story.

4/5 Easy investiture, without the bother of judging art. Weather could be improved, but hey, at least I wasn't bored. Would visit again. ~Lightsong

The Longest Thread (Misadventures)
Moonrise replied to ElephantEarwax's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Given this chance to start fresh, Urafius sought to bring meaning back into his life. But he's not sure where he is. Had Endowment dropped him somewhere random on Nalthis? At least he wasn't floating in vacuum anymore.- 111978 replies

Reading this thread has convinced me that it deserves to be necro posted every once in a while so more Sharders can read of this insanity. Talk about taking analysis to the extreme. ^not that I believe in any of this. But I would love to be proved wrong!

I do not have a turn it off/on again story, but programming indeed has its own bugs... "My new Matlab function won't work" "You are using FunctionName inside the script for FunctionName. It doesn't work because it doesn't exist yet. Why do you need it here anyway?" "But how is FunctionName supposed to work without FunctionName inside it?" "That's why you are writing FunctionName in the first place"

Nah, you are never over-doing it if you do not think you are

Or you could remain guild-free, where the key word is "free". A semi-lurker occasionally adding a comment here and there Welcome to 17S by the way.

Does anyone know what Brandon read during Jordancon?
Moonrise replied to MountainKing's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I believe it is quite canon. Brandon's hesitation in releasing when he wrote it (8-9 years ago) suggests that. As per his little intro before reading it. -
Great Quotes misattributed to Sanderson's Characters.
Moonrise replied to Dahak's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Correct! The third is from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," an old classic perpetually on my to-watch list, but I seem to have heard that is a popular quote. -
Great Quotes misattributed to Sanderson's Characters.

"Never get involved in a land war in Alethkar!" -- young Dalinar "Are we human because we gaze at the moons, or do we gaze at them because we are human?" -- Jasnah (There is something strange about those moons...) "Every gun makes its own tune" -- Wax or Ranette -
When the cover of Oathbringer was revealed featuring Michael Whelan's beautiful artwork of brilliant Jasnah Kholin, I knew I would eventually make this costume. The dress concept is simple, elegant, and practical.
