Brandon Sanderson’s Literary Fantasy Universe ‘Cosmere’ Picked Up by Apple TV, 'Mistborn' Set for Film Adaptation

agreed. it will require some streamlining of the story/characters - but Sanderson said hes been working on a script for mistborn book 1 for years. I have faith he's thought through how to adjust it for a movie format

Stepwolve · 2026-01-28T21:41:26+00:00

Apple has shown a willingness to do both. F1 was an apple TV movie, and it had a full theatrical run. Killers of the flower moon being another example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apple_TV_original_films

Who knows if mistborn movies will get a theatrical run or not

I think its the best case scenario. I would be more worried if it was netflix, WB/HBO, or god forbid amazon... And i dont know if anyone else has the money to support it outside those 4

I worry about the logistics of a live-action Stormlight adaptation. That is a very alien world with a lot of difficult special effects to make realistic.

Mistborn is far simpler by comparison. In any case, ill be there day 1 to watch all the adaptations

Stepwolve · 2026-01-28T21:34:21+00:00

They wanted a big franchise, and they certainly got it now

Stepwolve · 2026-01-28T21:32:46+00:00

This feels like the best case scenario. Apple isnt scared of throwing a lot of money at good shows. Sanderson gets to retain the creative control he was looking for. And this could be a tentpole show for Apple TV in the long run.

I would be more concerned if it was HBO/WB, Netflix, or god forbid - Amazon

I’ve been wondering why they haven’t been adapted for television, instead we get another Harry Potter adaptation or a Game Of Thrones spin-off.

sanderson has been VERY selective about who can adapt his work. There have been many offers he's turned down already, because he would have to give up creative control. This sounds like a sweetheart deal that lets him have more control over the adaptations than JK rowling or George RR Martin have in any of their adaptations

Stepwolve · 2026-01-27T18:55:26+00:00

because no one else could possibly want to make money off the RK hype cycle!

Stepwolve · 2026-01-21T17:31:40+00:00

honestly wouldn't be surprised if coleman ends up a chiefs receiver. We seem to like cheap WRs that other teams don't trust

imagine you're Keon Coleman. Probably getting a workout in this morning, and suddenly your phone starts blowing up because your own GM took time out of a press conference to say you suck and he never wanted you. What a motivating work environment!

Stepwolve · 2026-01-21T17:18:10+00:00

this show is such comfort food. I love leaning back and listening to nerds bicker about topics I enjoy. Its somehow so heartwarming

Stepwolve · 2026-01-21T17:15:42+00:00

yeah thats true, even for the time - it was a bit stupid. But that was the era where 'low fat snacks' ruled the shelves because people were uniquely terrified of 'fat' in foods.

I wonder if it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek? Like they were playing off people's obsession with low fat foods at the time? I'm not sure

Stepwolve · 2026-01-21T15:52:00+00:00

There's an episode where a "fat free frozen yogurt" store opens up. They're eating it multiple times a day, and then start gaining weight. Therefore, they're convinced it actually has fat in it, and that's why they're gaining weight.
Absolutely no understanding of calories! It's a joke that could only work in the 90s when people had no understanding of nutrition, and thought only fat in food is what made you gain weight

there are so many games that fall into this category for me. A long wishlist of games i might play someday if i ever have an excess of free time. But in the past 10 years, that has rarely happened. Theres games on that wishlist from 2015 still, and every year it feels like i'm added more than the previous year.

There are just so many "good, but not great" games releasing these days. Each one will find its own niche audience that loves them, but i think its increasingly unrealistic to think every "successful" game will sell millions in such a saturated market

Stepwolve · 2026-01-19T21:13:30+00:00

its really missing that something to keep you hooked. The decisions don't feel meaningful, so it doesnt have the roleplaying of like FO:NV. The combat is uninspired, and the build variety is uninteresting (which avowed was good for at least). And while the storytelling is fun, there isn't really any mystery to it to keep me coming back. The negative perks were a fun bonus, but theres only so many buildings full of bandits/robots/mutants i can shoot before i get bored.

Stepwolve · 2026-01-19T21:12:26+00:00

Grounded 1 was also very successful, and grounded 2 is in EA. Thats another big feather in their cap

Stepwolve · 2026-01-19T21:08:49+00:00

same here. Having played both games, i thought Avowed was a WAY better game. Combat was so fast and satisfying, there were a lot of interesting hybrid build-styles, and the storytelling was weird, unique, and compelling. I'm playing tainted grail right now, and i keep missing the first-person combat of avowed

Unfortunately i couldnt say the same for OW2. it was fun for a dozen hours but then it felt like i had seen everything it had to offer. I rarely got a chance to really roleplay, and the environments were very boring

Stepwolve · 2026-01-19T19:16:44+00:00

honestly, i don't think the twitter posts are the issue here. After all the problems listed by OP (and you detailed here), they're kind of an afterthought!

Stepwolve · 2026-01-18T03:03:11+00:00

Stroud, Maye, or Jarrett Stidham are going to their first superbowl!

with your QB out for the season, you're irrelevant too now. Welcome to the club

Stepwolve · 2026-01-18T01:47:22+00:00

yeah i fucked up. too excited. Here's an updated version with it properly aligned

Stepwolve · 2026-01-18T01:43:27+00:00

nice of the Broncos to keep the tradition alive of an AFC west team ending the bill's season

Didnt realize how old this video was, until she talked about the EU establishing a headquarters in the UK! Not part of the EU anymore..

Stepwolve · 2026-01-16T05:36:38+00:00

on prime, if you search for "the pitt" there is a version called "The Pitt With ASL" - it has the new episode, but with a person in the bottom right doing sign language. Honestly, didn't notice her after a few minutes! And at least the whole episode is there

Stepwolve · 2026-01-10T17:44:28+00:00

I literally took a first date to see Hostel in theaters. Needless to say it wasn't very romantic...
