Why should you subscribe to the channel? Explainers, summaries, and deep dives on fantasy and sci-fi series, including Brandon Sanderson's the Cosmere!
Can’t believe I found this cool channel by mistake! Cool video I love it
Thanks! I hope you'll stick around! Lots of stuff planned for the future!!
It would double your scope… but in terms of creating “forever content” you may consider creating two playlists per series. A “first read” series and a “upon reread” series. “You can only read a story for the first time once…” - Patrick Rothfuss
Hey that’s a good idea! Not sure I’ll have the time for something so vast, but I’ll definitely consider it. The rereads are great for the Cosmere. I think at a minimum I’ll be doing an Easter Egg video for each book, which would be All Cosmere spoilers (or whatever is applicable). Thanks for the advice!!
Can someone remind me who Axwindeth is?
SPOILERS Rhythm of War . . . . . Axindweth is a character who gives Venli the gemstone holding Ulim, the voidspren, which leads to Venli finding the forms of power. SPOILERS Mistborn ALL . . . . . She wears rings and jewelry, which indicates she’s a Feruchemist, meaning she’s a worldhopper from Scadrial, the world in Mistborn. The discussion around her is interesting enough to make me think I need to make a video on her (and potentially other worldhoppers on Roshar)!
Cold War era I believe is the time period/vibes he is going for Era 3. Honestly I’m most excited for the RPG books to get some more unknown knowledge.
SPOILERS The Lost Metal . . . . . Yeah, seems Cold War/80s vibe was hinted at in Lost Metal, between Malwish/ South and Basin/North Scadrial! I’m also pumped for the world guide books, the art shown off so far is amazing!!
This channel is 100% ai made nothing changes my mind
Hey, sorry to hear you think that. I have used no AI in creating the scripts, gathering research, and I refuse to use AI generated art so I can highlight the actual artists of the community, including giving credit for every piece used. The only AI used is through davinci resolve’s audio to subtitle tool, which leverages the GPU neural engine functionality, which is in no way generative AI. I hope I can make you change your mind, as I will not use AI for my channel.
Wish he’d just focus on the cosmere. Don’t care for his noncosmere works
I get that feeling, but I think he thrives on the variety. I do think as time goes on, a larger percentage of his time will be focused on Cosmere work!
I completely agree, and I hate that his YA tone carries over into his Cosmere works. Compare how Way of Kings reads to Wind and Truth - it's like two different authors.
great to hear about the summary videos planned, i find some concepts sometimes to be confusing and that would be quite helpful, specially in later books regarding the spren and surges.
Awesome! Yeah my goal is to let people check in over here after each part to get those kinds of questions answered!!
Great video, keep it up! Just finished WaT and still have Mistborn Era 2 to go :D
Mistborn Era 2 has some GREAT characters in an awesome setting! Would you want a recap of Wind and Truth in a couple months? Trying to determine if it’s a good idea to squeeze it in.
Ghostblood for sure. Warbreaker sequel a close second. I'm really most curious about Axindweth, I wonder if she'll show up somewhere outside Stormlight
Some great takes here. Hopefully she is shown somewhere, but with how the end of WaT turned out, I have NO idea how that will go!
@@Unarchivist *SPOILER* for Wind and Truth . . . . . I was hoping since it mentioned her being a full Feruchemist that she'd show up in Mistborn era 3. Not sure how the Cosmere timeline goes, but with the time dilation, maybe if she leaves Roshar, a bunch of time would have passed on Scadrial? But she can use Feruchemy and Breath that we know of, she must be highly invested and have World Hopper know-how, I think...
Wind and Truth SPOILERS . . . . . Exactly, but given her involvement with giving Venli the gemstone containing Ulim way back when, her origin story is also interesting. Did we know if she was a Ghostblood?
@Unarchivist I'm not sure if we've ever known for sure what her agenda was or is
We do not... Seems like a character setup for later!
Wait, the Ghostblood trilogy is Mistborn era 3? That is going to be so cool!
Yeah! Looking forward to it so much!!
Even more exciting, the Elantris Sequels are supposedly going to heavily feature a particular Ghostblood member(or even members?) from Sel. It looks like we're going to be getting some context for why exactly those characters show up when they do in TLM.
I certainly hope so! I’m excited for Sel to get some more development, it’s been over a decade since we visited!
Loved the pre WaT videos! Glad to see there’s some ambitious plans next for you
Appreciate the support! I'm excited for it too!
I love Brandon and these books, but I have to watch your videos (and others) to understand most of what's going on under the surface. Thanks so much!!
Hey! That’s exactly why I made them! So glad they help!
A great video, bro. Thanks
Thank YOU! More videos to come!!
You perfectly depicted and worded the lead up to wind and truth, we appreciate your work!
Wow, I appreciate your compliment!!
Great summary
Thanks, glad you liked it!
This is the kind of recap I needed before wind and truth. Thank you.
Glad it’s what you were looking for!
Forgot how long it’s been between books, this definitely helped a lot!
Good to hear! There’s a ton to cover because these books are just so expansive
You make amazing videos, youre definitely gonna blow up
Wow, thanks for high praise! I’ll do my best to live up to it!
Each unmade reminds me of some passion/emotion that goes out of control. Certainly related to Odium in that way, even though some have more/less autonomy (Sja-Anat). Great metaphysical psychology Sanderson has going here. Fantastic work!
That’s an interesting thread that could get pulled on more. We don’t know enough about all of them, but I have a budding theory that there is a connection to the 9 surges the Fused follow, with one each in some distorted way. We’ll have to read more to find out!
One of the best recaps out there. Thanks!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!!
This was amazing, thank you
You're very welcome, glad you liked it!
Couldn't Odium use hemalurgy to restore Moash's eyesight to use him as a champion?
Perhaps, but we haven’t seen Hemalurgy used directly in Stormlight, so that would be quite the jump
this was a great way to refresh on specifically what it was I needed to keep in the forefront of my mind going into WaT, thanks for the vid!
Wow so glad it had what you needed, I worked hard on these videos to get them out before Wind and Truth. Hope you enjoy the book!
Thank you for this. My copy of Wind and Truth arrived in the post today and I really needed a quick recap of the unmade before getting into it. I love the way you have managed to give a lot of detail and yet keep it quite short. 😊
Thank YOU for this comment, this was exactly the purpose of the channel when I created it. There are a couple other videos that could help before you start reading and this video was one of the longer ones. Hope they help too! Thanks for watching!
really good video, keep it up!
Hey thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
no such thing as spoilers
What do you mean?? Journey before Destination, of course, but there are things you want presented to you as the author intended, right??
finished the recaps and got my copy of WaT but too tired to start reading tonight so will watch this playlist and then start reading tmr
Sounds like the perfect plan to me! Thanks for watching!!
My ebook copy of WaT dropped halfway through this video and I'm so glad I finished watching before i cracked it open! Your work is so appreciated!!
Hey thanks for the comment, I hope you enjoy every page of the new book!
Dude, thank you for this great overview of what I forgot!
Awesome, glad it helped you!
someone needs to pour over descriptions of lifts mother. she's talked about way too often to be irrelevant
That’s a great point! There could be something there for sure!!
I'd love it to be that Dalinar chooses himself as champion, but is foiled and fails the contest, but they jerryrig it enough that Todium can't use Dalinar against his former allies and family and the back five books they figure out how to get him beyond the Rosharan subastral and he's sent into the wider cosmere to fight in this greater war (Autonomy's machinations?)
That would be an interesting second half arc!
I love these lecture style videos. Ty for doing the research
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Going for a more serious tone, but don’t want it to be too lecture-like to be boring. More to come!
Just wanted to say how much I love these videos. This is exactly what I was looking for when I needed a recap. I couldn't keep up with the 1/2 hour videos from other channels. I feel much better having watched these than anything else. Keep it up!
Hey glad the videos helped!! Getting these videos down to manageable to view, let alone manageable to edit, was pretty tough. There’s just so much to discuss with these books!
I don't know you but in the mosaico I can see Dalinar being Odium's Paladin
You mean becoming Fused like in the agreement if he loses?
@Unarchivist yes, Odium is represented with the color yellow/golden, so the "golden wings" of Dalinar could be Odium empowering/controlling Dalinar, and forcing him to use the Stormfather as a Shardblade
Interesting theory! Hopefully we get our answers VERY soon!!
@@Unarchivist Hype!
After the 5th book you should make 100 videos on every single topic. No one is giving in depth videos as we don't know everything and sometimes they are not willing. You should be the de facto channel for storm light archive. Best of luck
Hey wow that’s high praise! Thank you so much!! I’m not full time by any means, and these videos took a ton of time to put together. I certainly have a plan to get to 100 videos eventually, but it will be a long journey of multiple years to get to that. There’s plenty of time before Stormlight 6, so that will help, but I definitely want to maintain quality over quantity. Deep dives are definitely on the list for new content, so stick around!
@@Unarchivist I know that and i want you to take many years, it would be the channel to look back and reminisce. And I also don't want you to be full time, then it would be your livelihood, i don't want that. If i was not married and my work was not so taxing and if i was a native english speaker i would create these videos for sure.
Hey thanks for that, I’m really looking forward to the future of the project. Definitely want to live up to the praise everyone has been giving in just these first few weeks. It’s a good pressure, and I’m excited to share more with this budding community soon!!
Storms!!! 1 more day!
Time to find a storm shelter!!
Great video!
Hey, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for subscribing!!
It would be cool to see a video detailing the minute by minute Gavilar murder once WaT drops! Love your videos man keep it up
Ohh that’s such a great idea, but I simply don’t have time to make a new one! I’ve taken that down as an idea for pre Stormlight 6 for sure!!
Such well made videos. Thank you for the refresher!
