Now that he's starting to break into TV, films, and games, and now that he's expanding into merchandise and personal bookstores, he is on track to become a billionaire. He is a hundred times more entrepreneurial and driven than Rowling ever was. You are a looking at a man who could very well have a theme park this century. Why do you worship litfic losers who have to work a day job when writers this powerful walk the Earth?

Which is strange because his work is so unimaginative and pedestrian

Bowling for Columbine sucked

You have to appeal to people to get them to like you or the stuff you make, anon. No one is obligated to like your shit because it's unique or because you worked hard on it.

I fucking hate the way Sanderson writes but a lot of people love it and he knows how to give them what they want. That's not inherently a bad thing (Wind and Truth not withstanding). Do YOU bring fun and happiness (such as it is) into millions of people's lives?

>>25232591
Well Brandon I value innovation, challenge, scope, density, complexity so your ho-hum approach to epic fantasy just doesn't really move me and I don't think it moves you either

Looks like he has Down's Syndrome

>>25232565
What i like is that for the stormlight archive, they are gonna be forced to take most of the slog out of it, sanderson writes too many pages for what the actual story is

Thinking that being an adult means you have to be super serious and miserable all the time is just a lie perpetuated by people who make themselves miserable

Don't care, he's positioned in a point in time where the masses of goy cattle and the media industries are desperate for new slop material.

Sanderson is my hero. He has a niche and writes because he loves writing. The last best hope against romantasy
>>
>>25234261
There's more fat, childless romantasy foids than there are epic fantasy diehards, you're outnumbered.
>>
>>25232574
The current media environment loves luke warm grey slop. Weir is hot. Sanderson is hot. Rowling was hot, but accidentally had a strong opinion so now her multi billion empire actually has some trouble getting media greenlit with her approval. Not only should the media be inoffensive and with minimal texture, the creators should be snooze inducing when they speak.

Look at the adaptations they do of work that has even a moderate point of view, like Tolkien. Literally orc refugees holding an orc baby. Maybe the good guys were the bad guys all along. There’s no right or wrong. What if Sauron was hot though? Is he really so bad?
>>
>>25234445
Any "safe alternative" approach to a popular genre is always uninspired because it's centered around being derivative and the result is always cynical, just look at the maps Sanderson made for his Stormshart or whatever series, they're laughable. The fact that he's hot now also shows his hubris even though deep down, he knows better than almost anyone, that all George has to do is lift a finger regarding TWOW and Sanderson is back doing book tours in the midwest, where he belongs.

>>25232565
>theme park
/lit/izens should band together to create a rival theme park where you can go on amusement rides themed around the top 100 books while people dressed as characters from the books walk around and can test your knowledge. And it would rival the best theme parks and even start a few new religions
>>
>>25232565
Putting money on it, this shit’ll either never come out because they’ll want want to change things which’ll cause him to have a spergout and nuke the project, or they let him have control and it gets cancelled after, like, 2 seasons.
Nothing in his works is actually special enough to have cultural staying power, no matter how hard he tries to make “MCU but books”
>>
>>25235546
What was the last movie/show you watched that have characters literally enbodying the values that the west was build upon? Honor sacrifice repentance
Its gonna be a huge success my bro
