Roshar has to be depicted in anime. A high quality modern anime style, certainly, but it will not be done properly otherwise. The CGI bill for spren alone would be too high and they’d skip them.
I have a few problems with this and first and foremost is that their study is about teens yet they surveyed ten to twentyfour year olds about it.
Secondly is that the infographic says that teens would prefer more friendships over romantic relationships but this doesn’t account for the fact that there’s been a trope for the last decade where there is always some stupid romantic relationship shoehorned into any fucking story even if it makes no sense or distracts from the main story. For all we know, teens and twenty-somethings could be tired of romance being injected into movies and TV when the story doesn’t call for it but be otherwise fine with it when it enhances a story.
Hopeful, uplifting content with people “beating the odds.”
I don’t only want that by any means, but it sure would be nice to have more positive stories. Even better, more shows and movies where not every character is horribly irredeemable.
I agree with the teens. We already live in a dystopia, no need to have that in our movies and books anymore.
There’s a reason cottage core exists. And how popular bridgerton is, and that’s not because of the sex in the series, but the escapism to a world where war barely gets mentioned. And where costumed balls are all the rage.
21, century of the fantasy, watch out antique civilisations!
Teens,
They want to believe in a world that isn’t terrible.
Want to have perfect friends they don’t have.
Want social media to be real life.
We are in the era of make believe and roleplay and we wonder why nothing is getting done in the real world.
Makes me want Cosmere movies even more than I already did
“Uplifting fantasy about characters that ‘beat the odds’” is like
The entire thing.
I think movie is the wrong medium for most of the Cosmere. Too short form. Mini series or anime-style might be better?
He’s said that he specifically wants Mistborn era 1 in live action movie format, and has written a screenplay for that.
Apparently he was really close to having production start on it, actually.
As for the rest, I’d hope Roshar gets animated, but at the same time, I’d love to see it done properly in live action as a TV show.
