Brandon Sanderson and Wren's Weichman Five Favorite Superpowers!

I still can’t believe we didn’t get a legit backup intro where I wasn’t joking 😅😅😅. Thanks for much for having me on the show! It was a blast to discuss super powers with someone so knowledgeable about them. I shouldn’t have been surprised when he whipped out a triple tier ranking system, cuz of course he would! See you all at Dragonsteel Nexus! -Wren

Wren is the reason I started reading BrandoSando's books

What the what!!! Years of wearing cosmere shirts on corridor paid off!

Wren sticking with the gimmick of mispronouncing names even in the face of one of his favourite authors. The mad lad. Legend.

True story: what actually got me into Sanderson books was Wren doing a sponsored bit on a Corridor video. He talked about Mistborn: The Final Empire as a way to promote Audible and I was like "hey, that sounds like a fun book, I haven't read fantasy in awhile." And now I'm most of the way through Brandon's body of work.

Wren meets with Brandon for a light, fun video about superpowers... Goes home with a reading list of 20+ books to make time for.

Brandon and wren, in the same room, geeking out?! THIS is what the internet was made for.

If I shared a story idea with Brandon Sanderson and he responded with “That’s a great concept!” I wouldn’t sleep for the next 72 hours due to stressing over making it more of a concept.

Wren will one day be hired as the Visual Effects director on Brandon’s movies. Mark my words!

Just wanted to say: Wren is the person who got me into Brandon Sanderson's books. Years ago, he recommended The Way of Kings on a Corridor Digital YouTube video, and I, having never heard of Sanderson before, decided to give it a go. Almost have all of Sanderson's Cosmere now, hardback, paperback, and ebook. Thanks, Wren.

I remember seeing wren wearing a cosmere shirt in one of their videos while reading the books. It was the first time I realized how large the Fandom is lol.

The greatest crossover event of the year

I like the paradoxical answer to causality in Off to be the Wizard. Which goes something like: "No, you can't go back in time and fix this thing. Because here we are, and you didn't"

Brandon with the internet's favorite good boy? Yes please!

Brandon's use of portals in the finale of Wheel of Time is one of my favorite moments in any book. I think about that portal savant all the time.

Feruchemy has always struck me as one of the most actually useful abilities, in part because it’s actually a bunch of abilities rolled into one. Sure none of them are the most powerful version of that ability, but I don’t need anything extreme in my day to day life. Just the simple things like never feeling too hot or too cold, being able to fall asleep whenever I want to, being able to suddenly make my sense of hearing really strong when I’m trying to find a vibrating phone, etc. Allomancy is more fun though

I LOVE how Sanderson's mind work. As soon as he said "Gambit" I thought: oh, man, I can think of so many ways to better use his powers than just small bombs. And the he goes as says the same thing 😂

Wren you're just hitting ALL the right notes here, and this is my 3rd comment on this video. Teleportation is my #1 super power, and it is also specifically because of Jumper. From that day forward, all the little daydreams we all have of that super power we want, and how the nuances of it worked, became about that style of teleportation. This episode was a real treat, thanks guys <3

I am stealing that teleport power idea for my book! I am not sorry. Love you guys ^^

Ayyy Wren! Livin the fan dream.
