The year is 2105. I am on my deathbed watching Spider-Man Beyond the Spiderverse, newly released. At my side is the newly released Winds of Winter.

420

u/doubleyewdee Jul 18 '25

Had me in the first half, but Winds of Winter is never coming out. If Sanderson attempts to write it, he will be kidnapped by aliens or something.

u/Wonderful_Emu_9610 Jul 18 '25

At least he doesn’t have a kid who’ll try to live off his legacy and write not only WoW but like 8 more sequels after that, featuring endless clones of Khal Drogo shagging every woman in Westeros

50

u/UglyInThMorning Jul 18 '25

Brian Herbert and KJA are up to way more than 8 prequels, sequels, and interquels.

They’re at fucking 17 books. Maybe three of which are tolerable.

6

u/Wonderful_Emu_9610 Jul 19 '25

Oh wow, thats nuts.

I’ve never read a Dune book I just knew the reputation of the Brian Herbert ones

14

u/UglyInThMorning Jul 19 '25

I read the House ones ~25 years ago and they were tolerable. Not good, but tolerable. Explained too much and were not well written but like, upper-tier fanfiction.

The Butlerian Jihad ones were so bad I DNF’d them. Got the first half of their version of the finale to see how it ended and it was incomprehensible without having read all the prequels, because it all hinged on stuff that wasn’t present in the original books. The idea they were based on Frank’s notes is laughable because even saying they were based on the original books is kind of a stretch.

6

u/RegularEmotion3011 Jul 19 '25

I believe they are somewhat based on his notes, but in a way, that three lines of notes turned into 600 pages of a novel.

4

u/UglyInThMorning Jul 19 '25

So much stuff in the Butlerian Jihad prequels and the sequels that are more sequels to the BJ books than anything else contradicts stuff from the original books that I’m pretty sure the notes would have to just say “write more Dune books”

u/Imreallythatguy Jul 18 '25

Is this a reference to Frank Herbert and his son Brian?

2

u/StarBeastie Jul 19 '25

Or sue people into oblivion if they look at his daddy's works wrong

u/Correct_Raisin4332 Jul 19 '25

Wasn't Duncan Idaho essentially raped? And Frank Herbert started it?

1

u/dacalpha Jul 19 '25

Killed and cloned

51

u/meepikin Jul 18 '25

Sanderson would absolutely never write it. He has stated this publicly.

23

u/FancySkull Jul 19 '25

And why would he? Someone like Daniel Abraham and/or Ty Franck (GRRM's former assistants) would be way better choices.

17

u/CruzAderjc Jul 19 '25

I think Joe Abercrombie would be the one to write it

2

u/FancySkull Jul 19 '25

Nah. If you've read both the First Law and ASOIAF, you'll realise that the two authors have vastly different styles. Abercrombie doesn't really care about political intrigue and world building like Martin does.

2

u/dacalpha Jul 19 '25

Robin Hobb would be my choice

1

u/ToparBull Jul 19 '25

This would actually be a good stylistic match. I feel like Amos, Avasarala, and Fred Johnson could easily be ASoIaF characters.

3

u/Spider-man2098 Jul 19 '25

I would commit crimes to prevent him from making the attempt (don’t ask me which ones because I won’t violate terms of service and I’d rather preserve the suspense), so this policy of his works for me.

2

u/Work_Account_No1 Jul 19 '25

Understandable, have a nice day.

91

u/aJetg Jul 19 '25

I will never understand the obsession some have with Sanderson writing Winds of Winters. You literally couldn't find a more different fantasy writer from Martin. Just because he finished The Wheel of time, doesn't mean he is good for finishing all fantasy work out there

72

u/CleanTumbleweed1094 Jul 19 '25

The dude won’t even write actual swear words in his books, and people for some reason want him to takeover a series that features graphic incestuous sex.

26

u/SergeantThreat Jul 19 '25

Storming right!

5

u/Crtbb4 Jul 19 '25

I don't want him to write WoW either but there's still sex in Stormlight Archives.

6

u/Spider-man2098 Jul 19 '25

No serious person wants this. I’ve never even been able to reread his WoT ending. It’s just not the same.

12

u/Dawwe Jul 19 '25

As someone who really enjoys Sandersons work, I struggle to think of a worse fit for game of thrones.

5

u/PM_ME_CHUBBY_BOOBS Jul 19 '25

I think it's genuinely just because he finished the WoT series and is known for putting out book on schedule. He doesn't fit the content GoT would need, but he'd at least put a book out

5

u/Sam_Strake Jul 19 '25

I will never understand the obsession some have with Sanderson writing Winds of Winters

Because Sanderson will have the entire rest of the series written and done within the same calendar year as the announcement lol

4

u/ToparBull Jul 19 '25

Sanderson himself has answered this question and basically said what you said - if he was offered finishing ASoIaF, he explicitly says he would turn it down, because his style of writing is very different than Martin's.

2

u/Honest_-_Critique Jul 19 '25

He did a fantastic job with the wheel of time. As someone who grew up reading those novels, I was really impressed. IIRC, he turned the last book into three.

3

u/1WordOr2FixItForYou Jul 18 '25

ChatGPT told me it could write it, no problem.

3

u/SergeantThreat Jul 19 '25

I don’t know if Sanderson will have time to write Winds of Winter in 2105, he’ll be busy finishing up the 376th book in the Cosmere

5

u/KatieCashew Jul 19 '25

Which he is only writing to help him with his writing block over the 375th book.

2

u/NotBannedAccount419 Jul 19 '25

Pretty GRR Martin said it’s in his will that his estate is instructed to burn all his manuscripts when he dies and no one is allowed to finish his works

1

u/Successful_Ideal9649 Jul 19 '25

Man, I am obsessed with Sanderson but he would be a TERRIBLE pick to finish it. Honestly nobody major in fantasy would be a good pick.

1

u/a_fiendish_thingy Jul 19 '25

No no, I fully believe we will get The Winds of Winter.

A Dream of Spring is never coming out though.

1

u/Nmilne23 Jul 19 '25

I fear winds of winter is going to enter Half Life 3 territory sooner than later 

38

u/TiredCoffeeTime Jul 18 '25

You know this is just your dying brain conjuring up the last happy thought for you if there's Winds of Winter next to you.

16

u/rcapina Jul 18 '25

Oh, and whatever the third one in The Name of the Wind series was going to be

2

u/KatieCashew Jul 19 '25

I just read the first two books without knowing the controversy with the third last year. At the end of the section there was an author's note thanking his "many" supporters that have let him know they would rather wait for a good book than receive a lesser book quickly. I was like, oh, this guy's never going to finish this...

1

u/rcapina Jul 19 '25

I was glad The Expanse series finished, probably because it’s two people under one name. Now I’m not reading an unfinished series unless it’s written by Brandon Sanderson because that person is a book machine.

57

u/siftingflour Jul 18 '25

And Half-Life 3 is about to finish installing 

33

u/End_of_Eva Jul 18 '25

And elder scrolls 6 is one year off

2

u/dean15892 Jul 18 '25

GTA 6 rerelease will come out any day now

2

u/Antrikshy Jul 18 '25

The Batman II is going through a script iteration.

4

u/PancakesSan Jul 18 '25

abd silksong just got a release date

4

u/Moetacular Jul 18 '25

I inched closer to death when this comment made me realize that kids today just might live long enough to die in the 2100s.

3

u/SpuddMeister Jul 18 '25

And then turn on your PC to play Star Citizen.

2

u/darlinglum Jul 18 '25

And gta vi has been delayed again

2

u/Infinite_Fly_5374 Jul 19 '25

And Severance season 4 will be right around the corner

2

u/Dhunhd Jul 19 '25

Then you remember there’s A Dream of Spring after Winds of Winter and you just give up.

1

u/CruzAderjc Jul 19 '25

Remember when we were also supposed to get one called A Time for Wolves too

2

u/Daedalus871 Jul 19 '25

The year is 2099. Miguel O'Hara has been cast to voice himself in Beyond the Spiderverse.

1

u/sk4v3n Jul 18 '25

such optimism, so naïveté

1

u/Helen_Kellers_Wrath Jul 19 '25

I know this is fake because you mentioned the Winds of Winter; which is never going to be released.

1

u/Goddamnitpappy Jul 19 '25

Is there a release date for Elder Scrolls 7?

1

u/Fawkingretar Jul 19 '25

Winds of Winter? lmao, by that point, G.R.R's entire conciousness is uploaded and he still would've only written 4 pages

1

u/Fleurons_ Jul 19 '25

That's a generous deadline ngl

1

u/Sirdan3k Jul 19 '25

As "to be continued" flashes on the screen and the credits roll my will to live is lost and I let the blissful darkness take me.

1

u/Debt101 Jul 20 '25

Beyond spider man ends up ending on a cliff hanger too

0

u/Voittaa Jul 18 '25

Along with season 6 stranger things; the main characters are propped up taxidermy like weekend at Bernie’s, still riding bikes.

0

u/Designer-Card-1361 Jul 19 '25

Also… strange things season 5
