I don’t like that Mistborn TFA is being adapted as a movie instead of as a mini series

Hi all!

Just finished Book 1, no spoilers beyond that please!! What are your thoughts of this being adapted as a movie instead of as an Apple series? After reading this book I can’t help but be disappointed with that plan.

Ex.

Episode 1: Starts with Kelsier/Tresting, ends with Kelsier stealing Atium / fight with haze killers.

Episode 2: Starts with crew plotting the heist, ends with the crew finding Camon and company dead

Episode 3: Starts with Vin attending a ball and meets Elend, ends with Kelsier and Vin aftermath at Kredik Shaw

Episode 4: Starts with Vin and Sazed about the book translation and Kelsier visiting the army, ends with Skaa army being decimated.

Episode 5: Starts with the square executions, ends with Vin and Shan fight.

Episode 6: Starts with Kelsier destroying the atium crystals, ends with Kelsier’s death.

Episode 7: Starts with aftermath of Kelsier’s death, ends with Lord Ruler’s death + epilogue.

- Will the movie go PG-13 ? I would hate to see the shocking violent scenes be dumbed down

- Is the franchise known enough to be successful for mass appeal? I’m afraid this might be a “Dungeons and Dragons” situation from few years ago.

Thoughts? Just starting Book 2 and it seems to me that Era 1 would have been a great 3 season / 20 episode tv series instead.

The difference between a 2 hour, 30 minute movie and a ~ 5-6 hour series would be such a difference and a series would pace out the book so much better IMO.
