Recommendations for series with rebellion (lemm.ee)

Looking for recommendations for series with rebellion as a main focus. I want a MC that tells the elder council, noble assembly, ancient wizard circle, whatever high and mighty force to go to hell with their suggestions and orders. I liked the Embers of illeniel series where the MC decided to burn the whole world when he got the power to do it. I like the immortal great souls series where all authority is rightly viewed with suspicion. What else do you fine connoisseurs have for me?

The Powder Mage series is based on the French revolution but goes totally bonkers after that. The Mystborn series is pretty good as well.

I am well familiar with Mr Dresden. Should also add sandman slim and he who fights with monsters.

Haven't touched mistborn since era 2 and I'm sitting on my audible copy of winds of truth. Just not feeling it right now though. I need more gods getting told to stuff their plans wherever they happen to piss fromn

Well sounds like Powder Mage is perfect.

A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians by H.G. Parry it's pretty interesting. It's basically both the French and the Haitian revolution told through the parallel of magicians.
