Are you taking about Uglies? I feel like you described Uglies. I liked the adaptation, but a lot of critics didn't.
I think the Netflix Avatar the last air bender checks off a good amount of that list.
I didn't have anything specific in mind, but a lot of this matches up based on the one episode I watched. There weren't any sex scenes though.
The Air Nomad genocide happens within the first ten minutes, while Aang is on a walk or something. It's billed as this super metal moment that shows you this isn't for kids. However it looks so fucking cheap and is written so badly. I just sat there rolling my eyes.
To be fair, the online discourse part also didn't match up. The show got good but not great reviews. Avatar is a lot more popular that most adaptations, especially among millennial bloggers who do these reviews. While there were the usual 9/10s, there were also a ton of reviews written by people who grew up watching the show that were just like "yeah this is disappointing in every way. I guess it's okay if you didn't watch the original show, idk you do you 5/10". Because of the diversity of the original IP, there was no culture war BS either.
Oh God, please tell me they didn't put a sex scene in a movie led by literal children?
Couldn't tell you, I only watched the first couple of episodes because it covers a bunch of the first points of the list.
Guess we'll never know
Oh the series is fine. I thought you were talking about the movie they just did.
Honestly never heard of it lol.
