You misunderstood my post.
When I listened you examples of fiction I am ( edit) talking about, you said that fiction belongs in the category of “young-ish”
For this category to exist, it means that it is the most popular/tailored to very specific category of people. That also means that adults would not find this type of fiction appealing. Otherwise it would be just adult fiction.
My kids now at the age when they cooled down/outdrew storytelling, drama, dialogues and characters that are typical for adult-is fiction. The same happened to me many many years ago.

This is international sub. Just because in your country you think those are words that had to be used this way doesn’t mean it everyone else is using it the same. But sure I can correct my original statement
“A lot of modern adaptations are based on books written for adult-ish people”
The point is still the same just replace “young adult fantasies” with more accurate description you suggested

I said a lot not all. You listed exceptions ignoring numerous young adult fantasies adaptations like Shadow and bone , Discovery of witches, The Magicians, Irregulars, this is only a tiny sample.

A lot of modern fantasies are based on young adult fiction. And while those are popular with young adults there is the reason why this category is separate from just regular ( adult) fiction.
(I don’t want to offend any young readers who are very passionate about young adult fantasy novels. I was young adult at some point too and I loved this type of books myself)

This should have been separate decision not something forced upon fans by one country.

I didn’t know about the video game till I saw previews and I was told it was based on video game.
I am exited for the show because of cast and because it is set in apocalyptic world ( is it??? I am not 100 percent sure, but I liked previews)
