Can anyone who knows Uglies explain what the hell changed that just 10 years ago it was considered great and groundbreaking and now I see nothing but people saying that it's dumb and uninspired and has no point or meaning?

#uglies #uglies series #actually tagging it because im genuinely curious i seriously do not get it #like ????? what #i havent read the books nor have i seen the movie btw. treat me like a 5 years old who has just stumbled upon the most incomprehensible #discourse #like from my position the premise seems pretty good so i dont really see why everyone is hating on it but perhaps the execution sucks?#which i wouldnt know because. again. i dont know anything.#all i know is that its a book series and a movie adaptation about the beauty industry and photoshop that poses the question #'what if instagram filters were real and mandatory because instagram baddies ruled the world and made everyone think they were #ugly and hideous and needed to be retouched to look sexy and hot and slay and if you werent sexy you lost your human rights'#which to me actually sounds great because i despise filters and retouching and beauty standards and i hope instagram burns in hell
