I’m sure it’ll have the “not like the other girls” protagonist who is smoking hot and doesn’t know it, but will it also retain the cringey dialogue and cliché teenage love triangle of the book? Those are the most important elements of that literary slopfest. It could truly become the next Marvel franchise.
This is an odd card to play here because the protagonist only comes to value her appearance by seeing it through the lens of the male gaze. Ursula LeGuin or Becky Chambers would be far better places to look in that respect.
she sacrifices herself to kill the last living god in their world.
I don’t think she ever really does value her appearance like you assume. At most she realizes there’s more to life than survival, whether it’s because of her beau or not. He’s just one aspect she finds in life to make it worth living.
Then it’s a good thing you don’t have to play it if the game ever comes out, huh? And believe it or not but you also don’t need to be an asshole about other people enjoying something. There are a lot of objective downsides to AI, but an IP you don’t like is just something for you to ignore. The horror.

God forbid teenage girls have someone they can look up to in Fantasy in SciFi! Oh, the horror!

This is an odd card to play because she also murders a lot of people and mentally dominates an entire race.
I think, compared to these absolute crimes against humanity, that her journey to self-actualization seems an odd nit to pick.
I don’t remember the appearance of either Vin or Spensa being in any way an important or even relevant piece of the stories.
The entirety of the focus was on what the girls were doing, not how they looked.
Plenty of people love Sanderson and Mistborn, no need to yuck somebody else’s yum.
Lots of people love AI too, but that doesn’t make Midjourney an artist. Liking the taste of slop doesn’t make it not slop.
