Star Wars movies? Yes probably. But not every piece of content is geared towards kids. With Clone Wars they stopped trying to appeal for kids and instead just went on to tell a good story. The story has now ended up being people's favorite piece of Star Wars content.
It's not that the content didn't grow up. It's essentially just that rhey are forcibly keeping the content back from evolving to something good or even better.

That's the problem with having infinite money you can throw on CGI (albeit it still looks shit), but then you choose to skimp out on actually good writers. It just ends up becoming this supremely generic CGI clusterfuck.
Meanwhile HBO chooses to put the budget required for the stuff that needs the high budget, but has way more focus on high quality, well written shows. With the budget Disney+ puts into one show, HBO can make 5-6 well written shows and they can all be critically acclaimed.
It's not just saturation of content, it's oversaturation of how similar they are. They are also way too focused on pleasing all these minorities and pointing fingers at "hey, I bet you've never seen a lesbian character portrayed in a big budget show, or a Bi character, or a muslim character, or a indian etc", the list goes on and on. Don't try to please every type of audience, that's just gonna set you up to fail, concentrate on making good content, and either while it airs or in the long run, the seeds you sow will grow.
I know for sure I don't have any desire to rewatch any of the Disney+ shows. But with other shows I have gone back and watched so many scenes and whole episodes because I just wanna relive the moment.

The show gripped me with the cinematography and aesthetics. And I really wanted to keep going. But the amount of times I was bored out of my mind was kinda nuts. Which is a shame because the concept and the technical aspects of the show are great, as well as the acting and the production design. I also want to know what this crazy finale is all about.

Fuck yeah. Jack is not the only one in Rapture. Focus on the other aspects and characters. Make the actual lore and world the character.

This is it. The Last of Us the game for me was an interactive movie. So the idea of it being televised wasn't something I was super hype about. But I stand corrected with how good the first episode was.
But do what they did with Arcane. Take the characters from the game and give them stories, flesh them out, make us understand how they came to be in the place they are in the game. Arcane stands as the best video game adaptation of all time, but it's not really a adaptation, it has just taken the world and characters and made it it's own thing. Which is what I wish for every other adaptation to do.

I guess the only adaptation they've ever done is Max Payne with Mark Wahlberg. And since nobody here really remembers it, makes sense why they haven't done anymore adaptations.

Wrong show, what you're referring to is Justified. Another show starring Timothy Olyphant.

Falcon and The Winter Soldier had way more glaring issues than just the pandemic. The villain was fucking horrendous. She goes around murders people, then in the end she gets praised as some kind of hero by Sam in the most preaching speech shit I've ever heard.
