this story doesn't need adult characters) and basically serves teenage audience with teenage love agnst, funny quips and cool fights.
But the Scoobies are adult characters. They're approaching their mid-twenties.
The "humans versus super-humans" aspect just seems silly to me. The Slayers can't be a different race because they are all female; they either breed with human males, and there is nothing to suggest that the offspring of such unions will necessarily be Slayers, or they die out. The only real impact they will have on humanity as a whole will be on the Women's Tennis circuit and Track & Field events at the Olympics. Basically, if you're not a Slayer there's no point in even turning up. But it's hardly a threat to the Earth.
