'Lockwood & Co." on Netflix is a good example of this idea. Only a small number of teens can fight the baddies.

'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' assumes that the Slayer won't make it past 25...

Can't think of that many more.

I was thinking about this a while ago. Back in the day, there were a lot of middle-aged superheroes. Dr. Strange, Col. Nick Fury, Reed Richards, Professor X, and The Chief of the Doom Patrol were all over 40.

Lockwood and Co has a show now??? Is it true to the books?

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never read the books. I liked the show, and look forward to the next season.

If you like English fantasy novels, look up Tanith Lee. 'Night's Master' is a good place to start.

The books were solid when I was in 7th grade. No idea how they transfer to adulthood
