Does this mean that RDJ looks frail to you? For that matter, Cumberbatch also looks pretty robust to me? Unless being unbelievably white skinned translates to you automatically as looking unhealthy?

Well, but I am even more pale naturally than him and I am in the bloom of health and looking pretty robust if I do say so myself... Also, a lot of terribly white-skinned British people would be happy to disabuse you of this idea that totally white skin = being weak or in poor health or whatever the opposite of robust may be? :D

Also, the Holmes canon has been trampled all over for centuries and THIS (substance abuse while working cases) is what you take exception to? This does not a secret make: like most human beings, you have lots of personal, highly subjective opinions that others may or may not agree with. Full stop. Deal with it. Instead of trying to justify it with hardly tenable arguments that can be made to look unbalanced so easily.

Watch and learn: "I find Cumberbatch's portrayal of Holmes in the 'Sherlock' TV show to be an insult to the original character".

Done. Agree with me or not, I don't really care, I am just fine with you or the majority of the TV viewing public holding an opposite view, in fact. Seriously, what's the point of people all having exactly the same opinions? We're human beings, not robots. Just don't try proselytizing, especially not using such untenable arguments.

For instance, see what my arguments for the above could be:
"Holmes never behaves like such an unbearable twit in canon. Sherlock Holmes defining characteristic was how surprisingly kind he was to people in need. It's the rich and the aristocrats he often had no time or respect for, according to his biographer Watson."

Such arguments may justify my opinions about Cumberbatch's version of Holmes to myself, but I highly doubt any fans of the 'Sherlock' series would be impressed and call them justified. That is not a secret, it's a subjective opinion. See?
