tbh sherlock doesn't appeal to me as a character at all. Kills my suspension of disbelief. I prefer adaptations that make him fallible.

[(Anonymous)]

He is fallible

Just not in the shippy, sexy, or woobie way that fandom likes

[(Anonymous)]

Must be nice to be able to completely dismiss someone's opinion like that before even hearing it.

[(Anonymous)]

NA

Nah, I kind of agree with the AYRT. Sherlock is fallible, but he's definitely not arriving in fandom on a ready-to-ship or ready-to-woobify silver platter, so fandom often changes him to be that way, which I imagine is irritating to people who enjoy the character as-is.

[(Anonymous)]

But he's fallible in canon as well. Irene Adler is maybe his most memorable defeat, but he was also incorrect in "The Adventure of the Yellow Face" and at the end of it, there's this quote:

"Watson, if it should ever strike you that I am getting a little overconfident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper 'Norbuary' in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you."

[(Anonymous)]

Full disclosure, I only ever read one of the short stories a long, long time ago because I found the character insufferable.

[(Anonymous)]

... oh. That's a pretty big judgement to make based off a single story, but different strokes, I guess. I suspect if you actually read more of the stories, you'd get a more complete picture of Sherlock Holmes as a character.

lol

/all the facepalms

[(Anonymous)]

You're free to dislike what you dislike, of course, but I don't think you're very well equipped to tell how fallible or infallible the adaptations are making him since you don't know much about the character, period.

Christie nicked Poirot's "chocolate box" from Doyle? Heh. Cool.

[(Anonymous)]

Christie nicked quite a lot from Doyle, tbh. Hastings is just Jam!Watson.*

awwww the solution to that one was just so cute and good and nice...

[(Anonymous)]

Nuts to your suspension of disbelief.

You haven't actually read of the ACD stories, have you?
