Re: Character adaptations that you hate

(Anonymous) 2020-05-29 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen the Granada version in ages and don't remember it, but what bugs me about all other adaptations I know of is the insistence on creating a relationship, or even just a mutual attraction, where there is none in the original story. Holmes might brood over having failed to do what he set out to do, but there's never any indication that Irene is into Holmes at all. He's just a guy in her way.

That's what's cool about Irene Adler is the way she side-steps Holmes and keeps going, barely breaking her stride.

(Then she leaves and is never mentioned again for the whole rest of the canon - A Scandal in Bohemia was only the third Sherlock Holmes story ever.)

I know Holmes/Irene is as old as dirt, though, so *sigh.*
