...is this picture meant to be of sam and dean, brothers? because....sam and dean shippers probably got the last scene they wanted and expected (maybe not all of the sam stuff in between dean's death...but definitely the last scene). Cas and Dean tho...yeah that one might have run away with them a bit.

I don't think sherlock is very bro-y (it's mid bro-y with mild deviations in how to dude that is immediately balanced with a type of masculinity that didn't need to be there except to go no homo), but I do think Moffat is trolly, so i do think there were missed signs of who exactly was writing this show.

Let’s be honest. The only shippers who really got what they wanted out of the finale were the Dean/Impala shippers. Everyone else had to make do.

[meadowphoenix]

Dean just driving around in the impala his whole death was definitely satisfying for dean/impala shippers, you're right about that!

I think of Sherlock as bro-y for the "I'm so clever" British set, if that makes sense.

[(Anonymous)]

This. It’s a bro-y show for a different set of bro-y people.

[meadowphoenix]

I think of the books that way yes, and both versions of Watson that way, but Sherlock himself doesn't feel like the same as in the books. Is that the difference in time periods you think?

[(Anonymous)]

Late reply, but I think it's less difference in time periods and more that the Sherlock in the show was unfortunately often an avatar for the writers' considerable egos.

[(Anonymous)]

It's definitively bro-y for a certain demographic of British men, our bro culture isn't quite the same as the US and things like Sherlock and James Bond are 100% idealized male power fantasies. Not that we don't have a more 'macho' masculinity demo over here, but even that doesn't present itself the same as it does in the US.

[meadowphoenix]

so...I was actually comparing it to the books. In that I think show!Watson and book!Watson are equally bro-y. But that book!Sherlock does that ideal superior british dude thing in a way show!Sherlock doesn't? like show!Sherlock seems odder in-universe? But is that like the difference in era?

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like, to the extent that BBC!Sherlock and James Bond represent male power fantasies, they represent incredibly different ones. And I think it's really stretching the meaning of the term "bro" to describe BBC!Sherlock that way.

[(Anonymous)]

If you only want "bro" to mean, like, beer-guzzling sports-watching red-blooded masculine people, then no. But "bro" can just refer to "basic male taste", in which case UK!anon above is spot on.
