On the one hand, this headcanon is very sweet and cute.

On the other hand... hahaha lol :'D I canT??? I'm literally laughing aloud and I don't even know why?? there is nothing funny about being shot in the head.

Still, yeah. Awesome explanation. Me, I'm a fan of the franchise and have seen all the more or less popular adaptations, but this I couldn't get through. The very first episode induced in me a fit of such secondhand embarrassment that I quit. Coming from somebody who watched Sherlock the film without batting an eye, this must surely mean something. [though I absolutely do not mean to argue with the fans of Bruce-Rathbone. Different strokes for different folks]

[(Anonymous)]

Technically, they're not episodes, they're films that were shown in theaters that came in a long series of sequels with loose continuity, as was a common practice for films in the '40s. Kinda like the "Road to..." movies.

[dreemyweird]

Point taken; poor wording.

Entirely different Anon here:

"somebody who watched Sherlock the film without batting an eye"

OK... How did you do that? Seriously? I'm kind of desperate to know.

[dreemyweird]

Eye drops help

[hell, I totally wrote a detailed and serious answer before realizing it was probably a pun... Slow dmw is slow. But I laughed :D]

[(Anonymous)]

...

It wasn't a pun.

But... at least you've laughed?

Let me join you, my friend.

Seriously? Hm, the fact that none of the characters were made to look like idiots on purpose is helpful. I learnt to enjoy unintentional hilariousness; there is something true and fresh in it, something that makes the most unbelievable cinematographic trash look better than the well-shot high-budget films with bad characterization.
Films such as Sherlock and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes (I... actually like this one) easily go beyond the upper limit of "bad" and enter the "so bad it's good" zone. The Rathbone-Bruce production, on the contrary, is excellent in so many regards that a few significant blunders can ruin it altogether.

Sherlock, though? ...We both know nothing can ruin it.

Also, isn't the red-haired chubby inventor!Watson adorable?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, this Watson is adorable, he's the reason I watch this movie everytime it's on TV (fortunately it doesn't happen that often), and every time I end up getting more and more annoyed with Mycroft and Moriarty. And I tried to not watch... but apparently I like this Watson too much. (The last time this movie was mentioned here, an Anon (not me) called him a "geeky steampunk fan at a convention". I just... adore this guy.)

The next time I see this movie in the TV-schedule, I will try your approach. It makes sense.

And thank you!

[(Anonymous)]

That's sad and sweet. I might have to steal this headcanon, OP.

D:

[(Anonymous)]

WHY???????? Do you know how much mockery and joking of mine you've just ruined?? *shakes fist*

I'm actually fine with wild variations in characters' personalities in different adaptations -- I didn't like Bruce!Watson not so much because he was unlike canon!Watson, but more because he caused the pop-culture image of Watson as a moron. But I also didn't like it because I couldn't imagine why Holmes would ever hang out with someone that dumb. This actually explains Holmes' behavior in those films too, not just Watson's, and makes the whole thing a lot less mean-spirited.

[intrigueing]

Why would you even post such a thing? Are you being mean on purpose? :( :( :(

Well, damn, you just ruined Kate Beacon's comic for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Now jam!Watson is going to make me cry. Maybe old!Watson is just a hallucination Holmes is talking to.

Re: Well, damn, you just ruined Kate Beacon's comic for me.

[dreemyweird]

Thank you, dear anon. Now it's ruined for me, too.

The moment when an owl was sitting nearby Watson, who was digging a hole with his head down.
Watson thought Holmes was there so he told a story to him
- Hoo, - says the owl
- Miss Smith, of course
- Hoo, - says the owl
- What do you mean, who, Holmes? Miss Smith! So...
- Hoo
- I just told you! - than Watson looks around. - Hm...

It was funnier on a screen, of course)
