Just because certain franchises emphasize one part of his character more than others doesn't make him OOC in those franchises, IMO. I for one was glad to see a greater emphasis on Holmes's physicality in the Downey films.

That was nice since you don't see many references to Holmes' skill at bare-knuckle boxing and martial arts, but I'm not sure I felt it was a good trade-off because it sacrificed just about everything else. Holmes wasn't a mischievous smartaleck and womanizer, and Downey's version is far more eccentric than ACD's Holmes.

I didn't say the movie was bad. I was actually questioning the validity of all adaptations and saying, "Who the fuck care how much like the book they are? That's why this is an adaptation, not the actual canon." So I really feel people should do whatever they want.
