DA

Yeah that's fine but neither of those characters even remotely resemble their Canon counterparts.

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously? If they had resembled their canon counterparts, we'd have had even weaker characters. Irene Adler, while not quite as stupid as Doyle's other non-Holmes characters, basically only gets away in the end not because she oh so cleverly outwits Sherlock Holmes but because Holmes waits too long to confront her, giving her the opportunity to escape.
And Mary? She is a side character, introduced as a client in need of some Holmesian rescue, marries Watson and is killed off some time after that without actually doing anything.
Fandom would have gone ballistic because of "Eww misogyny! Terrible portrayal of women! Weak female characters grrrr!".

[(Anonymous)]

And yet, it's underwhelming that instead of building on existing traits to make the characters interesting for a modern audience, they opted to just make them dangerous criminals. Both of them. Come on, that's... that's just lazy.

Spoilers I guess

[(Anonymous)]

True. It was lazy to make Mary an assassin. Especially since they only did that to further characterise John as actively and even subconsciously seeking out danger - so it really wasn't for her benefit, but for his.
