idk the people who do complain either complain about both, or neither.

Another point is that Irene Adler isn't some sex symbol or Holmes' love interest, but that's almost always what she is portrayed as, whereas Moriarty is a villain, and is always portrayed as a villain. No misrepresentation there. I admit the prevalence of Adler+Moriarty's characters in adaptations is annoying and overdone, but I don't believe it has anything to do with Adler being a woman.

Anyway, do people complain about Granada!Adler? I've only watched a few episodes, the one with Adler being one of them, and I thought they portrayed her quite faithfully to the canon.

[tweedisgood]

I think OP included her just to illustrate media Irenes as a group, because as you say Granada only used her once and in accordance with the story.

I do believe you've hit the nail of truth on the head.

[elephantinegrace]

This is pretty clever, actually. I wouldn't have thought of it like that.

[(Anonymous)]

oh, I think it is about her being a women.
Adler is active, emancipated and bested Holmes- but not a danger, because she's trustworthy. But Holmes (probably platonic) respect for that is always shoved away to make her a (often passive) love interest, or even a minor villian.

Moriarty was less of an active character, he was a plot device to kill Holmes and make some commentary. he stood for a creeping, new organisation of crime- but he's interpreted as an active arch enemy.

[fenm]

I agree, but that's an issue of how they're portrayed in adaptations, not a matter of how fans react to those portrayals.
