Sherlock Holmes 3

(Part 1 of ?)

I need Sherlock Holmes 3 to open with a setup of Watson seeing Holmes in increasingly ridiculous disguises everywhere he goes in town and thinking "I've finally snapped, I'm losing it. this is it. Mary your husband is insane."

Then when he figures out it actually is Holmes, he immediately throws hands. They start it, but Mary finishes it. She gets over the initial shock quickly because they're making a scene, and by heaven, she's not gonna stand for that. She basically drags them home by the ears, kids in tow, and sits everyone down at the breakfast table like nothing ever happened, but like

Watson is glaring. he has a black eye. Holmes is eating nonchalantly with a split lip and a ripped shirt like "can you pass the jam" and the kids just. hand it to him. Mary pours tea. the kids look at Watson. he doesn't move. is he catatonic? Mary butters the kids' toast, asks them how school was yesterday, did the teache--

"YOU ALWAYS DO THIS TO ME--"

"John, please don't raise your voice in front of the children."

"An excellent rule, madam. If I may add--"

"You were DEAD, I SAW IT, I told tHE CHILDREN you were DEAD"

I'm nearly the last person to argue that RDJ!Holmes is a very faithful adaption (even though it's still more faithful than BBC and I won't argue on that either) but no other adaption was ever closer to portraying this sentence:

"I'm lost without my Boswell."

It's made very clear that Holmes is desperate to live with Watson and that he might go mad without him. We see a lot of Watsons depending on Holmes but not many Holmes' depending on Watsons.

The adaption was also very good in showing the pain of Reichenbach Falls (even if only for a few seconds).

That scene really hurt. Especially after Moriarty reminds Holmes that he will find a painful end for Watson.

It's these two things that make this adaption still fairly dear to me, even if it lacks in many other regards. An adapation does a lot of things right as long as the relationship between Holmes and Watson is depicted as deep and loving.

you know that comic with the birds? “Do you think we’re best friends in other universes too”? I think about that but with all the different Holmes & Watsons

Sherlock Holmes 3

(part 3 of ?)

"Very well, then."

Holmes' light tone causes Watson's smirk to slip. He can't shake the feeling: he done messed up.

Then, Holmes steps up on Watson's writing desk and tumbles out of the open window.

Watson swears under his breath at the dramatics, but doesn't look to see what's become of him. No, no. He's not looking. That's what Holmes wants him to do, the theatrical bastard. He stews in his chair and folds his arms. He crosses his legs. Five seconds pass. Then ten.

He violently jumps out of his chair and sticks his head out the window.

Below, two stories down, is a horse-drawn cart full of piled hay. Across the street, Holmes is brushing off his lapels, and wafting bits of hay float behind him in a trail. He strides off with purpose and speed.

Watson shuts the window. Then he growls and reaches for his coat.

i really liked how in glass onion they included in Blanc & his bf Hugh Grant a mirror to the holmes/watson relationship, which in the modern day is IMMEDIATELY irrefutably read as gay, to take a huge dig at the homophobic Doyle relatives who have been doggedly refusing that fact for like 100 years lmfao

[assiraphales]

can’t stop thinking about how before holmes drags moriarty over the cliff, holmes stares at his doctor, closes his eyes, and keeps them closed for the entire fall bc if he dies, he wants watson to be the last thing he ever sees
