You're forgetting JDG and Jude Law but OP I forgive you because this is so accurate it hurts
Most actors: I think mine and *insert other celebrities name* characters are just really good very platonic completely straight friends
Oscar Isaac and Michael Sheen: THEY ARE GAY. GAYER THAN THE FUCKING PRIDE PARADE. WANNA HEAR ABOUT THIS FICTIONAL CHARACTER' SEX LIFE? NO? TO BAD. THE TEA IS, THEY LIKE IT IN THE ASS SO MUCH!!! BECAUSE THEY GAY. MY OPINION ON THE MOVIE/EPISODE? COULD BE GAYER. HOW DO I PREPARE MYSELF TO GET INSIDE THE CHARACTER'S MIND? I JUST LISTEN TO "I'LL SURVIVE" ON REPLAY FOR SEVEN HOURS WHILE READING FLUFFY/SMUTTY FANFICTION ABOUT SAID CHARACTER

Watson Top 5
So I talked about making a top 5 of the best Watsons in my opinion (and clearly my favorites) a few days ago. I barely do it today because again my horrible class attacked and honestly doing this is more fun, so let's get started.
WARNING: A LOT OF TEXT BC I DONT KNOW HOW TO SHUP UP
Special mentions:
THE ONLY REASON WHY LUCY LIU AS JOAN WATSON IS NOT IN THE TOP 1 dominating everyone is because I still don't see elementary. Yes, is embarrassing, but I googled it and 7 seasons looks scary and heavy (I'm bad at seeing very long things, like my god if you only knew how long it took to see jojos or merlin) but soon I will see it and you mates will have to put up with my fangirl screams because it is written in the stars that I am going to fall in love with Joan. Another special mention goes to Jane Watson from My Dear Beloved Detective and god is INCREDIBLE, I LOVE HER, honestly what doesn't have this girl? undoubtedly one of the best Watsons who have touched this earth.
Have you noticed that the mentions are only the Watsons genderbender? It is because I would like to dedicate an exclusive post to them. It is curious (from what I have seen) how it seems that the creators can more easily balance the personality of the character when is a woman (the matter of the masculinity in Watson can be a thesis) but before saying more, I have to see all the adaptations where the female versions appear.
From here there is no one so relevant, I like Watson from Without a Clue bc is a comedy that makes me laugh a lot jsjsjs, I like Dwason, the Watson of Frowares dont look so bad and there are also others but nothing special, so now we go with the top wuuu.
5. Sherlock.
If I declared that this post was influenced by my personal taste, it was especially because of this. I was a great fan of the bbc series, now that I grew up I became familiar with concepts like queerbaiting, ableism, etc. The relationship I have with the series now is complicated, but even so I think that the interpretation of Freeman (let's ignore the existence of season 4 and still, he did quite well with what they gave to him) has some merits. Humor, moments of crisis, expressions, loyalty, dedication, etc. He's a screwed up Watson but interesting in his own way. (And if you like that kind of angst- bad things that give you a chance to fix it, this is ideal for that).
Tumblr media
4. Ritchiverse.
Speaking of somewhat unstable boys, I must say that I feel this is one of the Watsons who knew better how to translate what we saw in the books about his character and to exploit certain sometimes ignored traits (Watson's impulsiveness and recklessness); On screen you understand without much trouble that Watson has a military past, that he has physical injuries that still affect his day to day, but that he does not feel incapable of getting into crazy adventures nor is he going to allow the people to treat him in that way, which is a doctor and a good one, his romance with Mary is one of the best, etc. They really paid attention to doing this boy, in addition to the small but great detail that Law is basically a drawing of Sidney brought to life (and my God he has a lot of Doyle too, which only gives him extra points).
Tumblr media
3. Granada (the serie, not the fruit).
Yesterday I received divine illumination; us we know it (the change of actors) but in the universe of Granada that never happened, they are a single Watson and I love that idea! So the two David and Edward, what can I say that has not already been said? They are the perfect reflection of Watson's character in two very different stages of his life (pre and post Reichenbach), they have the charisma, the sassy side -sarcastic, compassion, loyalty, courage and determination, calm and wisdom and yyyy, oh, I love them a lot and basically they raised the status of doctor uwu a lot but they are in third place.
Tumblr media
2. The adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson (better known as soviet or russia holmes eh)
One of the few adaptations where there are hugs, tears, affectionate cuddles, etc. Solomin has one of the most entertaining interpretations of the character, there is no scene that I saw, where I would not think "yes, here is an incredible Watson," this Watson is great with his episode full of suspicions towards Holmes, his expression when he discovers that the detective is not interested in knowing If we revolve around the sun. It achieve what for me is the best adaptation of HOUND and that says a lot about this Watson bc HOUND is the BOOK OF THE DOCTOR. You have a smart boy in his way, with his own strengths and weaknesses and he feels human, believable and adorable. They allowed him to have a complete heart and that is why he is the best of the best and he would be if only the position 1 does not exist.
Tumblr media
1. Sherlock Holmes 2013. (THIS IS NOT CALLED NEW RUSSIAN HOLMES?)
If you are a fan of Watson, he is here, in this serie, the military guy, the doctor, the healer, the amazing human be, the writer, he is the dream version that was executed to perfection. The greatest success? fuck the canon, and even then, I don't think there is another Watson that feels so real as ironic as it may sound. They really worked hard to give a coherence, a sense and a total meaning to Watson's actions, they explore well the reasons of all those failures and the development that the character has is wuah, I really don't know what word use that encompass everything, maybe satisfactory? Because everything feels good here with Andrei Panin and even so it feels like something else is missing in my description maybe you have to see it to understand it.

In my long experience reading Sherlock Holmes fanfictions I will always love that in most works there is a beautiful moment of
Holmes: * complaining of some nonsense *
Watson: Say that again and I'll leave you alone.
Holmes: You wouldn't dare
Watson: Try me bitch

sherlock holmes fandom (any mix of adaptations) for the blorbo ask? :)
blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): The universe does not matter, my brain is the same of Holmes but without the intelligent and deductive thing, that is, full of data from my hyperfixations and only John H. Watson, I neeeed a doctor ohhhhh
scrunkly ( character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): let's eliminate the baby, now Mrs Hudson born to be this, you know? Im talking about the woman of BBC, Granada and Soviet and even NHR, LIKE IS HER SPIRIT.
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): BASICALLY EVERYTHING ELEMENTARY THE SERIE.
THAT OK OK I'M STILL IN SEASON ONE BUT IT'S FUCKING GREAT, WHY THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS?!?!?!? THIS SHERLOCK HOLMES IS GREAT, alsooo my babe Ronald Howard as Holmes, is fucking great.
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): Mary Morstan, Mary Morstan, Mary Morstan, most in ritchiverse but its valid for canon and other adaptations.
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): Sherlock Holmes, no unpopular, not controversial but is pathetic and I love it -gesticules-, also Lestrade has a bit of this spirit isnt?
horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): IF YOU ARE MY FAV, YOU ARE FUCKED -I wrote traumas for watsolmes- also Moran
eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): THE MOST OF THE VILLAINS IN LIKE ANY ADAPTATION BUT MILVERTON IN GRANADA AND IN THE OLD RUSSIAN ONE AND EVEN IN BBC, IN EVERY ADAPTATION IS LIKE: YOU ***************************** and that. I dont what I said, but I said it, sorry.
