going on pinterest and specifically searching for “sherlock holmes 2009” or “granada holmes” and still seeing bbc sherlock pop up everywhere must be some sort of human rights violation. your honor that is not sherlock holmes that is an edgy twink who thinks being a sociopath consists of being not very nice to people some of the time

Which adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is the most queer?

*not including House M.D. because it's not really an adaptation, or any overtly queer pastiches like My Dearest Holmes or The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity because that's not really a fair contest

Which version of this do you prefer?

Note: There have been....A Lot of versions of Sherlock Holmes. Like a LOT. Obviously this is only a fraction of the possible adaptations and retellings that are out there. A second part with further versions will be published at some point in the future.

Further notes:

Apparently Sherlock Holmes may be the most prolifically portrayed character in film ever? So like I really do want to emphasize. There's WAY more versions I could and will put on a poll.

Also some of these are somewhat loosely grouped/are presented together despite slight continuity breaks. Like, the Rathbone films were overseen by two different companies (20th Century Fox, then Universal, though Universal did almost all of them) but they're definitely a series with each other because they're configured around him and his version of Holmes.

Peter Cushing also portrayed Holmes in a 1968 series, but for this poll I've just included his Hound of the Baskervilles film.

Also, not all of these are adapting specific Holmes stories directly. I am counting adapting the characters as enough to count for this poll.

It's the original novel version of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution that's on this poll. A film adaptation was made, and may go on a later poll. I might do a separate poll comparing just those two against each other at some point, as well.

RDJ talked about Sherlock Holmes at SBIFF:

“...we have to get it right. You know? I am in pretty good fight shape, I don't know if you want to see Sherlock with his shirt off in his 59 years old but I will do it for you”

Yes of coz we all want to see it, just make the third one already, I am begging you please 😭😭
