And it made me think of somethingâ Which is everyoneâs favourite Lestrade version?
I think, despite the series being one that many today judge worse than most others, the BBC Greg Lestrade is my favourite.
(and once we have discussed LestradeâI shall ask about yalls favourite Adlers, and watsonâs and others too )
I love the BBC show, so my answer will be the same for all of them . I have read one or two of the short stories, and Iâve watched the Robert Downy Jr. movies, but the show is the only version to really solidify itself in my mind. To the point that when I read the originals and when I read this IF I was picturing a vague version of the actors
I know itâs not from a show or film but this version of him haha. Iâve played pretty much all the SH games and I like his and Sherlockâs back and forth the most. Also whenever Sherlock tries to blackmail him itâs just so funny.
I have a lot of gripes with BBCâs Sherlock, but I can say that one thing they did better than the books was Lestrade. Heâs great. I adore him (and especially his dynamic with Sherlock and John!) Heâs very different from ACDâs Lestrade, but in an exponentially positive way! I have a soft spot for the âand then thereâs this guy, who is also here and relevant sort ofâ kind of characters, who arenât technically part of the more main plot or a main character, but who nonetheless have a large role and affect the story. And also are incredibly exasperated. He also may or may not be one of my favorite SH characters .
ACD ADLER<33333 She and her lawyer husband Godfrey are everything to me<3. I dislike the whole âfemme-fataleâ Adler trend with adaptations, because in the original sheâs just trying to shake off a Nice GuyTM King and get married to her husband without being found or anyone getting killed! Sheâs smart about it, yeah, but unlike Sherlock she doesnât want the attention, and doesnât find her practice as much of a life need like he does. She doesnât get âboredâ, in fact, she seems to want to live a mostly normal life. Also sheâs a retired opera singer and itâs implied that her age is not of correct marrying age, but her husband is still ride or die enough to get a 5 minute hurried wedding and pack everything up to move to another country about it, while doing a bunch of stealth âI donât want my newlywed wifeâs weird ex to see us or try to blackmail us about somethingâ around london beforehand. Powercouple<3.
The same character and voice model appears in Sherlock holmes: crimes and punishments and the devils daughter (which was slated as the animation didnât match up with the voices and the story was kinda wacky at the end )
I also liked the bbc Sherlock lestrade but I wasnât like a big fan. He had some good scenes with Sherlock Iâll give him that, but I overall felt he got lost in the cast as I found characters such as Benedictâs Sherlock and Andrewâs Moriarty much more compelling.
Mmm those two did have much more intense characters than Lestrade. I think maybe Lestradeâs more subdued vibe was what I enjoyedâfelt very grounded in a wacky world? if that make any sense. But yeh, it was a smaller character in that way, and therefore easily less memorable.
Ahhh oki, thanks!
I canât disagree with that haha. Sherlock has a surprisingly large support system in the game
There is no way english speakers donât have popular jokes about Sherlock, itâs a whole genre in Russia.
The most famous goes like this:
Sherlock and Watson are camping.
Watson, what do these stars tell you?
That tomorrowâs weather is going to be nice. And what do you see, Holmes?
That somebody stole our tent.
(Also I have an urge to type Sholmes these days, so The Great Ace Attorneyâ Herlock is also fun and memorable).
AAAA I CANâT BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT HIM!! I also adored how the narrative role of âWatsonâ was spread out across multiple characters through the game!
Itâs an absolute classic, itâs its own thing at this point, that why Iâm saying itâs a strong contender. Also there is a whole genre of Baskerville jokes, too.
While we are talking about Russia, outside of the classical soviet adaptation, there is a more modern one, 2013, and while it wasnât absolutely groundbreaking or something, it was a cute, funny story about a too-much-of-a-genius-for-his-own-good Sherlock and oh-gosh-he-is-going-to-get-into-a-trouble-again-isnât-he Watson, and I genuinely liked it, I prefer Sherlock depictions there he actually needs Watson for some reason. I was really upset when everyone was criticizing it left, right and center, because it wasnât the soviet adaptation, and you canât do better than the soviet adaptation, and apparently there is no more need for Sherlock media because there is the soviet adaptation⊠It really looms over everything Sherlock-related here.
I think itâs pretty cool how youâre doing this entire game as someone whoâs first language isnât English. Mine is but I can barely string a sentence together most of the time haha.
Ohhh Iâm impressed as well. Iâm not a native english speaker either and so I thought our dear author Doriana was native bc of how well written the game is!
Now Iâm curious about which one is your mother tongue? Mine is Spanish!
