Stephen Fry as Mycroft is brilliant; just brilliant.

[@dkix89]

I can't think of anyone better suited for that role than Stephen Fry.

[@gottdervater8408]

[@TheJackish90]

A shame they didn't do more with him but it's the little things that count.

@@gottdervater8408 tbf I agree with you both Gatiss had the better attitude for the role. But Stephen fry actually looks like the drawings of the character.

There's so much attention put on the role of "Iron Man", but RDJ truly killed it as Holmes. Really hope there'll be another movie...

[@chrispetesch9245]

It's already been confirmed.

By Sherlock's own admission, Mycroft is actually smarter than him. He's just lazy.

[@morningstar6552]

Quite true, Mycroft is one of the most antisocial characters in literature. He’s wholly disinterested in other people, to the point of misanthropy, even going as far as to only venture from his house, to two places, his work and the Diogenes Club - in which it is absolutely silent aside from a few rooms where one can if so inclined entertain other people. Mycroft is more intelligent than Sherlock, however, his intellect is matched by his indolence and introversion. Sherlock is much more into the joie de vivre and adventure, where Mycroft is far more happy sequestering himself away from people, due to I imagine, pomposity or as I’ve stated, misanthropy.

[@Tyrunner0097]

@@morningstar6552 I believe Sherlock also said that Mycroft, when he gathers information, is more apt to sorting and categorizing it, whereas Sherlock is apt to processing and interpreting information.

[@alansmithee419]

He's hardly lazy, he basically controls the British government (or rather "is" the British government as sherlock would put it). He just puts his mind to vastly different things than Sherlock. Takes a great deal of effort to get into such a powerful position and stay there.

[@matasa7463]

@@Tyrunner0097 When the Holmes brothers work together, they are unstoppable. Both of them are also fairly uninterested in humans as a whole, because of how superior they are to most folks. Only those of merit are of interest to them - Irene Adler, Dr. Watson, and even the evil but competent Professor Moriarty.

[@mahermagdy4604]

So basically Shikamaru any one ??

[@ImperialKnight770]

I always love how they try to one-up each other when gathering intel.

[@matasa7463]

Testing one another as a way to see how they're doing. If they are slower or inattentive, something must be bothering them, or they're ill.

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

@@matasa7463 That, and it's fun. It's rare to have someone who just gets you.

[@youngbounty1394]

I love how Sherlock and Mycroft kinda have this way of talking to each other like they’re speaking a different language. If you listen closely, they are subtly greeting each other and saying they miss each other. Then, later Sherlock hints that he noticed Mycroft driving Moriarty somewhere when it was passing Baker Street, then John chimes in, pointing out exactly how much Mycroft knows about Moriarty faster than Sherlock.

[@Tyrunner0097]

I just love how both Holmes brothers can notice the slightest irregularities: "Bootmaker is ill" - Sherlock's boots haven't been either replaced or fixed. "Recently changed the brand of soap" - Mycroft smells different. "A new bow for your violin" - Sherlock's violin sounds different.

[@johnnyyellow5725]

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

@@jayadevmenon7086 The window competition was so memorable despite or maybe because it's something they do all the time

[@MollymaukT]

And the last one is also a subtle way of Mycroft letting off that he was spying on Sherlock.

[@Doughty321]

“I see your boot maker is ill, dear Brother.”

[@BMWDC201]

As I detect that you’ve recently changed the brand of soap with which you shave…

[@Vesperitis]

I just realized that despite his immense powers of observation and knowledge of his brother's proclivities, Sherlock didn't notice Mycroft sitting and hiding in the shadows literally five feet away from him, not to mention Mycroft was waiting in the exact location Holmes and Watson came to a stop. Mycroft is to Holmes what Holmes is to Watson.

[@reidpattis3127]

The moment where Watson earns Sherlock’s full trust. Pays off later on in the final confrontation with Moriarty.

[@karazor-el6085]

I forget which Holmes case it was, but there had been one scene where Watson was nearly killed. In that moment, when Holmes was attending to Dr. Watson, showing a normally-uncharacteristic display of concern, Watson knew Sherlock cared about him. This is affirmed when Holmes, after making sure Watson was okay, turned to the would-be killer and informed him coldly that if Watson had been hurt or worse, Holmes had no problem whatsoever with killing the person who hurt Watson.

[@pratyushparashardas1749]

@@karazor-el6085 It was the story/adventure of the 'Three Garridebs', where the fake Garrideb/a.k.a Killer Evans from the States, took a cheap shot at Watson while pretending to settle for a truce b/w the two.

[@michaelis2958]

Watson had already earned Holmes's trust a long time ago. In these movies they are already best friends, that is why Sherlock was in charge of John's bachelor party.

[@davidw.2791]

@@michaelis2958Yup. In those movies’ universe, at theee latest, Watson proved his mettle when he and Sherlock fought “a dark wizard” together and won.

[@sca8217]

Mycroft goes to the Diogenes club, Jeeves goes to the Ganymedes club... If you're sharp as a whip, get yourself a club membership!

[@sen5i]

Those clubs have been completely ruined by the fact that women protested against them because by being men only they were discriminating against women so laws were passed and rules were changed 😔

[@sen5i]

I know Sherlock homes and Jeeves are fictional as are the clubs mentioned but there were real life counterparts and they were excellent places to hang out in
