That is the beauty of reading. If you don't like how the characters are said to look, you can use your imagination to redesign them. Interpretation is the beauty. That's why many stories have no illiterate on besides the cover of the book.

[@cha5]

+Khadijah Johnson True, Although I always imagine Holmes as illustrated by Sidney Paget, For me he'll always be the signature Sherlock Holmes artist. It's always funny to look at some of the pre Paget Sherlock Holmes illustrations, they're pretty bad IMHO including one from the 1890 edition of The Sign of Four which has a fatish Sherlock Holmes with a mustache under a W.C. Fields type of bulbous nose and a Nigel Bruceish Watson screaming his head off standing right next to Holmes at the scene of the Sholto murders.

While I am not a purist, I do consider Doyle's stories to be the "real" Sherlock. I do enjoy some of the adaptations, including the latest movie franchise. I do think that saying that Joseph Bell "is" Sherlock Holmes is a bit of a stretch. However, I do believe that Doyle was inspired by Joseph Bell's personal nature and work when "designing" his character. Back through history medical practitioners had a more detective-like role, since what a doctor does is literally looking for clues and deducting the most probable cause, something which is true to this day. Today we have specialists in certain medical disciplines, like autopsy for example. This hasn't always been the case. Oh and by the way, Holmes does use the word "elementary", although he doesn't use the phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson". Also, Holmes is described to be wearing a deer stalker cap in "The Hound of the Baskervilles".

[@shehzormujthedi9843]

The Hound of The Baskervilles, you mean?

[@finnpalm9951]

+Shehzor Mujthedi Well, it's not my favourite story, but I agree it's good.

[@TheSingingBUn]

Jeremy Brett to me is my favorite sherlock actor. His version not only clung to the book so faithfully, he really kept the mannerism and the novel atmosphere. Tho, I have to give credit to young sherlock holmes because that was my first introduction to the Holmesian lore. And BBC Sherlock that gave me the kick to read Doyle's novels. I got curious after I read the book, so I looked at other adaptations and encountered Jeremy Brett's version.

[@ggwp638BC]

When I first read Doyle's novel, I was very confused. The description of Holmes wasn't even near of what I had in my mind. Imagine someone that never watched Star Wars, and only knows Darth Vader through other people's interpretations of the character, and when he finnaly goes watches the movie, he sees a completely different character. From what I could see, after reading it, is that every interpretation of Holmes is how each autor takes what they most liked in the original Holmes, and works that as his main feature. And after those, we had the ones who took the interpretations of others and made their own interpretations. There are so many different Holmes, it goes from a range of British midle-aged kind of weird man, to an Eastern Europe Blonde Lolita. A Holmes for each taste. If I have to ellect one as the true Holmes, I would put the original one as the true character. Not exactly because it was the first one, but because every other version and interpretation has roots in Doyle's creation. That Holmes is every version of Holmes ever made, packed into a single character.

[@fashbaz4282]

Good rant. I approve of this!

[@ggwp638BC]

+Callum Pengelly I agree with you, it wasn't the best example I could use (thinking about it now, Luke Skywalker would be a way better example). But it is still valid. Tecnically, every Sherlock Holmes should look the same, or at least look like each other. But it has been so many years, and so many re-interpretations, that each one is very different and unique, sometimes going completely against the original one. Yet, their roots are the same, and they are all Sherlock Holmes

[@localtriggerfan1998]

My apologise, but did you just say 'Eastern Europe Blonde Lolita'? Is that from Gosick?

[@ggwp638BC]

Scarlet deVillain Yes, it is. Apart from Holmes as the blonde loli Victorique, Watson is pretty much Kujou, and Gregson/Lestrade appear together as Grevil.

[@april147]

He's completely there in the role. Most times with celebrity voices, you can see them in your mind's eye saying their lines into the mic in the recording booth. Try to do that with Price in The Great Mouse Detective. His speech and the animation just blend together flawlessly.

[@hrishikeshchanekar9846]

Some of the quotes by Holmes in the original works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are better than the ones attributed to him by other writers. To quote a few "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains however improbable must be the truth" "Where there is no imagination, there is no horror" "These are deep waters Watson" Respects to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for creating the most inconic character in the history of literary fiction.

[@rubycrimson1353]

[@gamd4521]

Ruby Crimson actually in the spanish version of the Sign of Four Sherlock does say "elementary my dear Watson"

[@rubycrimson1353]

If in the Spanish version he says that, it clearly means that the book itself was poorly translated since in the cannon that was never said. If a work is poorly translated you cannot tell people that the character actually said it in "some other langue version" because it clearly wasn't the author's intention to write it nor it had the author's permission for it to be said. The author was not responsible for the lack of care of the translator.

I think this oversimplifies why Sherlock Holmes continues to appeal to generation after generation. If you've ever read the original Conan Doyle stories, you know that Sherlock Holmes in the original stories doesn't stay the same throughout them. The first story was published in 1887. The final collection of stories was published in 1927. That's a span of 40 years. No character has been written by a single author for such a long period of time. And as Conan Doyle aged, Sherlock aged with him. The author's changing perspective is reflected in how Holmes is written. That is why it is so easy for so many adaptations to pick and choose whatever traits they want to focus on. It's why adaptations have varied so much over the centuries. And it's why he has become so endlessly adaptable to any ideology.

[@jakubswitalski7989]

[@Imru_gamer]

How come? if you don't mind me asking?

+Jakub Świtalski true :)

[@Artistmodro]

Conan Edogawa is Sherlock Holmes :)

[@Metal_Fingers.]

I watched Case closed as a child I am surprised I am not scared for life.

[@bellenicht9874]

Yes, he is~

[@e.k.o5412]

[@Yoshikeeperjr]

no, he is a timelord! also the eleventh does play as sherlock Holmes. so it makes sence if he is a timelord

[@ggwp638BC]

+Artist modro I vote for Victorique as the anime Sherlock Holmes.

[@elfarmy7898]

I find it funny that I didn't really know of any of the adaptations. I've only heard as well as read about Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Seeing that there have been numerous such adaptations around the world is fascinating, to say the least.

[@ApollonianShy18]

One feature that I remembered very well from Connan Doyle's books is that ShH never ate before finishing a case...

[@denisherlock3023]

Sherlock who???

[@hihikhkh789]

nice joke lol

[@justanotherbohemian3827]

Sherlock Cumberbatch?

[@asar2252]

Sherlock Downey Jr

[@goldengifts3830]

Clearly.

[@alexandraE09]

'will the real Sherlock Holmes please stand up?' My mind: I think it's kinda hard to stand up in a grave

[@Firmus777]

Sherlock Holmes is the very first superhero in a way. And he even wore a cape.

[@slimemold4767]

he really was, as well as the archetype for batman type superheros with robin sidekicks

[@dragondaniel0574]

There is even a great quite underrated manga about sherlock with an anime adaptation but from Moriarty's POV (The villain side). It's called Yuukoku no Moriarty/Moriarty the Patriot

[@tinatingodoladze3322]

Imagine creating such a wonderful character that whole world knows and loves after decades but considering him the least favorite character and a ''shame'' as a creator. Thanks to Sir Arthur anyway.

[@user-se8mi2io1v]

+Valet Scapin Who? Benedict Cumbeerwatch?

[@whatzittooya3873]

I love how they included the great mouse detective at the end.

[@dallasgrey4247]

The best adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is the Livanov movies from the USSR. They stuck to the books very closely, and tried to get actors that looked like the illustrations. They’re so good and accurate that some Holmes statues base their appearance on Livanov.

[@propronunciations4776]

Have your fight about which actor was the best. They'll keep coming and going. But at the end of it all, I'll be having my time of the day diving into the world Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created. The unchanged, precious work of literature. The timeless classic.❤

[@ricardozapata9142]

Very interesting video! I was thinking about this the other day. I remembered that Sherlock never said 'Elementary, my dear Watson" and how I couldn't picture Sherlock without Benedict's face, even if I have read the books and saw first the Robert Downey's movies.

[@linkat3066]

Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes to me

[@crawllingchaos]

Same, smh these squealing fangirls

[@danacoleman4007]

100% wholeheartedly agree!

[@itzz_ayush8230]

Finding this comment😁😁

[@darcyliz9993]

Yup. Looking for this comment. Brett is the best Holmes.

[@enomiellanidrac9137]

Though the exact sentence "elementary my dear Watson" doesn't appear in Doyle's work, "elementary" alone is sometimes used by Holmes to qualify some of his conclusion, for instance in "The crooked man" : "Excellent!" I (Watson) cried. "Elementary" said he (Holmes)...

[@aurelia_aurita]

For me, the real Sherlock Holmes (and Watson) will be always the one from the Russian adaptation. They are just awesome, I grow up with them and learned by heart all episodes before reading the book. But I watched a lot of other interpretations and genuinely loved them. This is the beauty of Sherlock Holmes, you always can find something new!

Ok the animation, specially the walking scene was just AMAZING AND BREATHTAKING AND OMG SO TALENTED

[@redwolf121990]

Including Basil of Baker Street in their Evolution of Holmes walk, I love it. 😂

[@Anastas1786]

I thought Mrs. Hudson was their _landlady;_ she just cooks and makes tea sometimes because she's naturally hospitable and cleans up after them occasionally because she just can't _stand_ the horrifying _shambles_ Sherlock often makes of such a nice apartment.

[@moonkiitty]

It would be charming to see "Herlock Sholmes" from the Great Ace Attorney included, as DGS was released in 2015. In the Japanese version of the game, he's Sherlock Holmes. Another Japanese version is Sherlock Hound, which again would've been cute to see included like Basil. :)

[@tomdekler9280]

I believe the first Herlock Sholmes was from Maurice Leblanc's "Arsène Lupin, gentleman burglar" series of books. He had to do it because Arthur Conan Doyle himself didn't like Leblanc using the name of his character. Not to mention Arsène completely upstages "Herlock" in the book and then sends a postcard to Sholmes containing Herlock's own pocketwatch, which he nicked.

[@nelsiegeografo9185]

I wish this video has also included that Sherlock Holmes was at least partly inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's C. Auguste Dupin even though Sherlock himself criticized the latter.

[@storytimebyrichardslater]

It's been a pleasure re-discovering the original stories.
