elementary is literally like “sherlock holmes is not a superhuman. he needs to eat and sleep just as much as any other person. however he never showers or does laundry and looks like the NYPD found him in a dumpster and he’s been following them around like their pet dog ever since” and that’s why it’s the best adaptation
dykeiel:
people adapting the character of sherlock holmes are often tempted to make him borderline superhuman in his treatment of his own body, such as commenting on how he never eats or sleeps, in order to portray his eccentricity. but really is there anything more in character than him walking around his house eating scrambled eggs out of a mixing bowl and offering some to the houseguest he suspects is a murderer
dykeiel:
one really trivial thing I’m loving about elementary is that sherlock actually fucking eats
Also: ‘Sherlock Holmes actually works at being as good as he is and is constantly in brain training to stay as good as he is. He isn’t some ubermench, other people can learn it too!’
