Hello, Sherlock Holmes adaptation writer. I have trapped you in this room. It is fully furnished and comfortable. On the table, you will notice a copy of A Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, of which redistribution is perfectly legal, as the work is in the public domain. You will notice it is rather thin. You have 24 hours to read the approximately 8,550 words in this story. To exit this room, all you must do is summarize the plot of the story without referring to Irene Adler as a seductress or implying she is attracted to Sherlock Holmes. Good luck.
A family doesn't need to be a husband a wife and two kids, sometimes it's a lesbian terrorist couple, a flying brick from Mississippi, a Catholic German and a Cajun thief. And I think that's beautiful
I know some comic book readers are upset to learn Mystique and Destiny are Nightcrawler’s biological parents, but personally, I think that it is fantastic. When I learned of Chris Claremont’s idea to make the couple Kurt’s parent years ago, I thought it was strange, cool, and would NEVER be allowed at Marvel Comics. So as a queer kid disappointed that this revelation was scrapped in favor of making Azazel Kurt’s father, I found this retcon especially delightful. Is it convoluted? Yes. Is it awesome? Also yes. Sorry, not sorry, Internet trolls. This type of inclusivity and acceptance are exactly what I’ve loved about X-Men for decades. Kudos to Si Spurrier for making it canon. 👏
irene adler's adaptations make me so cross. there's the obvious tragedy that clearly barely any of the writers even READ a scandal in bohemia, but also. it couldve been SO GOOD. she and holmes shouldve been besties, not 'in love' with each other.
imagine an irene adler that's holmes' penpal. an irene adler that gives THE sherlock holmes tips on his cases, writing from the backstage of her latest opera. imagine an irene adler who comes over for brunch with holmes after the king of bohemia meets his inevitable untimely end. an irene adler whose husband is vaguely concerned about this until he gets invited too and meets watson. most importantly, imagine an irene adler who actually gets called irene NORTON
The way that she just declined a marriage to a KING cuz she didn’t like the vibe of him and then married some lawyer in a church as quickly as she could with Sherlock Holmes as the only witness (dressed as an old man)
And that she says that she often uses male clothing and takes advantage of the freedom it gives her
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN BY "WILL MAKE" THEY HAVE BEEN SINCE THEY WERE CREATED.
Bonus: Sir Ian McKellen who helped the writers make the scene where Bobby reveals to his parents that he is a mutant as close to a Coming Out as possible because he is a FUCKING idol.
'adaptations always turn irene adler into a love interest and it sucks' moriarty the patriot doesn't turn irene adler into a love interest. moriarty the patriot turns irene adler into james bond
