WHAT THE--HOW IS ENOLA STANDING IN FRONT OF HER BROTHERS IN HER UNDERWEARS, THIS IS WRONG but at least Fiona Shaw is here to terrorize her. If they HAVE to start Enola at a boarding school to show the stakes, she's a good one to do it

... are they trying to suggest that there are sparks flying between Mycroft and the abusive boarding school lady? WHAT

AH, JEEZ, IT'S BURN GORMAN IN A BOWLER HAT, GET IN THE CAR

So
#EnolaHolmes immediately dressed up as a boy and she's camping out with a posh twit dreamboat with fabulous hair. She's told him all her secrets. Uh, y'all ... ... Look, the books are really good, and the first one is still on sale at Amazon for $2.99https://www.amazon.com/Case-Missing-Marquess-Holmes-Mystery-ebook/dp/B001QIGZ9K/ …Show this thread -
Hee hee, this one extra in the back of the tearoom is the MVP--WHAT IN THE WORLD, IS THIS A LADIES' JIUJITSU CLASS, WHY IS ENOLA DOING KUNG FU IN HER CORSET AND BUSTLE, WHY IS THERE DYNAMITE, WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON

"YOUR FACE IS TOTALLY UNMEMORABLE" she shouts at Burn Gorman ... Okay, I'll admit, I laughed

It was nince of the Suffragists to leave all their volatile chemicals just lying around in the open in case anybody had to explode a stab-happy guy in a bowler hat

Oh, good, she's finally set up her business as Sherlock's rival. AND she got in a dig at Lestrade, which is always good

"Politics doesn't interest you. Why?" "Because it's fatally boring." "Because you have no interest in changing a world that suits you so well." Okay, that's not a bad exchange in the midst of an otherwise inept attempt to roast Sherlock

Mycroft has engaged Lestrade to find Enola. MYCROFT has engaged LESTRADE to find I TRIED TO HAVE AN OPEN MIND, BUT GOOD GRIEF

"I don't give a fig about flowers" says Enola Holmes, and I don't know if I can finish this, y'all

She gave herself up to Lestrade to save the posh twit who was having a SLEEPOVER in her boarding room, Mycroft is screaming at her, and she's finally made it to boarding school. I hate this a LOT

"You'll thank me one day when you're happily married with a pair of strapping boys." ... That line did not land the way I think it was supposed to

OH, GOOD, her brother has swooped in to sparkle at her, condescend, and Sherlocksplain deductive reasoning AND FEELINGS to her
Show this thread -
OH MY GOD she's being RESCUED by Lord Posh Twittington and she has stolen a car because THERE IS A CAR IN THIS MOVIE and the headmistress went to school with their mother but has a crush on MYCROFT, AAAAAAAAHHHHH
Show this thread -
... Okay, the reveal in the flashback to Enola's mother lecturing her about choices and moves while playing chess actually surprised a laugh out of me
Show this thread -
... wait, the mystery Enola had to solve was who wanted to kill Lord Twittington? I thought that had already been established about 10 seconds after we met him and he basically told her
Show this thread -
And then it was followed up with ANOTHER part where the murderer ALSO basically told her, and she still didn't catch on

If Helena Bonham Carter descended from on high to tell me how to kung fu Burn Gorman to death, I would be more upset than inspired, TBH

Henry Cavill striding out of Scotland Yard yelling HAH! needs to be a GIF

I don't know how I feel about the fact that famous superdumbass Lestrade is played by one of the two POC in this film

WHY ARE YOU DRESSING LIKE A BOY AGAIN, ENOLA NO

Did they DELIBERATELY tailor Cavill's suits to make him look like a goddamn wall of meat, or is he just that swole?

I'm really disappointed, y'all. I was so excited when I heard they were making it a film with Millie Bobby Brown. I figured that it might take some liberties with the source material, but I didn't expect it to actively HURT.

Nancy Springer wrote a FANTASTIC book series about a girl outwitting her genius brothers by exploiting their biases so that she can try to follow her dream and somehow make the world better. It explores unusual, dare I say neuroatypical, familial bonds
Show this thread -
It expands the world of Victorian London beyond the one seen from Sherlock and Watson's points of view. It comments on the unfairness of the system and the society while working WITHIN that societal framework

Seeing the push-and-pull relationship with her brothers is a delight, and seeing her setting herself up with disguises, misdirection, and a bunch of money her mom stole from Mycroft to become a legit detective without anybody realizing it is entertaining as HELL
