Canon Mycroft wouldn't help Sherlock go hunting for their wild, unladylike younger sister Canon Mycroft doesn't leave the house

The conflict should be between Sherlock trying to rein Enola in for her own protection and Enola trying to find their mother and Mycroft refusing to take sides and just writing checks to both of them to fund their little game

Sherlock has had so many different takes on him throughout his original adventures and the adaptations that he's a Rorschach blot and that's fine But Mycroft's personality in canon is EXTREMELY clear and I hate seeing people just abandon it because it's so good

Canon Mycroft would already know where their mother went and what happened to her and not do anything about it because "she can most likely take care of herself"

He didn't do anything about the constant threats to Sherlock's life from Moriarty until AFTER SHERLOCK APPARENTLY DIED And he clearly loves Sherlock more than anyone else in the world, including their parents

(And he is in fact a misogynist - no women at the Diogenes Club! - but in a passive way But he does everything in a passive way)

Canon Mycroft would want Enola sent to finishing school just to get rid of her, because being around her makes him profoundly uncomfortable But him taking a personal interest in her education is laughable He would force Sherlock to take responsibility for the whole thing

I'm not sure if I'm making this up but I want to say there's a thing where Sherlock says Mycroft hasn't even spoken to a woman since they were children

It kind of sounds like Elementary made Mycroft the "functional, neurotypical mirror" of Sherlock Which is an interesting character to have but, like, the opposite of the point of canon Mycroft

Replying to @arthur_affect @NerdGameProper
...they certainly play games with canon on Elementary, and especially with Mycroft, but it's definitely not as simple as "the opposite of the point". I think he's a very interesting funhouse-mirror-reflection of canon-Mycroft.
