It's worth pointing out that the original canon Sherlock was abrasive and hard to get close to but genuinely cared about peoplehttps://twitter.com/nberlat/status/837025616910245888 …

And that original Sherlock didn't get along with original Mycroft specifically bc Mycroft had no empathy driving his actions

But even Mycroft wasn't actually an asshole, just oblivious and antisocial

The first Mycroft story is Mycroft making the unprecedented step of asking Sherlock for help bc he thinks his neighbor is in trouble

(And Mycroft, yes, doesn't WANT to take on any of the effort or risk of actually fighting crime but also has the humility to know he can't)

Worth pointing out that original Watson has a skewed POV on Holmes and Holmes often surprises him w considerate acts Watson didn't think of

Couple of cases where Holmes picks up on something Watson misses bc Watson doesn't stop to consider the feelings of women, servants, etc

A big thing that got missed w the modernization is Holmes had a reputation for hilarious bluntness BECAUSE he lived in the Victorian era

Ok yes the Sherlock ppl nodded to this w the Victorian episode but they did it badly

Holmes would've just been wryly surprised that Watson was unobservant enough to be shocked by the brides, not made a grandiose speech
