    Urrrgh, what a mistake to make.

    Thought this was some comedic Sherlock Holmes spoof, its actually some
    dumb kids film.

    I woudn't have minded, but the damn thing is full of blatant identity
    politics. Most of which are extremely anachronistic.

    The whole plot is about these bad guys trying to kill a member of the
    House of Lords, who is going to make a crucial vote on a bill giving
    equal rights to women. As if anyone needs yet another history lesson
    about how awful things were for women back in the day, just so they can continue to demonise men in the current era.

    I'm fairly sure, although there were a few black and Asian immigrants in
    London during the late 1800s, you wouldn't see black newspaper sellers, Asian/Pakistani police detectives. Also, black housemaids where
    extremely rare and not at all commonplace and I'm not aware of any that
    could perform martial arts???

    Only thing it appeared to be missing from was a gay couple.

    I don't know what it is with film makers and TV producers these days,
    but they seem more interested in crowbarring minority charcters into
    their productions, to the point where they are prepared to portray
    unrealistic depictions of history, just to keep the diversity police
    happy, than just making something entertainng that people are interested
    in watching.

    Here endeth the rant!

    Christians claim that those weren't created until the 1960s, inside a secret-lab by Satanic Communists.

    Oh no, didn't know you were one of those MRA types.

    Not quite sure what you were expecting from a gender-flipped Sherlock Holmes. It's hardly going to be faithful to the source material, is it?

    I would hardly class myself as an MRA, but that's perhaps a discussion
    for another time.

    Well it's not really a gender flipped Sherlock Holmes though is it?
    She's meant to be the younger sister, with Henry Cavill playing Holmes
    himself.

    Thought it might be something like that old Gene Wilder film "The
    Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother".

    Boy was I wrong!

    Incidentally, I see Channel 5 recently cast a black actress to play Ann
    Boleyn for a new adaptation of Henry VIII and the usual suspects are
    branding anyone who complains this is historically innacurate as
    "racist" (strangely, these same people will cry bloody murder over white
    voice over actors voicing black characters in cartoons).

    Whole TV and movie industry is going to shit by injecting "woke"
    identity politics into everything, instead of just making something entertaining that people want to see.

    I think it's safe to say that they won't be casting any black to portray Sam Spade, baby!!

    Yeah I know she's not called Ms Sherlock Holmes but that's effectively what this is.

    This was a massive success though.

    OK, but if they want to get it right by the source-material, he'd BETTER be a homo.
