Ladies and Gentlemen, going forward in my travels on the internet, I am going to take any complaint that Peter Cushing was “too slight” or “too fragile” “or “weedy-looking” or otherwise some version of “too thin” to play Sherlock friggin’ cocaine addict Holmes, as a concession that he absolutely crushes your preferred interpreter of Sherlock Holmes in every other way. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I mean…that he absolutely crushes the role was never a point of contention, was it?….was it???

Not to me it isn’t! :3 this is just a weird nitpicking putdown I see occasionally, usually from people who’ve had great success arguing their preferred Holmes interpreter has thought harder and worked harder at capturing the character from the books, and suddenly discovered that some random horror movie guy has, yes, thought and worked every bit that hard about conveying Sherlock Holmes to an audience.
