lucyliu So proud to be in the American Born Chinese family, directing and working alongside fabulously creative, talented friends from our AAPI community. Thank you to the very hardworking crew and cast for welcoming me and being so generous in spirit and heart. You made every moment count and I am so grateful.
top tier: “Elementary” is better than “Sherlock” because not only does it not have the racism, sexism and queer-baiting from the BBC adaption, it actually shows how smart Sherlock Holmes is instead of just telling you that the detective can do the impossible. The overall portrayal of Sherlock is much more true and actually shows him as a person instead of some hero who does things off screen we just have to believe. Even though “Elementary” might be lower budget and may feel inferior to “Sherlock”, it’s overall the better show and definitely more enjoyable to watch
god tier: “Elementary” is better than “Sherlock” because Jonny Lee Miller is hotter than Bumblebee Custardbath
Clyde, you forgot Clyde the turtle!
God King Tier: Elementary is vastly superior to Sherlock because Watson is not played by a pathetic hobbit who spends his time worshiping Holmes but by Lucy Liu who is gorgeous, brilliant, has her own life and is ready to kick Sherlock’s ass the minutes he steps out of line
And while in Sherlock Moriarty is a third rate Joker rip off that makes you cringe in Elementary Moriarty is a sophisticated , menacing villain that is truly terrifying and her chemistry with Sherlock and Watson is amazing
I’ve heard all the rest before and it’s not enough to get me to watch the show but CLYDE THE TURTLE how has nobody told me about that? I might watch the show for him.
“Sometimes people talk about my mainstream successes as groundbreaking for an Asian, but Asians have been making movies for a long time. They just weren’t making them here because we weren’t yet invited to the table.
I was lucky that trailblazers, like Anna May Wong and Bruce Lee, came before me. If my body of work somehow helped bridge the gap between stereotypical roles, first given to Anna May, and mainstream success today, I am thrilled to have been part of that process.”
