I have a great idea for a reboot and i wanna make it happen.

Its basically a word for word retelling of the original stories, but every character is EXTREMELY buff.

Like, the weakest SH character is buffer than Biscuit Oliva.

I believe it is split, the character is, but some stories are not.

There was a court case involving it, and everything is in the public domain now

So if Great Ace Attorney had waited a year they wouldn't have had to change Sherlock Holmes to Herlock Sholmes?

I think the last 10 stories went PD at the start of this year.

Dunno about the public domain but the original has a charm which persuades people to overlook the chauvinism. If you are going to reboot without the charm then clean up up the Anglo supremacy.

Probably, but they likely would have done that, anyway, given the type of humor for the series.

Im only going to update a few key things to make it jive with modern society.

Like in the original Sherlock was a heroin addict and loved to shoot up cocaine. In this one he likes doing roids and boofing fent.

The Hound of the Baskervilles would just be a pibble named cupcake that got loose at a daycare in the hood.

but that's not edgy considering sherlock already deals with murder and mystery

gotta shift the genre entirely and put sherlock in things that make you want to vomit, that's what the real goal is

Sherlock Holmes becomes a Jpop producer who, when his biggest star gets sick right before her breakout concert, has to fill in.
