I don't think that post is saying Holmes should be heroic at all-it's more about how he's idolized/fetishized by the narrative. And that's without even getting into the fandom response (I've already glanced enough woobiefication to wonder what show these people were watching).

Yes, the RDJ movie was really fun, but it wasn't Holmes. My favourite RDJ movie is Iron Man though-he *is* Tony Stark, as far as I'm concerned.
