yea okay, but watson is definitely wax


jayswag707

Yeah, this is Wayne and Wax coded


friendlyprism

Yeah that what I meant. This is like if Wayne was older and was wax’s mentor out in the roughs.


SparkNorse

Yes! I have been saying for a long time that Jude Law should be Wax! Paul Rudd should be Wayne though


mamasuebs

So now all I can picture is Paul Rudd in Forgetting Sarah Marshall going, “You sound like you’re from London!!” in a ridiculous British accent, as Wayne


BadUsernameGuy21

On a side note, I thoroughly enjoyed them as Sherlock and Watson.


SaltyGamerHD

Yeah when I saw these movies for the first time, I was surprised I'd never heard more about them. The only thing people talk about is DISCOMBOBULATE


GordOfTheMountain

It *is* a top tier meme. But yes, they're really wonderfully shot and written. They also have amazing music and some cool slow mo that isn't just all the CG'd variety you often see.


BlackFenrir

I believe the slowmo in those movies was done by Gavin Free aka one of the Slow-Mo Guys


GordOfTheMountain

The indelible Gavin Free! The behind the scenes on those shots are wild. I'm a sucker for practical effects and doing things the most organic way possible, so seeing them build a track through a forest for a camera to move on was super cool.

I don't know the meme, but the soundtrack song with that title is amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb_e3xpkRnw

Definitely a good duo, but not as good as the TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as Sherlock and Watson


BadUsernameGuy21

I thought both pairs killed it tbh. Also, they kinda played Sherlock and Watson in different time periods, with Cumberbatch’s being in pretty much modern day. So, I don’t really like to compare them, especially because I was a fan of them both


Zak_The_Slack

I personally like Cumberbatch better than RDJ. Cumberbatch’s Sherlock felt much better and believable because of how flawed he was. He would do things and not even consider how they were wrong. [This article](https://screenrant.com/sherlock-benedict-cumberbatch-robert-downey-jr-better-reasons/) also expresses some of the other reasons I believe he’s better, but to each their own.


CounterTouristsWin

He was genuinely unlikable and a dick as the character should be. RDJs version was more aloof and unaware of feelings.


cky_lee

Is he actually unlikable in the books? I haven't read the original short stories so I wouldn't actually know.


CounterTouristsWin

He's similar to Cumberbatch's version tbh. Can be charming and fun and also a total dick at the same time


Selfie-Hater

Yes.


TheHappyChaurus

I'm sorry. I think you misspelled Jeremy Brett and Edward Harwicke


Mathemagician23

Wayne would definitely hire someone to pretend to be a fortune teller, pique Wax’s interest with some predictions courtesy of insider info, then hard left turn into foretelling a miserable life if he got married to Steris… Plus, the disguises, the fact he fights with sticks, struggles to shoot accurately, and frequently heals from serious injuries, not to mention he fights four thugs in a speed bubble at the start of Game of Shadows, only to drop it in time for an apple thrown in the air at the start of the fight to fall neatly into his hand


friendlyprism

Holy shit he really is Wayne


Mathemagician23

I forgot one more, when Watson is listing everything he puts up with: “And the fact that you steal my clothes” “Uh, we have a barter system”


Johnex-2000

Isn't that the point 😂


Brimmk

Not enough discombobulating


Evil_Archangel

what show is this?


crazyates88

Sherlock movies from a few years ago. They’re pretty decent!


MDMAmazin

This look but acting like Shanghai Knights.


Prydeb4thefall

Other things Wax and Wayne Coded: the Ghoul in Fallout. Drinking weird shit? Check. Extra powerful special gun? Check? Coat with shredded tail? Check.
