A super random thingy done between commissions to show my appreciation to the news: Sherlock will arrive in Italy, too! Wo-ho.

I fear the italian fandom. Why, yes, I'm Italian. So what? It isn't what I meant. There are really horrible examples of fangirls here, I start to shake at the bare thought (I’m sure that there are fangirls as scary as that anywhere, but the problem is that I understand them when they talk, more or less.). We call them "bimbeminkia". I can already say that they’ll be divided in three separated groups:

- the "OMG but they’re too gay, I’m disgusted"
- the "OMG they’re so cool and now I’m going to write some NC17 fics that will make everyone understand istantly how much not only I’m awful at English, but at my own language too, showing exactly how ignorant I am!!1!!"
- the "nooo they’re too ugly (the fact that Cumberbatch is probably one of the five man that have made me most hot and bothered in the last, like, five years, is a stupid detail)!!! SH2009 forever!" ignoring any other Holmes in movie history.

But more than everything else, as much as I can appreciate Italian dubbing and the great job that my yellow countrymen do (it’s known that italian dubbing is one of the most appreciated if not the best)… I fear the adaptation. I saw how it went for Castiel and a lot other characters that I love, and thinking about Sherlock dubbed in Italian makes me anxious. Maybe they’ll pleasurably surprise me, but…

Do we have someone with a voice like Cumberbatch’s? Not really. Someone that comes close? Sure enough. Question: could that person manages to keep that tone of voice? Detached, not exactly well-meaning, arrogant and warm nonetheless? IHIGHLYDOUBTIT.

And then, let’s say it all. I don’t know English that well but I can recognize British English from American English. The dubbing will pretty much erase all the writers’ effort, goodbye to the heavy Brit English XD

I keep on hoping that the small fangirls will avoid it because the actors aren’t really pretty according to canon because for now it’ll be aired just on a paid channel.

Dedicated to sherlock_italia , a lovely community full of nice people where I can finally write in Italian about interesting subjects \O/

ps. The italian sentences in the last panel are Italian proverbs: "Tanto va la gatta al lardo, che ci lascia lo zampino", "Chi dorme non piglia pesci", "Meglio un uovo oggi che la gallina domani?", "A buon intenditor poche parole", "Ambasciator non porta pena" and "Batti il ferro finchè è caldo" XD

EDIT

Since someone was interested...here is a short video where you can hear them dubbed .

As I said....I'm scared. AND I WAS RIGHT. Take a look, this is a preview of the series.

OH MY GOD, SHERLOCK, I'M SO SORRY. CUMBERBITCH, WE'RE ALL SO SORRY. They gave you the same dubber of DAWSON LEERY. DAWSON LEERY. HE DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE ON HIM, BUT ON YOU...YOU...no, ok, I don't know if I'll watch it. Martin, at least, seems to be a little luckier.

If you want to suffer as me and ~yawed ...click on "GUARDA IL VIDEO".

But be warned, it could cause you a feral attack of stomach ulcer.
