Enola Holmes 2 exhibits Enola&#039;s future path to be much different from her brother Sherlock&#039;s Let us find out how.

‘Enola Holmes 2’ Demonstrates How the Teen Detective Enola Will Turn Out Different From Her Brother Sherlock

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for Enola Holmes 2.

Sherlock Holmes was probably one of the first literary characters to introduce
the concept of the “Mad Genius”. A boon of a brilliant mind often brings along
other shortcomings with it which, in turn, become the bane of its existence. In
the same way, Sherlock’s character was a cerebral being; intellectually skillful
and rational to a fault. However, his emotional quotient was so weak that it was
almost non-existent. As he so articulately described,

“But love is an emotional thing, and whatever is emotional is opposed to that
true cold reason which I place above all things.“- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, ‘The
Sign Of Four’



Having said that, in Netflix’s Enola Holmes films, especially Enola Holmes 2, we
see a slightly altered version of Sherlock played by Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/]. While he is still a brilliant
detective, he is aware of his shortcomings. He even advises his sister Enola to
not end up like him. So much so that the movie subtly conveys how Millie Bobby
Brown’s character will actually be her own person and not end up like her older
brother.

ENOLA HOLMES 2 MANIFESTS HOW ENOLA WILL NOT WALK IN SHERLOCK’S FOOTSTEPS

As the name suggests, the Enola Holmes film chronicles the youngest of the
Holmes siblings, Enola. Ever since Millie Bobby Brown’s character comes on
screen, the word “alone” is a constant throughout the movie. Since it is also
her name spelled backward, the film foreshadows, from the very beginning, that
Enola might end up alone. Moreover, she is also completely in awe of her elder
brother Sherlock and aspires to be like him. Considering she definitely has
detective skills and the gift of deduction like her brother, it seems like she
is following the same path; at least in the first film.



However, with the sequel, the better fleshed-out characters, we observe the
subtle differences between the detective siblings. While Sherlock only relies on
logic and rationale, Enola is emotionally sound. Even so, she is often
conflicted about her childhood lessons and the idea of being alone ingrained
deep in her mind.

Nevertheless, she soon realizes that her emotions drive her. This is clearly
apparent through her equation with Tewkesbury. Granted, she keeps her feeling
for him at bay through the first half, but she is also the one who initiates the
kiss

This action was proof that she was no longer afraid to embrace her sentimental
side and give love a chance.

Moreover, Enola also attempted to nudge Sherlock in the same direction. She is
aware love is a big leap for her emotionally unavailable brother, so she takes
baby steps. In the post-credit scene
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-after-black-adam-enola-homes-2-post-credit-scene-starring-henry-cavill-is-again-causing-a-fan-frenzy/],
she sent Dr. Watson to 221 B Baker Street in order to spark camaraderie and
friendship between them. This clearly shows that Sherlock’s fear of Enola ending
up like him will not come true. She will be different and she will be better.
