This is war

[starrylizard]

Hi fellow Sherlock fans,

I am attempting to make a short Sherlock vid for a challenge and I need to cast the roles that appear in the song "This is War" by 30 Seconds to Mars.

My thoughts so far go like this:

The Good: John
The Evil: Moriarty
The Soldier: John or a soldier from 202
The Civillian: Sarah or Mrs Hudson
The Martyr: Soo Lin
The victim: Lots of those, no problem
The Prophet: Mycroft
The Liar: Irene Adler
The Honest: Molly Hooper
The Leader: Lestrade
The Pariah: Taxi driver/serial killer
The Victor: Sherlock and John? or maybe Moriarty
The Messiah: Sherlock

I assume there isn't a problem with casting a character twice, but I'd prefer not to. Not sure where to place Irene Adler in here. I think I need to shuffle the deck a bit... hmm

Any thoughts? Anyone? Please... *wibbly lip*

The Good - I would've put John there but you already have him as a soldier, so my next choice would be... Sherlock and John. They present the good when they're together, don't they? So the scenes where they laugh together or really do anything.

The Liar - I'm not sure. Maybe Irene Adler? After all she is kinda lying about stuff, keeping secrets at least. Or exchange Mycroft for the liar and Irene for Prophet? Though I'm not sure how that would work. Or putting Moran as a Liar? The scene from the bank, him in a suit?

The Victor - absolutely no idea. Moriarty probably?

Edited to add: Maybe put Moran to Liar and Irene Adler to Victor. After all, she survives everything:-D

Irene is totally the Liar. John is Good, I can see you wanting him for soldier, but what about using one of te fellows from the base in Series 2? For Martyr...Soo Lin would suit better than Mrs. Hudson I think. The Victor I don't know, maybe define John-and-Sherlock as a single role?

*tries to get brain to unsee details apparently from the new series which hasn't aired in the US yet*

Oh! Oh! I don't know why, exactly, but when I saw "soldier" I immediately thought of Henry from Baskerville. And don't forget there's also Anderson and what's-her-name (augh! Brain freeze!) the police detective to play with!

I wouldn't put Mrs. Hudson as a civilian, Sarah's more appropriately dragged in the middle of it all ( and Mrs. Hudson is too badass ;-P)
