Both are cool and good detectives OP.

That being said Poirot doesn't have the same ruthless streak that makes Holmes the OG. Poirot would never let somebody get away with murder because the victim deserved it (Charles Augustus Milverton), or straight up murder a guy by throwing him off a cliff (Moriarty).

Poirot let an even dozen people get away with the same murder.

How the gently caress did I forget about the orient express?

Sherlock is a Mary Sue bad rear end bullshit character. Christie actively hated the poo poo out of Poirot, it's why he's a more interesting character.

Mary Sues tend not to be self destructive drug addicts whose only only 2 friends are their roommate and their landlady.

Never heard of an anti-hero, I take it? What about his ninja skills, Bruce Lee combat skills, and monstrous strength? All that's missing is some Navy Seal bullshit.

What ninja skills? He used a martial arts move to chuck a bloke off a waterfall in one story, you never see him beating up 20 guys at once or anything like that. I think you're confusing the books with the Robert Downey Jr. movies.

Midsomer murders is weird, with all the murders in that small town everyone would be dead by now.

There are also no black people anywhere in Midsomer.
