Robyn Hood Review, the new Canadian take on the Classic Robin Hood story and about as opposite the English tale you can get. This show has awful reviews, and deserves it. It's one of the worst TV shows I've ever seen, but was absolutely hilarious because the creators view of the world in Robyn Hood is the exact opposite of all real life morals. Robyn Hood is supposed to be the hero, while actually just being the villain. And the Villain? They gave him all the best lines! But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

Because all of you endorse "bread and circus" without confronting the more important issues of genetic contamination through multi-racial casting and forced association, plus the assault by the zevites (who work for the jesuit/black-nobility network) including the founding and promotion of hip-hop violent "gangsta" culture, for instance. Who has called for the execution of the Bobs for having the intent to soften the beachhead for our eventual demise, or of the celebs and producers for participating in child-sacrifice rituals and child sodomy?

These people are so incredibly ignorant of history. A Sheriff wasn't a cop. A Sheriff was a tax collector primarily. They also were the judges and administrators. They were "Law Enforcement" sure, but in a much grander scale than a cop. In Robin Hood the main issue the people had with their Sheriff was the tax collector bit.

Too true. I got into archery at summer camp between 4th and 5th grade, but I wasn't even good at it. It took me a few years to be good enough to have the confidence to hunt with a recurve. I get that different people have different levels of innate ability (ie: I found that I had an uncanny ability to lead targets with a handgun, which lead me into competitive shooting), but the chances of being among the top 1% of professionals after 1 day with a skill like archery is laughable.

Do you want to know something really funny? A lot of the 'hype' around this I've seen is the claim this is the 'first' female Robin Hood. And that's not even true. Kazue Ikura, a woman, voiced an admittedly male Robin Hood in a 1990 Italian-Japanese co-produced animated series. And Aimee Castle literally played ANOTHER 'Robyn Hood' in the 1998 British-Canadian co-production Back to Sherwood. So this version, depending how you count it, would actually be the third woman to play the character.

You see the writers have put themselves into a bit of a quandary. They want us to think the villains are evil and greedy by telling us how bad the living conditions are. At the same time, they want us to know that the protagonists are righteous and upstanding so they can't show them living in squalor because that would be bad. These writers actually are perpetuating the very thing they claim to fight against: the notion that poverty is a moral failing and only people who live in clean, spacious and well maintained homes can be good.

It amazes me how many people have mistaken the Robin hood message. Robin hood never stood for "Steal from the rich and give to the poor". He stood for "Return the wealth that was stolen unfairly". The first one is a super modern take which pretty much undermines Robin's entire story. Robin at least in the early tales he know of was a Yeoman. A minor noble. Basically he had a small plot of land and maybe a house. Robin went against the state because he witnessed so many of his fellow countrymen being overtaxed unfairly by a tyrant on the throne. He went and stole the taxes that were taken unfairly from the poor not stealing from rich people in general. If a merchant was rich and earned their money through hard work then Robin didn't take from them. He had a firm strict belief about that. The only reason he might go after them is if they stole from the poor. Of course not even merchants were safe from the over taxation so it's a bit of a moot point. The merchants would have barely anything worth stealing. Another point I want to clarify poor in medieval terms was a step away from death. There was no state to house or feed you. If you were poor in those times you were likely going to die from dehydration, disease or the cold before hunger is really a problem. The only saving grace for the poor was the church who weren't exactly the nicest people if you were a non believer or of a different faith. The church was also under taxation in those days so they also weren't doing well in terms of wealth either. Robin had no choice but to resort to the life of a criminal. If he could have done it any other way I'm sure he would have but shockingly a rather robust legal system for these things wasn't created yet.

This isn't necessarily true? "Robin Hood" as a figure, like most folkloric figures, is subject to numerous interpretations and changes over the years. The earliest copies of Robin's ballads talk about his antagonistic relationship with the Sheriff of Nottingham, his "steal from the rich, give to the poor" and him being a devout christian despite being an outlaw. But him being a noble and his patriotism of King Richard were all later additions in the 16th century publishing of his tales. Which, of course, given that widespread public education wasn't really a thing, and thus, most likely read by the upper to upper middle class, you could see why they made Robin a member of the nobility rather than just some random outlaw. Much more palatable for wealthy readers to make Robin someone who steals from "bad" nobles rather than rich people in general. But Robin has always originated as hero of the lower classes and peasantry. Also, yeoman as a title for minor nobiity was, again, more a 16th century thing. Like, there's a reason why Robin becomes an outlaw for illegal poaching. It's a reflection of the political and social unrest amongst the peasantry when new laws that were created that made hunting animals like deer illegal. The show definitely still sucks though.

Usually, when the “good guy” decides to commit crimes, there’s scenes where they struggle with the moral conundrum. They’ve been forced into this by circumstance, not choice. The crimes are also targeted specifically at those with more power who are engaged in corruption or wrongdoing. For instance, in the old guy Morgan Freeman bank heist movie, the characters specifically target the bank that shut down their factory and is refusing to honor their pensions, leaving them high and dry after years of working “for the man”. According to them, it is their money by right, the bank is just refusing to honor their pension. Or in the 93 Robin Hood movie, the sheriff has lied about Robin’s family, driving him into the woods, where he learns that the sheriff is also abusing the peasants. With no other way to stop him, Robin Hood begins a guerrilla warfare, targeted not at “the rich” in general but specifically at the blood money from traitorous nobles seeking to support the sheriff in his bid to steal the throne. He also is just stopping the flow of money, not harming the nobles. This, this just dumps all of that in the trash and is like “crime good” 🙄

Going In Style is the Morgan Freeman bank heist movie. I liked how, in that one, the one guy was against the idea of the robbery even when the others were all in until he realized just how severely the bank and the factory were screwing them over. It's like...yes we might toy with the concept but it really does take something that dire for the average person to finally tip over that edge. It used to be, with movies, that bad actions absolutely could not be rewarded, like how the Dean Martin Oceans 11 or the original Italian Job didn't end up with the money at the end. Then it was "well they can get away with it but the crime has to be against someone even *worse*" like the 2000s remakes of those movies. Now, apparently, it's just "do crime." :\

Like, maybe, an EEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIILLLLLLL "Christian" church's members have been kidnapping a bunch of pregnant women who were contemplating abortions, and holding them captive in order to force them to carry their babies to term and give birth, so then Batwoman has to swoop in and rescue them and give a hammy lecture about "Choice" while escorting them to a local abortuary.

I've seen a few things called out in the comments, like people trying to deny that Robyn Hood and her friends are criminals. From what I understand watching the intro, the characters broke into a construction site to film a music video and the police were called. Yeah it's not a serious crime like a felony, but it's still a crime. And when the police responded the characters began fighting back, which is assaulting police officers. They fled from the police, which is another crime. And then they destroyed the drone which I'm sure is destruction of government property. The show goes on to portray the police and the Prince family as corrupt and violent, especially with how the police reacted to a peaceful protest or shooting Robyn Hood's mom, but that's another issue entirely. I'm not a legal expert but I doubt it retroactively legalizes all crimes those police investigated, at least not automatically unless you can prove some sort of malice or corruption involved. Also I've seen people arguing that the original Robin Hood was exactly the same but no one ever criticized him as a criminal. The original wasn't an egalitarian thief. When Prince John temporarily held the throne he mismanaged the kingdom and drastically increased taxes, so Robin Hood was robbing the rich to prevent Prince John from collecting those taxes, just making Prince John's life miserable until King Richard came back. Robin Hood was later spun into a hero of the people and the egalitarian thief has been used as the basis of a few characters in fiction, both heroes and villains. Off the top of my head, Adam West's Batman had a villain named the Archer whose whole deal was robbing the rich and giving to the poor. The Archer was portrayed as a villain, albeit with a lot of campiness to his character and the show as a whole. Vi, Powder, and their friends in Arcane were also thieves who were robbing the richer upper city so they could earn more for themselves and, presumably, their poorer undercity, but Arcane wasn't trying to deny it. Their crime at the start of the series kicked off a lot of the plot and the consequences of their actions were felt throughout the entire show.

Aren't protests supposed to be held OUTSIDE on the sidewalk in front of the company your protesting. Then the news cameras come by you broadcast your grievances. It's perfectly legal. I've never heard of people bursting into a lobby to protest. Trespassing isn't legal.

It happens sometimes. Normally they are given a warning to leave. I don't know about Canada but most USA states require a verbal request to leave before it can be considered trespassing, if there is no posted signs. If they remain or return they can be arrested.

The most funny thing, is that right now in canada there's this catch and release law. That pretty much allows the canadian law system to just let people go under "probation" for a crime they just committed. Its why canada's crime rate has skyrocketed. You could get caught doing a crime in the morning released at noon get caught again, released in the evening and do another crime afterwards. Its also why we have criminals walking the streets commiting even more crimes, because our law system is a joke. So them fighting like this is the most hilarious thing in this show.

39:02 MEZCAL is an agave spirit from MEXICO that resembles tequila but the taste is often rustically smoky. This is because the agave is roasted, _just like robyn is being right now._ In addition, unlike tequila, it is made from several different varieties of agave, mainly espardin. How to drink Mezcal? Mezcal can be drunk straight or used as an ingredient in various cocktails. Traditionally, it is served in *SMALL* cups made of glass, wood or ceramic. There are also many classic drinks that can be adapted to include Mezcal.

Maybe we should suggest it to Pitch Meeting. "So how are they going to get in? I imagine it'll be incredibly difficult with the place being essentially a fortress.." "Actually it's gonna be super-easy, barely an incovenience" "Oh really?" "Yeah, they just find a unlocked and unguarded door and walk inside" "Oh.... but this place has lots of cameras, right?" "Nobody's watching them though" "So the impenetrable fortress has an unlocked door with no guarding it and the cameras don't have anyone watching them. Are there ANY guards patrolling?" "Nope" "So, so, so, so... how is this a fortress again?" "Well it's where the bad guys hang out!"

the drone would have had recorded the interaction until it smashed. it would have also had memory for location and altitude. The know where it was hit and based on altitude and/or recording know the floor. They had probable cause due to the assault earlier to just go in and detain everyone. it is embarrassing to humanity the lengths of suspension of disbelief they need to make these shows.

Many drones, especially expensive ones, can be tracked in case they're stolen, or you lose it somewhere while flying it. So the cops should be able to track where this drone is, especially since that lady sheriff said that that done was worth more than their yearly salary. With it being that expensive, then it should definitely have gps tracking on it.

In a smartly written story (or even slightly better than dumb story) then Lil’ Jon* would have thrashed Robyn in their spar and it would have made him genuinely uncomfortable. It would have been an easy way to show how just how far above Robyn a trained and experienced fighter is, and also how a familiar standby for Jon is no longer there. His old sparring partner has grown up...but suddenly it’s like she’s moving underwater. If you want to take it a step further, have him use a rather brutal counter out of instinct to some move that she does that puts her in a threatening position. Like, he drives a fist into her gut that makes her dry-heave on the mat, leaving him shocked and trying to find a way to apologize as she attempts to make light of it and he _snaps_ and realizes something terrible: the war followed him home, and Robyn sees the symptoms as a _good_ thing. *Not about to call him Little John.
