My elementary school class went to a medieval village and learned that saying “a pox on” someone was saying they wished that someone would die of smallpox. Since most did back then it was a grave insult. One of my classmates said it to another classmate and the guide said he had to get down on his hands and knees and beg his friend for forgiveness. His friend forgave him.

Historically, John would officially become king 5 years after this movie takes place. I think he ended up confiscating church property forcing churchmen to flee abroad, murdering his own nephew, and just losing a crap-ton of land to the French. Oh man. Poor Robin, his merry men and Friar Tuck would be in for a rough two decades lol

Sure he had good intentions, but he mistreated Dawn Bellwether horribly and took credit for everything she did, never respecting her as a true deputy mayor, but some secretary to take advantage of and never apologized for any of it, not even to any of his other coworkers he mistreated. Even when being questioned about if he knew about what Dawn did, he still acted like he was an innocent victim who DID NOTHING WRONG! She didn't deserve the crap she gave him at all. She had understandable reasons for doing what she did, unlike Prince John who was only after money and power by taking advantage of the poor.
