I remember my grandmother telling me, I don’t care what they tell you in school, Robin Hood is a red fox.
The best Robin Hood
baced love to see it
🤣
Hysterical 🎉
That version of Robin Hood only got better because of Robyn Hood.
I just can’t get over the fact the best way to “combat racism” is to make a show about black people stealing. I’m dead😂
Robyn from da Hood
They want to portray evil behaviors as morally right. It's far more insidious. Nevermind the misrepresentation of Robin Hood's ideals. He stole from the government, not the rich.
And to show the villains being reasonable and good. Then again, it's a show for "Modern audiences".
We're officially at the "it's happening and it's a good thing" part of the argument
Plus her dad is an absent deadbeat, and they throw trash at the cops when they come to arrest criminals, and the main girl is a total ho. Uhhh guys... I think you're doing this wrong.
Prince John is the Hero in this series. He is using his money to legally acquire property to make the city a better place; and get rid of the, lazy, violent, criminal element.
Sounds like that's actually King Richard in this show, not clear who is supposed to be Prince John. You would have thought they would have made Prince John a conservative capitalist corrupt politician who used voter suppression to usurp power, and had a benevolent Justin Trudeauheart return to power to save them all.
How could you say such things?! Everyone in ProjectTopia is a law-abiding citizen because crime does not exist in ProjectTopia! You just want to victimize the poor, empowered, super legal residents of -the rat's nest- ProjectTopia!
In all seriousness, if the show made it so Prince John would compensate the residents like what usually happens, the entire conflict would be flipped on its head.
I think that it’s an utterly genius idea to make unique costumes to hide your identity in your rap videos and then wear those same costumes while committing crimes.
Well to be fair to the director, a lot of kids today are doing this.
@@justinwillingale2086 They're doing it because the crimes They're committing are legalized but having their faces out there means somebody might retaliate.
Director X himself established characters to not be bright in any way (no pun intended) despite even throwing "tech" (technology for "I fkin love science" but definitely not "I try to understand science" type of Twitter/tiktok "folks") at them
if its popular, it actually is.
@@mewre2062 “Unique costumes”. ✌️
"Let's fight the stereotypes!"
*Has black people stealing*
You can't make this shit up
They don't view this as a problem. Only arresting them for this behavior is a problem in their eyes.
The left are their own biggest enemies. They literally can't stop playing themselves.
They sure love to keep the Stereotype alive but clearly love lying about it that they " do not do it"
They don't want to fight the stereotype.
They want to fight the negative stigma stereotypes. These people believe the stereotypes are how people actually are.
Not stealing--infinite reparations...
Remember, guys, the mom who got shot and paralyzed from the waist down was declared a “flight risk” 😂
Anyone with a catapult can fly.
And later in the show, Robyn unironically asks if she wants to go for a walk. Priceless.
@@eversor431 the mom should have answered "I can't walk! You tennis playing cockroaches for a brain dumb fuck!"
“Let’s go for a walk” this is a line that actually happens in the show, near after her Mom comes home.
And, a little spoiler for Episode 3, Robyn asks her if she wants to go for a walk.
This show is an (absolutely unintentional) amazingly hilarious comedy.
One thing I think a lot of people miss interpret about Robin Hood is he's not an anarchist, he's a patriot. His crimes aren't just in protest of an unjust government. They're in protest of an unjust rule of prince John while the good king, the real king, Richard is away in the crusades. The when king Richard returns and deposes John robin hood stops being a criminal and pledges his loyalty to king Richard.
Exactly. He is very much in favor of royalty and his King, he has been unjustly driven to a life as an outlaw because of his support for the King and his opposition to the usurper. As much as there is even any solid legend to base it all on, what we think of as "the story of Robin Hood" was really created pretty recently by a person combining a selection of the many, many various tales and ballads about the character. Kind of the way that the books in the Bible were selected, except in that case they knew what doctrine they wanted to support before they chose the books to reinforce them.
Robin Hood also steals taxes and hands them back to people
I’m German-American of old Prussian stock but seeing an Irishman defend an English folk tale tells me everything I need to know about who the real enemies of humanity are.
The Icelanders?
@@andeluvianspeeddemon4528 The Canadians.
I'm just kidding, it's just people who consciously disrespect other cultures, unprovoked. Like atheists that look down on anyone else's beliefs, or theists who attack people in the name of their own deities.
It's amazing that Disney's animated _Robin Hood,_ which portrays the characters as anthropomorphic animals, and my introduction to the English legend as an Asian, is more faithful to the source than... whatever this show is supposed to be.
Same! Back before "the dark times" when they made quality stuff!
In Mr. H's interview with Director X... He (X) says the Disney cartoon version is one of the "quintessential" retellings of the legend.
That film just got a 15% boost to its reputation.
Heck, Robin Hood: Men in Tights is more faithful to the source.
@@bethanyh1637Well, at least Director X can acknowledge that things from the past are good. Some people have reached the point where they can't.
As a Canadian, I want to apologize on behalf of my people for subjecting the world to this atrocity.

It isn't like this show is the first troublesome thing to come out of Canada, let us not forget Brian Adams.

Speaking as an English guy from Nottingham, can I complain about cultural appropriation? Robyn Hood is clearly stealing and corrupting an old English folk hero and legend
You're white though, right?
So you're not *really* human, and can't complain about cultural appropriation. Don't forget that unblacks don't have any culture...
Well he specifically said that, but no, not really, I think that Robin Hood counts as a global property now. If you wanted to object you should have done it for one of the dozens of previous non-British remakes of the story.
@@justforever96I mean by this logic Thor isn't Norse
You're being replaced demographically so they feel it's appropriate to take your culture as well. When their numbers are high enough and you face discrimination like the whites in South Africa they'll change your history and declare all European inventions were African as well.
"Woke" people will not give a crap, as the tale came from the English, which is made of white people in their eyes, making this cultural appropriation okay to them.
It's like when the "Woke" mob cancel a "person of color" for holding different opinions than them. They are only "caring and empathetic" when it comes to their own or when they think it will benefit them.
I learned this the hard way after a shit attempt at a conversation on my end about the Israel War situation and how one of my used-to-be favorite creators was supporting palistine and only sending support to palistine civilians, and not the civilians of both sides. I was mildly harrased and insulted to fully cussed out by people in the replies, including said creator, who wrote a book about how evil I was for not understanding their superior collective thought process. They have millions of followers, both on CZcams and Twitch, and are in their mid to late twenties whilst I am not even out of high school, and I have a few mental ailments that make many things more difficult than I would like them to be.
I like how the show immediately has our protagonist :
Trespass on private property
Refuse to obey lawful commands by a peace officer
Violently resist arrest
Assault a Police Officer
Destroy public property
and the reason for doing these things : selfish attention seeking online
but she is the good guy, I swear
Modern logic
I can't think of a single woman in my family who would actively encourage their daughters to engage in shameless, promiscuous behavior by keeping a "condom jar" filled for them. I get that as a parent you'll have to accept that your post-pubescent kids are going to be having sex at some point, but still, outright enabling them to be as hoor-ish as possible by providing them endless free condoms is just creepy.
Right; tho the writers would make the character say something about how we're just jealous, and after a few dozens takes the film crew would edit the "acting" to make it look 👏 at us. It's like watching syrup of ipecac. It's like playing really bad dungeons and dragons.
Clearly written by a man

Yeah but it’s a black family and black girls fuck anything that moves!
Apparently it's a black people thing 😂
Every single person involved in the creation of this show deserves to be in a scientific study on how you can survive with literal no brain activity.
To be fair I wonder that about someone at least thrice a day these days.
No, its a deliberate agenda. I thought that would be obvious by now, but the veil of innocence these entities skulk behind seems to be masterfully fooling people despite it's pathetic shambolic and ostensible weak construction.
And, hopefully get them off the gene pool as fast as possible.
Jellyfish have been doing it for hundreds of millions of years so...maybe they are related
don't be so hard. it's just a downward trend for all streaming services. very little money and critical demands on production time equals a steaming pile of shit.
The whole “see myself” and representation thing bothers me because I have to wonder: how self absorbed does someone need to be to need to see themselves in everything?
By that reasoning they would probably find it odd that I'm a redhead of Scottish descent, yet Mulan (the good one, not the remake) is my all-time favorite Disney heroine. Even more shocking, I didn't like Brave all that much.
Many of them are extremely self absorbed. provably if you go and read most of their twitter histories and other things.
@@snowangelnc I love a lot of the Disney Princess movies despite of the fact that not one of them is a Filipino. Heck, my favorite is Belle, who is French. I even prefer Ariel, who looks nothing like me, to the local mermaid show that aired when I was a child.
That last part is more amusing to me now due to the fact that Halle Bailey said in an interview that her life would have changed if she saw a Black mermaid as a child. That was all I needed to read to know that the race swap in LAR18 was politically motivated and made me hate the remake more than I would in principle.
This idea has honestly wrecked my head for a long time. I love playing video games and I've never felt excluded because main characters are males. I've been playing video games since I was a kid and I never felt having a male lead was an issue. Now looking at advertising for video games, it leans so heavily into girls can play video games, it makes me cringe so much (the advertising of Tears of the Kingdom had exclusively girls playing the game with boys only watching on, just make it freaking balanced, have a mix of both playing). I don't think the vast majority of people need to be "told" you're allowed to enjoy x, y or z.
I honestly don't believe them. I think everyone who says that is lying. Not maliciously, but it's the kind of thing they are programmed to say, they say it because they think they should. They each think, well, maybe *I* am not going to watch this movie or play this game regardless, but surely it's good to add "diversity" because SOMEONE will now love it entirely due to that change. But that someone never materializes. Sort of like, where's the Jew that's offended by being told "Merry Christmas"? He doesn't exist, but a few yahoos, on his behalf, bitched about it (not to say the "war on Christmas" people aren't also ridiculous). No one actually cares, not even the woke people who chant for it, just like no feminists ever made a film a hit just because the movie got rid of attractive men and women and featured an unlikeable bint as a protagonist.
i love that even in their wildest fantasies the father never sticks around lmao.

Ive never been so ashamed to be a Canadian. Considering that Trudeau has been in office for 8 years, that is really saying something.
What you gonna think when he wins the next Election?
@@adrenjones9301 The people that count the votes are more important than the people who vote.
Apologies, as I'm unfamiliar with the Canadian political system--don't you guys have term limits?
I mean, Trudeau and all of Canadian Parliament just gave a standing ovation to a literal Nazi, saying they were proud to call him Canadian... Director X has some stiff competition for “Worst thing Canada did”
@@CharlesUrbanthere are no term limits, as long as their political party (Liberal party for Trudeau) is voted with enough confidence to hold power.
Current polls are not favourable for the liberal party, to put it nicely.
Films updated for a modern audience checklist:
- Main character has to check all the diversity boxes
-Villain is always a straight white man or woman
-Conflict revolves around defeating the patriarchy, or anything to do with homophobia, transphobia, racism, fatphobia, bigotry, etc.
-Constant reminders that the show or movie actually hates their audience
-Constant meta humor and commentary that doesn’t make it any funnier
-“First ever character that is ______.” For the 466775421199754th time
-No real story is present, instead the entire thing is just political propaganda
-No one falls in love anymore, because in modern times true love doesn’t exist
-Every female is a corporate ladder climbing girlboss who doesn’t want kids or a man
- Straight romance doesn't exist, unless they're the bad guys.
- Marriage and families are villainized.
- Religion is villainized, unless it's Islam.
- The protagonists act like villains, commit crimes, talk down to or bully others, and behave selfishly, yet are portrayed heroically for it.
- The female protagonist, or another female character, gets one or several scenes which serve as a therapy session for the showrunner or writers.
- No character arc, because the protagonist is "already perfect as they are."
- The "villains" unintentionally end up resonating the most with the audience, having a fully fleshed-out character arc, and being more heroic and brave than anyone else (The John Walker/Ken Effect.)

When somebody says authentically black what they mean is ghetto, there’s a difference I’m African-American, and I don’t act like anything I’ve seen in here. It’s so disgusting to see people say that.
Yeah, that really annoys me too. Like there is an accepted way you have to act and talk if you have black skin. Like that's not at all racist. And of course it just highlights the fact that almost everything they complain about and call "racism" isn't at all, its cultural conflict. It just happens that most of the people with the objectionable behavior have dark skin. But no thinking person blames the persons _race_ for that, they dislike the _culture_ which is by definition not "racist", whatever they insist. Ironic that no one sees mocking "white trash" culture as hating all white people, the culture they call "black" is for the most part just the black counterpart, it's lower class urban culture of the sort mostly found in black communities. And I think a person has every right to object to a lot of it. It's not healthy, and that they try to spread it and teach kids to emulate it and use those values "to be authentic" is terrible. A lot of "white" lower class culture isn't much better, listen to country music for long and you find that being an alcoholic is a laudable goal in life. But they at least also generally praise hard honest work, and mostly law abiding and decent behavior. Although I find users I less true than it used to be. And I wonder why?
Dawg the people that watch these kinds of videos religiously consistently call you a thug and say "13/50"... Unless of course you go right along with them and agree that "Yes, these blacks these days are all just stealing their fancy Jordans and shooting hos, not I though, I am well spoken and agree with everything the Conservative party says."
If I were you and read half the comments here like I have... Jesus Christ I wasted my life... well, then I wouldn't be agreeing on anything these people agree with.
Shit, I'd praise the show just to spite them even tho it's pretty shit in general. I'd rather like pandering trash that thinks it speaks for me than out and about lil' KKK members constantly bitching about black people existing on their TV screens all day.
I’m so glad you brought up the history of these brutalist “project” housing buildings, as it adds to the irony of a woke black director finding pride in keeping black communities stuck in these concrete cells, never aspiring to anything more.
Was gonna say the same. Lmao they portray living in a project as something positive and private home ownership as something "White". I really doubt the Director X himself lives in the projects.
Yeah it’s pretty disgusting. Those places are horrid. Why would anyone want to perpetuate such a thing?
The directors aim was to desecrate White legends and heritage, THAT is the crime here.
@@GarrettLoganGriffin
Might as well show pride in the apartment buildings in Chinese cities "meeting CCP regulations."
Have you looked at the buildings and apartments in this show? They look first class, except for any graffiti added for "realism"
Wish I, as a white person, had housing that nice.
They may be poor, but they have lots of clothes, furniture, decorations, and working appliances.
It really says alot when Director X seems to make the main cast almost every Black Stereotype out there. Reminds me of that one episode of the Fresh Prince where Carlton was treated poorly because he didn't act stereotypically black and he said "Being black isn't what I'm trying to be it's what I am." Effectively saying he's black as in that's his skin color and he can't change that, but that shouldn't dictate how he should act.
Really feels like people have forgotten that just cause you have a certain skin color doesn't mean you have to act a certain way. Director X clearly forgot that.
It helps when you know that Julien Christian Lutz grew up rich in Toronto, was given instant access to the music video industry straight out of college, and essentially is "whiter" than any of the caricatures he paints as villains in this show. All of this straight on his Wikipedia page. He's such a poser, he copied his stage name from Malcolm X and probably legitimately DOES think "this is how you act black."
Or worse: he knows it and ignores that.
@@MarvinPowell1Wow. That explains *a lot* about how bad this show is.

I should point out that the bail system doesn't even work like that in Canada, it's recognizance based one. Basically, you don't need to put up the money to be released, but someone bailing you out is responsible for your behavior and will have to pay if they don't report you violating conditions.
You can even be released on your own recognizance, basically walking out on your own word.
Holy shit, Alan Rickman did more acting in those last 5 seconds than anyone did over the entire runtime of Robyn Hood
By Grabthar's Hammer, by the suns of Worwan, we shall always remember Alan Rickman.
Alan Rickman did better things in his restroom than this whole cast and crew will EVER do! RIP Sir Alan Rickman!
At least we got a hot blonde with big personalities (she's Mercedes Blanche)
Alan Rickman did more acting in his life than the sum of all Woke trash combined.
That's not really fair. It's Alan Rickman.
Note also that while the white characters are the main villains (with the son possibly being just a jackass), the East Asians are depicted as willing accomplices in white supremacy.
Director X is as subtle as a middle schooler.
Asians are collaborators to justify the Black on Asian violence.😂
I hear another CZcams reviewer (Alteori) compare the police lieutenant to Pearl Davis, "Just Pearly Things," and now I can't unsee it.

Well, we are flavor of the month. Most of the time we’re white adjacent unless a buck can be made off our suffering.
Pretty stupid that if (Idiot) Director X want to remove stereotypes, he instead shows his bias towards african americans over asians and white people by suggesting that white people are as evil as Sauron and that the asians are their accomplices and puppets. Wonderful writing.
Why do all these "black led" films and dramas always portay the "black community" as living in projects/Tower blocks and struggling?

If you're old enough to remember when Kevin Costner's "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" was released, you might recall that it was widely criticized as a soulless, Hollywood blockbuster version of a beloved English folk tale, which had been Americanized and turned into an action film so that the story was sufficiently "updated for modern audiences." It was financially successful but critically panned, or at least the reviews were very lukewarm. And especially considering that "Robin Hood" followed closely after Kevin Costner's financially successful and critically beloved "Dances With Wolves," the film was considered a rather poor vehicle for the world's most popular actor and director at the time. Oh, and the accents. Kevin Costner's choice to, apparently, try to speak with an English accent for some lines, and in his usual Midwestern twang for others was the source of much humor. But Costner sounded like a Richard Burton doing Hamlet at The Old Vic compared to Christian Slater's Will Scarlet. Anyway, the point is that there was a time when "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" was considered a not very good adaptation of the Robin Hood story. I know it's hard to believe a film that today looks like a minor masterpiece was seen as a slightly embarrassing American/Hollywood bastardization of a classic tale, but that's how good movies and TV shows used to be, and how audiences expected them to be. We didn't know how great we had it.
His accent was actually fine imo..ive heard worse accents here in England...well London innit types prove my point
I was only 12 when that came out, so I didn't know that. I thought it was an awesome movie.
I saw it in the theater. As an American I did wince at Costner’s attempts at sounding English but Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham was worth the pain. lol
Fortunately I grew up with Michael Praed as Robin Hood in Robin of Sherwood. I feel bad for any kid watching this Robyn Hood abomination and thinking it’s even remotely close to the myth.
Perhaps we were to harsh on it.
@@spm36 It's more about the inconsistancy.
His folktale knowledge is also bad, Richard the Lionheart was at war in the crusades, Prince John was the ruler in his absence
To your point about the towers: they still exist in France and they're often no-go zones for the police. Turns out stacking poor people on top of each other using entire blocks of those monstrosities with little upward mobility creates a lot of tension
We have a few of these "Commission Flats" here in Melbourne. They house low-income and risking-homeless people.

@@the_absurd_heroYeah she’s gorgeous. But they duded her up real bad and it’s hard to tell.
It makes me chuckle that they tactically cast a pale redhead, just to make sure you notice that she is White and absolutely White and no other race than White, becuase only White people are evil and you need to be of no doubt that evil is White. Also that not White brown token cop wasn't the one kicked by her and humiliated.
From the fragments I've seen, it looks like she knows exactly what she's in and is just trying to have her fun, bless her.
So committed that she is only able to shin kick one of her officers to send him flying across the room.
Ah so this is what they call ‘cultural appropriation’ then?
When this was raised, I believe the Director said that ‘nobody cares about Robin Hood’.
Well, we do. It’s part of our heritage.
Love from England 🏴
"The Director said that nobody cares about Robin Hood" and yet they leech off the original story of "Robin Hood" instead of coming up with ORIGINAL IDEAS OF THEIR OWN. They are nothing but a bunch of "Woke" grifters and they suck at it.
That’s how it works, when you take from them it’s cultural appropriation but when they take from you it’s improvement.
it's very likely robin hood is not a single character, but a composition of criminals of the 13-14th century; much like Jesus of Nazareth. there really is no tangible evidence, outside of a passing reference in a 14th century play, he, or his band of men existed. it is even possible the 'man' was a mercenary, no longer in paid service to a king or lord. and if that were the case, then it's quite possible the chap was of eastern european descent; the fall of constantinople and the subsequent collapse of the byzantine empire, created a lot of displacement, which in turn sent a lot of those natives west.
curiously, friar tuck and maid marion were additions to the folk tale in the 16-17th century. if we consider those two additions were supposed to be the pinnacles of human piety (a wife and a priest), this could infer the Church was growing concerned with how the wind blew in Hood's direction. after all, the traditional and consistent script is of the man regularly ensconced inside his tight band of very willing men. hidden away in the darkest depths of some forest, and every night robin would peek out of his rugged tent, only to be greeted by a multitude of thick, lengthy wood.
As tolkien once said " evil cannot create , can only infect and destroy what the good made "
Straight cultural appropriation. There is nothing of our culture that they won’t take and make a mediocre version of, or in this case, terrible version.

At least it is true to form. The disgraceful thing is the racial bastardization of White characters.

I remember blacks complaining about the stupidity of so many black roles. So now, many meritless black or other people of color (which is just another way of calling yourself a colored person) have been hired and they are casting blacks in so many stupid roles (like from '30s and'40s) or as thief's, thugs, drug lords, prostitutes, etc.

He is absolutely brilliant, articulate and effing hilarious....gotta admit though, hearing "race swap lead" 50 times in an American accent would be irritating...but his accent makes everything sound so fluid.
Been binge watching this channel for two days and had to look up "rings of power" because "rings of pyre" just didn't make a lot of sense to me. I was like "sooooo, is it like a ring of funeral present due to unjust slaughter of some Hobbits or some sh!t?"

i like how the fake reviews arent even smart enough to give it a 7 or an 8 out of 10 they all have to give it 10/10 and say its the greatest show ever made
This guy is like a better-spoken, sober version of the Drinker.

They're both awesome!
Jesus your description is so savage I haven't even watched this but after this review I have no desire to look at this. As a black person this is actually more offensive than woke for me.....please never change how you review series/movies
If the audience racist for not liking a bad show regardless of it's diverse cast, Director X is all kinds of phobic for ignoring legit criticism from both men, women, any race, sexual orientation and gender.
He makes these reviews so long so we actually feel what he feels even though we will never see these shows. A true despot with so fierce paer.
And yet somehow more benevolent and desirable than the actual show.
It's also because he has a point to make and wants to make it as clear as possible. That's part of the problem with other videos that tackle the same thing, they are too short with many people making very brief and often poorly explained points. Some times you need an hour to get the point across.
*pyre. The PYRE of The Despot shall never diminish!
A noble service to suffer the poison so others can enjoy the hilarity.
These break downs are so much better than the source material. What will we do when the Despot and his content are bought out by some mega-corporation, like Norm McDonald. Suddenly one day, all Norm's content was gone...
Director X. You sure can feel his hate here. This had to be government funded because nothing this horribly racist could be put out by a commercial enterprise without somebody in a responsible position saying something.
Disney: Am I joke to you? 😢
corporate commercial enterprises: YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER
If it's Canadian-made, it goes without saying that a LOT of government funding went into this.
The hate for Whitey is real, hence this garbage. Believe it.

I absolutely hate that they desecrate the Army uniform. You don’t button the top button during normal wear.
I heard somewhere that they have to deviate from the military uniform in some way so they can legally use it. Pretty pathetic, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's true...
I can’t get enough of your “ am I right boys? HAHAHA “ …juxtaposed with your articulate and mostly monotone type of narration.
You don’t overuse the opportunity to say it , maybe once or twice per video , but when you DO , I can’t help but to laugh, no matter how many times I watch the same vid.
The police shooting scene reminds me of the "Life is Strange 2" police shooting scene. If this is how these people really think these things happen it shows how insanely sheltered they are.
Or the very Guantanamo Bay-style cells and interrogation
36:12 this part is actually bananas. Not one judge in America will qualify a shot person in a wheelchair, days out of the hospital as a “flight risk”. That term actually qualifies when the defendant has skipped bail multiple times, or has simply not shown up to court, or is an immigrant.
Mop Head’s your best name creation to date, man. Cracks me up every single time.
The fact that movie makers today need to take an already existing successful project and force their narrative on it is proof that nobody is interested in watching their nonsense and they know it... Hence the need to force it down everyone's throat through characters we all grew up loving
I commented this before, but I'll say it again: I don't understand why this isn't being bashed by everyone for being racist. Because of course the black girl doesn't understand stealing is bad. Of course she's a college drop out, her father who's presumably also of color is absent, AND a bad influence to booth. She's so promiscuous so happy-go-open-legs that her sister(or some girl I don't remember) naming a bunch of guys and bashing her a bit with it, she empties the condom jar fast and forgets to refill it as evidenced by her mom having to refill it for her, so she's also completely uninterested in being responsible for her own pleasures, I'm surprised the mc's aren't being depicted as professional weed incinerators and substance addicts too.
If you told me this show was written by Uncle Ruckus (a self-hating black man) from The Boondocks, I'd probably believe you.
@@AshCosgrove
Julien Christian Lutz bein a sheltered, privileged, wanna-be "hood" light-skin Toronto rich kid who's so desperate to be oppressed, he renamed himself after Malcolm X, it basically was. When you're this out of touch with reality, all you can do is mimic clichés and stereotypes.
Probably because Director X over here thinks these are all great qualities
Professional weed incinerators 🤣🤣🤣
Most of the diversity virtue signaling is racist. But they could never admit to that. Much of it tends to be worse and less thought out than what they are trying to claim it is standing against. Just go listen to their claims about Affirmative action sometime and the reasons that why things like lower test score limits are needed for them, which most tend to boil down to "they just aren't capable of being smart enough to reach the higher score!" or "Most of them aren't capable or smart enough to meet the requirements for that job normally!"
My sincerest condolences to Despot for tolerating all THESE garbage just so we don't have to.
You are a legend, man 💪💪💪
Marian was a very strong character in the 30's "Adventures of Robin Hood", played by the splendid Olivia de Havilland. Note that I did not say she was a strong FEMALE character; she earned and deserved her place among the Merry Men. For her, right and righteousness were the primary motivations, not her attraction to Robin; and to top it all off, Robin only rescued her after she engineered HIS rescue, so it was more "turnabout's fair play" than "damsel in distress".
And not once did she have to pick up a weapon and throw down with the boys. But we can't hold her up as an example to girls because then those girls might notice she pre-dates Jennifer Lawrence by decades, and start questioning whether we ever really needed the grievance-grifters.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Theme
@DespotofAntrim thanks!
The problem with this show is that it is set in Canada. They might as well set it in Staines starring Ali G.
That would have been funnier.
The difference is I'd actually watch that 🤣
I don’t understand. Is that a British reference? I think Director X was conflating Canadian and American laws and the respective criminal justice systems. Possibly he thinks they’re exactly the same.
Aiiigh
Stop. Giving. Them. Ideas.
One of my favourite moments from the show was when one of the characters was telling the top cop lady that she didn’t have the right to do what she was doing, so she says that she has a warrant. I bet the intended reaction was “she can’t do that” but the thing is, her actions are completely justified.
Did you make that up is that a real thing in the show? I'm a bit stunned.
I saw myself reflected in this show, since I, also, do not do the flashy flash.
As far as I'm aware, 'The flashy flashy' is not presently a component of Irish culture, and, to that extent, I was able to personally identify with that component of the show.
I had a hard time believing this was real….
I swore it had to be some kind of parody..
It’s so ludicrous.
Poor iPhone Karen for having to say those "lyrics". Even she deserves better than that, Despot. For shame.
Well done, Despot. Many of their superhero stories had been morphing into this for years now. Where the "hero" spends more time fighting the police than criminals, and every villain is just some caricature of the right.
I'm glad that the media isn't propagating the "police are there for your protection" memeplex anymore. Police certainly CAN be that, but it is not being that.
That could reasonably work... in China. If you look at most of the people killed that were followed by riots, they turned out to be pretty terrible, from Kyle Rittenhouse "victims" to George Floyd. You get ~500 fatal police encounters yearly in the US, but they almost exclusively pick out the worst examples. It's like they're trying to make a parody of their own supposed cause, picking out the abusive drug addicts and convicted sex offenders to present their "martyrs" to the public.
Love him or hate him, Malcom X was one charismatic motherf*cker- Absolutely magnetic speaker.
The immediate cut to Elizabeth Holmes 😂😂😂😂 I’m dead
The woke hivemind has literally become a parody of itself at this point
Also I want to throw out another historical fact of why Robin Hood's thievery was so brilliant. You see when you had to pay taxes to your Noble Lord they had to write you a receipt nowadays. A receipt is just a bill of sale so that you can exchange it for your money back after you pay for goods and services. Some Goods can be returned with the receipt but back in the old olden days. You see when the debt collectors came around to collect your taxes they had to write you a receipt. But these receipts were not only just a piece of paper but had written signature.
By the debt collector and a wax seal of the king Lord or Baron of that area. In debt collectors would actually attend auctions for contract from these Noble Lords and even the king. To collect the taxes but you actually did pay your taxes on time.
Even though they were outrageous and crazy it's proof that you did pay your taxes and due to the king. Or the Lord of that area but here's the thing you get some guy like Robin Hood who robs the tax collectors and the corrupt Nobles. And he gives that money back to the people you probably think it was stopping them from just you know taking that money back. Well the receipt you see if you had this receipt proof that you paid your taxes you didn't have to pay again until next year. or ever how long it takes for your debt collector to come and collect your taxes.
So legally if these corrupt Nobles wanted to just take their money again they can actually take them to court and they had proof and the King's seal which means if they tried it that. Means that you're calling the question and calling the king a thief.
That's absurdly funny and brilliant
@@ARStudios2000 yeah that's why Robin Hood schemed worked out so well is because the Nobles couldn't take back the money by force. Because they did pay the taxes they have the receipt they have the proof that they paid the taxes. If a bunch of nobles just went around to The Peasants again to text them and collect the taxes again. You're basically calling Richard a thief and Richard the lionheart was away at the moment during Robin Hood shenanigans. On Crusade but if he heard about this at a bunch of peasants who did pay their taxes and had receipts for them. If he heard that his son was being as corrupt as he was he would have immediately dropped everything and come back to settle this out because you have a peasant revolt on your hands. The reason why the lynchpin of why there was so much corruption is because Richard was away his son was doing all of this
It's written a bit confusing but did I get it right that the people got a tax receipt with the king's sigil that proved that they already paid the taxes.
So when Robin Hood steals from the tax collectors and gives it back the tax collectors can't collect again since they already paid and collecting again would mean to accuse the king of lying since it's his sigil?
Interesting, but your way of conveying information and writing paragraphs is strange and disjunctive. You might want to learn how to use commas, and not fulls stops where they are not required because it reads like some AI bot.
It's adorable how idealistic humans are regarding their systems. Everything is a master plan and/or idealic on paper. At the end of the day, I promise the king got his money, regardless of the system in place to protect the subjects. After all a king puts receipts in place as a mechanism and can therefore ignore or dissolve the edict. The more likely reason a king would issue a receipt is to prevent scammers from collecting taxes because that removes money from the kingdom at large. This way if you suspect a scam you have recourse and exposing that scam ben fits both king and subject because it's success would harm both king and subject
We need a compilation of all the times despot says “pauer”
Or 'tire' instead of 'tower'.
In the U.S. they will not only ask for a longer sentence if you fight the charges, they will add more charges. It is how our system works. If people didn't plead out and every person had their case heard by a jury, the system would completely fall apart. They can barely keep up, even with all the plea deals they do.
As a Canadian, this makes me sick. Also, in Canada you don't pay to secure bail. Bail is always free. You only pay if you breach your bail.
That is how bail works in the US too, but you buy a bail bond for a fraction of the bail amount and you pay nothing if you don't flee.
@@JCDenton3 Yep, typically 10% of the amount. If you skip town, the bondsman will just send a bounty hunter after you, who will physically manhandle you into the courtroom.

@@SymphoniaFly velma exist
To be fair to this show, considering this "Project" is a projetopia, it makes sense that they like it. It's fundamentally stupid to the point that it makes sense in this show
There was a point in time, long since passed, when people knew that it meant more for a person to relate to someone who was nothing like them, either physically or ideologically, then it was for people to simply see a character that was ... ugh ... a reflection of themselves. What we have now is called regression and it is not a good thing.
It's like I'm back on the playground in elementary school playing opposite day. Its amazing to me how many things today, when said aloud, reflect a stupid, kids' game.
The idea that someone in Canada would be bailed out like that is ridiculous anyway as virtually everybody is released almost immediately, even violent offenders. There are offenders in Vancouver with hundreds of pending charges and the police are still forced to release them. The idea that things would work this way is ridiculous here.
The race card is the ultimate card. Black privilege.
these types of people don't live in the real world they only see the idealized uptopian view they have
thats why many of the Canadians suburbs are becoming impossible to live in, because all of those drug addicted offenders (thank you trudea for making whole communities intoxicated because of your idiotic and dangerous "safe supply" policies) are freed immediately after committing offence
Canada has a weird relationship with criminals. It’s like they want to destroy the country one crime at a time.

I have a WIP were a stranger is held up by I.C.E. because he was wandering around a remote ranch wearing ONLY A HAT, SHOES AND CUFFS.
He later managed to identify himself as a "neonomad" from a world with magic, after... Acquiring the local language. He later managed to cast the spell that completes his look, AKA you see clothes but he's not wearing any. Surveillance cameras and scanners are not fooled, though.
The fact that those movies only managed to give us Armored Rhinos and Literal Wall Of Men is sad...

Wow! This is the biggest tip I've ever gotten. Thanks very much man, I really appreciate it. And thank you for listening in to the stream yesterday!
This follows a recent trend of remaking old media and replacing the protag with a female girl boss. They also did girl Kung Fu and girl Zorro. They follow the exact same formula. Girl hero who is chosen has a male simp friend that she ignores, as well as a chad that simps for her. Also she may or may not be bisexual. I've seen the other two shows they were also quite bad and used a lot of cliches, mostly woman and social justice tropes.
Robyn Hood is more a parody of the source material than Mel Brooks Robin Hood: Men in Tights ever was. Which is, should you be unaware, an _actual_ parody film. Except it was done intentionally.
Not bad but still lacks the genius of Maid Marion and her Merry Men
Mel Brooks movie is the parody; this one is just a joke.
The most depressing thing is that the creative team had no understanding of what Robin Hood is.
Just discovered this channel. This guy has a silver tongue- I could listen to him talk/rants for HOURS!
Thanks man, welcome to the channel.
Robin hood and little john walking through the forest, laughing back and forth with what the other had to say!
What you say about the projects is spot on. Everyone when I was growing up hated them. The residents hated all the crime and how it was impossible to enforce laws there due to ambushes. My dad grew up in one and despite the fact he lived there before crack came to his city, he was happy they tore them down.
"Woman with large breasts: a woman with large breasts". That killed me man😂
What's crazy is that they gave her the Felicia braids I really felt like saying bye Felicia
I grew up in the Chicagoland area and I can definitely assure you this depiction of the ghetto is right on. Take Cabrini Green for example (when it was around). Perfect harmony, everyone living together in peace and neighbors helping each other out. A real sense of community there. Definitely not a drug addled, crime ridden, murderous neighborhood that the cops were afraid to go into.
Finally, a strong, urban, bisexual and independent black woman has once again appropriated my culture.
As a heterosexual, white man (what's typically associated with the role of Robin Hood) I can finally "see a reflection of myself."
So brave.
Stunning and brave
It wasn’t made for me.
Gotta love how people think you can modernize the story of robin hood when the story involves a cruel king taxing the poor for his own game.
When in this, a guy who wants to improve the neighborhood he owns by remodeling the one poorly kept area, and uphold the law from the hooded glowsticks who steal commercial property
I have a cousin who my aunt adopted out of the ghetto, and he hated this show for glorifying a project housing
So glad I found this channel. Sometimes the algorithm stops holding back the good stuff.
This channel never ceases to make me laugh at the absurdity of modern day politics/culture.
Being the worst show of 2023 is oddly kind of an accomplishment.
Personally, I think Velma was the worst show in 2023. This shit is just ramblings from a sleazeball that's so up his own ass, you'd have to get a pry bar to get him loose.
Its competing with Velma and seems to be winning

For Friar Tech, did they just green screen him in from a Cyberpunk 2077 gig I missed?

Fun fact most of the stories get the real story wrong. Robin hood was originally about hunting. It wasn't about stealing money, it was about hunting the kings animals and giving the meat to the poor.
That actually makes more sense considering the period but the money angle still follows the spirit in theory of the story
No way? Seriously? That is fascinating
@@heysomeone0310 yeah, in old England all animals are considered property of the king or queen. In olden times the penalty for hunting the kings animals was death. Robin Hood would kill the animals then give the meat to the poor. That's why he's always depicted as an expert archer and outdoorsman.
I had to rewatch this. Your channel is awesome!
I'm so ashamed of my country. I'm sorry for this atrocity, everybody.
Don't feel ashamed you and probably the majority of Canadians didn't want this.
