  • There's nothing else for it - Robyn Hood, from the genius visionary mind of Director X, is truly the best show on TV right now. And possibly ever. In fact, definitely ever.

It was a great way to get , at least, a handy from from any girl u took to see it.

    The problem is people don’t even know what the original Robin Hood tale was about. he didn’t steal from the rich to give too the poor in the way we perceive it he stole from an illegitimate government unlawfully taxing its citizens as well as thieves masquerading as beggars and corrupt members of the church (but he always gave that money back to the church to be used as it was intended). Robin Hood himself was a noble and stopped his work when the legitimate king returned and even fought for him in several wars eventually leading to his death. He was never a "f*ck the system" figure his story taught the valuable lessons of not obeying someone just because they say they are the authority and to respect and fight for the actual authority of your government. The classical Robin Hood would have shot this brat for being a thief and disrupting legitimate law.

    • @LeutnantJoker

      Not sure why people don't get that. It's right there in the story. The problem wasn't the rich, the problem was Prince John usurping the throne of his brother and destroying the kingdom. And the peasants Robin was protecting and helping didn't want to get rid of the rich, they wanted their legitimate king back.

    What I like about this show the most is that the "villain" is the most sensible, intelligent and likable character who is also kind of a savage and based, and turns out is actually motivated by trying to do something good even if it will be seen negatively in the short term by some people.
    Meanwhile the "heroes" are just a bunch of stupid criminals who should be put into jail.

      SFO's "The Association with Evil" makes it clear why, TL;DR; wokeoids oppose what Western culture stands for, and thus embraces evil imagery to show their opposition. The result being that when wokeoids write up villains, they end up softening up real monsters (Red Skull Peterson) or actually make the villain more similar to a normie

      The worst part is that they thought it was against black stereotypes. It actually plays into them and I don't understand how the director never saw it. One of the best b horrror movies ever is Tales from the hood, the people who made this bs should watch and learn how to actually empower black people without seeming mentally challenged and extremely racist. Tales has actually impacted the black community so much that many black men have told the creators that they made these men rethink their destructive behaviors. If a b horror flick can have such positive impact on people, any well made art can do the same. But it seems Western writers and directors are so entitled that they cannot see this potential. And taking the stories of white heroes and giving to non-white people strikes me as condescending. It's like giving latinos, like me, Namor or Blue Beetle. Thanks, we have our own mythology and stories.

    Let's not forget the nuance of the real Robin Hood which Director X seems to have bravely avoided, like being a fallen nobleman fighting after losing everything. Then there's the plot where Robin steals gold to help everyone who's suffering, before helping themselves. Basically, why is he a hero and not just a bandit with a bow?

    • @jameso1447
      @jameso1447 Před 2 měsíci

      Robin Hood was a nobleman who rebelled against the government which was poorly run while the king was fighting in the Crusades. It overtaxed and impoverished the the people so Robin Hood began raiding tax collectors and returning gold to the people. He saved the people (poor people in particular) from Joe Biden until the true king returned.

      Eh, that really depends on which version your talking about. In the oldest stories we have, the stuff from mayday fairs, he stole from everyone. Later on, it became no farmers, yeoman, squires, knights or ladies. Then it became steal from the rich, give to the poor.
      Anyway, my point is, the oldest stories just have him as either a bandit through and through, or one with a loose code.

      @@Daemonarch2k6 i do wonder if that's only because of the american mindset that everything you've ever earned is to be yours alone, I mean it's sound but it does kinda rub me the wrong way don't it?
      I mean if the tax system in the US is similar to that of the EU countries like Sweden where they send you a receipt, would this concept of "taxation is theft" be as widespread as it is? That perhaps why many believe it to be is the lack of action that paying taxes does. It benefits nobody but the rich, well in the US it surely does but what of other nations? An interesting inquiry.
      Welp, I appreciate this comment. It gets the old noggin working again and then some. Good day! Ignore the ramblings!

      @@johnarkansas6033Sweden has a total population of what? 5 million? While US has 350 million…?? 🙄🙄 yea, I’m kinda sick of neo-Marxist dip shits insisting we adopt the regressive tax system of countries with only a fraction of the population of America, not to mention countries with a completely different social structure. **sigh ** personally, I have a problem with 70% of my income, even as a lower class citizen (as is the case in those marvelous European countries) being snatched up by gubberment to forcibly redistribute to everyone else.. why?? Why is that more morally okay than wanting to keep what you rightfully worked for? (which in the grand scheme of things, does a whole lot more to benefit the class system than forcible redistribution-people tend to be a lot more charitable when the money they’re spending or giving away is conceptually their own rather than something recycled by a third party interloper).
      So yes, to emphasize the sentiment-taxation is and always will be theft. Educate yourself.

    Someone pitched this to a producer who agreed to take on the project, who took it to a studio who agreed to fund a pilot who then green lit an entire season. This is why aliens won't contact us.

      Hopefully once some of the billionaire space programs start to make real progress the aliens will realize we pose a genuine threat, and will decide to pre-emptively destroy our planet with giant space nukes.
