    Oh hey look, a pointlessly gritty and dark Robin Hood movie, what a novel concept! I’m sure nothing like this has been made before, and I’m sure it’s something audience are absolutely clamouring for!

    Didn’t they already do a “realistic” Robin Hood in the 2000’s with Kiera Knightly?

    Ngl I find Robin Hood endlessly fascinating because there is a folk hero buried in there that actually slaps, but it’s so hard to make it work in a way that is historically convincing i.e. how does ‘rob from the rich, give to the poor’ work under feudalism? Disney squared the circle by making it a story about the evils of taxing peasants of their (checks notes)… gold coins, and the sad thing is that’s basically as close as anyone has come to getting it right. Maybe after the revolution we’ll get a decent Robin Hood adaptation idk

      stealing food back? i don’t think americans are literate enough to understand a different kind of economy and that’s one of the reasons we always get fantasy medieval capitalism.

        Yeah it would have to be grain or something, wouldn’t it? But then you give it back and… it’s still the lord’s grain, isn’t it 🤷

    I want it to be like the Romeo and Juliet from the 90s with John Leguizamo, where it’s all modernized.

    Robin Hood is rocking an AR-15 and running crypto scams.

    My name is Robin Antifa Hood and I am stealing from the rich because I envy them and their protestant work ethic. I will die because I chose violence over debate. The wealthy will surround me and cry for my soul, with close-ups on their faces so that everyone knows they’re sad someone has to suffer.

    i hope they get hugh “huge jacked man” jackman down to like 3% body fat and so dehydrated we can see individual capilaries pulsing on his biceps while he draws the bow.

    i also hope they make RH ultraviolent and completely lacking in civility and moderation in his class war against the rich–meant to be an example of why we must remember the humanity of billionaires–backfiring and encouraging only more loathing.

    like how the true way to watch The Dark Knight Rises is as though its being remembered by an unreliable narrator and its really a tragic story about a hero named Bane.

    Robin Hood will turn out to be alive, echoing Princess Bride (“Only mostly dead”) and Thieves of the Wood (aka “De Bende Jan de Licht,” where the eponymous Robin Hood-like hero is assumed dead only to come back foe the last act).

    It may come in 2 parts including something like “The Rise of Robin Hood” if Hollywood has a lot.of confidence in it. NM, this is an A24 movie. It’s too artsy for sequels

    That said, I’ll wait a week and if the reviews are good, I’m watching it. I’m a sucker for Robin Hood

    Actually he was no angel 'cause he caused a lot of trouble for the burgher class and they were just simple small business owners
