Is this so we don’t get any ideas? Turn Robin Hood into the bad guy. No, everyone, it’s bad to steal from the rich, oooh, look at this boogeyman to deter you! (Lol)
I’ve done a fair amount of research into old 'Binhead. He really was no hero a lot of the time. There is also no consistent plot in the ~700 years we’ve been writing stories about him. This one, Men in Tights, and Disney’s Foxy Fox version are all as accurate as the extremely pious catholic Gest of Robyn Hode and the extemely mercurial, murder hobo in Robin Hood and the Monk, where he just kills random passers-by for fun.
Absolutely, I wasn’t really putting forward commentary on “his” legitimacy or truth in retelling, I was more focusing on the fact that big corporations (that, as a sweeping generalisation are behind most of the world’s atrocities, currently) are trying to simultaneously give us bread and circuses to distract us, and take away our bread and circuses. Have you heard of the licensed critic? It’s when the “state” (usually the state responsible for whatever is happening) sanctions a “critic” to perform criticism of the current status quo that people are unhappy with, but within their boundaries and that criticism usually has no hope folded in to the end, to give the people a message to not try to rise up. Luigi, for instance, seems like a bit of a Robin hood (by legend, not the actual tale) they then make a “actually Robin Hood was the bad guy” movie. (I don’t debate it’s historical legitimacy) more that it seems like a very obvious “don’t get any ideas” by the powers that are currently trying to oppress us.
