Technically there is many bandits who stealing from if not downright fighting oppressive lords help local populations (beside Rogue Hood I also know Slavic Janosik, but there is way more then that). But it rarely was due to noble values though some peasant rebellions were also morally justified. Anyway this detail become vogue during modern times, so it was simplified "stealing from the rich and giving to poor" instead more proper "stealing from nobility, what they steal from you on the fist place, but at the same time you are the poor for who you stealing it back, so it isn't also not exactly that noble itself".

Watching this again a year later, I think we all forgot the very important factor that Robin Hood sits very comfortably in a position where he can fit into literally anyone's moral code. Religious? Robin Hood fits. Anti-Taxation or hate big government? Robin Hood fits. Don't like authority figures? Robin Hood fits. Patriotic despite the government? Robin Hood fits. I don't know a single person who dislikes Robin Hood because you can reasonably fit him into almost every world view. I've seen well thought out arguments that this dude would, in modern day, be a libertarian, a communist, a conservative, a liberal, even a monarchist or authoritarian due to his opposition to bad kings in favor of good ones. I don't think a figure exists that is so malleable he can fit into almost any world view in a positive light outside of Jesus Christ.

I remember reading a book when I was little that was a retelling of Robin Hood called 'The Outlaws of Sherwood'. In this one, Robin is more of a normal kid, still smart, but with really bad luck. He's an orphan and was training to be one of the king's foresters in Sherwood Forest, but some of the other guys are dicks to him and one day they head him off on the way home and challenge him to a shooting contest. In this version, Robin really isn't a great shot, (which is why they're challenging him: just so they can pick on him about losing), but he ends up winning the contest. The loser then attacks him and Robin shoots him out of self-defense, meaning to just scare him and/or wound him, but accidentally shoots him through the heart. So now he's on the run. Much and Marion help him out and they go from there. Marion is the mastermind behind all of the workings of their little village in Sherwood and she is the one that goes to the archery tournament later on and splits the arrow, disguised as Robin literally to rub it in the Sheriff's face that he hasn't caught any of them yet. It was a really good book!

I've actually realised that throughout the changes of narrative with Robin Hood, his adoration for the Virgin Mary essentially splits up into Marian and King Richard. Marian, as this fair lady that Robin has extreme respect for. While Richard, who as a monarch is appointed by God and vested with divine authority, as well as being known for reclaiming the Holy Land, is constantly seen by Robin as this symbol of God's benevolence and might.

I wonder how “palatable” writers really needed to make Robin Hood in the early 1500s considering that the king of England (Henry VIII) at the time was a fanboy who liked to cosplay him (definitely happened in 1510 when he surprised Queen Catherine, pretty sure he was also cosplaying Robin Hood in his disastrous first meeting of Anne of Cleaves).

King Arthur comes back from his healing centuries on the isle of the fae to see that Britain is in a sorry state with robber barons and callous kings and sherrifs who care little for their people. Without his usual resources, any clue who might be descendants of his Knights and no sign of Merlin, he assembles a new circle of allies to try and knock the authority down a peg. The consistent joke is that he keeps claiming to be King Arthur but noone takes it seriously, not even his own Merry Men.

I think an interesting thing that could have been mentioned in this video is: the lore surrounding robin hood may _still_ be changing, several of the newer adaptations (movies/TV series) include robin having fought in the crusades himself (this usually being the reason for his loyalty to lionheart), sometimes leading to a new character we see more and more often: a saracen ends up joining the merry men

While Robin Hood falls more into the proprietary of pop culture paganism than anything, I do find the interpretation of him as fae or a trickster god rather intriguing. Like, I can absolutely see that interpretation, and want to wish anyone who does place him into that role a very pleasant day. But also, why do I now want a story where he just happens upon and hangs out with Loki?

I had an idea for a version of _Robin Hood_ that has Robin and Marian meeting as young children. It was known that the Fae had taken a child with Fae blood into the forest, and some knight went in and took that child back to the human world. That child grew up to be Maid Marian, while the Fae child she had been the playmate of became Robin Hood. Except at the end of the story, it’s revealed that Marian had been a full Fae all along, and _Robin_ had been the half-fae child brought the forest for her. When Robin Hood is killed by the monk, it’s only his human half that dies, causing him to become a full Fae like Marian. The two return to Faerie for good, along with all the Merry Men who don’t feel like they belong in the human world anymore.

Meanwhile I can never abandon the feeling that Prince John got the short end of the rope. He was the guy that introduce innovation to economics, managing to fund a very costly war while reclaiming Normandy, while his brother spent his entire reign doing crusades, getting capchured (later to be bought out by John) and generally wasting his kingdom's money

So, in other words, Robin Hood is popular, and has managed to remain popular for so long, for roughly the same reason that Touhou Project is popular and has had such amazing staying power: We've got good framework characters, but stories that, even in-universe, are pretty loosely defined, encouraging story tellers to tell _their_ stories of the characters involved and their adventures.

Having gone back after watching some of the trope talks it's neat to see the 5 man band as a core concept for Robin Hood with only John being the one really defined into a Powerhouse/Lancer combo.

The hilarious thing about Robin Hood's popularity is that, from the stories I've read, he really wasn't robbing in order to to give to the poor. Sure, he had a big heart, and he would often go way out of his way to help total strangers, but he was robbing the rich for money (and also because he was a restless scoundrel). It's just that he was smart enough to spread enough of that wealth around that all of the locals "super couldn't find his hideout" and "totally hadn't seen him pass through just now." Madlad.

Thank you for your sacrifice, now pay the king. Medieval tax collection was closer to a mob shakedown than anything else.

Additionally, Robin Hood was a yeoman awaiting for the return of the "good" King Richard. Trying to disassociate from the government of the time as a yeoman would seems a bit too libertarian for a modern socialist to me. And being PRO-monarchy? Being against the Prince "revolutionising" how England was run up to this point with his taxes and fellow corrupt allies in the palaces and churches? That's unacceptable says the communist stooge, to the gulag with you! Robin Hood is not a socialist hero, even when you divorce him from the nobleman of Loxley background.

@@thedotintheletteri lmao I can relate to this... My teacher said jokingly that you could make your paper one word I wrote that down It was the first day I wrote one word.

Something I think should be known, as I personally find it quite interesting... See, Robin Hood is an amazing folk tale, with an amazing set of characters... But I wanted to find out just WHO Robin Hood was. Where did his story start? What led to the creation of the character of Robin Hood? Well, I ended up learning this... From a very unlikely source. So, do you know the game "Persona 5"? In it, the main characters actually have these powers that come from these things called- well- Personas that emerge from their soul. Normally, they're based on deities, but in Persona 5, they're first based on fictional characters that were well known thieves, as that fit the theme of the game. Normally, in the games, there was this thing known as 'Awakening', where the Persona would effectively evolve, becoming something completely different. In this case, they would become deific figures who, in some way shape or form, had been to hell and got out safe and sound. Susano'o, Anat, Son Wukong (referred to by his alias, Saiten Taisei), and so on. However, in Persona 5 Royal, there were third awakenings, which not only provided remastered looks for the previous Personas, but also the original names of the characters that became the fictional thieves from before. For example, one such character uses Captain Kidd as his Persona, who eventually becomes the aforementioned Saiten Taisei, who then evolves into William, Obviously referring to the pirate William Kidd. One such character started out using the Persona of Robin Hood, and in his third awakening, the Persona becomes someone known has 'Hereward'. This interested me, so I did some digging... Appaerently, the story of Robin Hood POSSIBLY began with an Anglo-Saxon by the name of Hereward the Wake (yes, his Epithet is 'The Wake'. Do with that what you will), a nobleman who lead the resistance against the Norman Conquest of England, which lead to him becoming an outlaw in England. Now, I say POSSIBLY, because we don't actually KNOW if this is true. We just know that he is the most prominent take on the rebellious soldier in the area at that time, and what with the existence of William the Conqueror at the time, the idea isn't so farfetched.

The flexibility of RH's character and the stories that have sprung therefrom reminds of a very cheap film about (the now elderly) Robin Hood's child with Maid Marian, who must rescue him from one final attempt at vengeance by the disgraced, former Sheriff of Nottingham. It was a bad movie, but there was one scene in it I absolutely loved. The ex-Sheriff has Robin on the rack, torturing him for the sheer thrill of it. Robin remains stoically silent, refusing to give him the satisfaction. At one point, he starts croaking incoherently. The Sheriff leans closer, gleefully expecting Robin to beg for his life. Robin instead whispers, "You have egg in your beard."

I think one of my favourite renditions of Robin Hood in all the media I know of/have consumed is the way he is in the Fate series, mostly because thing where no one knows the true definitive story about him is a BIG THING for his character. When "Robin Hood" is summoned into the modern world, the character that is gotten is just some guy who fit the description (wears green, good at archery, veigly British) and went by the name "Robin Hood" for a certain period of time. This Robin Hood doesn't have anything to do with the Sheriff of Nottingham or any of the allies that Robin is known for having, all because the concept of Robin Hood is so ingrained in british culture that any green-cloaked thief who lives in the woods and is a good archer was just called Robin Hood.

MrSamulai you seem to not know the difference between highlighting a joke from the video and taking credit for a joke from the video. You have my pity 😏

Leverage really is a modern adaption of Robin Hood, isn’t it? Not just with the ‘steal from the rich’ thing, but Nate coming from the elite originally only to leave when they failed him and bringing the whole team together. Sophie is Marian, Elliot is Little John, Hardinson is Alan-A-Del, and Parker is Will Scarlet (or maybe Much as she’s kinda childish). And Stirling pretty much plays the role of the sheriff

It’s weird how people take the Robin Hood metaphor and say stuff like capitalism sucks I kind of took it the other way as in Story of Robin Hood there’s a story about the corruption of the government and that people should be able to forge their own destinies

It's weird because capitalism and Robin Hood are about 400 years apart and I agree it's about government corruption too.

Let's not overlook the obvious: part of the fun of Robin Hood is that he's really really really good at a cool skill. That also explains the appeal of Hawkeye and Green Arrow, who have the additional coolness factor of being really really really good at an OBSOLETE skill and still besting people with modern weaponry.
