Thomas McDonald’s Reviews > The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood > Status Update

I get that this could very well just be the tone that this retelling is taking but… this is funny! People trying to give us a dark gritty Robin Hood have lost the plot. Robin’s getting chased up trees by Tuck’s dogs and having flower thrown in his eyes.

I find it hilarious that most of the merry men’s origins are that Robin picked a fight with a stranger on the road- that stranger beat the CRAP out of him- and then he respects them so much that he gives them a job.

Robin teaches the sheriff a lesson that perhaps needs to be retaught to the rich now- make sure your servants are fed or they’ll rob you blind.
