After four episodes of stepping up and sticking their noses in at the slightest bother, suddenly the Hood is like 'Ah, we can't do something when only one person is getting affected' after a white guy (who, compared to everyone else in the show, actually looks like he's facing poverty) gets assaulted and mugged by the Prince's son. I see what you're doing there, show.

Subtle as a brick to the face.
 
I love how dumb this show is.

"Huh, I wonder why my boyfriend is acting so weird after I dry humped and made out with another person."

"These cookies are delicious, is the woman upstairs a baker?" "No. She cleans toilets in one of YOUR properties!" She says it with such distain, like Prince having sanitation workers is some sort of sin.

"If I came to your house and offered you a shit ton of money and a better home to leave, would you?" "Yes?" "That's because you're ALONE and don't understand community!"

Seriously, the mom looks like an ass here. She's given two options: Sell the land under the condition that the Prince pays for everybody in Sherwood to get better housing elsewhere, or shit on his offer and get everyone evicted next week when he buys the land legally. She's willing to force everyone into homelessness, without even consulting them on the matter, for the sake of her 'community pride'.

Prince is a greedy bastard, but he comes out looking reasonable when any mild statement is immediately met with a hostile outburst from the mum.

They can't do anything about the armed criminal who extorted the entire community with threats of violence a week ago, and is the man who murdered the guy the entire festival is dedicated to, because "This is Lionheart day, anyone's welcome."

Complains about corruption and coercion in the same breath as basically bribing the police to drop an investigation into criminal activity.

"I stole your memory stick, and I'm appalled." "You found out my dad worked for Prince and eventually killed himself?" "I found out you were rich. Ew!"

"You lied to use and you used us." You literally did the same thing at the same time? You used each other to get shit from Prince without being honest about your motives?

Literally records themselves committing crimes and rapping about robbing people. Surprised that people call them a gang.

"This is all a set up. If we remove the three criminal assholes who are obviously harassing everyone at the festival, we'll somehow come out the bad guys! So let's appear as the hood... The criminals they're hunting."

"If she's not going to be reasonable, I can just walk out. I know I can get enough votes for the bill to be passed." "And I can just veto the bill." ...Can a Mayor do that? And if she can, why the fuck is Prince an issue here?

Oh my god, they're literally having a rap battle to settle this and it becomes a riot.
 
It’s never a good sign when your villains look like the beater people than the ones you’re supposed to root for.

It does make it very hilarious though, especially with how the director acts.
 
I recently re-watched the Kevin Costner Robin Hood film from 1990, & I was considering the Sheriff being one of the few things closest to a positive in this show, mainly because I think the actress is actually trying to wrangle herself somehow through this retarded show with what she's given & I have a thing for redheads (I believe the correct term would be "Pumpkin Pounder").

Now I that re-watched Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, I remembered that we hit the peak kino in Sheriff of Nottingham already with Alan Rickman.
 
Another thing that doesn't make sense is that the show plays off the meeting as a part of Prince's plan to make Sherwood look bad (which will get Article X approved... Which, now that I think about it, the show hasn't told us what this new bill even is, just that it allows the Prince to buy Sherwood), by keeping Black Mommy Jesus busy so she won't somehow stop Sherwood's inhabitant from reacting appropriately to a violent murderous thug harassing their festival. Yet, the entire conversation plays out as Prince trying to conclude their business as quickly as possible, only slowed down because the mother keeps drawing every interaction out with petty bickering and additional demands. Shouldn't their roles be switched if his plan is to draw this out?

Your first mistake was applying logic to a show made by a man who expects to be called “Director X” and be taken seriously.
 
More content from JLongbone(she’s has recorded for episode two and three).
 
Welp, this director is trying to make the rounds on different critics' streams. He was on Yellowflash's not too long ago.
 
I'm still absolutely thrown by Robyn's explanation for how she got $30,000 in the first episode. She said Sherwood came together and she "just had to pass the jar around." Considering the only jar we've heard of at that point was the condom jar, Robyn's implying she just whored herself out to get the money. Even if we're generous and say these people living in the (Canadian) ghetto are willing to throw down $200 because they know it's for a "good" cause, she'd still have to fuck at least 150 people within the day or so it took her to get that money.

I vaguely recall seeing a Twitter post many years ago that said something along the lines of "When I see a homeless white man, I'm like, 'how'd you fuck up privilege?'"

If a white man is struggling, it's because he didn't redeem his privilege tokens.

I believe there's been some sort of shift in recent years, at least in Hollywood.
Back in the day, Gene Roddenberry, a man who never failed to take unfair advantage of people for money, was nevertheless able to write highly-moral and respectable characters. 21st Century writers aren't able to do that. Gina Carano said Kathleen Kennedy can't do Star Wars because Kennedy is more like Palpatine.
So, inevitably, their villains are better humans than their protagonists.
The only explanation I have is Universal dismantled the Phantom of the Opera set, unleashing a powerful curse.

Crazy how the Disney furry version of Robin Hood is more respectable than whatever…this is supposed to be.

I'd say the 50s Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon also did a better job tackling Robin Hood.

Lovecraft Country was like that too, I just think Black people have a totally different sense of morality. Everything is us vs. them, so even White people who materially help Black people need to be killed.

Seeing the map for the season 2 that never happened was such a trip.
