| Robin Hood (2018) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Robin has one when he returns and finds Locksley Manor in ruins and Marian with Will. Again later when the carnage of his revolt reminds him too much of the slaughter of the Crusades, and he gives himself up to prevent further bloodshed. | |

Improvised Zipline: At the mines, Robin jumps off an elevated walkway and hooks his bow over a conveniently placed rope; sliding down it to land in the back of John's wagon. | |

Darker and Edgier: Downplayed. While the film have some darkness to it, this version isn't nearly as "gritty" as the 2010 adaptation starring Russell Crowe. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Robin Hood (2018) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The uniforms Robin and other soldiers wear during the Crusades look like medieval versions of the flak jackets and khaki fatigues commonly worn by modern western soldiers in the Middle East. The way they draw their bows are also not dissimilar to how said soldiers hold assault rifles, automatic crossbows resembling machinegun fire and bundled arrow launchers evoking rocket-propelled grenades. Also, the Sheriff of Nottingham is introduced giving a speech which greatly resembles George W. Bush's "they hate our freedoms" speech. Then there's the ending; a number of common citizens wearing hoods and masks, hurling molotov cocktails at soldiers who appear to be wearing riot gear... Robin Hood, agent of ANTIFA? | |

| Robin Hood (2018) / int_1a5bba2b | comment |
Artistic License – Geology: In mines located directly across the river from Nottingham, the locals seem to be mining and smelting iron. This seems incredibly unlikely as Nottingham is built upon sandstone. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Robin Hood (2018) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Will Scarlet is portrayed much more negatively than prior incarnations, with his desire to make things better for the people of Nottingham being motivated by a desire to raise himself to the high classes through playing the political game rather than genuine concern. His main reaction to Marian uncovering the Sheriff's dealings with the Arabians is to rant that she'll ruin everything for him. This, and his jealousy over Marian and Robin's connection eventually leads him to pull a Face–Heel Turn and become the new Sheriff of Nottingham. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Robin Hood (2018) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Rather than approaching it with a straightforward form of "realism" à la the 2010 film, this adaption goes for a deliberately stylized approach to the Robin Hood myths, transplanting several modern concepts and designs in the setting, including rapid-fire ballistas, medieval vests made to resemble modern flak jackets, bandana-wearing and Molotov cocktail-throwing rebels, printed draft letters, etc. | |

Marian has no such compunctions and smashes his face in with a rock. | |

Smoke and Fire Factory: It's not clear what they are mining in Nottingham (although it is implied to iron, which raises its own issues), but the process requires sending blasts of fire skywards at regular intervals. Lack of even the most rudimentary safety measures can probably be Handwaved as it being the middle ages. | |

Greater-Scope Villain | |
| Robin Hood (2018) / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: Weirdly, not Prince John. The Church, specifically the Cardinal, are the force driving the Sheriff to greater acts of extorting the population as the film goes on. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
| Robin Hood (2018) / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: An interesting variant, in that while Robin plays this straight when he's pretending to be an uncaring, arrogant toff to Marian and Will, when he's with the Sheriff he dials it down enough that while he's still playing subservient he looks a lot more competent and helpful than the Sheriff's other lackeys - which, as he aims to get in the Sheriff's good graces enough to uncover his plan, is exactly the point. | |

Christianity Is Catholic | |
| Robin Hood (2018) / int_a8a5e4ed | comment |
Christianity is Catholic: Justified, since the story takes place in England centuries before Martin Luther was born and when Roman-Catholicism was the state-mandated religion in many West European countries, including England. However, due to the extreme Anachronism Stew, the audience might be mistaken into assuming that the movie takes place well after 1534, when the Church of England was founded. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Robin Hood (2018) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: The Sheriff at one point reveals a little of his backstory to Robin, noting that the fathers of the lords he so despises used to beat him and the other boys in his school while drunk on brandy, even sending them out to buy the canes with which they'd receive further beatings. The future sheriff realised he could either let them beat the strength out of him, or beat the strength into him. | |

The Unpronounceable: John's true name is Yahya ibn Umar (Yahya son of Umar), and when Robin has trouble saying "Yahya", he just tells Robin to call him the equivalent in English, "John". Much the same happens with Tuck later. | |

Artistic License – Politics | |
| Robin Hood (2018) / int_e3bdea5c | comment |
Artistic License – Politics: The position of Sheriff in medieval England was appointed by the King himself or whoever was currently ruling in his place (i.e. Prince John or Eleanor of Aquitaine, the Queen mother). It was most definitely not a position appointed by the church. Robin is a "lord," but the filmmakers mostly seem to use that term of mean that he's rich, not that he rules over territory. He's got more money than the peasants, but like them, he's subject to the country's bad laws...with no acknowledgment that, in a feudal system, he'd be the one enforcing those laws on the king's behalf. | |

Composite Character | |
| Robin Hood (2018) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Jamie Foxx's casting as Little John has caused some to question the realism of a black man being in England in The High Middle Ages, but this version of the character is explained to have Moorish background. In other words, he's a mashup of the traditional Little John with the modern trend of having a Moorish/Saracen member of the Merry Men, as seen in modern Robin Hood works starting with Robin of Sherwood, cemented by Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and continued by other adaptations like the BBC's Robin Hood. It's worth noting that he's not the only black person shown: there are multiple amongst the downtrodden of Nottingham. | |
