Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Will in Scarlet is a 2013 retelling of the Robin Hood mythos by Matthew Cody. William, heir to Shackley House, has his life upended when he learned that his father, Lord Shackley, has been captured alongside King Richard during the Crusades. His life is further upended when the Sheriff, a former family friend, follows the path of political expediency, and sides with Prince John and Sir Guy of Gisbourne when the Shackley family refuses to acknowledge Prince John as the rightful ruler, and the ensuing fracas results in the death of his uncle, regent to the lordship. In the course of fleeing, Will is accosted by the "Merry Men" of Sherwood Forest, a group of outlaws, and joins them for survival, eventually allying with Little John, Much, and drunkard Rob, three of the more decent of the outlaws, plotting his revenge against the Sheriff and Sir Guy, taking up the name of Will Scarlet. In the course of attempting his revenge, he recognizes his noble obligation to his people, he starts directing this much smaller band into a more heroic pursuit of robbing the rich to feed the poor, all the while seeking his revenge on Sir Guy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Adaptation Personality Change: The Sheriff is less villainous than most adaptations, a commoner who knows that his only chance for survival is to back the current power. he countenances the Merry Man and other bandits as long as they avoid killing people in the forest, and avoid people who have paid protection fees. When Sir Guy begins sacking the surrounding farms, he lays siege to the castle to avoid further depredation. Much is a much more cynical, and less cheerful, character than in the adaptations, courtesy of having to disguise herself as a boy to survive. Rob, eventually Robin Hood, is a drunkard who only becomes heroic after Will's example. His backstory is that of a common portrayal of Alan O'Dale as the common man forbidden to marry his higher-born love, except that in this case he failed, which drove him to drink.
