Eat the Rich | |
Robyn Hood / int_2034121a | comment |
Eat the Rich: The Hood and the narrative are very much anti-wealthy. Even when they've solved the problem they robbed John Prince for (posting Robyn's bail), they almost immediately decide they should just keep robbing people. When John Prince is outraged at being assaulted and his car stolen, the sheriff blows off his concerns by pointing out he's getting a new Rolls Royce delivered soon. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
Robyn Hood / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: No one ever notices the Hood sneaking around in masks that have bright LED lights on them. The Sheriff doesn't hear Much loudly shout Robyn's name half a second after stepping out of Much's apartment. Robyn evades the police in Sherwood apartments by wearing her hood up, but still looks straight ahead and more than one officer looks directly at her face. Alan immediately takes off his staff uniform once he gets to Chet's party. Despite this, he gets leaves the building with a giant box and security doesn't question him when he says he's replacing Chet's throne. | |

Skewed Priorities | |
Robyn Hood / int_3d2c6d30 | comment |
Skewed Priorities: After Chet breaks a man's guitar and throws his promised payment in the air, the Hood's solution is to rob Chet (then later kidnap and assault him) to "teach him a lesson" rather than buy the man a new guitar with the money they've already stolen. The guests at Chet's birthday party are more interested in starring in a Hood music video than the fact that they were robbed during said video. | |

Kill the Poor | |
Robyn Hood / int_5111ff0 | comment |
Kill the Poor: Prince's mindset. He actually believes a general uprising of the "Lower Class" is coming and his interest in Sherwood is to destroy it and kill everyone who lives between it and the lake so he can build an "Impregnable City" for the wealthy. | |

Bat Deduction | |
Robyn Hood / int_56ff2e35 | comment |
Bat Deduction: Robyn figures out that an alleged social worker is really an undercover cop because "her people don't turn on each other", aka a black person shouldn't be supporting the police. She also determines that a rabbit costume means that said woman is the "monster" who tortured Tuck, even though there was no mention of a rabbit by anyone. Marian determines that John Prince has a far bigger and more sinister plot than simply buying Sherwood Towers and evicting the residents based on the fact that he, a land developer, owns a lot of land in the city. While she's correct, it's literally his job to own land. | |

Police Are Useless | |
Robyn Hood / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: When they aren't being portrayed as dirty cops (and often when they are), the sheriffs are considered completely incompetent and no one ever considers going to them, such as to report Guy Gisborne's crimes. Or when the Sheriff does such a poor job searching Much's apartment, that she doesn't even peek her head into other rooms, where Robyn is hiding just on the other side of the door frame. | |

Character Shilling | |
Robyn Hood / int_77552932 | comment |
Character Shilling: Almost no one can talk about the Hood without saying how incredible and amazing they are. This is especially notable with the Sheriff who will insist Robyn is smart, cunning, and has incredible loyalty of her people. In reality, it's the fact that Police Are Useless which has kept the Hood out of prison, especially as they upload music videos containing footage of their crimes and telling everyone where they live. | |

Robyn Hood / int_8a8f37f9 | comment |
Artistic License – Law Enforcement: Besides the various dirty cops, the Sheriff poisoning a fellow orphan was somehow written off as "an act of God", even though an unexplained and mysterious death like that would be investigated and the coroner would have easily realized the girl was poisoned. After arresting the Hood, the Sheriff handles Robyn's bow with her bare hands, thereby contaminating evidence, then breaks it over her knee, destroying the evidence. | |

Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop | |
Robyn Hood / int_a11f8240 | comment |
Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: The sheriffs are ridiculously incompetent and at times seem to be going out of their way to not find out the identities of the Hood gang, such as not taking a smashed drone back to review its footage or assuming that the woman who strangled and tied up a police officer had nothing to do with the gang but was instead rescued by them. Any time they're not completely failing at basic detective work, they're gleefully talking about shooting people or arresting teenagers for walking down the street. | |

Adaptational Backstory Change | |
Robyn Hood / int_ba46585b | comment |
Adaptational Backstory Change: In the original myth Sir Guy of Gisborne was the cousin of the Sheriff. Here he's just Guy Gisborne, petty criminal and gang boss with no familial ties to the Sheriff whatsoever. Though they do team up part way through season 1. King Richard the "Lion Heart" is a deceased community leader just called "Lionheart" who kept Sherwood's low income status from attracting crime and similar elements of typical poorer society. | |

Insane Troll Logic | |
Robyn Hood / int_c5f0119c | comment |
Insane Troll Logic: Robyn accuses Marian of working against Tressie and of John Prince being her "sugar daddy" because she's getting paid by the man and she found a photo of her, John, and another man when Marian was a little girl. Besides the fact that Marian has gotten Prince to drop the charges against Tressie, it's an incredible leap to assume John Prince is Marian's sugar daddy due to a family photo from when Marian was a small child. A social worker assumes that one of Tressie's friends is the Hood because "she's close to Robyn's mom and that her being shot must have pushed her over the edge". At no point does she consider, that Robyn has that exact same motivation and is closer to her mother than a casual acquaintance. | |
