Ngl I find Robin Hood endlessly fascinating because there is a folk hero buried in there that actually slaps, but it's so hard to make it work in a way that is historically convincing i.e. how does 'rob from the rich, give to the poor' work under feudalism? Disney squared the circle by making it a story about the evils of taxing peasants of their (checks notes)... gold coins, and the sad thing is that's basically as close as anyone has come to getting it right. Maybe after the revolution we'll get a decent Robin Hood adaptation idk

stealing food back? i don't think americans are literate enough to understand a different kind of economy and that's one of the reasons we always get fantasy medieval capitalism.

Yeah it would have to be grain or something, wouldn't it? But then you give it back and... it's still the lord's grain, isn't it 🤷
