Not ONE person in the UK will watch this, just like what happened to the race-swapped Anne Boleyn which hardly anyone watched in the UK. A lot of people were angry when Channel 4 did that documentary last year saying that it was historically inaccurate and deeply offensive. Imagine if they had race swapped Nelson Mandela? There’d be an outcry!
Robin Hood is my second favourite British legend. I can only HOPE that they don’t go anywhere NEAR King Arthur next.
How insecure do people have to be to need to steal characters and change everything about them so they can self-insert themselve in the story
I’ve been asking this myself for years. The only time I want to see a self insert is in fan fiction. NOT on the screen. I’m female yet there are many male characters out there that I like and admire and want to be like or can relate to. A character doesn’t have to look exactly like you in order for you to like and respect them.
So, if anyone wants to watch a seriously GOOD Robin Hood show, the BBC made a series that ran for three seasons back in the mid-2000s. Really fun show, though it did decline a little in the last season. Give a shot, if you’re able!
I’ll stay with the classic:

@DragonLady, same, most characters i can relate to are male
The first female character i saw on screen that i could relate to was Gamora, and she’s green!
More lazy crap? Well, that’s pretty much what I’ve come to expect these days. I guess if I was to try finding something positive in this thing, it’s that it may be so bad, that it could be fun to watch others ridicule it.
I’ve been meaning to watch his version for years lol. It’ll always be the Disney and Kevin Costner versions of Robin Hood for me!
I think the real question is, what new show ISN’T woke?
