Once again why not just create an original show. I used to think the race swap trend would fade out over time. Boy was I wrong. I’d rather read the real adventures of Robin Hood. Heck, Robin Hood Men in Tights would be more accurate than this. And that was funny at least. This will be either lecture on sexism, racism, or both along with evil white men.
They wanted to show the real life of a hoodrat but needed to make her a Noble Black to fulfill their rich, white entitled audience. Look for her to lecture and watch over a white woman.
Of course it is. This is why I laugh when people say “you freak out over a black character”. I’m like no, I roll my eyes over the 500th race/gender swap along with the same story about racism.
It should be pointed out that the story of Robin Hood was originally about a drunk guy who swindled his way around folks. Then the authorities got sick of it and began to tell stories about him actually being of noble birth, and falling in love with two women -separate towns had festivals in his honor and gave him a different woman to fall in love with. Almost the entire story is propaganda that the nobility is best, even when being an outlaw.
They all missed the point. They think it was robbing the rich and giving to the poor. It was actually robbing the government of tax money and returning it to those who were taxed into poverty.
Such a story is not allowed to exist in the current statist world.
That’s the thing. You can take inspiration and make a new show. Two successful examples are Everybody Hates Chris and Goldbergs which are two shows inspired by Wonder Years. So when they made a black wonder years I was like you already had two shows with that premise
The only way a modern reimagining would work, is if it were only the most minimal of reimaginings.
Modern time frame, but the person is an anti-tax "taxation is theft" type. They can even be a female hoodrat, as long as that is true.
But all the main story beats need to be there:
Robin is falsely accused of crime. Given modern era, a false rape accusation would fit nicely.
Robin comes back from prison to a much worse area than before. Self-explanatory.
Robin finds the government is corrupt through theft of his/her own stuff, and stories he/she hears from others. Maybe a "cash for guns" gone wild that repossessed property held in private residence unwillingly, or eminant domain-ing people's houses.
Robin assembles a squad to fight the government. Maybe it can be on January Sixth for the lols.
Robin holds an uprising, and kills the government officers in charge of the local area. The question arises of if they should expand their mission.
"Proper" governance comes in, and says "good work killing those corrupt government officials, that is the proper way to deal with government officials that you disagree with" and then, noting Robin's past as an elite/leader, puts him/her in charge as a reward for killing government officials.
...You know, somehow I don't think Robin Hood will ever get remade with the same story beats as the original...
That could actually be interesting. I would add in that she stumbles across a book from Sowell as well as Robin Hood. She could raise funds to rebuild destroyed businesses and work on getting jobs and encouraging nuclear family. Yes that is a pipe dream. Lol

Feminism cannot create, it can only corrupt or destroy.
Strange that it never targets stories central to sexist countries and religions (eg koran or the middle east)
They only seem to target the west!
For a country to exist, it needs its culture. Its beliefs, folklore, it's history. This type of rewriting is about destroying that culture.
No arguments from me. It just cracks me up that they get so outraged when you suggest they make their own stories

Brand recognition is their only hope for viewership.
Because no one would watch it. The only way to get viewers is to lie to them.
All the merry men will be gay. They'll have big orgies in Sherwood Forest.
Inb4 monkey pox.
I despise the term reimagine as well as “updated for a modern audience”

this has been happening since the legend began.
Rob from the rich and poor.
We wuz thieves N shiet
Ah yes, nothing makes me happier than seeing an 800 year old cultural artifact being pissed all over.
Un fucking real. Disgusting. I am livid.
I didn't even realize Global made original TV content anymore.
They must have some grant money to burn.
They are essentially fake news and simulcasting American garbage shows.

Good point.
We already have a series about modern Robin Hoods. It's called Leverage.

Robin Hood as a hood rat? Dumb.
How can this be real
So what else is new? The ruling class is gutting your literature and art to make it conform to woke ideology.
You are being replaced, and not so gradually, either.
Black girl stealing shit...someone's been watching surveillance camera footage.
Race and gender swap. Clever.
All the race baiters will fight with the people who are correct about what's going on and nothing will get solved.
Pretty sure "Robbin' the 'Hood" was already a movie decades ago.
