A bit wimpish and middle class?

Well, it is yes, but it was made in an era of very-PC! So it comes across a bit sanitised and 'middle class'.

I think that Kip was inhibited by the censors- no depictions of firing at faces.

Very sanitised and scripted with 'pulled punches'?

Only Will and Nasir, and maybe John, were capable of a killing streak, the rest of it is wimpish and hippyish?



Except that they ALL kill people every week. At one point the show had the record for most killings in a daytime television show.
'Wimpish and hippyish' Like that makes sense.


A very pagan-based philosophy, which is totally inaccurate for the time, given that society was very God-fearing, and the script totally avoids Tuck's Christian teaching and Nasir's Islamic viewpoint is ignored!!


Its not out of keeping since the entire point is that the church has been corrupted by Hugo and the Sheriff. Robin and his men find solace in the old Gods of the forest. Christianity replaced Paganism just as the Normans replaced the Anglo Saxons. Its clear that Christianity is the state religion.


In reality, many more of the Sheriff's men would be slain coldbloodedly, and no ponsey 80's mercy?

What *beep* mercy. The merry men in this show killed more Normans than any other version of them did. The only time they didn't was when they had a specific reason not to. 'Pouncy 80's mercy' That made me laugh. I can guess what decade your from and its not the eighties.

"In reality, many more of the Sheriff's men would be slain coldbloodedly, and no ponsey 80's mercy? "

What reality?

First of all, you are basically saying people are not INDIVIDUALS, but 100% dictated by the era. How the hell do you know the 'reality' of these individual human beings in the fictional world depicted?

Secondly, so many ARE killed without any mercy, what are you talking about? How many more would have to be murdered for you to be happy?

Third, I don't know what 'ponsey' means, but you put the apostrophe in the wrong place. It's '80s, not 80's. It's not a possessive, it's a PLURAL, so why would you use apostrophe there? It's a year that's supposed to have other digits in it, the apostrophe is used for shortening and contractions (compare to 'they are' becoming 'they're' due to the apostrophe), so it is used for replacing the '19' so you don't have to write '1980s' every time.

Fourth, you are now assigning both 'coldbloodedliness' ('brutality', maybe? I am writing it this way to underline how silly your chosen word is, there's no such term as 'coldbloodedly' - usually people say 'in cold blood', for heaven's sake!) to a DECADE, not individual people's decisions and morality.

Why would the DECADE dictate how people behave? People are people, they're individuals, capable of making decisions for themselves regardless of the decade. There might be the idea that people are somehow more 'civilized' these days, but if you look at the world, you can realize this is not the case.

Fifth, why would you end your last, weird, badly written sentiment in a question mark, when it clearly isn't a question? Are you asking something, and if so, what? It looks to me you are making a statement, so why end it in a question mark? Do you understand english grammar AT ALL?

You also write incomplete sentences, put question marks all over the place, and use double exclamation point.

I suggest you research and learn a thing called 'proper punctuation', it might help.

Why are YOU so wimpish you don't dare make a statement without making it a question? Look at your title. Are you SAYING this show is 'a bit wimpish' (which bit?), what about it is specifically MIDDLE-CLASS, when class like that doesn't even exist in the world and era depicted, or are you CLAIMING this show is 'a bit wimpish'?

I would say this is one of the LEAST 'wimpish' Robin Hood depictions ever - it has a lot of killing, death, disease, pestilence, demonic rituals, satan-worshippers, animal torture, brutal deaths, torture, witchcraft, paganic magic, demonic possession, manhunts, anger, hatred, abuse of power, burning villages..

I mean, what about any of that seems wimpish to you?
