you're ignoring the point, no one who uses "Robin Hood" as a descriptor is using it to mean that the character is doing anything but Robbing Rich People and Giving It To Poor People.

you're ignoring the point, which is that if you do the side quests in the right order and get enough points plus reputation score there's a grainy 16 bit mspaint pic of maid marian with her top off during the end credits

Ready Player One's plot, beyond the shallow nostalgia stuff, is basically anti-capitalism from a pro-capitalist viewpoint. It's what they used to call "anti-commercialism" in the 90s. This capitalism is bad in that it's a perversion of true capitalism, which is only the good parts and none of the bad stuff.

the characters are trying to prevent a corporation (bad) from taking over and monetizing a system produced by an entrepreneur (good)

It's the idea that original founders are simply plucky geniuses trying to fulfill their dreams on a wing and a prayer who would never DREAM of exploiting their life's work to enrich themselves, and all the exploitation of capitalism comes from other people who entrepreneurs hate. They're fighting bad capitalism in the name of good capitalism. The problems are bad, but their causes are very good.

there's a lot going on in the RP1 movie but mostly it reminds me that people are in denial about the inevitability of confrontations with capital and are also in denial about how all facets of reality are being abstracted from our perceptions in the west

House of Quark is fantastic, if only for the scene of Quark talking a bunch of bored Klingons through spreadsheets to convince them that someone had committed dishonorable financial crimes

all the poo poo regarding loyalty to Kings was added later iirc, the first incarnations were all about Robin returning from the crusades to find his home seized by the Sheriff of Nottingham. like most people, Robin cared about politics because he was made to care about it by being hosed in the rear end by it

Follows the same arc as the Rambo movies. Unwanted veteran transmogrified into a super soldier for elite derangements.

It’s hilarious that even the Klingons have a better society than ours because they consider the powerful using finance to screw over people to be so dishonorable it gets them unpersoned, whereas we would give them a promotion and stock buybacks.

Of course assuming the Robin Hood story really is contemporary to the time it's usually set in i.e. during King John of England's reign than the author actually is an idiot. From literally the day Richard's predecessor died he taxed the living poo poo out of England lol. First for the crusade, then he got his dumb rear end captured by some Austrian and they had to raise his huge ransom, and then he spent the entire rest of his reign milking money from England to wage unending wars against King Phillipe of France and his own extremely pissed off vassals. If anything John was an improvement because he immediately lost the war

i see so what youre saying is that king richard was the medieval english version of obama and king john was the medieval english version of trump
