I remember my grandmother telling me, I don’t care what they tell you in school, Robin Hood is a red fox.

I just can’t get over the fact the best way to “combat racism” is to make a show about black people stealing. I’m dead😂

Prince John is the Hero in this series. He is using his money to legally acquire property to make the city a better place; and get rid of the, lazy, violent, criminal element.

I think that it’s an utterly genius idea to make unique costumes to hide your identity in your rap videos and then wear those same costumes while committing crimes.

"Let's fight the stereotypes!" *Has black people stealing* You can't make this shit up

Remember, guys, the mom who got shot and paralyzed from the waist down was declared a “flight risk” 😂

One thing I think a lot of people miss interpret about Robin Hood is he's not an anarchist, he's a patriot. His crimes aren't just in protest of an unjust government. They're in protest of an unjust rule of prince John while the good king, the real king, Richard is away in the crusades. The when king Richard returns and deposes John robin hood stops being a criminal and pledges his loyalty to king Richard.

I’m German-American of old Prussian stock but seeing an Irishman defend an English folk tale tells me everything I need to know about who the real enemies of humanity are.

It's amazing that Disney's animated _Robin Hood,_ which portrays the characters as anthropomorphic animals, and my introduction to the English legend as an Asian, is more faithful to the source than... whatever this show is supposed to be.

As a Canadian, I want to apologize on behalf of my people for subjecting the world to this atrocity.

Speaking as an English guy from Nottingham, can I complain about cultural appropriation? Robyn Hood is clearly stealing and corrupting an old English folk hero and legend

The whole “see myself” and representation thing bothers me because I have to wonder: how self absorbed does someone need to be to need to see themselves in everything?

I can't think of a single woman in my family who would actively encourage their daughters to engage in shameless, promiscuous behavior by keeping a "condom jar" filled for them. I get that as a parent you'll have to accept that your post-pubescent kids are going to be having sex at some point, but still, outright enabling them to be as hoor-ish as possible by providing them endless free condoms is just creepy.

Every single person involved in the creation of this show deserves to be in a scientific study on how you can survive with literal no brain activity.

I like how the show immediately has our protagonist : Trespass on private property Refuse to obey lawful commands by a peace officer Violently resist arrest Assault a Police Officer Destroy public property and the reason for doing these things : selfish attention seeking online but she is the good guy, I swear

i love that even in their wildest fantasies the father never sticks around lmao.

Ive never been so ashamed to be a Canadian. Considering that Trudeau has been in office for 8 years, that is really saying something.

I’m so glad you brought up the history of these brutalist “project” housing buildings, as it adds to the irony of a woke black director finding pride in keeping black communities stuck in these concrete cells, never aspiring to anything more.

"Permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere". The Thanos audio was perfect. What an insane thing for a company the size of Apple to record and publish

When somebody says authentically black what they mean is ghetto, there’s a difference I’m African-American, and I don’t act like anything I’ve seen in here. It’s so disgusting to see people say that.

Films updated for a modern audience checklist: - Main character has to check all the diversity boxes -Villain is always a straight white man or woman -Conflict revolves around defeating the patriarchy, or anything to do with homophobia, transphobia, racism, fatphobia, bigotry, etc. -Constant reminders that the show or movie actually hates their audience -Constant meta humor and commentary that doesn’t make it any funnier -“First ever character that is ______.” For the 466775421199754th time -No real story is present, instead the entire thing is just political propaganda -No one falls in love anymore, because in modern times true love doesn’t exist -Every female is a corporate ladder climbing girlboss who doesn’t want kids or a man

It really says alot when Director X seems to make the main cast almost every Black Stereotype out there. Reminds me of that one episode of the Fresh Prince where Carlton was treated poorly because he didn't act stereotypically black and he said "Being black isn't what I'm trying to be it's what I am." Effectively saying he's black as in that's his skin color and he can't change that, but that shouldn't dictate how he should act. Really feels like people have forgotten that just cause you have a certain skin color doesn't mean you have to act a certain way. Director X clearly forgot that.

'Angry nerd community' yes I am sure legends/mythology and historical literature scholars and lovers appreciate being called angry nerds lmao

I should point out that the bail system doesn't even work like that in Canada, it's recognizance based one. Basically, you don't need to put up the money to be released, but someone bailing you out is responsible for your behavior and will have to pay if they don't report you violating conditions. You can even be released on your own recognizance, basically walking out on your own word.

Holy shit, Alan Rickman did more acting in those last 5 seconds than anyone did over the entire runtime of Robyn Hood

Note also that while the white characters are the main villains (with the son possibly being just a jackass), the East Asians are depicted as willing accomplices in white supremacy. Director X is as subtle as a middle schooler.

robbing in the hood: netflix edition

Why do all these "black led" films and dramas always portay the "black community" as living in projects/Tower blocks and struggling?

As a black man, I wanted to do a review and destroy this show and Director X's narrative, but I just don't have the time. Thank you for this video, everyone should see it. You have a new subscriber.

If you're old enough to remember when Kevin Costner's "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" was released, you might recall that it was widely criticized as a soulless, Hollywood blockbuster version of a beloved English folk tale, which had been Americanized and turned into an action film so that the story was sufficiently "updated for modern audiences." It was financially successful but critically panned, or at least the reviews were very lukewarm. And especially considering that "Robin Hood" followed closely after Kevin Costner's financially successful and critically beloved "Dances With Wolves," the film was considered a rather poor vehicle for the world's most popular actor and director at the time. Oh, and the accents. Kevin Costner's choice to, apparently, try to speak with an English accent for some lines, and in his usual Midwestern twang for others was the source of much humor. But Costner sounded like a Richard Burton doing Hamlet at The Old Vic compared to Christian Slater's Will Scarlet. Anyway, the point is that there was a time when "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" was considered a not very good adaptation of the Robin Hood story. I know it's hard to believe a film that today looks like a minor masterpiece was seen as a slightly embarrassing American/Hollywood bastardization of a classic tale, but that's how good movies and TV shows used to be, and how audiences expected them to be. We didn't know how great we had it.

His folktale knowledge is also bad, Richard the Lionheart was at war in the crusades, Prince John was the ruler in his absence

I remember my black transgender grandpa telling me, I don't care what they tell you in school, crusaders were trans.

The actress playing the evil top cop is at least committed to her role 100% Respect!

Ah so this is what they call ‘cultural appropriation’ then? When this was raised, I believe the Director said that ‘nobody cares about Robin Hood’. Well, we do. It’s part of our heritage. Love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Who is the lady with the ridiculously deep voice on TEDMED? I forgot her name.

why they keep doing this to us. GIVE BLACK FOLKS THEIR OWN SHOW NOT A FILL IN OR WOKE CAST FOR YOUR AGENDA.

I laughed out loud at the flight risk thing. I literally spot my tea laughing. A middle aged woman, paralyzed, handcuffed to a hospital bed, with life long roots in the area and absolutely zero funds to go anywhere, is a flight risk. 😂

This show isn't the drama we want... It's the comedy we need.

The absolute most underrated and under subscribed channel I have found. I have absolutely ZERO interest in TV and Movie reviews. This video automated after some stories I was listening to and if my hands would have been free at the time, I would have instantly bounced off of it because as I said before: I have zero interest in movie/TV show reviews. He is absolutely brilliant, articulate and effing hilarious....gotta admit though, hearing "race swap lead" 50 times in an American accent would be irritating...but his accent makes everything sound so fluid. Been binge watching this channel for two days and had to look up "rings of power" because "rings of pyre" just didn't make a lot of sense to me. I was like "sooooo, is it like a ring of funeral present due to unjust slaughter of some Hobbits or some sh!t?" 9.5 out of 10 stars....I laugh AND feel smarter about the effects of social issues......annnndddddd it's like a fun puzzle figuring out what the f@$k he is saying sometimes

I humbly submit to the Despot that Non-Playable Sheep be renamed Media Literate Sheep.

Really breaking those stereotypes having the black characters committing crime from minute one.

To me the most outrageous thing about is what they did with Friar Tuck. Yeah some renditions of his character was quirky, but he was a Man of God who kind and generous and assures that the Merry Men were in the right. This Tuck made me physically ill to watch .

I hope your channell blows up man, your videos are really great.

Jesus your description is so savage I haven't even watched this but after this review I have no desire to look at this. As a black person this is actually more offensive than woke for me.....please never change how you review series/movies

i like how the fake reviews arent even smart enough to give it a 7 or an 8 out of 10 they all have to give it 10/10 and say its the greatest show ever made

This guy is like a better-spoken, sober version of the Drinker.

I absolutely hate that they desecrate the Army uniform. You don’t button the top button during normal wear.

If the audience racist for not liking a bad show regardless of it's diverse cast, Director X is all kinds of phobic for ignoring legit criticism from both men, women, any race, sexual orientation and gender.

He makes these reviews so long so we actually feel what he feels even though we will never see these shows. A true despot with so fierce paer.

Director X. You sure can feel his hate here. This had to be government funded because nothing this horribly racist could be put out by a commercial enterprise without somebody in a responsible position saying something.

I can’t get enough of your “ am I right boys? HAHAHA “ …juxtaposed with your articulate and mostly monotone type of narration. You don’t overuse the opportunity to say it , maybe once or twice per video , but when you DO , I can’t help but to laugh, no matter how many times I watch the same vid.

Mop Head’s your best name creation to date, man. Cracks me up every single time.

The police shooting scene reminds me of the "Life is Strange 2" police shooting scene. If this is how these people really think these things happen it shows how insanely sheltered they are.

36:12 this part is actually bananas. Not one judge in America will qualify a shot person in a wheelchair, days out of the hospital as a “flight risk”. That term actually qualifies when the defendant has skipped bail multiple times, or has simply not shown up to court, or is an immigrant.

The fact that movie makers today need to take an already existing successful project and force their narrative on it is proof that nobody is interested in watching their nonsense and they know it... Hence the need to force it down everyone's throat through characters we all grew up loving

what music begins to play at around the 2:00 mark? Its subtle, and in the background, but i've heard it before and maddeningly can't seem to find it ANYWHERE

I commented this before, but I'll say it again: I don't understand why this isn't being bashed by everyone for being racist. Because of course the black girl doesn't understand stealing is bad. Of course she's a college drop out, her father who's presumably also of color is absent, AND a bad influence to booth. She's so promiscuous so happy-go-open-legs that her sister(or some girl I don't remember) naming a bunch of guys and bashing her a bit with it, she empties the condom jar fast and forgets to refill it as evidenced by her mom having to refill it for her, so she's also completely uninterested in being responsible for her own pleasures, I'm surprised the mc's aren't being depicted as professional weed incinerators and substance addicts too.

My sincerest condolences to Despot for tolerating all THESE garbage just so we don't have to. You are a legend, man 💪💪💪

I saw myself reflected in this show, since I, also, do not do the flashy flash.

I had a hard time believing this was real…. I swore it had to be some kind of parody.. It’s so ludicrous.

The problem with this show is that it is set in Canada. They might as well set it in Staines starring Ali G.

One of my favourite moments from the show was when one of the characters was telling the top cop lady that she didn’t have the right to do what she was doing, so she says that she has a warrant. I bet the intended reaction was “she can’t do that” but the thing is, her actions are completely justified.

Love him or hate him, Malcom X was one charismatic motherf*cker- Absolutely magnetic speaker.

The immediate cut to Elizabeth Holmes 😂😂😂😂 I’m dead

Well done, Despot. Many of their superhero stories had been morphing into this for years now. Where the "hero" spends more time fighting the police than criminals, and every villain is just some caricature of the right.

The woke hivemind has literally become a parody of itself at this point

In the U.S. they will not only ask for a longer sentence if you fight the charges, they will add more charges. It is how our system works. If people didn't plead out and every person had their case heard by a jury, the system would completely fall apart. They can barely keep up, even with all the plea deals they do.

We need a compilation of all the times despot says “pauer”

Poor iPhone Karen for having to say those "lyrics". Even she deserves better than that, Despot. For shame.

Also I want to throw out another historical fact of why Robin Hood's thievery was so brilliant. You see when you had to pay taxes to your Noble Lord they had to write you a receipt nowadays. A receipt is just a bill of sale so that you can exchange it for your money back after you pay for goods and services. Some Goods can be returned with the receipt but back in the old olden days. You see when the debt collectors came around to collect your taxes they had to write you a receipt. But these receipts were not only just a piece of paper but had written signature. By the debt collector and a wax seal of the king Lord or Baron of that area. In debt collectors would actually attend auctions for contract from these Noble Lords and even the king. To collect the taxes but you actually did pay your taxes on time. Even though they were outrageous and crazy it's proof that you did pay your taxes and due to the king. Or the Lord of that area but here's the thing you get some guy like Robin Hood who robs the tax collectors and the corrupt Nobles. And he gives that money back to the people you probably think it was stopping them from just you know taking that money back. Well the receipt you see if you had this receipt proof that you paid your taxes you didn't have to pay again until next year. or ever how long it takes for your debt collector to come and collect your taxes. So legally if these corrupt Nobles wanted to just take their money again they can actually take them to court and they had proof and the King's seal which means if they tried it that. Means that you're calling the question and calling the king a thief.

To be fair to this show, considering this "Project" is a projetopia, it makes sense that they like it. It's fundamentally stupid to the point that it makes sense in this show

Loving the horror reviews

As a Canadian, this makes me sick. Also, in Canada you don't pay to secure bail. Bail is always free. You only pay if you breach your bail.

It's almost like this show was created in a woke lab using only the finest and most cutting edge woke ingredients

There was a point in time, long since passed, when people knew that it meant more for a person to relate to someone who was nothing like them, either physically or ideologically, then it was for people to simply see a character that was ... ugh ... a reflection of themselves. What we have now is called regression and it is not a good thing. It's like I'm back on the playground in elementary school playing opposite day. Its amazing to me how many things today, when said aloud, reflect a stupid, kids' game.

This follows a recent trend of remaking old media and replacing the protag with a female girl boss. They also did girl Kung Fu and girl Zorro. They follow the exact same formula. Girl hero who is chosen has a male simp friend that she ignores, as well as a chad that simps for her. Also she may or may not be bisexual. I've seen the other two shows they were also quite bad and used a lot of cliches, mostly woman and social justice tropes.

The idea that someone in Canada would be bailed out like that is ridiculous anyway as virtually everybody is released almost immediately, even violent offenders. There are offenders in Vancouver with hundreds of pending charges and the police are still forced to release them. The idea that things would work this way is ridiculous here.

I’ll never get over the visual of Wakandans beating their chest while wearing grass skirts, while also flying space craft and building sky scrapers 😂🤣 my goodness, ignorance truly must be bliss.

Just discovered this channel. This guy has a silver tongue- I could listen to him talk/rants for HOURS!

Robin hood and little john walking through the forest, laughing back and forth with what the other had to say!

Robyn Hood is more a parody of the source material than Mel Brooks Robin Hood: Men in Tights ever was. Which is, should you be unaware, an _actual_ parody film. Except it was done intentionally.

The most depressing thing is that the creative team had no understanding of what Robin Hood is.

What's crazy is that they gave her the Felicia braids I really felt like saying bye Felicia

I grew up in the Chicagoland area and I can definitely assure you this depiction of the ghetto is right on. Take Cabrini Green for example (when it was around). Perfect harmony, everyone living together in peace and neighbors helping each other out. A real sense of community there. Definitely not a drug addled, crime ridden, murderous neighborhood that the cops were afraid to go into.

What you say about the projects is spot on. Everyone when I was growing up hated them. The residents hated all the crime and how it was impossible to enforce laws there due to ambushes. My dad grew up in one and despite the fact he lived there before crack came to his city, he was happy they tore them down.

"Woman with large breasts: a woman with large breasts". That killed me man😂

I have a cousin who my aunt adopted out of the ghetto, and he hated this show for glorifying a project housing

So glad I found this channel. Sometimes the algorithm stops holding back the good stuff.

Finally, a strong, urban, bisexual and independent black woman has once again appropriated my culture. As a heterosexual, white man (what's typically associated with the role of Robin Hood) I can finally "see a reflection of myself." So brave.

Gotta love how people think you can modernize the story of robin hood when the story involves a cruel king taxing the poor for his own game. When in this, a guy who wants to improve the neighborhood he owns by remodeling the one poorly kept area, and uphold the law from the hooded glowsticks who steal commercial property

For Friar Tech, did they just green screen him in from a Cyberpunk 2077 gig I missed?

I had to rewatch this. Your channel is awesome!

This channel never ceases to make me laugh at the absurdity of modern day politics/culture.

Being the worst show of 2023 is oddly kind of an accomplishment.

Maid Marion of Melanin. 😂

At 7:28, what scene was that?

Absolutely lost it at "Robyn Raceswapsley"

Fun fact most of the stories get the real story wrong. Robin hood was originally about hunting. It wasn't about stealing money, it was about hunting the kings animals and giving the meat to the poor.

Don’t you all hate when you screw up at work and your boss front power kicks you across the room while insulting your salary?!

I'm so ashamed of my country. I'm sorry for this atrocity, everybody.
