Robin
Hood: Men in Tights was playing again
today. Am I the only one bothered by the
scene where Robin promises Marianne that she won’t go to the archery tournament
instead of himself? Prompting Achoo to
try to correct Robin, only for Robin to tell him to “cooool it!” He is willfully deceiving her. And on top of that, he goes to the archery
tournament anyway, despite the fact that he knows she doesn’t want him to go.
But
somehow this has no effect on their relationship when she discovers later that
he lied to her and showed up anyway. She
overlooks it all and is only concerned with his safety at the hands of the
Sheriff of Rottingham. He lies to her, dismisses
her feelings, is selfish, and lets her sacrifice herself for his only
safety. What kind of messed up start to
a relationship is this?!
