On the other, Robin Hood, however iconic his legend is, has rejected the life of a landed gentry for that of an honorable woodsman, so he’s rather like Graham in that respect. Regina might “overshadow” Robin with her grandeur and royal trappings, whereas he will continue to fight for the oppressed, because that is just the kind of man he is. I suspect Regina would have to give up her power, magic, and wealth for the sake of loving a bandit like RH. I fear Regina may have gotten too accustomed to power and wealth to go back to the Regina she was when Daniel asked her to marry him. We’ll see.
Actually, Robin didn’t reject the life of the gentry. He was forced out of it by what was happening to his people. And in the end he ended up marrying the King of England’s niece, which would definitely make him one of the royal family. I have no idea if they’re going the royal route with this Marian, but all versions I’ve known she’s the niece of King Richard the Lionhearted. I just wish that Adam would respond in any way to any of the tweets about Marian, I know I tweeted about it and I saw a few others do the same. But never an answer. Either, it’s going to be a plot point or he’s just uninterested. Either way, I’d even appreciate a “keep watching” or “ooh, that’s a good idea” rather than silence on the issue.
