Robin Hood Villan or Hero?

[Slurpeez]

To further show how ludicrous the idea of marriage in the EF vs Storybrooke is, technically isn’t David Nolan still not married to Mary Margret? They are different people and according to US law they aren’t married. We know they are married, but what do the records say? Maybe they fixed all of that when Snow’s curse was cast.

I guess it all depends on one’s view of marriage. Is marriage simply a legal term or is it something higher like a vow made between two people? If it’s the first case, then I suppose David wasn’t technically married to Mary Margaret during the first curse. But if it’s the second case, then David and Mary Margaret were still married, despite being cursed, because they had made vows to forsake all others. David never made a vow to Kathryn, so he was never technically married to her, no matter what his cursed memories told him. Granted, this is fantasy, but the mere relocation to another land doesn’t suddenly make null and void the promise made between spouses. The marriage stands no matter where they take up residence, whether they remain in the town in which they were married or whether they move abroad. What matters most is the vow they made, not where they said their vows or where it was recorded. For the sake of the argument though, I suspect the records in SB now accurately reflect Snow and David’s marriage seeing how Snow was the mayor and in charge.

I’m just curios about their relationship IF things get turned upside down for the Heroes and Villains.

Interesting. I suspect Robin would be a reformed villain. He was always a thief, so I think he’s always straddled the line. In 4a, it was revealed that he was a selfish thief who only stole for himself up until he met Marian. It was she who set him on the path of stealing only to aid the poor. Perhaps in this AU, Robin will be a selfish outlaw, yet fall for the innocent and kindhearted Princess Regina. Perhaps he’ll change his ways for the better by way of fair Regina’s gentling influence, and she’ll become his wealthy benefactress.

I am not touching the OQ madness with a five foot pole. Had my fill of “adultery vs no adultery” last season.

I’ll answer the most basic question in the OP: Is Robin Hood a hero or a villain? As it stands, at this very moment, he stands more on the heroes side. I don’t think he’s ever been a villain; but he’s a not a pure white hat either.

I think Robin stands on the hero side and has never been a villain. His whole “dark past” spiel is just the writers way to try and make him have more in common with Regina as they tried to ram OQ down the audience’s throats last season. (Evidently the fanbase didn’t take to the forced pairing so they’ve stepped back and are going to try it again this time with the Zelena reveal to try and quash the moral issues OQ had the first time).

At worst I think Robin’s actions, in trying to do the right thing, led to something bad happening but I don’t think Robin has ever been a villain consciously in the way Regina was.

All magic comes with a price!

We haven’t seen any of his past Pre-Marian. Everything on this show is based on what the writers write. Robin being a grey character might be why they paired him with Regina, but is that bad?

All the main couples on this show besides The Charmings were created by the OUAT writers. So they would all be ‘forced pairings’.

Knowing Adam and Eddy, Robin Hood was originally a villain who did bad things for selfish reasons….but some life changing, “aha” moments and he eventually became a thief who did bad things in the name of good, so I’ll say he’s more so caught between Hero and Anti-Hero! Robin Hood does not technically like the law…. 🙂

We actually know that this is exactly how it played out. Robin told Will how he became an honorable thief—it was after he met (well stole from) Marian. She made him change his ways.

I stand by my initial statement: He’s a hero when he follows his code. Whether he’s a villain when not, harder to say–we haven’t seen/heard quite enough of his past (pre-code) and only know of a few instances where he’s violated it.

A villain? RH? Dear me, no! He’s a freedom fighter ^-^

And on that note, I just can’t help it:
