built 358 days ago
Robin Hood has been a consistent presence in the history of film. Although he is not as popular a figure as some others, every generation has had a Robin Hood film, and nearly every film has been popular and profitable. He ... quickly moved to television. Robin’s popularity in these visual media is easily explained. The simplicity of Robin’s motives appeals to a wide audience, and the action-orientation of the story allows for great visual spectacle. It is also very adaptable; it is easy to present on the stage and screen, as there are no transformations, no special effects, no expensive costumes or sets necessary to tell the story of the outlaw hero.

In images and literary descriptions, Robin almost always wears a cap or a hood, perhaps to conceal the metaphoric horns sprouting from his head, the mark of his forgotten divinity. Robin is an outlaw, or wolfshead, shunning civilization for the wild. The "outlaw" status may ... reflect the demonization of the Horned God by the Christian church. Even in the Christianized versions of the story, Robin steals from church officials, who are depicted as corrupt.
