I'm so excited for this week! Since I don...Yay! I'm so excited for this week! Since I don't have a blog, I'll leave my answers in this comment. :-)<br /><br />What was your first exposure to Robin Hood?<br />The first time I was exposed to Robin Hood was through the 1938 movie.<br /><br />On a scale of 1 to 10, how big a fan are you?<br />I'm about a 5-7 like you. :)<br /><br />How many versions and spin-offs of the legend have you experienced?<br />3 versions...I think. I'm not sure, but I'll say that to be safe.<br /><br />What is your favorite version of Robin Hood (can be book, movie, TV series, anything)?<br />I think my favorite version is either the BBC series or the 1938 movie. <br /><br />Are you one of the lads? (Meaning, have you watched/are you a fan of the BBC show?)<br />I am definitely a fan of the BBC show.<br /><br />Who is your favorite Merry Man?<br />Do I have to choose one? If I would have to put my finger on one, I would say "Little John."<br /><br />Do you have a favorite portrayal of Lady Marian?<br />Marian from the BBC series wins hands down.<br /><br />Do you have any interest in or aptitude at archery?<br />I have a strong interest in archery but since I have never done it, I probably don't have any aptitude. <br /><br />Fact or fiction -- which do you think? <br />There must have been a man that was like Robin Hood in order for the legend to become real, but it is mostly legend I believe. I like to compare the legends of Robin Hood to the legends of King Arthur. <br /><br />Do you think Robin Hood has been "done to death," or are there still new twists that can be found?<br />There are still new twists that can be found!!! I love a good retelling!

"An...THE DISNEY FILM FOREVER. YES. <3 :)<br /><br />"Another one that was old and cheesy and had singing and just . . . was not doing anyone any favours with its existence." << XD<br /><br />I really need to watch the Errol Flynn one. <br /><br />Thanks so much for filling out the answers, Meg!

YES. :D THIS IS EXCITINGGG!!!!
Now I want ...Eeee!! YES. :D THIS IS EXCITINGGG!!!!<br /><br />Now I want to fill out the tag - it looks so fun! :D<br /><br />What was your first exposure to Robin Hood?<br />I don't remember a time when I DIDN'T know Robin Hood. However, one of the earliest memories was that for my 7th birthday I was given the animated Robin Hood and loved it. (Skippy turned 7 in the movie too, I believe, so that also made it special. ;)) <br />On a scale of 1 to 10, how big a fan are you?<br />Of Robin Hood stories in general? Um... well it's not my favourite thing but I do really like it. Maybe a 6 or 7?<br />How many versions and spin-offs of the legend have you experienced?<br />Um... I've seen the BBC TV show, the animated movie, the Russel Crowe one, the Errol Flynn one... I once saw an incredibly cheesy animated one that I NEVER want to see again (heh :P) and another one that was old and cheesy and had singing and just... was not doing anyone any favours with it's existence.<br />What is your favorite version of Robin Hood (can be book, movie, TV series, anything)?<br />Oh, I'd have to say the Errol Flynn one, although I appreciate others very much (like the BBC TV show and the animated one).<br />Are you one of the lads? (Meaning, have you watched/are you a fan of the BBC show?)<br />For sure.<br />Who is your favorite Merry Man?<br />Will Scarlet is the dearest dear that ever lived in Sherwood Forest. <3<br />Do you have a favorite portrayal of Lady Marian?<br />Olivia de Havilland nailed it for me. <br />Do you have any interest in or aptitude at archery?<br />Yes. :D Interest, and aptitude to a degree (though I really should sharpen up my skills a bit more than I currently am doing). Archery is definitely in my top 3 favourite 'sports'.<br />Fact or fiction -- which do you think? <br />Fact, for the most part. I'm sure there were plenty of *ahem* embellishments, but I truly believe there was a real Robin Hood of old. :)<br />Do you think Robin Hood has been "done to death," or are there still new twists that can be found?<br />That... is a very good question. I think there HAVE been a lot, but I wouldn't mind if they brought out another - provided it didn't ruin it altogether. I still haven't found one that UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY AND PERFECTLY captures Robin Hood for me, but to be honest, I don't think I ever will. And I'm happy with what I've got.<br /><br />That was a fun tag, Olivia! :D And I'm VERY excited for this week!!! Now I might go and practice my archery...<br /><br />~Miss MegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-68114744766714551072017-05-23T22:34:32.434-04:002017-05-23T22:34:32.434-04:00Alas, I still have not seen the BBC (or really any...Alas, I still have not seen the BBC (or really any other) version of Robin Hood, so I can't really participate in the festivities... but I look forward to reading everyone else's posts!!<br /><br />So... you asked in your tag whether or not we thought Robin Hood was based in reality or not?? Weeeellll, I've always had this kind of weird theory that Robin Hood might be based off of David from the Bible? They just remind me SO MUCH of each other! Living as fugitives, surrounded by fellow outlaws, hated by the king, witty and funny and smart, good at fighting and disguises and trickery...<br /><br />Probably ridiculous but fun to think about just the same. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-27383545644216656702017-05-23T13:43:46.089-04:002017-05-23T13:43:46.089-04:00Actually, I was referring to the BBC Turk Flu epis...Actually, I was referring to the BBC Turk Flu episode, but I suppose the Disney film works just as well. ;D<br /><br />(OKAY NOW YOU'RE MAKING ME SO EXCITED AHHHHH)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315660089925645214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-88554454860981330592017-05-23T13:43:08.476-04:002017-05-23T13:43:08.476-04:00Haha, not yet!
