given that the story of Robin Hood is like... very very famously set in Nottingham(shire) it would be cool to see one single solitary adaptation that gives literally any of the characters in the story a Notts or at least midlands-sounding accent. I know there's a longstanding gag about Robin Hoods with american accents so this is like, very much nitpicking, but Prince of Thieves appears to have a Little John with a fucking COCKNEY accent for gods sake. wtf is going on.

#the actor is actually english which means he doesn't even have the excuse of being An American Idiot #yeah yeah I know it's shorthand for This Dude Is Poor And Tough #but you could real easily do that with a brummy accent if you weren't a fucking coward and then at least that's MIDLANDS #also laughing hysterically in British when Robin Hoods arrive back at Ye Olde White Cliffs Of Dover excited to be home #and then some how manage to reach Nottingham in like. an hour or so max.#it takes over FOUR HOURS to DRIVE from dover to nottingham on MOTORWAYS in a CAR #gmaps reckons it would take three days to walk and that's with zero breaks and no sleeping like this is a SUBSTANTIAL journey guys #always these complaints are excepting Robin Hood Men In Tights that does all this bullshit on purpose and that makes it fucking hilarious
