  So what do you do when you've got no original ideas, but you've got
• 0:04
  a classic character, but unfortunately the classic character doesn't conform to your insane woke
• 0:10
  ideology. Well, if you're in Canada, you do this Robin hood.
• 0:16
  That's Robin with a Why reimagines a thousand years of legend for the age that
• 0:21
  we live in. That's right, it's been reimagined for the modern audience.
• 0:27
  Now, I might be crazy here, but I'm not sure that the modern
• 0:30
  audience is that different from the old audience, you know, the one in
• 0:35
  the before time, before woke. I think by and large, they still
• 0:39
  know when something sucks. Robin and his merry men fought a despotic and unjust
• 0:45
  Prince John in the name of freedom and equality. Wait a second, this
• 0:49
  is starting to sound a little bit familiar. I almost feel like there's a
• 0:52
  parallel in Canada. Hello, maybe not the one that the creators of the
• 0:57
  show imagined. Our Robin with a Why will fight the injustices of today while
• 1:03
  embracing the heroic, hopeful, playful elements of the world's most recognizable hero.
• 1:08
  Well, I guess not so recognizable anymore. Robin with a Why Locksley is
• 1:15
  a young black woman whose masked band The Hood. The Hood is known for
• 1:23
  their inventive videos and anti authoritarian message. You know again, this is starting.
• 1:27
  I started to feel there's some parallel here with some group that also had
• 1:33
  an anti authoritarian message. But I'm guessing it's not a parallel that the creators
• 1:38
  of this show intended. She lives in Sherwood Towers, a cluster of rental
• 1:44
  high rises in a working class corner of New Nottingham, a near Phy city
• 1:49
  where the cost of living has skyrocketed, leaving an ever widening gap between the
• 1:55
  rich and everyone else. Okay, it's obvious she's fighting the true liberals.
• 2:00
  They're responsible for the cost of living skyrocketing. They're responsible for the ever widening
• 2:06
  gap between the rich and everybody else. That's why Trudeau is so unpopular in
• 2:10
  Canada. But I don't somehow I still feel like gab This all might have
• 2:15
  been lost on the producers of the show. When Robin with a Why finds
• 2:21
  herself fighting for her home and her family against local property developer John Prince and
• 2:27
  the Sheriff of New Nottingham, Robin and her band The Hood decide to take
• 2:32
  the law into their own hands, using their masked secret identities to steal from
• 2:38
  the one percent elite who control their city and give back to their community.
• 2:43
  Now Here, just to make sure that the wokeness of all this is not
• 2:46
  lost on us. As they write Robin with a Why, Locksley is not
• 2:51
  just another superhero with powers and abilities no one can hope to possess. She's
• 2:55
  a badass every woman who learns to fight for what's right, to lead,
• 3:01
  care for and guide her followers. Robin, like all Robin Hoods since the
• 3:07
  first ballad was written, holds those in power to account in the only way
• 3:12
  the wealthy understand by robbing them blind. Well, thank you, giant,
• 3:16
  faceless Canadian Media Corporation for giving us this gift. Now, keep in mind
• 3:22
  that the cast of this are their actors, who don't write the content.
• 3:25
  They are just offer jobs and they take them because they need to make money.
• 3:30
  So here's Robin with a why Hood. Here's Little John. See I'm
• 3:36
  starting to notice something about this cast. Here's Friar Tuck. So somehow I
• 3:40
  feel like this isn't entirely representative of the population of Canada. Well, let's
• 3:46
  check out the rest of the cast here. How about tep John Prince,
• 3:50
  a wealthy and villainous real estate tycoon in New Nottingham. Oh there we go.
• 3:57
  Well, who plays the sheriff of Nottingham, strong willed and corrupt sheriff
• 4:00
  who runs a tight surveillance in New Nottingham. Oh there we go again.
• 4:08
  There's their diversity. It almost seems as if they're trying to make some sort
• 4:13
  of point. Whatever that could be. Well, I suppose we should watch
• 4:16
  the trailer, shouldn't we We don't know the flash and lead, the codas
• 4:28
  and lasting robbers who rap about their crimes sexy. Okay, so that's enough
• 4:33
  already. Well, this makes Batwoman look like a masterpiece. This is going
• 4:38
  to make the world indifferent, so indifferent that nobody's going to watch this.
• 4:43
  I mean, just look at the views on this two point four thousand views
• 4:47
  in three days. But the eight hundred views a day, you've got seven
• 4:53
  likes, seven And they don't show you how many of the dislikes there are
• 4:57
  anymore. But I'm gonna guess it's more than seven. Actually, what's two
• 5:00
  thousand, four hundred views minus seven? It's that many dislikes. Just on
• 5:06
  a side note here, if you've been desperately waiting for that reboot of Matlock.
• 5:11
  Well, don't worry, Kathy Bates has answered the call. That's right,
• 5:15
  Kathy Bates is the new Batlock, and I'll just bet she don't need
• 5:18
  no man anyway. That's all I got to say about that. Please subscribe,
• 5:21
  like and share sharing. It really helps me out. I thank you
• 5:25
  for that. I will see you next time.
