This is honestly pretty fascinating from a cultural standpoint, like 100 years from now anthropologists will be able to look back on how the English myth of Robin Hood was adapted to the warrior culture of the late American Empire

if robin hood had been able to listen to eminem, he would of done a whole genocide
