No, seriously, the whole thing is just plain bad and at times straight-up ridiculous.

There is zero chemistry between Marian and Russell Crowe, just a bunch of facepalm moments that were supposed to be funny, plus that cringey "I Love You" line that came out of nowhere with absolutely no buildup.

And then in the final battle, you’ve got these kids—total degenerates, really—riding on PONIES without even any gear 😂 I mean, for real, I don't even know 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Then there's that part where Cate Blanchett gets knocked down during the fight and Russell shows up and starts kissing her like some kind of freaking BEAR while she's basically unconscious, like WTFFFFFFF 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But seriously, I have no clue what kind of vibe they were going for with this flick, but whatever they were trying to pull off, it totally failed. It’s basically just a prequel to Robin Hood from Sherwood Forest, but it has zero connection to the Robin I actually know. It tries to be this historical epic (who knows if it's even accurate?) that vacillates between wanting to be funny and wanting to be dramatic, but overall, it's just nothing.

Oh, and I have to mention the scene where Godfrey and his crew are running wild through England, featuring those scenes with the burning cards and other "creative" nonsense—that was easily one of the lowest points in the entire movie, like total five-dollar production value stuff. How much did this movie even cost?

Everything you listed felt 🙄 absolutely ridiculous to me too. But the most sappy, pathetic scene has to be him sowing that stolen grain at night. 🤮 Then she suddenly realizes how noble and wonderful he is, and of course, she starts looking at him differently. 🙄

Watching this movie is like having bad sex: the action is happening, but my mind is just wandering toward what I'm going to cook for dinner tomorrow and other nonsense. 😁 Honestly, Russell Crowe is the only thing keeping this afloat; the older he gets, the better he is. 🤷 Oh, and that scene where she undresses him? If only there was more of that. 👍

Can I be hollowcanyon8? 😉 🙂

Sure. Just reach out to the admin.

Honestly, I’d be thrilled if Melpy slid into my DMs just to tell me I'm a pushover and that my avatar gives it away. 🤷

The emojis suggest I'm actually taking this as a compliment. 🤣

So what’s my move here? Now Melpy is sliding into my DMs with insults, claiming I’m just a huge pushover because of my avatar. 😂🤣

If someone’s attacking you privately, does that mean you're just helpless? 😁

I spend half my life overthinking every single word, carefully weighing my phrasing just so I don't accidentally bruise someone's ego or cause unnecessary drama. I'm constantly walking on eggshells, trying to be tactful. But them? They just blurt out the raw truth and move on like nothing happened. It’s wild. You can tell someone the hard truth, sure, but you do it with enough grace that they aren't left reeling or spiraling afterward. There's an art to it, really.
Do you think they actually have no idea what they're after? Because if that's the case... well, that's just not a good look. Honestly.

Yeah, that’s totally plausible. Honestly, I know I catch some eyes at my office—and trust me, there are definitely some good-looking guys around—but I’d feel like such a phony if I actually went around telling people I was desirable. It’s just not something I care about in life. That's all there is to it. Why would you even go out of your way to whisper something in someone's ear just to mess with their head? The only reason to do that is to stir up jealousy, which is just such an immature way to act. And really, why bother?

Honestly, he’s pushed me so far past my limit with all this nonsense that I’ve actually started thinking about how to go out and arm myself. I mean, seriously—I’m sitting here wondering how to get enough gear so I can actually fight back. If I’m going to protect myself and stand my ground, I need more than just words. What else is there to do? I need some way to defend myself before I lose it completely.
Picture this: your heart is absolutely hammering against your ribs, your head feels like it’s seconds away from an outright explosion, and your blood pressure is spiking so hard you can practically feel the pulse in your temples. Just imagine that kind of raw, white-knuckle tension sustained for as long as it takes to finally burn itself out. Now... just think about what you'd actually *do* with all that frantic, unspent energy.🤷

Hmm... I see bits of myself in this. Maybe his behavior irritates you specifically because you aren't that type of person and you actually care about his feelings.
My partner drops gems like that too, and I spend ages trying to figure out if there's any actual logic behind them. For example: "I was at a lecture today. It was boring. Oh, and there was this tiny girl walking around like a little cowgirl—totally unladylike. She had a nice face, though." 😕
And then I'm left wondering what on earth that has to do with anything. Maybe he wants me to think it matters?
It confuses me because I value my own integrity. I don't run every single thought or encounter by him, even when they happen. To me, that kind of talk feels like pure ego-stroking—just inflating oneself while intentionally (or maybe subconsciously) hurting your partner.
The bottom line is that what he says doesn't matter. What matters is how he acts. Any smart woman with actual intuition will sense if her partner's behavior has truly shifted. That's when you pull the alarm.

Otherwise, just let it go and enjoy yourself. Life should be simple. That's how you should set it up. 👍
