Reading Notes: Robin Hood, Part A

- The tale of Robin Hood and Little John meeting could be rewritten into a prequel story for how V and Jacky met each other. Since Robin Hood brought Little John into the fold, the same could be said for V taking Jacky on as his partner.

- V is a mercenary who targets anyone for money, but his targets would most likely be rich people. Robin Hood does the same in targeting richer folk, so a story for V could be written to where he takes on a gig to rob the rich and redistribute the earnings to the poor.

- Reading about Robin Hood in ballad form is interesting, as it is an entirely different format compared to conventional stories, yet it is easy to understand and picture the adventures of Robin Hood. It may be a good idea to change up the format of stories in the portfolio to spice things up.
