  • An early hot take argues The Wire's Omar better realizes the Robin Hood idea, with preference for more robbery and redistribution rather than backstory.
  • The sheriff killing his own cousin is criticized as destroying trust and removing his own muscle, framed as more an observation than a hot take.
  • Azeem is proposed as the person who should lead because of his technology and medical competence.
  • A hot take compares Game of Thrones with this film's forest journeys, kidnappings and sardonic villain; Omar is again called the best Robin Hood.
  • An urban Robin Hood adaptation in Chicago or Baton Rouge is proposed.
