Taxes! Beautiful, beautiful taxes! Aha!

King John was such an underrated villain.

I honestly wish there were more /co/ villains like him; childish, dishonest cowards designed to push the audience's buttons, so when they do get btfo by the protagonist- it REALLY means something other than simply the logical conclusion to the story's narrative. Badass/"affable" antagonists just seem like a dime a dozen by comparison.

Is he really? I know he's associated with "rob from the rich, give to the poor," but at least in Disney's version he only robs from the prince.

It's different because it's implied that there's supposed to be a redistribution going on, but that King John raids the coffers for personal enrichment. Actually... it doesn't. The movie never implies that the people get anything from their tax burden, and that John is just a statist kleptocrat. Damn, this movie's more redpilled than I gave it credit for.

I agree.
I hate that the base way some people judge a villain is whether they're """threatening""", whatever that means. The villain is not going to spook me anyway and I'm too old for the whole "did nothing wrong except being edgy" villains, give me a good old despicable asshole hiding behind his henchmen once in a while.

>IRL John becomes the legit King of England when Richard gets killed like an idiot because he went to battle not bothering to wear armor and took a crossbow bolt fired by a kid, and had no sons of his own since half that Plantegenets were complete queermos

IRL the English lost the Hundred Year's War and never shook off the yoke of French rule either.

Well the later rulers stopped speaking french and had very little connection to france so I don't think there could still properly be a "Norman Yoke" since the commons eventually became the supreme power of the land.

Really though they should have stuck with the Republic

Meh. We provide you with plenty of services and protection. You'd have just used them for more booze and porn, and you have enough of that.

consider the fact that you are not in open revolt.

Renart's story was more saucy.

England was never very Norman, despite the conquest. Magna Carta was pretty much entirely Saxon Law, especially the important parts to do with representation, and jury trials and imprisonment.

Alfred the Great was elected, for example.
