Added DiffLines:

* {{Armor is Useless}}: Played straight whenever arrows are involved. The most egregious example is when the old man kills [[spoiler:King Richard]] just by ''throwing'' an arrow at him.
* BadassBookworm: The Sheriff is unusual because he can read and write but is also a highly skilled swordsman.
* {{Beware the Nice Ones}}: Little John
--> Nobody's as gentle, or half as terrible
* BittersweetEnding
* BrokenBird: Marian. [[spoiler: After Robin left her to go on crusade she tried to kill herself. When she failed]] she became a nun to try and forget about him.
