* AdaptedOut: While most of the usual Robin Hood characters appear in some form, Marian is just an alias Robin uses, there doesn't seem to be an equivalent to Alan-a-Dale or Friar Tuck (though arguably the latter might be Tui), and while there's a King Richard, there isn't a Prince John (who is almost always the main villain in adaptations that use King Richard).
* TheBigGuy: As Little John's analogue, Gripper is a large, buff young man who gains extra strength from his robot arm. He uses this a lot to lift heavy objects while either fighting drobos or getting supplies to the poor, as well as prying open the elevator doors to go after Gisbourne when the latter kidnaps Juba.

''Sherwood'' is a 2019 animated series released on the [[Website/YouTube YouTube Red]] streaming service. Based on the legend of Myth/RobinHood, the animated series follows 14-year-old Robin and her friends’ battles with the wealthy Upper City in their efforts to overcome inequality and fight for justice.
It premiered on January 15th, 2019. When the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic hit and various platforms and companies made a lot of media freely available to encourage people to stay home in the early months, the paywall over the series was dropped, and it can now be seen for free.
----
!!Tropes in this series include:
* ActionGirl: Robin and, after some practice, Rose.
* AfterTheEnd: Rising sea levels have destroyed much of the planet, leaving Sherwood as one of the last vestiges for humanity's survival.
* TheAlcatraz: The Cube, a half-submerged maximum security prison [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin shaped like a giant Rubik's cube]]. Robin sneaks in to rescue Tui and Rose in the first episode.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Iniko has webbed hands and feet and is the only character with an unnatural hair colour, with no explanation.
* ApatheticCitizens: Most of the citizens of Sherwood seem complacent to the Sheriff's actions.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Even in episode one, the rich are shown to be hoarding medicine while the poor are sick and dying.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Instead of being a disgraced former male noble, Robin is now a female commoner. [[spoiler:However, her father does turn out to be part of the Sheriff's inner circle.]] (Of course, [[OlderThanTheyThink the oldest Robin Hood ballads portrayed him as a commoner, with the nobleman-all-along business a comparatively late retcon]].)
* AggressiveCategorism: In Gripper's eyes, all people from the Upper City are amoral scum that deserve to die. It takes a lot of CharacterDevelopment for him to learn people don't get a say in which side of the fence they're born on.
* CompositeCharacter: Marian Johns is simply an alias Robin uses to enter the Sherwood Showdown (this show's analogue to the famous archery tournament story), rather than a separate character. Much like Robin being a commoner, this is OlderThanTheyThink, with a common theory being that Maid Marian was a CanonForeigner whose stories ended up being added to the greater Robin Hood canon later on.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Gripper and Juba are both Black and have pale blond hair.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Subverted when [[spoiler:Thomas Loxley]] turns out to have survived being thrown off the Upper City into the ocean.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Iniko's wetsuit only has spat-like coverings. Hey, all the better for swimming in.
* FacialMarkings: Tui has moko tattoos on her chin and forehead.
* GenderFlip: Robin "Hood" is a girl, as is the character based on Will Scarlet, Rose Trefgarne, and the character based on Much the Miller's Son, Juba.
* GildedCage: Rose describes the Upper City as this thanks to [[BigBrotherIsWatching the Sheriff and his spies]].
* GoshDangItToHeck: Rose searches for an epithet to call a raiding pack of drobos and lands on "turd." Despite the mildness of the oath, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Juba gasps and Gripper covers her ears.]]
* HonoraryUncle: Robin's "Aunt" Tui raised her after her mother died and her father disappeared.
* HoverBoard: What Rose brings to the team (along with her education from the Upper City) is her hoverboarding skills.
* KillThePoor: Nottingham's ultimate plan is to [[spoiler:send his section of the citadel aloft, and bomb the Upper City and slums to drown]].
* KissOfLife: In Episode 6, [[spoiler:Iniko gives CPR to Robin after rescuing her from drowning. Juba declares it a kiss and the two of them get very awkward about it.]]
* LayeredMetropolis: Sherwood is made up of the waterlogged slums and a floating citadel where the rich and elite live.
* NecessarilyEvil: [[spoiler:Tom Loxley]] knows the Sheriff is only interested in saving himself, but he still believes collaborating with him is the only way to ensure the populations can survive the incoming storms. [[spoiler:Only during the season finale does Tom realize how wrong he was.]]
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Subverted. Sheriff Nottingham ''immediately'' believes that [[spoiler:Thomas Loxley managed to survive his fall]] when he sees signs that he might still be alive, and is actually taken aback when hearing [[spoiler:that he succumbed to his injuries]] later on.
* PoliceState: While not scrapping to get their next meal like the sea croppers, life for Upper City residents is hardly ideal. They are spoon-fed lies by the Sheriff, and any discontent is punished with banishment. [[spoiler:Rose was imprisoned in the Cube because her parents reported her for insurgency, rather than risk losing their residency status.]]
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the Robin Hood legends, Guy of Gisbourne is a hitman hired by the Sheriff of Nottingham. Their counterparts here, Sheriff Nottingham and Gisbourne, are father and son.
* ShipTease: Between Robin and Iniko, more so on the latter's part.
* SubmarinePirates: Iniko and Gripper. Their sub is busted up in the pilot, so they join Robin's resistance to rob the Upper City of the necessary parts.
* TagalongKid: While Juba does help the team on occasion, she gets them into just as much trouble, and her role is mostly just being a child the others need to go out of their way to protect.
* {{Tuckerization}}: Rose Trefgarne is named for Justin Trefgarne, the series' writer.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Every act of cruelty Gisbourne does is for his father's approval. Unfortunately, Nottingham doesn't regard him as a competent minion, much less love him.
* WreckedWeapon: [[spoiler:Gisbourne wrecks the DNA gauntlet beyond repair in the finale, necessitating that Robin cut her own palm to use her blood to stop the Orb.]]
