Talk:Maid Marian

message: I just reverted vandalism on this page, and I also removed this entry:
*The Forestwife; 1994 novel by Theresa Tomlinson
Can anyone verify this? The Theresa Tomlinson page lists the novel as being published in 1993. If the character of Maid Marian appears in this book, please add it to the article again, verifying the year and modifying the Theresa Tomlinson article as needed. CoderGnome 03:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Questionable book reference 

message: The article might mention that it has become a nearly universal custom nowadays in retellings of the story for the tale to end with the announcement of Robin's and Marian's forthcoming marriage - almost always in connection with King Richard's deus ex machina return from the Crusades to set everything right. Also, notice how many modern renditions have shown her as "Lady Marian" rather than "Maid Marian." Almost all, I think.

replies: text: Actually, in the recent BBC-version of Robin Hood, Marian is killed by Guy of Gisbourne in the last episode of series 2, when king Richard was still in Palestine. --Oddeivind (talk) 09:19, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I've removed this line in the Movies section, as it's not really notable.  I'm sure there have been numerous occasions where Maid Marion gets mentioned once in a work of fiction.  Rojomoke (talk) 17:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *In the movie Requiem for a Dream one of the characters is named Marion. Right before she conducts sexual activities with someone he names her "Maid Marion", and chuckles.
it's VERY notable, restore it!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.47.161.234 (talk) 00:12, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Lucy Griffiths.jpg

message: I removed this section which had an August 2007 cite request on it:
In yet another incarnation, Marian is depicted as an albino, who is part of an enclave of outcasts consisting of 'freaks' that have been thrown out of the city by the Sherriff, and provide Robin with the first few Merry Men

thread_title: Removed Uncited Section 

message: Are other readers as surprised as I am to see this modern euphemism no fewer than four times in an article dealing with the distant past? Apart from the fact that an interest isn't a person, using this phrase repeatedly (as if it's only available option) suggests that Maid Marian's some ditzy character from "Sex in the city". In any case, I can't imagine anyone (unless perhaps they live in California?) introducing their boyfriend or girlfriend with the words "I'd like you to meet my love interest....". Maybe the writer was trying to be humorous, but the general tone of the article is serious.213.127.210.95 (talk) 13:42, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Some things don't change. The promoters of the Robin Hood legend may have felt that there should be a female role in the story, whether just a romantic image or a major supportive character with significance. Valetude (talk) 23:01, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
