In the article it says first that he joined the outlaws after he killed a deer, and then later on that it was this action that made them outlaws. Seems somewhat contradictory, but what is correct? Bjelleklang - talk 16:26, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

The trouble with mythic characters is there isn't usually a "correct" account, but lots of partially or entirely contradictory ones. To the best of my knowledge, though, the second version is unique to the TV series Robin of Sherwood. Daibhid C 22:19, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
In the movie Adventures of Robin Hood, Robin intervened when Much had been caught after shooting a deer, which is when the action really started. Goldfritha 22:21, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
This beginning is also used in the 1991 TV Movie, which makes at least three modern versions of Robin Hood where Much is to blame for Robin being outlawed. It's possible they are all copying the Errol Flynn version, but it seems a pretty standard part of the tale these days. Lordjim13 13:55, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
