As Twitchy has noted, “Avengers” actor Mark Ruffalo has been active in protests to restore water service to Detroit residents who are behind on their water payments. Yesterday he was spotted giving the thumbs-up to proto-superhero Robin Hood., which confused a few observers on Twitter. Didn’t Robin Hood give tax money back to the people?

@NationalNurses @MarkRuffalo but Robin Hood stole from the government and gave to the citizens. He didn’t have the King tax the rich more.

@NationalNurses @redsteeze @MarkRuffalo Despite popular misconceptions, Robin Hood stole from the government tax collectors, not the rich.

@NationalNurses @redsteeze @MarkRuffalo Robin Hood fought oppressive governments, this one seems to be a shill
