Topic Brainstorm, Project - Week 2

I've narrowed the topic down to:

The War with Troy has been told through a variety of different mediums. I want to do a new version of the story where the Trojans don't have to flee to Italy but rather beat the Greeks at the Gates of Troy and launched a counter attack on the city states of Greece as a result of a petty new king. An entirely new story, no one wants to be told the same story twice (cc: Sony with Spider-Man and killing Uncle Ben twice, we wanted a new take, thank you Marvel Studios)  

Arash the Archer, something new for me, but I would like to take the story of the heroic archer and turn him into a villain that the Persians feared. The fear would ultimately become realized when Arash would overthrow the king to become an Emperor himself to rule tyrannically over the Persian people. 
 
Robin Hood, steal from the rich, give to poor. This story of Robin Hood steals from the rich for himself before an army invades England where he'll have to make a choice of whether to stand with this fellow country men or be killed himself when there is no one left to steal from. Robin Hood is an icon and many children's movies have been made of him but rarely do the depictions show the struggle that he went through to get to where he was. 

Rumpelstilskin, the cunning deal maker that twists them. I want to retell his story from not a common source but rather the one depicted on TV with Once Upon A Time to my own liking since post Season 4 writing absolutely botched the story line. Basically retell the most cringe parts of the series that made them do a soft reboot that sunk the show to its grave.
