afaik:
>verified religion that glorifies death through violence as the way to the good afterlife
>only dying in battle while truly trying to win counts
>some of them are mixing in hallucinogenic drugs to literally go berserk
>civil disputes are often settled by one-on-one combat
>men and women are all trained in martial skills

Fearless and truly trying to win at all costs. How could that ever bring forth shit warriors? Maybe they have strengths and weaknesses considering the differing styles of fighting of contemporaries and the state of their military technology but let's also remember that vikings and their decendents ruled over many European kingdoms.

I dont know about the sources you bring forth though. They look more like clickbait and troll material than anything else.

Every time the Vikings faced something that wasn't a pacifist Catholic monastery or a levy of starving Saxon peasants, they got BTFO spectacularly. Hell, they made better merchants than they did warriors. Those longboats were better for finding trade hubs than finding raid spots.

People who died from sickness or old age went to Hel's realm so this ''le ebin valhalla xD'' is a dumb fucking meme besides only half of the warriors went ot Valhalla to begin with the other half went to Folkvangr

Norse weren't a warrior culture you daft fuck
