Thoughts?
man the kuyak is sexy armor
More historical drama schlock
>>62881494
Looks more like Varangians/Slav city state people from the same era.
>>62881894
it is. Because, basically, viking=slav
>>62881494
Fuck, that looks great. Judging by the trailer, Russians do Vikings a lot better than Hollywood does.
>>62881494
>movie about vikings
>they perfectly speaks russian language
Dropped
>>62882838
>>62881894
To me it looks like vikings are fighting the slavs.
I prefer this time period of the vikings more than the period where they raided the western world.
This is more even and bloodier
>>62882781
Russians did fight the vikings after all so they know they didn't have any stupid ass horned helmets or overly aggressive and rambostyle skills.
Hollywood sucks with vikings and probably always will.
>>62882838
Better than them perfectly speaking english? i'd say so.
>>62881494
pretty great. Only problems are the obviously sped up shot and the "stock audio" sounds used.
I'm actually looking forward to seeing this
I wonder if it'll have "official" English subtitles, and if not, how long until someone does it?
Kievan Rus Vikings?
Sounds interestign
>>62884411
That looks way more like Novgorod or Polotsk.
Finally something decent from this period with proper looking armor, weapons, constructions, ships, and no "le quirky bad ass womyn who no need no man" to crush 6'2 foot tall berserkers wielding a warhammer while she stylistically dodges them and kill them ;)

So Finnish Vikings.
>>62885253
Finns never had any vikings
>>62885548
Vikings or not the fact stands that back then those areas and the majority of western Russia were inhabited by Finnish tribes. Not that a Russian film would ever aknowledge that.
>>62883636
It's the same period dingus. Just different vikings, mainly the Swedish ones went east and the Danes west - for obvious reasons.
>>62885631
No it didn't. The very Northern parts were inhabited by some Finnic (not Finnish) tribes, but Novgorod was most certainly Slavic. The vikings didn't really enter much into Finland, due to us being even poorer than them - they did however recently find some evidence of them going up some rivers, and being cut off by chains on both sides and defeated. After the Scandinavians had became Christian another Finnic tribe, the Estonians, actually raided and burned down the recently founded Stockholm - so there was definitely some trade and raiding going both ways across the Baltic.
>everyone is now obsessed with vikings
What went wrong?
>>62885548
Some people from Finland probably joined the Swedish vikings on their Russian voyages, seeing as the closest people genetically to the Rurikids are the Fennoswedes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rurik
>>62883711
HC's vikings has them speak the original historical language (old french, middle english or vikingian:^)) for a bit before switching to English for clarity. The last kingdom shows the different parties not understanding each other even though the actors speak English. The area names are first shown as what they were at the time, and then faded into what they are nowadays - to remind of the context.
So it can't be said that they speak perfect English, though HC's having accents makes it sound better.

>The last kingdom shows the different parties not understanding each other even though the actors speak English
Sort of but then they forget it and have them discuss like they were all English.
>>62881494
looks good
>be Russian
>make a movie about the vikings not the slavs
why
>>62886498
Why are you so sure about that? It's about an invasion, not every war movie must be propaganda, don't be such a good goy.
>>62886031
>The last kingdom shows the different parties not understanding each other
"no"
they did it in the pilot for like 10 seconds and then it went to shit
>>62886612
>movie about slavs
>good goy
there was literally no hollywood movie about slavs or their mythology whatsoever. now there's only the witcher movie made by poles that will have some hollywood producers but still only 30 million dollars budget so it's going to be shit.
>>62881494
I think it looks very good. Very good feel, overall, sound and visuals. Expected less of a non-hollywood production.
Are russians getting good at movies nowadays?
>>62882576
Rus, which was one tribe of norsemen, are the people you refer to.
Viking was a job. An occupation, and not an ethnicity.
>>62883636
As far as I know the vikings operating in modern Russia didnt get to fight much.
Basically they traveled along the rivers, settled a few camps that grew into big and wealthy towns, and from those towns grew the several russian states that one day became modern Russia.
Then again, I am no expert.
>>62886781
Thats pretty sad, actually. I hadnt realized how bad slavs have it.
>>62886781
they make their own movies dumb fuck
>>62886893
kek:^(
Look at this, especially Norwegians, Pollacks and Russkies.
Same people.
>>62886893
Now type it in russian maybe ?
>>62886893
>muh slavs are slavs and subhumans
>>62886498
They have plenty of movies about russian history.

>>62885947
Neo-pagan propaganda? I'd rather watch a movie about the Anglo-Saxons removing Norsemen at Brunnanburh and creating a unified England or something, tbqh.
>>62887017
You are aware that ubermench refers more to a state of mind, and not genetics, right?
Its meant for philosophers, not soldiers.
>>62886842
the reason nobody gives a fuck about your post is because you posted that gross bitch by the way
>>62887074
Russian and Polish philosophy, art and science beats the germanic one without any problem.
That's like comparing Gods to mortals.
>>62887057
>why do people like what i dont like?
>i'd prefer they like what i like
Okay? What you said has no value, but thanks for sharing I guess.
at least no strong womyn in the units. as it should be.
>>62887105
Just giving some ideas about more interesting plots than "vikings kill things," maybe someone else will be interested :^)
>>62887081
>dissing my waifu

>declaring Anita as a waifu
So you're the first to get shot on Rope Day, right?
>>62886663
They did it a bunch of times, they can't talk to each other without someone who understands the language. They even make fun of the mc's accent a few times.
>>62887172
It would be so hot if they started making out
>>62887172
>>62887323
Anita will become my personal footslut on rope day
>>62887524
>>62887323
>shooting and fucking
Will there be any actual roping done on rope day?
>>62887092

>>62881894
Newsflash, Russia and Ukraine were both founded by scandinavians who traveled down the Volga. They called the place Gardariki, which later morphed into Kievan Rus. They had the same gods and names as their germanic brothers up north but gradually changed it over time, and then Cyrill that orthodox asshole from the byzantine empire invented glagolithic all of this pan-slavist sentiment started to form. Basically this is also what caused both WW1 and WW2
But i digress

Is the current russian chauvinist neo-pagan nationalist crowd cheering for WE WUZ GERMANIC VIKINGZ?
>>62887495
Yet Obba the Younger and Alfred himself continously talks to Danes without any translators.

>What are verifiable objective historical facts
>What is basic history
>What are the ethnogenetic realities of eastern europe as proven in a plethora of studies and scientific/archeologial research papers
Kill yourself you tumblredditor SJW retard.
>>62889288
>verifiable objective historical facts
And among these would be Rurik being a finn and Novgorod area being inhabited mostly by finnic people before the slavic people came and pushed them northward. Now Estonia and some minorities in neighbouring countries remain.
>>62889286
You do realize the main character was originally a saxon, right? Also
>obba
>alfred
kek
>>62889474
Yes and I named 2 characters who are Saxon and haven't lived among Danes for the majority of their lives continously talking to Danes without a translator.
Stop fanboying that show so hard. It's somewhat entertaining but the quality is rather low.
