Hey dumbass, gods aren't real.
>>67759892
They read the script, so they knew they wouldn't need them. Ragnar did not read it therefore he got surprised.
Really though why the fuck didn't Lagertha's party use their shields? Those on the boats at least tried.
>Ragnar uses Opium
>its ......
I stopped watching Vikings some time after they already explored the west, and the series developed into a some kind of civil war (I remember Rolo being a bitch, Lagertha seeking attention, and Ragnar not doing shit).
I think it lost its appeal to me, at that point. But, is it worth giving it a second chance? Does it get any better?

Nope. One of the main characters is a chinese slave who happens to be the daughter of the emperor of China and is somehow feeding Ragnar loads of opium.
seriously
The best scenes this season have been of Bjorn Ironside and the bear.
I hope they'll make a Harbard spin off where he is the bull cucking all of scandinavia.
>>67760247
explain?
what the fuck is up with that guy?
did he literally call all the hot women to gather around and just started making out and fucking them?
I expected to see some husbands too clapping as he was cucking them in public
>>67760397
>They read the script, so they knew they wouldn't need them
>>67763246
The guy is Odin, seriously, it's confirmed in the official wiki. Harbard was a pseudonym Odin uses in the legends when he goes around fucking other guy's wives while they're off raiding. That was totally his thing. Then he leaves a trail of sons behind him. Also, he makes good eggs.
>you will never cuck an entire village of nordic women
why live
>mfw Ragnar says that he is descended from Odin
>mfw this means Odin fucked one of his ancestors in human form (Harbard)
>mfw Odin is technically cucking his own son
What a badass oh my god
>>67760247
the guy is literally the ancestor of Rasputin, champion of sociopathic wife-fuckers.
What the fuck even happened in that weird ass Floki is fucking Aslaug, but he's actually Harbard scene?
>>67765516
Floki is becoming the new seer, he's having vision
Whose head was Ragnar talking to in his medicinal hallucinations? It looked a bit like Floki but can't be. Ragnar didn't even kill anyone in the episode, whose head is it?
>>67766933
why are you all obsessed with this head, it's just a guy that got rekt during the raid
>>67765516
Harbard fucks Aslaug
Harbard is Odin
Odin is a god
Floki is becoming a seer
Seers communicate with gods

He's Loki you stupid fuck

but goddamn if the accent she puts on isn't annoying as fuck
>>67769408
GIVE ME MY CHINESE MEDICINE
>>67763329
Official wiki or not Harbard is contested in the source material. If you go off the story Ragnar tells the kids about the ferryman fucking with thor then it is Loki. The source material leaves it vague so it could either be Loki or Odin pretending to be Loki pretending to be a ferryman to fuck with Thor.
Makes more sense to me if its Loki since hes tricking people left and right and killing kids and Siggy etc and getting Ivar ready to be a raiding boss
>>67760728

when?
>>67773530
Not that guy, but Rollo betrayed him and beat him in the last battle.
Eckbert destroyed his settlement and killed all the settlers.
It kinda bothers me that they've made almost every character unlikable. For a bunch of legendary vikings, they sure have some incredibly bad character traits. They're all backstabbing, neurotic traitors.
So far, the only characters I still like are Eckbert, Harald and Bjorn. Eckbert is an ass, but he's a charismatic, intelligent ass, who knows how to manipulate everyone around him to do his bidding. Though I have no idea what he sees in that earless cunt he's dicking.
Harald shows potential and seems to enjoy himself when things turn shit around him, and I'm guessing he'll play a larger role in the future, given that he's legendary the king who united Norway.
Bjorn isn't a very interesting character and has some cheesy scenes, but they seem to be developing his character in the right direction, and so far he's shown himself to be the only one who acts like a true warrior who doesn't whine or stab his friends and family in the back.
>>67773530
ecbert fucked lagertha and destroyed the viking settlement, and Rollo raped the whole Viking ummah last episode
>>67774116
>It kinda bothers me that they've made almost every character unlikable.
Not to mention the fact that they ALWAYS LOSE.
Even when it goes well for some viking, it's always bittersweet. Even when Ragnar plots and schemes to perfection, the end result is basically fruitless. 'Vikings' is constant suffering for the vikings. It's like watching a show that constantly teases something climactic, something satisfying, yet never delivers.

What historical character will they butcher next?
Rollo
>in reality: A charismatic warlord who despite losing most of his battles in Francia was still impressive enough to make them want to use him to protect French coast in exchange of a swamp
>in the show: Some vicious treacherous faggot who's so jealous of his brother (despite owing him everything) that he literally massacred all his men in a heartbeat (while real one settled Normandy with them)
Count Odo
>In reality: A young and charismatic Frankish lord who heroically defended Paris with 200 men against 30,000 vikings, thus leading him to be elected as the next King after Charles the fat died
>in the show: A disgusting fat old man with BDSM fetish who plot in the dark to overthrow his emperor
Æthelwulf
>In reality: A great king who was essential in stopping vikings from entirely taking over England
>In the show: A beta fool cucked by a monk and his own father
>>67776901
I didn't need to know these things. Ignorance is bliss.
>>67776901
They will make Alfred a cuck who despite his military victories enjoys watching Ivar the Boneless have sex with his wife. Bet on it.
>>67776901
why do history fags always show up and try to ruin everything?
We knew from episode 1 this was a fictional show. I'm not even sure what your point is supposed to be.
>this retard watches abraham lincoln vampire hunter
>REEEEEEE HE NEVER HUNTED VAMPIRES REEEEEEE
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you? Are you autistic? Do you not actually understand this isn't supposed to be accurate to reality? You would think this episode of floki turning into eggman would have tipped you off before you made such a monumentusly stupid post. You're honestly the worst type of person.

>>67777365
Rollo isn't even supposed to be related to Ragnar in any way. He became Duke of Normandy in 911 while the Siege of Paris (the successful one) happened in 845 and the way it was portrayed is also complete bullshit
That whole busting out of the casket thing while pretending to be dead was something that Bjorn actually did when he raided some Italian city.
Personally, I'm not bothered very much by the inaccuracies, I just find them to be incredibly stupid when the real historical story is so much better.
>>67779254
Nobles had big input in who gets to be King and wars over succession were very common.
>>67779254
Kings derived their power from the nobles.
>>67779254
Go play CK2 or something.
>>67779254
Falling for the primogeniture meme.
Bjorn's arc been p decent this season.
>>67780001
yeah it's coming full circle, he's growing to be the badass described in the legend and historical accounts. I've always found it funny that Bjorn's existence is commonly accepted, yet Ragnar's is not
>>67780001
Bjorn is best viking now
Previously on Vicucks...
>>67780128
Is the child Guthrum on the show meant to be the one in Last Kingdom or what?
>>67780128
>>67780173
Yeah the actor managed to pull off the whole innawoods boy to man transition.
>>67780128
I just have no idea what they're going to have Bjorn doing. They already stole his most memorable moment from history and gave it to Ragnar
RAGNAR WASN'T EVEN A REAL PERSON HE WAS JUST A LEGEND WHAT THE FUCK THIS SHOW IS A LIE
>>67780491
Guthrum doesn't appear in Vikings at all.
The kid Ubba, however, is this guy from the Last Kingdom. Ivar makes an appearence in the books also. I'm liking the small details where you can drawn parallels between the two shows.
>>67780989
There is a Guthrum tho. Erlendur has got possession of him and was using him as a bargaining chip to get Torvi to do dodgy stuff.
>>67761783
I don't think it's opium, she wouldn't ask him "But don't you want to sleep?" when he wants more.
Probably some kind of stimulant. If you're an opiate addict, you'd have more troubles sleeping without it than with it.
>>67769485
>5kg plates
>deadlift with soft soles
why is nobody offended fucking dyels
>>67781146
Oh, that kid. I looked it up and the wiki states it's supposed to be that Guthrum.
>>67769467
It's like they didn't get the duality of the scene with Floki.
>>67781231
Gonna read those Bernard Cornwell books I think.
>>67781287
Yep. Water torture cave shit about as literal as possible to be.
>>67780989
> dat armor
It's even shittier then then armor on Vikings...
>>67759804
Im too high for this shit.
>>67782289
These show should just hire larpers at this point, at least we would get chainmail.
What triggers you the most about this show?
For me, it's a tie between the English helmets and the matching uniforms
>>67782924
I don't get why they can't get half decent outfits for anybody.
I'm fine with the Vikings being covered in fur and leather, but they should at least have chain mail under it.
I get Saxon helmets are detailed as fuck but they just need maybe 5 high quality ones for close ups and then like 30 meh quality ones.
>>67783215
>I get Saxon helmets are detailed as fuck
only the expensive ones, you think some random bum soldier can afford something like in your picture?
>>67759804
yea, it was like: BREEEAKKK!!!
As if they went 30 knots, all they needed to do is reverse oars.
I trained in those 8 sitters(slim and actually really , really fast...), it can go up to 60-70kmph(and if need be ,we could break in mater of meters..), yet, those viking boats didnt go faster than 10, maybe 20 kmph
>>67783679
>american education
Can you imagine what new even crazier death traps Paris would have installed if the vikings even made it back to the walls?
>>67774324
The Walking Norse.
>>67777677
Then do a straight rip off of GoT, you plebbian fuck. Don't base it on real characters, real events and air it on a channel called History.
The worse part is history is more than interesting enough without this stupid fantasy shit.
Kys
>>67782924
The way they abandon history to tell a much lamer story.
Take Rollo for example. This guy wasn't some butthurt defector who slaughtered his own men. He was a warlord in his own right and raided Normandy all the time. The Frankish Emperor made him Duke and gave him his daughter because so that he and his men could act as a buffer against raids instead of causing them. Shit, Rollo goes on to be semi-independent in Normandy and his grandson William goes on to conquer England. In the show the Emperor gives away his daughter to gain a grand total of 1 man with no resources which is beyond retarded.
So much better than this dogshit Rollo. He is the brother of the king yet somehow he whines about failed ambitions?
>>67782924
this is the worst shit I've ever seen. that armor and some 16th century helmets.
>>67784569
>>67784569
Weren't those helmets used in another show?
>>67784853
yeah the Borgias. I understand reusing props when you can't afford to make new ones but using a helmet from nearly 800 years after vikings is set bugs me
>>67784853
I mean don't get me wrong, I happy that my nigga Rollo btfo'd raiding party. But why did the vikings decide to yolo trough towers, why didn't they they deploy full land assault? Even if there were no chains it would still be better then just ride trough towers and be like sitting ducks
>>67785122
paris was surrounded by rivers or sth
>>67781204
Nobody gives a shit about your autistic
>lifting heavy things
hobby
>>67785122
it would have taken them longer to move through the swampy land surrounding paris. they hoped to do another raid and capture as much stuff as possible. if they moved on land the higher their chances of meeting a frankish army.
>>67785163
>>67785243
What about taking out the towers and then swimming trough?
>>67785331
that was the plan, they got repelled
>>67782924
The way saxons are portrayed. They were a badass germanic warrior society, like the norse, who had their shit fucked up by constant wars among themselves.
>>67785122
vikings stuck to their boats, raided and left quickly
they didn't like being on land
>>67784853
Borgias
>>67779254
When a dinasty ends with no heir, it's either an election between the nobles or civil war.
>>67785122
Show vikings aren't particularly bright. These guys don't even wear armor and in this particular episode left 80% of their fleet just standing there holding their dicks while Lagertha takes a small band of people to assault 1 fort.
Even if their plan had worked they would have left a significant Frankish force in their rear who could then easily pillage their camp which is what fucking happened. And their response? They retreat. Against 2 tiny forts being held by what - a hundred people at best?
The show has a very odd way of going full retard at times.
>>67782289
Who the fuck told you it's an armor?
>>67785580
maybe they would have stood a better chance if ragnar wasn't cracked out
>>67779254
Look, an elected king in the present day
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elective_monarchy
>>67785580
The entire point of a fort or castle is that you can hold your ground with very few people. Those 100 could have stood their ground against ragnar's entire army for quite some time. It's all abou the position.
>>67785790
These are the forts in question. If you think that can hold an entire army you're just delusional.
>>67786084
the frogs literally did it IRL, it was in a similar fort
>>67786217
Yeah, only historians agree that the dude who wrote the account of what happened is a massive exaggerator and it happened at Paris not in the middle of bumfuck nowhere.
Having 2 towers and a city is quite different from having 2 towers in the middle of nowhere not to mention that most of the vikings did in fact sail up river while a minority stayed to besiege Paris for months. Point is, the show is full of shit.
I used to hate Rollo but after he turned Frank i'm starting to like this traitor again. Ragnar is to busy getting drugged by his chinese waifu
tfw no Varingian spin-off show.
>>67786084
The show's battles and set pieces have always been laughably small because of the budget.
>>67778356
They use some of the legends of real life mythological figures and historical events to have a good basis but they obviously take a lot of artistic liberty to make the story (in their mind) better. The raid of Lindisfarne happened 50 years before the attack on Paris but they took those events and made it so that they were perpretated by the same person to make it more interesting.
Is it just me or is the pacing of this show so fucking off? And we haven't really gotten any payoff either. I'm not even sure where any of the characters are headed. The character arcs feel weird. It just has this feeling of poor writing overall.
>>67778356
They use stories and names from the "younger edda", which is very mythical.
