Vikings > GoT
Does /tv/ agree?
Reasons why the series is better:
- There are no black people in Vikings
- There are no known gay people in Vikings
- It is somewhat based on history
both series started off well and proceeded to turn to shit
>it is somewhat based on history
no it isnt
>>63507007
Game of Thrones is about as 'based on history' as vikings, since GoT is just an exaggerated war of roses.
Both are laden with bullshit >womynstronk anyway
>>63507007
>There are no known gay people in Vikings
Ragnar has a threesome with his wife and Athelstan senpai. Pretty gay if you ask me desu
>>63507031
It isn't historically accurate, but it is definitely based on history. Most of the characters in the show existed IRL.
For example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gisela_of_France
>>63507092
No he doesn't. He asks Athelstan that to piss him off
>>63507092
Threesomes aren't necessarily gay, most threesomes involve two guys sharing one girl.
>>63507118
>The marriage and the existence of Gisela are not confirmed. It has been suggested that, if she really did exist, she may have been a natural daughter of Charles.
most of the shows characters are semi-historical at best, and the show takes further liberties with what are already characters known mainly from myths and oral traditions.
as someone said, its about as based in actual history as got
>>63507118
>Gisela had no children.
The best girl doesn't have a child with Rollo?
>>63507199
>its about as based in actual history as got
So which characters in GoT existed IRL?
And what places in GoT existed IRL?
Vikings is aryan and redpilled as fuck yeah

>Thinking about watching Vikings
>See thread
>"Oh I like GoT, this show is even better?
>See reasons listed as to why it's better
>"oh this guys an idiot"
>Don't want to watch Vikings as much anymore
Season 3 was worse than S5 of GoT
>>63507007
Both shit, Game of Thrones at least starting good, then just went down hill. Vikings is the most bland boring show I've ever seen.
>>63508367
Don't let me put you off, anon. Try an episode.
It is a good series.

Knowing that the BBC has something to do with it I just know there's going to be a black guy in it.
Please tell me I'm wrong. If there are no black people in the series I'll give it a watch.
>>63508775
That joke doesn't work because we were actually Vikings and shit.
The point of the "we wuz kings and shit" joke is to make fun of the black people lying about their history. Unlike black people, we don't need to lie about our history to feel good about ourselves.
>>63508775
That was awful, worse than any Norr post he's ever made.
Kill yourself.
>>63507007
>tfw they killed off based Athelstan
>>63508783
there is no black and the main guy is alpha as fuck
>>63508964
It was for the best. Ragnar was getting a bit obsessive.
>>63507007
The Last Kingdom > Vikings > GoT
>>63508783
If you like viking, you will like last kingdom, it's decent and for nothing else, it's interesting to follow the story on the other side/from another angle.
>>63508972
So did Reddit lie?
https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/3occ2j/someone_watched_this_new_show_the_last_kingdom/cvwiyvh
Reddit says there was a black guy living in Wales.
>>63507007
yes
plus it has pic related
absolute anal material
vikings is one of the greatest shows i have had the pleasure to watch. people are turned off because it's on the history channel, but if it was on HBO, AMC, anything like that, it'd be MASSIVE.
show gets better as it goes on...every episode is at least an 8/10.
got is great too, but vikings fucking nails it

I've recommended Vikings to a lot of people, and they were turned off as it was on the History Channel. I guess they feel it will have a really low budget feel, like a lot of the old History Channel used to have.
Really fucking sucks, but it's also great because it means it hasn't really become a meme show.
>>63508911
you are wrong though. There are so many different kingdoms of Africa. you have the kingdom of the Kongo, you have the Ashante people. All with kings and queens. How about you read a book before meming this hard faglord.
>>63509298

>>63507130
>>63507177
I agree with both of these points, but you can't deny Ragnar's relationship with Athelstan looked pretty gay in the last season or so.
>>63509431
>not AthelstanxEggbert
>>63509405
get ready to be annoyed af by utrid son utrid's stupidity and amazed at his constant success
cannot fucking wait.
>>63509380
They lie about being Egyptian kings because they're literally the only noteworthy kings in Africa.
>>63507007
>>63507007
Vikings has one of the most god awful acting in television. Only Echbert is worth watching in this series.
They also make the Vikings enemies plains stupid just to advance the plot.
GOT>Vikings but that doesn't really say much since they're both shit.
>>63509431
i saw it more as a brotherly love.
>>63509532
what's ew about ragnar being in the fucking warcraft movie as lothar? you know it's just gonna be his viking character but on a massive screen.
>>63509565
you couldn't pay me to see that movie.
>>63509633
why? you can't just say something like that and not give any reasons
>>63509550
mansa musa, shaka zulu
>>63509675
i never played warcraft. i go to movie theaters maybe twice a year and only for serious films. i dislike heavy cgi. i dislike the current state of major motion pictures. i dislike the vast majority of video games and what they represent.
>>63507007
as usual, season one was great and full of promises
then it got too popular for its own good, killed off side characters seemingly because producers think watchers/test audiences are retarded and can't follow more than a handful of characters and plots and got to shit by S3funny how this sorta fit for both series
>>63509678
Who?
>>63509706
what do they represent? i understand people can hate heavily cgi stuff, and i understand that you're not interested due to not playing the games.
i was a runescape player more than a wow/warcraft player...i think everyone was either one of the other.
>>63509706
>only for serious films
>>63507007

Its a ten from me here in the studio Jeff.
>>63509678
>Mansa Musa
Just happened to be on a bunch of gold. Didn't accomplish much beyond benefitting from dumb luck.
>Shaka Zulu
Kills a bunch of other Africans and gets wrecked by the British
Fantastic
Can't we just all agree that The Last Kingdom is better than both and call it a thread?
>>63509812
i haven't seen this yet, is it really that good?
>>63509812
I dunno f@m, I think I like Vikings better tbthwy.
>>63509869
>that good
Well, it was mostly worth it because of pic related if you ask me. He just added something special to the series.
Vikings, and Black Sails, are the greatest historically set shows of the last few years.
>>63510081
>there will never be a series finale as good as s2 black sails
>>63509196
Underrated.
>>63510190
>expecting non-vikings watchers to listen to that and think it's funny
it is fucking funny
>>63510135
I wouldn't say the best, but it's definitely up there. People stopped watching Black Sails after around half way through season 1, and they missed out on the best of it.
Really is so sad to see a show as good as this has gotten, never be mentioned.
>>63510135
Really? I'm at the beginning of the second season and, so far, the series hasn't really grabbed me.
I wonder why though, as I like both GoT, Vikings, and The Last Kingdom. Black Sails is not a bad series, I'm just -- not really invested for some reason.
>>63510257
imagine s1 as the prologue, and s2 as the actual start. it only gets better, and i guarantee by the finale you'll be so glad you kept on with it.
>>63510257
It goes like this.
>Black Sails S2
>Vikings S1-3
>GoT S1-3
>Black Sails S1

vikings were literally nigger barbarians pillaging and looting so its funny when they try to feel proud about that
>>63510081
I work night shift right now and basically need to stay awake in case anything happens. Is black sails enjoyable enough that I won't feel bored, if the first season is really how you guys are saying?
>>63507007
i dunno... i cant find a decent torrent of the damn show! 720p uncensored version does not seem to exist anywhere.
>>63509812
I couldn't be bothered past episode 4 cause all the acting was apalling.
Got extra annoyed by the light hearted anachronistic humor and banter that would get a cunt stoned in the middle ages.
At least vikings has sweet atmosphere, OST and Ragnar carrying the show.
>>63510610
Floki was best character until he went a bit crazy in season 3.
>>63511163
>floki
>went crazy
Hehe, good one friend.
>>63510850
black sails season 1 isn't bad at all, just a little slow, but completely fucks shit up in a good way in season 2.
>>63507007
still mad about Gyda
at least Athelstan had a fun life
>>63508775
they will never get it anon...
