[TV] Vikings - Page 6

This is the dumbest complaint I've ever heard. It's entirely obvious that when the Vikings are speaking English back in Scandinavia, they aren't literally speaking "English" in-character.

If someone is too stupid to realize how this simple mechanic works, that's their loss. It's definitely not a fault of the shows. It's a lot better than just having a third of the show in subtitles to babysit the audience members incapable of applying a little common sense to different contexts.

Just came to check this thread again and lold at how aggressive people were about my post... what the fuck is your problem? No I didn't understand that was the case, and nor do I see how it was obvious (everyone I know that watch the series wondered the same thing). I've never seen it in another movie/series before, maybe that's why I didn't see it. Do you have to get butthurt over that?

This just reminds me of why I stopped coming to this forum in the first place, people are so stuck up.



just a perfect example of how passive-aggressive people are here... yeah man I must be incapable of applying common sense, I'm such a retard. Or perhaps I just don't live in America, you know here in Sweden we don't "Americanize" every fucking movie to our own language.

inb4 a bunch of Scandinavians jump in and say "herp derp i understood it just perfectly" yeah well congratufuckinglations to you then

Sure I would too, I just didn't see how it made any sense. But hey, now that these gentlemen so *kindly* explained that to me, I understand WHY atleast.

did the viking have some kind of super creepy ass dude requirement or policy for their religious leaders or what?

I enjoy this show very much, though i'd like if somebody would explain me a couple of things>

1. After Ragnar's trial, when he was found innocent, what was that ambush about at the inn? They stab the huge blond warrior than they enter the inn and get their asses kicked. Then, nothing happens for a while. The Arl just sent a meek assasination attempt and nobody gave a crap, not even he apparently? This leads to my next question

2. After a few, i guess weeks, of silence, the Arl arrives at where Ragnar lived and starts butchering the people. WTF? If i understood correctly, at that point he had a farm, not a village. Dindt all those men belong to the Arl rather than Ragnar? And leading up to this it seemed that the vikings are obiding their own laws by the book, and than just a random assasination attempt and a slaughter of a village, and nobody cares?

3. How could 3 ship worth of viking which even by optimistic estimation is less than 100 men hoped to beat the King of Northumbria? If it was Spartacus i wouldnt even ask, but again, till that point it seemed to me, that it's fairly realistic, and it's not 1 viking is worth 10 of anything so the odds are actually in our favor.

4. Did the vikings of old really sacrifice their own warriors like goats to the gods?

I've just watched ep5 and I like it so far. If I have a concern though, it's that the show seems a bit unidimensional. At least so far, the Jarl is essentially purely evil. Not sure how someone like that would actually rule over others... I guess maybe it worked like that in those societies? I dunnos. Good show though.

last episode was weird.... ragnar seemed alot spookier than he was previously, all because he wants more sons(sounds weird to me because i felt his wife was more of the feminist type in where they had apparently a pretty equal relationship and all of a sudden he turns mad patriach?

I don't understand why he would want to sacrifice the priest, when the guy had kinda integrated their society.

Im sad about the rolo character (his bro), at first i thought hed be somewhat of key element to the story, now he just looks weak and meatheaded (its obvious hes gonna turn against ragnar one day)

still i think theres alot more coming out of this serie, i like it so far
