Samael

another similarity with thorfinn and levi is they both grew up malnourished so they're not gonna be as tall as they could've been

Wulfheart

In case you were wondering: The start with Thors is 987 Story starts in 1002 - Thorfinn is 6 First time skip is 1008 (episode 6) - Thorfinn is 12 It's 1012 in this episode - Thorfinn is 16

Also the story is following real history, the English DID massacre Danish settled villages in Danelaw, which caused Sweyn to actively start and increase raiding the English coast for roughly a decade+, this season is the depiction of THAT particular conflict from the perspective of Thorfinn's fictional history (who BTW was a very real historical person, Thorfinn Karlsefni, but we don't know anything about his young life thus the extreme liberties of the show)

Viking is just a term to describe a raider/Pirate of Scandinavian origin (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish), fierce, yes, not OP though, and they CAN be matched by the regular English kingdom Army, man for man (except for FEW characters). They are bandits and occasionally mercenaries for hire for the right group (in this case it's Sweyn Folkbeard, King of Denmark). Askeladd's group are primarily mercenaries (who raid a LOT, obviously, they're Vikings) but the burning, pillaging, murder, rape? ALL armies did that, English or Scandinavian, still do it even, till modern times, albeit less. Jomsvikings are professional mercenaries, the most revered group with a foreboding reputation under the direct employment of King Sweyn (As opposed to 3rd party employments of the smaller raider mercenary groups like Askeladd).

Loved the password for this episode. I named my dog Floki after Floki "The boat builder" in Vikings lore.

Episode 8 still coming this week?? I need it

celery

seriously

mariah

They definitely would not like it at least not yet

luffy

are we getting ep 8?

Shiro

Exactly! And also I think Cannon said in one of the videos that why don’t they have shields to protect from arrows. It is important to remember that weapons, horses were very expensive then, not every common soldier could afford these. Those with a higher military rank had better equipment which increased their odds of survival. One must never underestimate the role of economics and technology in the past !

Shiro

Yes, I was just going to say that! Nutrition plays such a huge role in human development, and if Thorfinn is pretty much fending for himself since age 6, he is most certainly malnourished

Mia Malvik

this is true! one of the reasons vikings were so successful was because of their unique boats that they could carry over small distances and catch the enemy off guard

icynub

No they gotta start with something bada$$ like demon slayer

James

He came from the Spirited Away world.

James

If you mix Levi and Eren together, you get a Thorfinn.

Ledish

His name is Jabbathe!

Mia Malvik

There's so much history and mythology to this show that I could rant about forever but it's probably more fun to watch this this blind so I'll hold back 🫡 But Jörmungandr is the world serpent in norse mythology and it circles the entire world (midgard) biting its own tail. Funnily enough, he's the son of Loki lol

Sham3ful

I'd love that but idk what they'll be into after they catch up to Vinland s2 (at least that'd be done by time they finish s1)

7thdilemma

"No way he went from 6 to 8." "It says 17." "It was 9 years... er 11 years?" I know he just thought 8 to 17 instead of 6, but I still laughed.

EK

ep 8 plz..im dying..lol

keyton bush

yeah

brian

if i remember correctly, this episode was the first chapter in the manga. so in the mangaka's early art, the character design for the frank is the only real one that looks jarring / wonky.

Ceecee

Who knows they might try something new

Tim Moore

That show is NOT the vibe

kingkoopa98

I can't wait until you guys reach around episode 11 the show gets so much better

Ceecee

Please watch Oshi No Ko 🥺✨

celery

yes hes just a short king lmfaoo

Audreyldo

Thorfinn’s development is insane, can’t wait for you to see that

Joie Dianzon

Thorfinn is about 16-17 this time. Somebody explained that this is similar to “Levi syndrome” which means that due to lack of proper nutrition required for children, and constantly being in survival mode, he has stunted growth. If he had stayed with his family, he would have been very similar to his father because remember, even his sister is a strong and tall young woman. Moreover, when Thorfinn was 6, he was about as tall as those 10 year old kids he used to play with. 😔

jul ☽

Watching this rn and laughing at "He looks like a toad" omg

BipolarKitten

"He looks like a toad". 🤣

Shiro

Also, I think Viking boats were very light, so they did carry them on land over short distances. And some evidence of vikings using psychedelic berserker mushrooms as well, though one cannot know for sure!

Bradley Acosta

This shows is amazing. Can't wait for your guys' reaction!!

Shiro

I think it would be good if you guys paid attention or even made notes of the years they keep flashing. That way, you will know exactly how old the characters are...Thorfinn in episodes 1-5 is 6 years old, I think last episode around 15:51 they flashed the year and the place...you will need to go back and calculate the age of Thorfinn (I think they flashed 2 years in the first episode - one when Thors is on the Norway campaign, and second when he is in Iceland with his family). Also, DO NOT look up characters ages or anything, YOU WILL BE SPOILED!
