At what point did you realize Vikings had jumped the shark?

Furthermore, at what point did they get themselves back on track? It seems to me that the show reached this fever pitch of retardation with muslims in Scandinavia, Chinese slaves, bdsm, drugs, lesbian jarls, and other nonsense, and then out of the blue Ragnar died and everything went very historical and toned down again. Did they get some sort of backlash that put the fear of God back in the producers to cut out the globohomo?

For me it was the Chinese opium bitch subplot that had zero purpose but to derail the story and showcase muliticulti garbage in what was otherwise a very historically grounded series.

Is it even remotely possibly for that to have happened? (historically)

No, not even remotely possible. Character was cringe but at least her death scene was satisfying.

kino

Don't the Vikings live right next to Finnland? What's the problem?

season 1, when ragnar offered that monk to bang his wife lagartha. Dropped the show right there and then.

kek

No, it was the opposite in Middle Ages times. Vikings raided other white people and sold white girls and white eunuchs to Muslims. Radhanite Jews went even further east in Asia and sold white women and boy eunuchs to Chinese in Tang dynasty China and Indians in India besides Muslims. The Arab Muslim historians and writers made it very clear that Europe exported female slaves and eunuchs, not imported in the early Medieval era.

My father rage-quit the show after that part too lol

Yeah I think it's the muslims.

Thank god people have lost interests.

she's cute

It's no shock that they're doing the same exact thing today.

season six is awful. Boring and dull. Ivar is disgusting to see and his acting is the worse.
Also they are missing the point having modern conversationg with viking-era terminology

At least they’re making some effort at historical accuracy again

>EVERY SINGLE TIME

What?

I hated it from the start. Only pretended to love it cause I wanted to hang out with my brother, he started to hate it when Ragnar died.

Same

>very historically grounded series.
utter retard

The mongols hadn't mixed with them yet

I hated how the monk died, it felt like they were building his character up to do something big and then he just dies in a random episode. Then the show proceeds to do this a million more times with every single character they introduce.

Absolute shit.

that fucking raccoon make-up....

every 3rd fighter being some ridiculous looking cunt, with a bitch-face expression....

it is fucking unwatchable.

I like how Ragnar just drowns the Chinese bitch making that whole plotline redundant. It's like they introduced her as part of some focus test then the group got tired of her so they just kill her off in the most unceremonious fashion.

athelstan death is when the series really died

ep1 season 2. As soon as that blueball s1 cliffhanger was resolved almost immediately.

>nobody mentions the giant spike wheel during the siege of Paris
saw than and quit it after the siege ended

What giant spike wheel? I know those siege towers were kino as fuck

The Bojack Horseman of live action tv

>forgetting the finno-korean hyperwar

spike wheel is all i remember about that season

I haven't watched since Ragnar died, I got sick of the female armies btfoing men like it was nothing and the cripples obnoxious scream
>BRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

>historically grounded series
lol no. that subplot is also the biggest pleb filter in vikings (unironically lynchian) which then peaked with ragnar's death and had one of the sharpest drops I've seen in television

I think it's theoretically possible like it's possible for a man to hand build a small castle if he works an entire lifetime. There's like 5 recorded people to make the trip from Europe to Asia-ish or vice versa including and prior to Marco Polo.

>very historically grounded series

Season 1 Episode 1 had like 3 major historical inaccuracies that weren't even internet nerd nitpicking like "leather armour didn't exist wahhh"

This. Ragnar/the actual fucking actual is in mourning after this and just malingers until he too dies.

>muslims in Scandinavia, Chinese slaves
i hope you dont find any of that unrealistic or ahistorical, OP. you'd be in error to do so.

the operative word being "recorded", you moron. trade was all over the place, it just wasnt recorded. what do you think where the popes in rome were getting their silk cloth from all the time?

Got any more of that Chinese medicine?

jej

It was always SJW bs from the very first season with warrior women and Vikings literally asking a captured monk to fuck their wife or have a threesome. They called you a stormweenie for pointing that out and are now bewildered of the logical conclusion of this shitfest.

Not from literal chink merchants coming to Rome you retard

Literally in the first season when they introduced cuckolding, obligatory sex scenes
this trash series was always trash

I expected some good mythology or historical shit, instead I got mexican telenovela tier drama but now with a pozzed ancient nordic backdrop

Obviously the silk road existed. But in segmented circuits. Traders traded with other traders. No need to travel back and forth entirely yourself. Even Gan Ying, who is one of the only first hand early accounts of Chinese perception of the West, only made it as far as western Persia before he decided to head back.

Hell Journey to the West is probably partly such a legend because people in China did not casually walk over to even India every day, let alone Norway.

"shield maidens"

You didn't know he was just trolling him and

...and? AND WHAT user HOW DOES THE STORY END??

A tragic candlejack vi-

When it went full fantasy at the end of season 1.

Ragnar asking Athelstan if he wanted to bang Lagertha was meant to highlight the differences between their cultures.

Only person with a brain in this itt thread

>Well you didn't get the cuckolding scene, akshually it was meant o highlight cultural differences

you city slickers are legit mentally ill

cute

>Ragnar asking Athelstan if he wanted to bang Lagertha was meant to highlight the differences between their cultures.
Look at my picture. This is fucking you to a tee.
No shit it was highlighting the differences of their cultures. Implying that Vikings were basically hippies who practiced free love and let others fuck their wifes.

It's also possible that Athelsten, being a slave, wasn't considered a person. And if your wife wanted to fuck him, it would be like using a sex toy.

fuck that shit. Last Kingdom all the way

>It's also possible that Athelsten, being a slave, wasn't considered a person. And if your wife wanted to fuck him, it would be like using a sex toy.
lmao the absolute lengths blacked cucks will go to to rationalize their pathetic and pathologic fetish.

When Ragnar's brother learns french in one day and his wife immediately flips from hating him to loving him

I always knew it was pretty trash but around S2-3 I lost interest and only watched it out of a feeling of obligation, I stopped some time after the attack on Paris. In season 1 if was at least fun, they had a single boat and the Jarl was fucking with Ragnar, it felt grounded in reality and there was a real feeling that Ragnar was a plucky underdog facing off against all these powerful people.

I also really didn't like how the Anglo-Saxons and their relationship with the Norse was handled as well. They white washed the vikings and made the Anglo-Saxons a bunch or incompetent, evil buffoons (minus Egbert) that were almost deserving of getting invaded. They tried to back peddle on this later as well which was awkward and hard as fuck due to the massive character bloat the series experienced.


The Last Kingdom is better.
