How are there people out there defending Ketil... It's absurd. And you can't compare him to Thorfinn who killed out of duty. He took no pleasure in it, it was just what he had to do to survive while he was with Askeladd. Ketil actively could choose how to treat Arnheid and decided to do that. Intention and choice matters a lot when it comes to judging the nobility of a character.
I didn't write all the stuff just to virtue signal. I make offensive jokes that get deleted, I really don't care about virtue signaling. Just talking about opinions on a show.
Oof seeing so many Ketil defenders/apologists is disturbing馃ぎ lol And I have to say how laughable the whole "What about Thorfinn? Did you think about that?" comparison is 馃槀馃ぃ As if the two are at all comparable....
ok !
I like Thorgil because I'm never crying when he's on screen.
Just to challenge your views a bit on Ketil, yes its extremely horrible and unthinkable what he has done, but also think how the the very person we all love Thorfinn has killed (literally ended the lives) of hundreds if not thousands of people. So is beating a slave worse than killing people in that sense, and up to this point Ketil has been seen to be quite possibly one of the "better" slave owners, even letting Einar and Thorfinn become free again (not like its good at all, but there are definitely worse out there). Even Canute is ordering to kill people, the cycle is persistant and i just think its unfair to wish upon Ketil's death because of those actions when you wouldnt do the same to Thorfinn who has argueably done much worse. not defending him at all just pointing out what i feel would be a reasonable opposing side if you took the time to read this. love the reactions!
The reason Ketil does evil to other's has been almost exclusively because of the way he would look. He is the most fragile character in the show. We justify the wrongs of Canute and Thorfin because they are seen as a means to an end. Ketil lies to his entire community that he is a famous warrior for respect and influence and beats a pregnant women half dead because he feels disgraced. He's shown to be a pretty selfish person and the only reason he's really 'nice' to his slaves is because he is following the example of his father. Without the Old Master's kindness who knows how much of a scumbag he would be.
A slave on the verge of death, exhausted from living and staying alive, terrified of his/her master. I love these parallels. And to briefly defend Thorgil: He's quite a bit further away and a battle is damn loud (the screams and yells, the bangs when swords collide). He very certainly did not hear him.
i completely missed the stag = einar and wolf = thorfinn connection until lola pointed it out. that detail wasnt in the manga from what i recall but i love those kind of additions
I love Arnheid seeing Einar as the deer{stag} and Thorfinn as the wolf for her to stay alive great visuals.
Rubbing my eyes in disbelief, or maybe just because too much sun
What on earth! Have a wonderful weekend everyjuan x
Rare moment but a welcome one! Watching this after work lol
To me Thorfinn's redemption arc is also special because in real life I don't think many people get a chance to turn their lives around. Like even if they deserve it. At least in my country the legal system doesn't focus of rehabilitation, reformation and reintegration of a person in society. In real life, victims appeal the release of convicts, judges hesitate to grant parole. Its very complicated. I think that's the reason why desire to atone and repent within thorfinn is so strong. Like Reiner wanted to be judged, one can't help but think is thorfinn also thinking something similar?
46:49 "if I can't have Einar, let her die" 馃拃馃拃 I can't with milena
Crazy to see Thorfinn walk away from the fight like that
Oh my god, now I just have to wait like 7 hours till I get off from work to watch this lmao
not you posting early when i'm literally about to leave for my shift 馃拃 this is cruel
This was a funky episode
