The show could have ended with this episode, and I would have been satisfied. After the way that Ivar ran away in the presence of Bjorn, well... Ivar's fate no longer mattered. GAME OVER!!! 🐺
Bjorn Ironside's grave is well known and easy to visit... it is a tree covered barrow in a wood near Ekerö kommun in Sweden, there is a good rune stone their too..
Not on purpose; their paths crossed again because they were always fated to be together. Just for a different reason than what they both think at this point. Hvitserk’s nightmares got worse the longer he was separated from Ivar and stopped immediately after being reunited with him. Yes, he was off the drugs for a while when they met again you might argue. But if it were the drugs, then the nightmares should’ve returned when Oleg gave him Opium. They never did though.
to be fair hvisterk didn't leave bjorn, bjorn banished him and i think hvisterk is basiscally saying all that because he knows bjorn spared his life even though it looked so cruel the way he banished him.
Hail from Denmark🇩🇰. Bjørn Ironside is legend! In our culture the Valkyrie are feared and respected. They are both witch and warrior, sanctioned by Odin himself to pass judgement!
They brought the kids there to show that *everyone* joined in, not just the warriors. It speaks to Bjorn being a King for *all* Norway. Because if they lost that fight, they would have no home to go back to, so, might as well.
Yeah,that part got me more because its literally a "last chance" scenario where even the kids wouldnt live under the russian rule and give their life for their home.
I only wish we’d started the channel earlier so we could have reacted to the earlier seasons! Thanks for the sub and hope you like what’s yet to come from us! 🙂 - The Dragon
Hvitserk didnt left Bjorn ?? Hvitserk was lost in his mind, and was seeking for a purpose for a very long time, yes he made a mistake by killing Lagertha (even if he def didnt wanted to) and Bjorn never helped him out (Bjorn had other shits to deal with we can assume), so i think it was legitimate for him to pay Bjorn some respect, since the beginning he is worshiping him, saying it's not that easy to kill him, and the moment he said Ragnar speech for him made me even more emotional ! Even tho he was on the opposite side, Hvitserk just followed his path, and ended up here, he dont hate Bjorn, nor Ubbe, nor Ivar, they are his brothers, as i said, it's his character, he's just lost :) Nice reaction btw, i'm going to look out for the other episodes of this great season !
See my response to the other similar comment about this 🙂 me saying he left Bjorn was more my anger that he joined Ivar and is attacking Kattegat and all the people there including people that helped him out. When Ivar is the one who caused him the most pain and hardship. I do hope he achieves some greatness before the end of the season, I don’t want him to be lost forever. Glad you liked our reaction and hope you like the ones for the rest of the season! If you hit the bell button it’ll notify you when our other ones are up 🙂 - The Dragon
@@aymanm.8462 I mean I do agree with other people's comments that its a little hypocritical considering Bjorn's mother killed Hvitserk, Ubbe and Ivar's mother. And that was in cold blood! And he expected them to move past it. But I still disagree with Hvitserk going back to Ivar and helping him attack Kattegat - The Dragon
@@TheDragonTheHound i agree with you as well. hvitserk should have understood that he made a big mistake. he could've started over again somewhere else like ivar did. he choose to go to ivar and he choose to attack kattegat. that's all him.
Hvitserk didnt left Bjorn,Bjorn banish him from kattegat because he did what he did,but on the other side,when Lagertha kill Asluag and her sons wanted revenge he was the one who told them that is pointless and then he cant take the same way on Hvitserk who didnt really want to kill her.
I know Bjorn banished him, and yes I agree it’s kind of unfair considering Lagertha killed Aslaug, but what I meant by him leaving him is the fact that he went and joined Ivar, who was the person who burned the woman he loved and her family and the cause of him being so mentally disturbed for all that time, leading to him killing Lagertha by accident. So what I don’t forgive him for is the fact that he went and joined Ivar after everything he did and joined him in attacking Kattegat and all the people there, many of which had helped him at his darkest time. - The Dragon
@@TheDragonTheHound Yeah I think that even Hvitserk dont know why he always end up with Ivar,but i think is more understandable at the final episodes.
@@tutotamto that’s good to hear that it makes more sense towards the end. Like we were discussing after the reaction, I feel like Hvitserk is the only one who hasn’t really achieved any glory or a purpose and I hope that he does before the series finishes - The Dragon
@@TheDragonTheHound That's the whole point of the character ! as you said he just looking for a goal to achieve, and he dont have anything atm even tho he's such a great warrior !
@@DyGouka I’m just a bit sick of seeing him lost like... forever! He’s had bad things happen to him but he’s also made some terrible decisions too. I hope he achieved some greatness or peace before the end of the series. He is a great warrior though, can’t fault him for that! - The Dragon
It’s close. Both were absolute badasses, with many great qualities and some flaws... but I love Ragnar’s charisma and attitude, so I think he takes the edge. - The Hound.
Björn copied Ragnar’s strategy from Paris for this one: pretend to be dead, then surprise attack. Hvitserk and Ivar are too young to know or remember that strategy. Ivar never called retreat, it’s Oleg who is in command, Ivar’s still at his mercy in this episode, and so is his brother. Btw, I know many people do judge Ivar for his ”crimes”, because they allowed themselves to be manipulated by the monster label that was slapped on him even before he was born, but - he hasn’t done anything the characters favoured by most viewers haven’t done also: Kill people brutally - Ragnar and Lagertha are just 2 examples of favoured characters who both can be very violent. Kill/burn people opposing their regime: Lagertha had people opposing her rounded up and executed after she killed her husband-to-be Kalf. Judith had everyone executed who opposed Alfred. Björn almost burned his own brother, and he didn’t spare him out of mercy, but because he wanted him to die an even worse death. Kill a spouse: Again, Lagertha killed Kalf. Ragnar killed his Chinese mistress for drugs. And their reasons were ambition and addiction only. Ivar hadn’t only been lied to, cheated upon, manipulated and heartbroken, but what Freydis did was basically commit treason against her king. Any other king or queen in that position would’ve declared treason punishable by death also. I’m not saying I endorse any of the violence, but characters shouldn’t be labelled as good or evil based on their actions alone, their motives and reasons must be considered as well. Lagertha’s a woman driven by ambition and hunger for power, Björn’s driven by his need to compete with his youngest brother, Ivar’s driven by pain and the need to be equal and gain other people’s respect. If you make the effort to look deeper before judging each character, you’ll find that none of them is evil, including Ivar. I’m glad that, in the final season, Hirst decided to show people who misunderstood and misjudged Ivar’s character the loving, caring, smart person he’s had to bury deep inside behind his seemingly ruthless facade for most of his life. Everyone’s story arcs were so well written, I enjoyed this show immensely. Btw, did you only do reactions for 6B on YT, or am I just too stupid to find the earlier seasons?

Ivar didn’t run. Oleg’s officers did.

The last season was fantastic. You're going to really enjoy it. It's not a letdown like GOT
Yeah, we’re about 1/2 way through and really enjoying it. After 6 seasons of epic adventure, I, glad they ended it well!

Well Bjorn did cast Hvitserk out, he just didn’t know where to go except back to ivar lol
Not on purpose; their paths crossed again because they were always fated to be together. Just for a different reason than what they both think at this point.

Hail from Denmark🇩🇰.
Bjørn Ironside is legend!
In our culture the Valkyrie are feared and respected. They are both witch and warrior, sanctioned by Odin himself to pass judgement!
There are worse sights to see, at the end of your days, than a stern warrior goddess, there to pass judgement!
- The Hound.
@@TheDragonTheHound
Aye, true👍.
Notice that the other Viking deaths were sent in firey ships.
Beorn was the first cairn tomb shown.
Yup, because the other Vikings were great warriors, who received Warrior’s deaths.
Björn Ironside was a LEGEND, and was sent off as such.
- The Hound.
Not entirely true, Sigurd was not put in a ship, but a tomb.
@@-breakofdawn- thats because they were landlocked
They brought the kids there to show that *everyone* joined in, not just the warriors. It speaks to Bjorn being a King for *all* Norway. Because if they lost that fight, they would have no home to go back to, so, might as well.
Yeah,that part got me more because its literally a "last chance" scenario where even the kids wouldnt live under the russian rule and give their life for their home.

Watch VCreation's Bjorn Ironside Greatness. It only has spoiler upto 6x11. It's an awesome tribute to the character. You will love it.
Ok. Bjorn or Ragnar? I'm Bjorn
