I do not own any of the rights to Vinland Saga.
Einar is such an interesting character. He looks like a warrior. He's big, obviously strong, and he's not a coward. But he's just not a fighter. He's too nice to be someone who kills people, and he isn't conflicted about it.
11:21 "He probably killed 200" -- he probably killed far more than that. He did very little but killing for eleven years.
I dont think einar is talking about god. He is from Northumbria which is very rural in this time. Instead I think he means it literally. His father, mother, and sister died so that Einar himself could live. At the end of Episode 1 he repeats it to himself over and over again. That as long as you are alive, you haven't lost.
Well, he is in the sense that god can be seen as the core meaning of your life, though of course that is not exactly how a Chistian would put it :D
You’re probably right about him not talking about God here, however it should also be considered that in the medieval period it would’ve been seen as God’s will anyway, the same goes for diseases and judiciary trials in which surviving would be seen as God’s own will.
While it's true that we don't know for sure that Thorfinn was never at Einars village, I choose to believe that is the case, seeing as Askeladd and his crew were pirates who mostly raided the coast and down rivers and Einars family lived on a large farm in what looks to be mainland north england. And I believe Thorfinn may have already been enslaved at the time of the second attack when Einar lost his mother and sister
If you enjoy the whole farming and character development paired together you should give „Silver Spoon“ a try. It´s about agriculture students living on a farm and learning everything they need for this job while growing stuff and ofc also developing friendships.
3:30 REAL ME TOO :sobbing:
You have an interesting take on theological concepts. Im actually very interested on aborbing them and your logical framework.
The bible talks about an outer darkness and fire. It does not give us a picture of hell. Its kind of funny we have this picture of hell where people are tortured for eternity but that isn't even true and is just an idea we get from some medieval monks, art and the book dantes inferno.
8:55 that hedgehog carrying the young: you see a mother carrying for their children and help them growing up. At the same time you have Einars voice speaking over this scene and he teaches Thorfin how to act normal and say thank you. Theresia a parallel here and VinlandSaga season 2 does this a lot! It’s worth keeping your eyes open for these little nuggets.
At the end of this episode you then got the callback to this scene as Thorfin says thank you for the first time (like he just learned) to Einar
first time Einar village got raid is from English side so it surely not Askellad gang
and second time that Einar village got raid, Thorfin may be slave already by punish trying to kill Canute or he on south of england
Yeah, it is definitely not him, though the idea is really sad :(
23:23 I would recommend the Book Heaven and Hell by Bible Scholar Barth Ehrman to you.
Generally it is really helpful to know a little bit about the bible and how it got edited and written. And it is especially interesting to realize that quite a lot of Christian Believe is more akin to Christian Fanfiction and not something Jesus did talk about in the Gospels. The whole business of Heaven and Hell is an interesting example of it and ironically painted more by greek and roman pagan believes of the afterlife, than the Jewish Views that Jesus himself would have got
EXPLANATION OF DREAMING MECHANISM. The main purpose of dreaming is the levelling of the psychological load accumulated during the day. All of us have noticed that the problems we were worried about in the evening do not seem so terrible in the morning. That's why there are folk proverbs that you should not make important decisions in the evening. Almost always the intensity and character of dreams depends on the emotions and feelings we have experienced during the day. The brain as if runs all these memories in the form of dreams and deprives them of their emotional component, so when we remember something, it causes little or no emotion. In the case of PTSD, however, the brain still tries to heal the mental mutilation by banishing the experienced emotions, but these emotions are so strong and painful that people with this disorder cannot even sleep, due to that the healing process cannot be complete and thus it is condemned to an eternal cycle of excruciating mental pain every night. The natural mechanism created to cure brings even more mental mutilation, which is why PTSD is so difficult to cure.
We don’t know when exactly did Einar’s village got destroyed, but I also believe the show (and the manga) made clear (in the first episode) that Einar’s village was sacked long ago by the English (he lived in Northern England, which was mostly Danish ancestry as the Danes had settled in Northumbria, and expanded further south into the Danelaw of Mercia and East Anglia, for a long time by then). And never again until the second attack by the Danes.
The next time that his village was invaded by the Danes, he was already all grown up. My guess would be that it happened around the time when King Sweyn had just died and Canute assumed the role of the commander of the Danish army. Close to the end of the England Campaign, Askeladd’s band was fighting Throkell at Lunden in Mercia (Middle England), before capturing prince Canute and fled west to Wales. He then came back to Northern Mercia (still in Middle England, and not the part that belonged to the English Danelaw) and sacked a village there. That was the last time that his band went plunder a village as not long after, the troop was disbanded. Askeladd and Thorkell then joined force with Canute and marched northeast towards Jorvik to assemble with the main Danish force.
Even if Einar’s village got plundered before the death of King Sweyn, it can’t have been by Askeladd’s band. The timeframe doesn’t click for it to be possible.
Yeah, i also do not think it was Thorfinn. Would actually make the story a bt too "contrived" as well. :)
s1 vinland saga was thorfinn the boy. s2 we meet thorfinn the man.
26:00 I wouldn’t say belief in God is evolutionarily beneficial, rather, it is the basis of what it means to be human. Aristotle in the end confessed that there was a God. And if man can, in his own reasoning (by even its most brilliant minds), recognize the divine, then there has to be something it. It can’t be and shouldn’t be some tangent added to a theory formed 200 years ago.
Why would it be the tangent? It is just a mechanism and has not existed for a lot longer than 200 years. Belief is ancient and from all we know at least from anytime when consciousness was still like A dream :)
I think the first episode of the season, which wasn't part of the manga, was to built up Einar as a small foil to Thorfinn. He lost important family like Thorfinn did and he built up a huge amount of rage and hate because of it. But other than Thorfinn, Einar emphatises with Thorfinn and can let go of his rage. Something Thorfinn couldn't do until it was too late.
The commandments aren't really numbered and depending on your religion, it'll be numbered differently. So, I'll add that I grew up in Catholic school and what I say is based off that.
The "first" commandment is basically "Hi I'm God, the one and only, other ones are fake, don't worship them and especially don't go around worshipping things that aren't me" It's a bit complicated but yeah it does warn against ideology. However, we know that kinda gets waived off as "it's not bad if we do it".
As for hell, from what I remember, hell is just an absence of God, forever. Anytime fire and stuff is mentioned it's being used metaphorically (this place down the road sucks and that's what hell would be like). So, they're not physical places just a state of being. Which is why death is scary and religions come about. It's scary and hard to imagine eternal nothingness so it's better if we just believe that mayyybeee we feel something when we are dead. So, Thorfinn could be experiencing hell on earth but being alive gives him the chance to not be.
I'm agnostic after graduating from high school, I realized spending 15 years of my childhood in the jesus fan club made me not want to be Catholic (or any Abrahamic religion) becasue I found it all hypocritical, as you said. But because there is not a 100% sure known answer, I'll just stay hoping for something happening when I die lol

You’re thinking of idolatry, the first of the Ten Commandments is: you shall have no other gods before me.
Basically that you should not worship anything that isn’t God as if it were God.
What's interesting to me about this has always been the wording. It's not 'thou shalt not have any other gods' it's "any other gods *before me*" - to me this seems to almost imply you can think Odin is cool and even look to him as long as you don't regard him as the highest.
dude i LOVE your reactions but can you PLEASE STOP PAUSING and commentate AFTER you've finished the episode
sometimes the questions you have will literally be answered later in the episode and asking them earlier on is just redundant in my opinion
I disagree, I mean we’re watching reactions because we’ve seen the series before. I personally love to hear what people are thinking while watching.
It’s a way better solution than what some do where they try to get their thoughts out while the episode is still playing and missing key moments. ESPECIALLY in a series like Vinland, which is heavily dialogue reliant.
I personally view it no differently than stopping after reading a sentence in a book to jot some notes down.
That’s just me though.
