Every son of Ragnar got what he wanted: - Bjorn: Died like a king, saving his people and being more famous than his father - Ubbe: Became a great explorer, found his golden land - Hvitserk: Probably found peace and gained clarity on his path - Ivar: Played a huge geopolitical role in history (dethroning kings and being king himself) and also in his final moments he revealed that all he ever wanted was for his brothers to love him and care for him. Not out of pity but because they truly loved him. The moment he says "I am afraid" and Hvitserk reassures him that he "won't tell anyone" mirrors the loving relationship between a little brother who is afraid and a big brother who is there for him. - Sigurd: Fck him, he was adopted
Hvitserk became a god after having sex with a godess and eating her apples, which granted him eternal life, like they did to all gods before. Hvitserk is also Othere, who traveled back in time to help Ubbe on his journey to the Golden Land, because when he was young he chose to travel with Ivar. If you dont believe me, Othere said his name was also Athelstan, like Hvitserks after he was baptized. Othere also said he learned fighting when he grew up as a Viking and he was also burned on his belly and legs, like Hvitserk when he was burned and almost executed by Björn.
@@DIIO9999 all the time I was waiting for the reveal that othere?

For the people asking why Ivar let some scrub stab him. Ivar was ready to die. His bone disease would basically paralyze him. The more blue his eyes were, the closer it was to happening. Ivar wanted to die on the battlefield and not be bedridden the rest of his life. He wanted to join his father in Valhol 🖤
Nice picture. Ivar was just a scared ,spoiled mommas boy. He threw tantrums to try to intimidate, because he knew nothing about dealing with others. He would not even understand what Ragnar tried to teach him, as he took him alone to England to learn how to use your brain when diplomacy was needed and brutality when that was needed. Ragnar knew both very well. Viking, King, and most importantly learned from Athelstan how the English thought and acted. He was always hungry for knowledge like Odin was. His mind held wisdom and his hand held might and cunning brutality. A Viking. A real Viking. Ivar just could not understand. He wanted to die, yes, you are right I think. But he was afraid of death, so the chance of him going to Odin`s halls in Valhalla was zero. Helheim is where he went, and he will see Hel`s rotting face for eternity or Ragnarok. The actor playing Ivar did a great job, he was brilliant. You surprise me, by your comment you have to know this. Anyway, take care!
@@gib59er56 Ivar acted out in rage because of his brutal upbringing. Constantly being looked down upon and bullied because of his disability. Ivar paid attention to Ragnar, “Use your rage intelligently” and Ivar did many times. Every time Ragnar spoke Ivar was listening. That’s why Ivar wanted to go with Ragnar to England; to learn as much as he can from a legend. “Of all my sons, you are the most important for the future of our people…” That part probably got to his head a little too much lol. Ivar was an excellent tactician and a brutal warrior handicapped by his disability but not his mind. Ivar was a legendary Viking both in the show and in history.
@@TCS266 The fact that Ragnar took Ivar to England alone speaks volumes! You are right, and everything you said is pretty much right on! But I don`t think he was bullied.

His death was a callback to who he really was. He was human and he noticed that until too late. He was afraid of being forgotten for sure and also his death himself
@@xxwhispersxx2856 hey edgelord, see all of the stories written about him and his family, however semi-fictional they may be? idk about you, but does that seem like theyve been forgotten? try harder next time
@@kalebr5069 It doesn't matter if he's forgotten or not because Ivar being afraid to be forgotten is just something they made up for the tv show. They have no clue what the real Ivar was like, all they know is his name and barely anything more
Some may say it’s anticlimactic but I think him crying and saying he’s afraid is a perfect death for Ivar. Before he was angry, arrogant and thought he was a god who couldn’t be killed, now a terrified, vulnerable, honest man in his last moments. And what a performance... wow.
Such a rushed and boring death, same with Harold. Can’t believe how bad the second half of season 6 was. I actually enjoyed everything before that then it just got stupid
Ivar's ending proved his humanity. He wasn't a god. He wasn't fearless. He was just a little kid that's more broken on the inside than on the outside. The most human thing you can ever be is be afraid when you're about to die.
Ivar's end was absolutely fantastic. He chose his fate just like his father. His illness was getting worse, and he knew that his illness was going to be the end of him, so instead of dying in a bed like some old drooling man, he chose to die in a battle, like a true Viking. I mean, after he was stabbed, his arms gave out so he couldn't support himself any longer and his legs literally snapped in half. It was such a poetic death. He claimed to be a god and no hero could kill him. Then a scared foot soldier got right up to him. And Ivar accepted it. And Ivar wasn’t afraid of death, he was afraid of being forgotten. Of the gods forgetting who he was. That’s why his bother was telling him he would be remembered forever, because he knew that’s what he was afraid of. And in the end he got everything he wanted in his life: reputation, child and love (from his brother, Igor and perhaps even Katia)
He was afraid because he realized hes no god and that maybe there isn't even Valhalla. He was simply afraid of death, to show the viewers his human side for one last time after him being a monster for most of the show.
the only thing that the fans probably didn't like was Ivar getting killed by this young soldier who was afraid by the stories/lies other soldiers would say to joke with him. But I agree Alex Hogh choose this way for Ivar to rest in peace because he said he didn't wwant a dramatic and epic death like Ragnar's or Bjorn's he wanted an ordinary death on the battlefield to show that Ivar was a human and not a god and he was absolutely right although his death wasn't like Bjorn's it's memorable.
Ivar was just a men not a god like he was made out to be , and that's what makes his death more beautiful, as much as wed like to think he was god like and nothing could break him ,seeing him go like a normal human was amazing imo
@@ooo00978 he wanted to die, his death scene was perfect, just look at his eyes, it looked like he woke up from a nightmare understanding how crazy and wrong everything he did was
@@ikrammabrouk2642 Nothing what he did was crazy or wrong. Humans are just tools. Nothing more. To creat a new world you have to sacrafice humans. This is the world. Without suffer there is no future. Suffer is live and suffer is future.
The imense fear that people had towards him is mindblowing, the Guy didn't Dare stab him until Ivar gave him permission! He did what his father told him
I was liking him until he decided to attack England. Not only did his surrender probably caused the deaths of all the rest of the army, but it might have ruined the lands that Ubbe fought so hard to stabilish there (hope Hvitserk doesn't let it). I know that Ivar represents Ragnar's ruthless and strategic mind, but still, I'm not sure if I liked the way he died.
It's a visual of how his whole life was.....a puppet master. He couldn't even walk for most of his life, so he had to have everyone do everything for him. And that is a power that he didn't give up even when he could walk.
The respect shown by the enemy shows Ivar was someone who was feared, but most of all respected. Yes, he was a menace, but he was a master of the battlefield. He didn't have the ability to lead others as his brother Bjorn, but he lived up to what his father told him to be. Ruthless and cunning.
Ivar's acting was world class in the Viking season ... His character went through so much transitions , the most colorful character of the entire season.
By far my favorite character in Vikings. Him dying in the arms of his brother and confessing to being afraid in his dying breath just after he had given a badass speech was beautiful. Everything that Ivar is was incapsulated in these last minutes of his life. Ivar did horrible things in his life, but many people relate to the alienation he felt and it was inspiring to see a cripple and a reject overcoming the odds to become the most feared Viking of all time. I'm glad he didn't die alone, he wanted to be loved deep down and he had his brother's love in the moment of his death. Thank you to Alex Hogh Andersen for bringing this charismatic and amazing character to life.
Notice that when Ivar lies on the ground he looks at his legs and then instantly starts crying and telling he is afraid. He was not afraid of death , he was afraid of his fate after death bcs all of his life he was cripple who always wanted be a great warrior like others. Before death he just realized that he is a cripple and he thinked that vallhalla is not place for him but then Hvitserk comforted him the words No One Will Ever Forget Of Ivar The Boneless. By this words Ivar understood he is a true Viking who made many great things and he can die without any doubts
Chose his death and eased the fear of the man who killed him. Never feared death, only oblivion. Always in his own eyes defined by his weakness. Great character and amazingly acted by Alex.
As much as i like Vikings i didn't really enjoyed season 6. With the exception of a few episodes. Russian storyline was boring and felt not neccessary. The end was also not great. Ivar's death really poor killed by who?? Hvitserk Baptized? That bitch and the other girl we don't care about rules over Kattegat? Only Ubbe has a decent ending though. I liked to see Floki again, but in overall this is my least favorite season. If I gonna rewatch I think I will stop at the end of season 5.
@Dannilo Lima lol vikings ending sucked too...they gave ivar a peaceful death...they killed bjorn... If vikings ending was better...hopebit comes on Top with more than 32 Emmy nominations and 12 wins
I cried too....the most emotional scene in the whole series....Ivar only wanted to be LOVED....and his fear about his Death, was heartbreaking....I loved Ivar.....
So when Ivar died, Floki sensed it and we hear crows. Remember when Ragnar died? Odin came to his sons and he was accompanied by crows. In fact, the first thing Bjorn hears are the crows. I believe this is what happened with Floki as well. Odin came and told him about Ivar's death.
I loved Ivar's character development, how he came from being a being incapble of feeling empathy, hating almost all that stood in his way, to actually expressing love, fraternity, sadness and loyalty. I loved that in the end Hvitserk and him always stuck together.
imagine being a Anglo-Saxon soldier that was told by your King to stop fighting in respect for a pagan norseman that did many raids in England, but orders are orders
The actor who plays Ivar, Alex Høgh Andersen, have said many times in interviews that the key aspect that you need to understand about his Ivar is that he is "so used to pain, that he wouldn’t even show it ". Also, as Ragnar said, people will always underestimate him because of his disability, so he has to play cool to be taken seriously. Knowing this really changes one's perception of this scene imo: his words about being afraid is no longer cowardly, it's probably the first and the last moment in his life when he can really put his guard down. And it happens to be Hvitserk of all people who shares this moment with him, after years of love/hate relationship they reconcile with each other in a very beautiful way - one tells the secret and the other one promises to keep it.
Waited so long through the series for Ivar's death.... Then, it happened, and suddenly I wasn't ready after all. Such a well written show. I miss not having new episodes
This scene was perfectly executed. Just as Ivar shouted, he died as a warrior and would be reunited with his loved ones in Valhalla. His legacy would be his family, whom he dedicated his life to earning the love and respect of just like his father Ragnar before him. We also see Floki, who helped Ivar participate in his first battle, reacting to his final battle when he hears the birds take flight. This could symbolize Odin's ravens bringing news of Ivar's death to Valhalla because Floki is extremely spiritual and was instrumental in mentoring young Ivar about the Norse Pantheon. Finally, Hvitserk's last words to his younger brother come to fruition as now everyone knows of Ivar The Boneless thanks to the preservation of and continued devotion to Norse Mythology and it's Legends. That's one of the awesome things about this show, it's supposed to be educational.
@@am1rk1ng63 It's not that Ragnar stopped believing, but his faith was shaken when he saw a vision of the gates of Valhalla closing on him. Even the most devoted of zealots took will lose faith when they find out they're not going to Heaven. So Ragnar took control of his own destiny. He plotted his own death and in a sense became his own God. Even so, that doesn't mean Valhalla doesn't exist in the minds of his sons. That's why Floki was there, lol. And Floki was more of a father to Ivar anyways. In a sense, Ivar is the most devoted to the Norse Pantheon of all his brothers.
If I could tell you how weirdly this show and Ivar were introduced to me and the energy that surrounded it, we’d be here all day. Lol. I saved the story for my blog though. So at least there’s that.
He could play Alexander the great , Anakin Skywalker or even be in Marvel , Alex Hogh is such an amazing actor, I remember he said he would love to play a Villian in Marvel , i really hope the film industry recognize him after this
A person could only imagine the rage and anger that fills a man who is disabled while surrounded by ruthless warriors, all while also being the son of a king.
This was a fitting death. I honestly didn't like Ivar as a character (actor did amazing regardless), but this scene makes you finally care about him. We all find out that Ivar is afraid, and was afraid all his life.
For Alle People to Understand Ivar was not Afraid to die, he was Afraid to be Forgotten,he was afraid he cant see Valhalla, because he is a cripple/he cant see the Gods. thats why hvitserk Says" No one Will ever Forget Ivar The Boneless". The Seer Told him his Future, that he will Die in the Bed, With sicknes and Pain. Thats why he chose the death on Battlefield. His Eyes goes Bluer and bluer because his all Bones break. In the End he cant hold his hands anymore then the Young Guy Stabbed him. He and Harald were afraid the Viking Era Would End, they know they cant win against the english army . i Think the Young Guy Who killed ivar was a metapher for a new era. Ubbe Found Floki in America. Hvisterk Become a King of Christian Land.Ivar has been the most Famous VIkings Who ever lives in the History.
No that's not true... That's just some weird fan boy theory - just listen to the dialogues and you should be able to understand... unless you're a weird fan boy.
One thing I like most about Ivar is that we weren't positioned to feel pity for him. It's like when Hvitserk said to him about how he shouldn't try to make them feel sorry for him, they never will. We weren't ever positioned to look down on Ivar, we were in awe of his exploits and, even when he went a bit mad and a bit evil, it was hard to pick a side to be on because both Ivar and Bjorn's sides were worthy of rooting for, at least in my eyes.
“I am afraid,” Ivar splutters, words no-one thought they would ever hear from Ivar the Boneless. And then there are three more; his final words: “I love you.” Ivar has thus broken the cycle. He has sacrificed himself not for hate, as his father once did, but for love. He was finally able to know and to feel human love; and crucially to demonstrate it instead of demanding it, even if it was right at the end of his life, and only for a few moments. Already Ivar had begun to demonstrate humility. On the eve of the battle he told Hvitserk: “Hundreds of years from now, someone will be proud to find my blood is in their body and my spirit is in their soul.” Maybe part of him realized that in becoming a father he’d finally achieved the immortality after which he’d always hungered, and it was enough. Hail Ívarr hinn Beinlausi
You right, im glad it ended like that, they showed us that he was not a monster He was the smartest warrior and at the end he was a great man that cared about people his journey was already over he had no reason to continue fighting he died like a hero.
Y’all need to rewatch from the start of Ivars birth. Dude was left for dead. Got picked on for being a cripple amongst the most nomadic people of that time. Didn’t have a father to guide him. One of the only characters after Ragnar who is completely himself. Went down a evil hill and got reborn in season 6. Literally died in battle for his brother whom he didn’t respect forever. The battle is about chess. That’s why he “the king” went out and died to save his people. This person who was known as harsh and cruel in the end turns out to be still an afraid kid at heart in the end and admits it. Honestly great character and writing. Y’all just don’t pay attention
Dang, in the end Ivar finally showed fear!! What a great character way to carry the show... I never thought he would be scared to die, guess it caught him off guard too.
Now THAT is how to write an ending. We watched this in awe and silence. Vikings ... one of the few shows which survived the death of a beloved lead character, getting better and better. Ragnar was the light, never really desiring to be king. And Ivar, the darkness, desiring so much more. Each one has something from the other. They are like yin yang, their lifes encompassing the show like a parenthesis. Btw: Alfred stopped the fighting because he knew in this moment that the battle was over. And when the others heard him and saw Ivar, they knew it too.
It’s also nice to see that Alfred didn’t fight to kill any humans but because ist was necessary and as soon as Ivar was killed he wanted to spare every other warrior on both sides
I hated Ivar. But when I saw him crying like a baby in this scene, I remembered that we are all little children. We just pretend to be grownups. And there’re some moments in life we can’t pretend anymore. Moments like this.
@Jamal Bashir ok I tell you some facts... this show is not historical correct because of that its useless to talk about wrong or write why ivar said this or sth else.. most important: you are the true stupid guy
I think people are taking Ivar's " I'm afraid" line in the wrong way. I took it as Ivar was afraid that he did not achieve enough, that he would just die and his name would be forgotten. That's why Hvitserk told him that "I'll make sure that no one ever forgets Ivar the boneless" because he knew what his brother was afraid of
So why did Hvitserk tell him "I won't tell anyone". On the contrary, I think Ivar was really scared of death instantly, which makes his character even more endearing (he who was often ruthless and terrifying throughout the show).
@@stanpotillon4169 Yea you might be right, I can see that being the case aswell. When I seen the scene the first thing that came into my mind was that he was afraid of being forgotten. But now that I've watched it a couple times now, it's was defintely meant to be open to interpretation.
When he says to soldier "Don't be afraid... And met his death, it was symbol of beating death, That happened too with between Ragnar and King Ecbert, Ragnar told same line to Ecbert and accept to his death by King Eel. Ivar had to fear of being forgotten not death That's all
I've never felt scared that much watching a show when ivar says he's afraid, he gives so much emotion in few seconds... Ivar was observing other people death with fascination since the beginning, king Aelle, Sigurd and many others. But when it was his turn to die, even know he was not afraid to fight and die during battle, his last seconds were human as fuck, like you may be a badass all your life but that sensation when you see the death coming and taking you, that human part that fear death wakes up inside you and takes control. Man I felt him like I was dying too, I didn't like him at all but this one scene proved me what an absolute genius actor he is. Insane!!!
He wasn't afraid of death.He was afraid of being forgotten.Simple as that.Everyone is afraid not beceause of death but beceause they know that they will lose something very important when they die
@@shinobihanzo4200 I understand your point of view, but I don't think that he was afraid to be forgotten at this precise moment. But if he was, then why Hvitserk told him that he won't tell anybody?
@@Anudorini-Talah I'm French I tried to give my point of view in English, it's not that easy when it's not your native language. But I'm ready to read yours you seems to have the right thinking...
How can people hate on Ivar and say he is a coward? Do y'all even remember the fight against the English men? The "I AM IVAR THE BONELESS" scene when he spread so much fear to his enemies while he was laying down and it made them all freeze?
and holding his arms open, as arrows fell from the sky towards him. He's almost a joint first with Ragnar... If not, second, as my favourite character. Alex Høgh Anderson, is an AMAZING actor.
I don’t want to believe that people in the comment section are actually this dumb… have you even watched the show or trailers only? This death was poetic and of symbolic significance. He died like this on purpose, to preserve his name and not die in bed with his bones broken as his condition kept on worsening. What he did allowed him to secure his legacy.. all this dialogue with the saxon soldier was on purpose as well… it was Ivar talking to himself in fact… just note how he was orchestrating the whole battle using other soldies like his dolls… this battlefield was all in his head.. and this saxon warrior wasn’t random.. if you had paid attention in the previous episode you could have spotted that this soldier was the one who was most scared, when looking into the forrest… now this all makes sense with Ivar’s line toward him… Hirst is a genius script writter and a director…
Thank you most people just make dumb assumptions and claims because of fanboying another character or just a casual. But you really Went in depth spoke the truth.
I also love how his final conversation with the seer ties in perfectly with this. I think when the seer said Ivar would do anything to avoid his faith is about him willing to do anything to live without his condition, bc it is the reasom he chose die die in the first place. This is probally why he wanted to believe the seer because Ivar knew that he was going to die like a warrior that day because he knew he could never be healed anyways. I also think he was afraid because he genuienly didn't want to die but he had no other choice
Thanks for explain but what do u mean that fight was in his head? Like sure he was controling fighters like dolls, but that fight was real right? So he was just dreamimg during battle or what do u mean?
Ivar was stabbed 8 times. In Norse mythology the number 8 means, "Something that is unstable or an unlucky number". This is which symbolizes Ivar as a character throughout the show.
Love Ivar or Hate Ivar, but damn the actor portraying him A+. Every scene with him in it I could actually feel his emotion.
Yes i love him the actor played him so good!
Its not an A+ its SSS+

“Don’t be afraid.” I had an instant flashback of Ragnar saying those exact same words to Ecbert.
I had forgotten about that. I still can't believe there are people on imdb giving this episode bad ratings saying it wasn't emotional.
Ialso thought of that the same time Ivar said it I think they did it on purpose they wanted Ivar to have some similarities to Ragnar

His death was a callback to who he really was. He was human and he noticed that until too late. He was afraid of being forgotten for sure and also his death himself
Then why Hvitserk said '' I won't tell anyone''?
I could not stop crying watching this scene. Cried even more when he said he was afraid. Points for Alfred tho. He showed Ivar such respect
Yeah i dont understand why. Should have killed them all
Even after Ivar had just tried to have Alfred's wife asassinated, he still showed compassion.
I cried a lot, more then Ragnar, Lagatha or Bjorn, his death was realistic, that " I'm afraid" push me to another emotional side. Ivar, a truly hero.
Almost 1200 years later, and the world still has not forgotten Ivar the Boneless. Skol

Some may say it’s anticlimactic but I think him crying and saying he’s afraid is a perfect death for Ivar. Before he was angry, arrogant and thought he was a god who couldn’t be killed, now a terrified, vulnerable, honest man in his last moments. And what a performance... wow.
Vikings had perfect acting from season 1(exept for the little children of Ubbe)
Sad when only the face of death can make people become better.
Who the fuck said it was anticlimactic?

Such a rushed and boring death, same with Harold. Can’t believe how bad the second half of season 6 was. I actually enjoyed everything before that then it just got stupid
Ivar's ending proved his humanity. He wasn't a god. He wasn't fearless. He was just a little kid that's more broken on the inside than on the outside. The most human thing you can ever be is be afraid when you're about to die.

“I won’t tell anyone” 🥹
Ivar's end was absolutely fantastic. He chose his fate just like his father. His illness was getting worse, and he knew that his illness was going to be the end of him, so instead of dying in a bed like some old drooling man, he chose to die in a battle, like a true Viking. I mean, after he was stabbed, his arms gave out so he couldn't support himself any longer and his legs literally snapped in half. It was such a poetic death. He claimed to be a god and no hero could kill him. Then a scared foot soldier got right up to him. And Ivar accepted it. And Ivar wasn’t afraid of death, he was afraid of being forgotten. Of the gods forgetting who he was. That’s why his bother was telling him he would be remembered forever, because he knew that’s what he was afraid of. And in the end he got everything he wanted in his life: reputation, child and love (from his brother, Igor and perhaps even Katia)
He was afraid because he realized hes no god and that maybe there isn't even Valhalla. He was simply afraid of death, to show the viewers his human side for one last time after him being a monster for most of the show.
the only thing that the fans probably didn't like was Ivar getting killed by this young soldier who was afraid by the stories/lies other soldiers would say to joke with him. But I agree Alex Hogh choose this way for Ivar to rest in peace because he said he didn't wwant a dramatic and epic death like Ragnar's or Bjorn's he wanted an ordinary death on the battlefield to show that Ivar was a human and not a god and he was absolutely right although his death wasn't like Bjorn's it's memorable.
Historical Ivar apparently died in bed as an old man
Ivar was just a men not a god like he was made out to be , and that's what makes his death more beautiful, as much as wed like to think he was god like and nothing could break him ,seeing him go like a normal human was amazing imo
lets himself get stabbed to death by a nameless saxon, the gods in Valhalla must love that.
Idc about what people say, his character was the most interesting, the way he portrayed human psychopathy at its limits was perfect.

I used to hate Ivar. But this final season he was so likeable. Superb acting. Was sad to see him die
I still can't get over this scene bruh 😢
@Jesus Christ Nah, no of the characters had the charisma and attraction of Ragnar.
I was liking him until he decided to attack England. Not only did his surrender probably caused the deaths of all the rest of the army, but it might have ruined the lands that Ubbe fought so hard to stabilish there (hope Hvitserk doesn't let it). I know that Ivar represents Ragnar's ruthless and strategic mind, but still, I'm not sure if I liked the way he died.
He changed
@@Emy-fv5ny he said after Ragnar death
Ivar was scared of being forgotten. Crazy how people don't understand this.
It gives me chills the way he attacks in sync with the other warriors, like hes magically pulling puppet strings
It's a visual of how his whole life was.....a puppet master. He couldn't even walk for most of his life, so he had to have everyone do everything for him. And that is a power that he didn't give up even when he could walk.
I saw it as, Ivar was so calculated in battle, that he knew everyones next move.
"Are we afraid of death? NO!"

The respect shown by the enemy shows Ivar was someone who was feared, but most of all respected. Yes, he was a menace, but he was a master of the battlefield. He didn't have the ability to lead others as his brother Bjorn, but he lived up to what his father told him to be. Ruthless and cunning.
"I'am afraid!"
" I won't tell anyone!" ♥️
Ivar's acting was world class in the Viking season ... His character went through so much transitions , the most colorful character of the entire season.

By far my favorite character in Vikings. Him dying in the arms of his brother and confessing to being afraid in his dying breath just after he had given a badass speech was beautiful. Everything that Ivar is was incapsulated in these last minutes of his life. Ivar did horrible things in his life, but many people relate to the alienation he felt and it was inspiring to see a cripple and a reject overcoming the odds to become the most feared Viking of all time. I'm glad he didn't die alone, he wanted to be loved deep down and he had his brother's love in the moment of his death. Thank you to Alex Hogh Andersen for bringing this charismatic and amazing character to life.
Preach!!!
Yes to all of this^^
When you realize he said “don’t be afraid” to reassure himself and not his killer
Ragnar: “Be Ruthless”
Ivar: kills some of his own brothers
Ragnar: I ain’t say be ruthless to themmmm, damm
Ivar sobbing: "I'm afraid"
Hvitserk: "I won't tell anyone"
The feels
Notice that when Ivar lies on the ground he looks at his legs and then instantly starts crying and telling he is afraid. He was not afraid of death , he was afraid of his fate after death bcs all of his life he was cripple who always wanted be a great warrior like others. Before death he just realized that he is a cripple and he thinked that vallhalla is not place for him but then Hvitserk comforted him the words No One Will Ever Forget Of Ivar The Boneless. By this words Ivar understood he is a true Viking who made many great things and he can die without any doubts
Chose his death and eased the fear of the man who killed him. Never feared death, only oblivion. Always in his own eyes defined by his weakness. Great character and amazingly acted by Alex.

As much as i like Vikings i didn't really enjoyed season 6. With the exception of a few episodes. Russian storyline was boring and felt not neccessary. The end was also not great. Ivar's death really poor killed by who?? Hvitserk Baptized? That bitch and the other girl we don't care about rules over Kattegat? Only Ubbe has a decent ending though. I liked to see Floki again, but in overall this is my least favorite season. If I gonna rewatch I think I will stop at the end of season 5.
@Dannilo Lima lol vikings ending sucked too...they gave ivar a peaceful death...they killed bjorn...
If vikings ending was better...hopebit comes on Top with more than 32 Emmy nominations and 12 wins
Nope think it might have been just as bad

@Dannilo Lima I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that because boy! Did I.
I cried too....the most emotional scene in the whole series....Ivar only wanted to be LOVED....and his fear about his Death, was heartbreaking....I loved Ivar.....
Ivar wasn't afraid of death, it was being forgotten that he was afraid of.
Can we all take a second and notice the masterpiece playing in the background by Einar Selvik
So when Ivar died, Floki sensed it and we hear crows. Remember when Ragnar died? Odin came to his sons and he was accompanied by crows. In fact, the first thing Bjorn hears are the crows. I believe this is what happened with Floki as well. Odin came and told him about Ivar's death.
they were close to each other as well.
Floki was kind of a seer, I think it is showed in season 4
I loved Ivar's character development, how he came from being a being incapble of feeling empathy, hating almost all that stood in his way, to actually expressing love, fraternity, sadness and loyalty. I loved that in the end Hvitserk and him always stuck together.
Ivar was bat shit crazy on the show... and damn the actor how played him should have won endless awards! He did a helluva job playing the character.

Totally agree.

The way he controls his warriors gives me goosebumps.
It shows that he was the soul of his followers
That ruined the whole scene
@@noram8103 i disagree. Once again it showed Ivar the Boneless, Scourge of the world.
@@noram8103 it's showing the he's the man behind the curtain controlling his puppets. If he dies battles over
nah it was cringe
The actor who plays Ivar, Alex Høgh Andersen, have said many times in interviews that the key aspect that you need to understand about his Ivar is that he is "so used to pain, that he wouldn’t even show it
". Also, as Ragnar said, people will always underestimate him because of his disability, so he has to play cool to be taken seriously.
Knowing this really changes one's perception of this scene imo: his words about being afraid is no longer cowardly, it's probably the first and the last moment in his life when he can really put his guard down. And it happens to be Hvitserk of all people who shares this moment with him, after years of love/hate relationship they reconcile with each other in a very beautiful way - one tells the secret and the other one promises to keep it.
Waited so long through the series for Ivar's death.... Then, it happened, and suddenly I wasn't ready after all. Such a well written show. I miss not having new episodes
This scene was perfectly executed.
Just as Ivar shouted, he died as a warrior and would be reunited with his loved ones in Valhalla. His legacy would be his family, whom he dedicated his life to earning the love and respect of just like his father Ragnar before him.
We also see Floki, who helped Ivar participate in his first battle, reacting to his final battle when he hears the birds take flight. This could symbolize Odin's ravens bringing news of Ivar's death to Valhalla because Floki is extremely spiritual and was instrumental in mentoring young Ivar about the Norse Pantheon.
Finally, Hvitserk's last words to his younger brother come to fruition as now everyone knows of Ivar The Boneless thanks to the preservation of and continued devotion to Norse Mythology and it's Legends. That's one of the awesome things about this show, it's supposed to be educational.
Except that there is no Valhalla. Ragnar himself stopped believing in the religion bs.
@@am1rk1ng63 It's not that Ragnar stopped believing, but his faith was shaken when he saw a vision of the gates of Valhalla closing on him. Even the most devoted of zealots took will lose faith when they find out they're not going to Heaven. So Ragnar took control of his own destiny. He plotted his own death and in a sense became his own God.
Even so, that doesn't mean Valhalla doesn't exist in the minds of his sons. That's why Floki was there, lol. And Floki was more of a father to Ivar anyways. In a sense, Ivar is the most devoted to the Norse Pantheon of all his brothers.
Ivar the one that made me watch the series after ragnar died
And Ubbe
If I could tell you how weirdly this show and Ivar were introduced to me and the energy that surrounded it, we’d be here all day. Lol. I saved the story for my blog though. So at least there’s that.

Hvitserk is the only one amongst the siblings who had the right to kill Ivar and yet he is the only one who acted like Ivar's brother in the end
I’m glad that they’ve spend their last moments together as brothers… not enemies💙

Foreal. No matter what he did it was like watching a little brother get hurt
A person could only imagine the rage and anger that fills a man who is disabled while surrounded by ruthless warriors, all while also being the son of a king.
This was a fitting death. I honestly didn't like Ivar as a character (actor did amazing regardless), but this scene makes you finally care about him. We all find out that Ivar is afraid, and was afraid all his life.
For Alle People to Understand
Ivar was not Afraid to die, he was Afraid to be Forgotten,he was afraid he cant see Valhalla, because he is a cripple/he cant see the Gods. thats why hvitserk Says" No one Will ever Forget Ivar The Boneless".
The Seer Told him his Future, that he will Die in the Bed, With sicknes and Pain. Thats why he chose the death on Battlefield.
His Eyes goes Bluer and bluer because his all Bones break. In the End he cant hold his hands anymore then the Young Guy Stabbed him.
He and Harald were afraid the Viking Era Would End, they know they cant win against the english army .
i Think the Young Guy Who killed ivar was a metapher for a new era. Ubbe Found Floki in America. Hvisterk Become a King of Christian Land.Ivar has been the most Famous VIkings Who ever lives in the History.
Copied
No that's not true... That's just some weird fan boy theory - just listen to the dialogues and you should be able to understand... unless you're a weird fan boy.
Wrong. Because his brother says “it’s okay I won’t tell anyone.” Then says “Ivar will be remembered.”
THANK YOU!!!
Nah, I think he really was afraid to die. In the end most humans are afraid to face that moment.
I feel like he was saying "Don't be afraid" to himself
One thing I like most about Ivar is that we weren't positioned to feel pity for him. It's like when Hvitserk said to him about how he shouldn't try to make them feel sorry for him, they never will. We weren't ever positioned to look down on Ivar, we were in awe of his exploits and, even when he went a bit mad and a bit evil, it was hard to pick a side to be on because both Ivar and Bjorn's sides were worthy of rooting for, at least in my eyes.
Agreed on this

“I am afraid,” Ivar splutters, words no-one thought they would ever hear from Ivar the Boneless. And then there are three more; his final words: “I love you.” Ivar has thus broken the cycle. He has sacrificed himself not for hate, as his father once did, but for love. He was finally able to know and to feel human love; and crucially to demonstrate it instead of demanding it, even if it was right at the end of his life, and only for a few moments. Already Ivar had begun to demonstrate humility. On the eve of the battle he told Hvitserk: “Hundreds of years from now, someone will be proud to find my blood is in their body and my spirit is in their soul.” Maybe part of him realized that in becoming a father he’d finally achieved the immortality after which he’d always hungered, and it was enough. Hail Ívarr hinn Beinlausi
You right, im glad it ended like that, they showed us that he was not a monster He was the smartest warrior and at the end he was a great man that cared about people his journey was already over he had no reason to continue fighting he died like a hero.
Y’all need to rewatch from the start of Ivars birth. Dude was left for dead. Got picked on for being a cripple amongst the most nomadic people of that time. Didn’t have a father to guide him. One of the only characters after Ragnar who is completely himself. Went down a evil hill and got reborn in season 6. Literally died in battle for his brother whom he didn’t respect forever. The battle is about chess. That’s why he “the king” went out and died to save his people. This person who was known as harsh and cruel in the end turns out to be still an afraid kid at heart in the end and admits it. Honestly great character and writing. Y’all just don’t pay attention
I couldn't say it better 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼!
Well said.
When he speaks Old Norse and says Valhalla it brings goosebumps to my body. It's so powerful makes me feel like I could throw hands with the Sun
When Ivar said he was afraid, I lost it.
I feel you there, it pulled even more at my heart strings when hvitserk said he won’t tell anyone 😢
One of the best series ...so authentic , so raw , so many emotions ... epic , breathtaking , heart-breaking , legendary.
Dang, in the end Ivar finally showed fear!! What a great character way to carry the show... I never thought he would be scared to die, guess it caught him off guard too.
Now THAT is how to write an ending. We watched this in awe and silence. Vikings ... one of the few shows which survived the death of a beloved lead character, getting better and better. Ragnar was the light, never really desiring to be king. And Ivar, the darkness, desiring so much more. Each one has something from the other. They are like yin yang, their lifes encompassing the show like a parenthesis.
Btw: Alfred stopped the fighting because he knew in this moment that the battle was over. And when the others heard him and saw Ivar, they knew it too.
It’s also nice to see that Alfred didn’t fight to kill any humans but because ist was necessary and as soon as Ivar was killed he wanted to spare every other warrior on both sides

I think people are taking Ivar's " I'm afraid" line in the wrong way. I took it as Ivar was afraid that he did not achieve enough, that he would just die and his name would be forgotten. That's why Hvitserk told him that "I'll make sure that no one ever forgets Ivar the boneless" because he knew what his brother was afraid of
So why did Hvitserk tell him "I won't tell anyone". On the contrary, I think Ivar was really scared of death instantly, which makes his character even more endearing (he who was often ruthless and terrifying throughout the show).
@@stanpotillon4169 Yea you might be right, I can see that being the case aswell. When I seen the scene the first thing that came into my mind was that he was afraid of being forgotten. But now that I've watched it a couple times now, it's was defintely meant to be open to interpretation.

Alex Høgh Anderson, is an AMAZING actor.
I think that what hvitserk means when he told ivar that he have changed.. fking love ivar dude has suffered so much
I don’t want to believe that people in the comment section are actually this dumb…
have you even watched the show or trailers only? This death was poetic and of symbolic significance. He died like this on purpose, to preserve his name and not die in bed with his bones broken as his condition kept on worsening. What he did allowed him to secure his legacy.. all this dialogue with the saxon soldier was on purpose as well… it was Ivar talking to himself in fact… just note how he was orchestrating the whole battle using other soldies like his dolls… this battlefield was all in his head..
and this saxon warrior wasn’t random.. if you had paid attention in the previous episode you could have spotted that this soldier was the one who was most scared, when looking into the forrest… now this all makes sense with Ivar’s line toward him…
Hirst is a genius script writter and a director…
Thank you most people just make dumb assumptions and claims because of fanboying another character or just a casual. But you really Went in depth spoke the truth.
absolutely brother, glad you understand it and agree
I also love how his final conversation with the seer ties in perfectly with this. I think when the seer said Ivar would do anything to avoid his faith is about him willing to do anything to live without his condition, bc it is the reasom he chose die die in the first place. This is probally why he wanted to believe the seer because Ivar knew that he was going to die like a warrior that day because he knew he could never be healed anyways. I also think he was afraid because he genuienly didn't want to die but he had no other choice
The annoying part is narratively his death is rushed and contrived but on a character level this was a perfect death
Thanks for explain but what do u mean that fight was in his head? Like sure he was controling fighters like dolls, but that fight was real right? So he was just dreamimg during battle or what do u mean?
This is easily the most emotionally impactful moment I've watched in cinematic history.
Ivar was stabbed 8 times. In Norse mythology the number 8 means, "Something that is unstable or an unlucky number". This is which symbolizes Ivar as a character throughout the show.
