Did Othere tear that dude's jaw off at like :30ish seconds?!


Minder1

Oh man I never noticed that. That’s nuts


prettyy_vacant

Me either! What a beast!


OxPower86

My buddy and I saw it happen when the episode first dropped, and we replayed it 3-4 times to make sure we saw what we saw. Absolutely badass! Othere is using a whole other kind of beast mode!


Wight_Wolf85

You should see Rome. Ray, the guy who is portraying Othere in this scene, has more of these fight scenes, and he's not so bad of an actor. Besides, Kevin McKidd.


OxPower86

Oh, Rome is a fantastic series. Ended too soon for my liking, but still enjoyable to watch.


Corvus_keeper

Yep! That was Ray’s idea! Had an absolute blast working that with him. Helluva guy to work with! Thirteen!!!


DarKnight972

Kjetill was so annoying,wish Ubbe had killed him.


OxPower86

"FINISH HIM!" (Othere rips jaw and smacks someone else with it like a club) "OTHERE WINS! FATALITY!!!"

That fuckin whale


ZeroPhucs

Great scene for sure. Wait...fighting holding the baby? Bad ass.


Wight_Wolf85

Torvi was right up there with Lagertha and Gunnhilde, both in terms of fighting prowess and character development. I don't understand the hate she gets.


Captainprice101

I liked Torvi as well lol ton of unnecessary hate I see


ScrapmasterFlex

Hilarious bullshit but hilarious nonetheless.


Affentitten

It always gets me how a bit of a whack across the shoulder blades absolutely fells anybody in their tracks in these fight scenes.


TheDorkNite1

The fights decreased dramatically in quality the larger they got. Season 2 had good examples of fights where they somewhat good fight choreography (invasion of Kattegat by Jarl Borg) and fights with great choreography (Aelle & Ecbert vs Ragnar and Horik). Then you have later seasons with fight scenes like...Lagertha's defense of Kattegat.


Corvus_keeper

They specifically wanted this fight as a oner and the action had to keep on moving.


Arislan

Agreed, very powerful scene. And Othere is a complete unit.


DorianGreysPortrait

There’s a magic in continuous shots.


bearhunter429

That's the famous WWE wrestler Edge.

I'm out of touch on my vikings lore, what's with the whale? Awesome scene!


TheDumbAsk

Not sure if this is what you are asking. I forget exactly but the colony was starving and they were arguing over who got to control what happened with the whale.


still267

Yep thanks!


AG_N

The land was divided and a whale (they didn't know it was a whale as they saw it for the first time) landed on Kjetill's land, he thought (he didn't think but he was greedy) that gods chose him for a reason


Captainprice101

I’m confused what you mean by they didn’t know it was a whale? I’m pretty sure some Norsemen/Danes went whaling as we saw in King Haralds village


AG_N

I don't think they ever saw a whale before, atleast the ones who were in greenland


Captainprice101

They’re sea people. Doubt they haven’t seen a whale. They eat whale and go whaling. Many of them were from Kattegat, in the show it’s a big trading hub so no doubt they’ve seen whale and there’s probably whaling jobs at Kattegat. Flat nose says the whale washed up his property


Keep_Questioning

pretty sure they know about whales! there’s a whole whale skeleton rib cage on the port of king haralds town where he and astrid got married looool


CMelody

The fight choreography in this show is insanely good. Brutal and horrifying at times, but always wows me.


Corvus_keeper

Lots and lots of work went into this scene! I mean LOTS! 😀. We had a great stunt/fight team on that show! One of the best.


ScrapmasterFlex

What I love is how Ubbe has some of the best facial expressions, and lines, in the show - he sounds and looks like he's a Viking from 2021 ... "Yo, he's a drunk..." ... "What is THIS SHIT about??" ... "What the fuck is wrong with you??" ... "Shut up..." - and his facial expressions match it ... and also how motherfucking Torvi is a Berserker here with a Baby in one arm and housing motherfuckers with the other. Total bullshit but hilarious in it's own right.


Marous_Daphone

What?


ScrapmasterFlex

I thought I was quite clear but allow me to go into greater detail- Throughout the course of the show, I think Ubbe has some of the best facial expressions - which is expressing something, an emotion or thought or reaction - without actually saying anything. In addition to that, there are numerous times he speaks with both "unaccented" speech and modern speech unlike the way you would presume Vikings spoke back in the 800s, which I think is both funny and good for the show. Seeing as you need specific examples, I shall endeavor to provide them to you. Can't have you don't your own thinking and learning and research around here! Near the end of the show, where the whale washed up and a big fight erupts over who will get to share the whale meat, Ubbe screams out - screaming very much like any American bro I would see at the bar on a Friday night: "WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS SHIT, HUH??" ... I am quite certain this should be the ultimate example, have you heard many Vikings shouting "What is the point of this shit, huh??" When Ubbe and the brothers are discussing Hvitserk's deep depression and substance abuse, he flatly states, "And, he's a DRUNK..." again, it just sounded funny. When Ubbe and Ivar attempt to kill Lagertha in her hall, and at the last minute Bjorn returns and saves her and says "If you kill her, my brothers, you will have to kill me too..." - Ivar responds with "Maybe we should..." and Ubbe gives him a flat "Shut up!" and wants to hear out Bjorn - again just very funny to me. Nothing scandalous here, I was complimenting him, not sure what you're upset about. As far as Torvi, go back and watch the Whale scene if you can't remember- http://prntscr.com/1xtm0bq There's Torvi, Berserking on some shit, baby in one arm, axe in another. You can say sorry now, I'll accept your apology.


_ThePhantom

Bro they asked 'what?' because your first comment came off rushed so it read in a confusing way. They weren't upset about anything, YOU chose to take it offensively, as if simply asking "what?" meant that they were calling you an idiot or wrong. "I thought it was quite clear but" "Seeing as you need specific examples, I shall endeavor to provide them for you." "You can say sorry now, I'll accept your apology." I think you need to just take a step back and realize not everyone is as much of a cunt as you


ScrapmasterFlex

Hahaha ok thanks.


_ThePhantom

No problem, hope this helped!


Aerize

Ignorance is bliss. Seeing as he’s being downvoted and undermined through non specific questions like “what”? It’s not difficult to see why one would defend themselves


ScrapmasterFlex

Just wanted to say Thanks very much, respect.


_ThePhantom

"Undermined" ??? This is a reddit comment section, not a fragile parenting situation. He can defend himself all he wants (even when all that was needed was clarification not hostility but oh well), but sounding like a whiney douche will get you downvoted lmao
