According to the actual history that inspired the show, Ivar was the supreme commander of The Great Heathen Army & also succeeded Ragnar as the most powerful, feared, influential, formidable & successful Viking ruler of them all in his era yet here on Vikings, we have Bjorn claiming total command over the invasion fleet while Ivar whom Ragnar himself entrusted his legacy to in his final days is instead relegated to supporting cast status!!! I wonder how long we'll have to wait until Ivar finally assumes control & command over the army from Bjorn & truly becomes Ivar The Boneless? & how long until Ivar & Alfred finally begin their epic war against each other to determine the fate of all Europe? Will Ivar & Alfred despite being on opposing sides nonetheless develop a great respect & friendship for one another as their fathers did? Ivar The Boneless, youngest son & chosen heir of Ragnar Lothbrok: Earl of Kattegat & King of Norway vs Alfred The Great, future King of Wessex & first true unifier & King of all England and son of Athelstan = I cannot wait to see that play out on the show :)

DragonHeart613 ivars time will come soon and i hope it comes soon enough because i really want to see ivar start putting everybody in there place and show why everyone shall fear ivar the boneless

[@BeardedMikeG]

As you know the show isn't following history exactly but it does appear the show is leading up to Ivar being the leader.

[@medusa9249]

won't take long

[@aksysus]

yes but at this moment ivar isnt ready..bjorns destiny is to become a explorer and traveler, i mean he becomes the king of sweden...ivar eventually takes control because bjorn steps away to follow his dreams and explore...bjorn could easily kill ivar lol dont get it twisted the only reason ivar became so ruthless and the leader of the main army is because bjorn had other parts of his life to fufill..i feel bad for the other brothers tho..they were so lesser accomplished compared to bjorn, ivar, ragnar and rollo lol sucks but ehh who cares

[@misterairsoft101]

Hvitserk and Ubbe are 20 and 22..... They have their wholes lives ahead of them and your comparing their accomplishments to that of Bjorn? Pure stupidity right there.

[@TheCactusJack100]

Ivar is the most Alpha, flicks his own snot water on his face like it’s nothing.

[@AiRbOrNeAnDrOiD]

Alexander Ludwig's performance seems kinda forced here...

[@TheArcher101]

He's Ragnar-ing to put them in their place beneath him - rather than doing it by just acting like himself

[@FireAndBlood96]

I've often wondered is it the actor trying to be Ragnar or Bjorn trying to be Ragnar 😂

[@ibrokemyownheart4953]

When Bjorn made Ivar a beta-male

[@tolisleontas7]

He never made Ivar a beta. Ivar was always an Alpha thats why bjorn needed to show him who he is. Ivar doesn't care.

[@user-wh8mb7tm2g]

They won because of Ivar

[@felicianofrontado3134]

1:10 If you have to say you're the king ... xD ...

[@ww12tt]

you are no true king ;)

[@Archonsx]

Then...the dude that made the quote died while taking a shit hahaha, not the best source ...and if u knew anything about power , clearly u don't , u would know that sometimes u need to show who is the king . Please stop being an edgy kid using an edgy quote.

[@ww12tt]

Well, Tywin is objectively the character among those who lived in the books and show timeline, who sat at the top of the power food chain the longest. Even his death is primarily because of an emotional lap from his eldest son. So yeah, he does seem like a pretty good example to take advice by. And there is a difference between showing who is king and saying you are the king.

[@kogs1233]

Unless you are a Viking

[@tedof87]

Bjorn isn't a king nor did he say he was.

[@jonathan6935]

Ivar is such a good actor

[@kushminister5137]

yeah i think it would be easier for people to accept that bjorn is significantly older than his brothers

[@legendarysixsamurai-shien402]

This dude washed his face with his snot and spit...

[@blankabb1289]

I feel like it's fake when bjorn play his role

[@ossiebowman3731]

Is no one talking about how Ivar blew his nose and spat in that water and then put it on his face?

[@look5000]

Ivar is just an epic troll in this scene and Bjorn totally lost his cool.

[@barbossa2220]

Ragnar was faaaaaaaar better leader than this C.R.A.P. Bjorn is just another butcher thats all ! Not so smart! but Ivar is better than him, strong, clever and reasonable like his father was. That cripple thing is what made a balance in the series, if it wasnt due to his "illness" Ivar wouldnt have that flawed intelligence full of rage. He would have been a perfect protagonist.

[@iron_sideentertainment726]

All the brothers realize that bjorn could fuck them all up 1 on 1 maybe even 2 on 1 depending on which 2. I think ubbe and hitsverk could probably hold there own the longest though

[@Blackuno3]

Ivar like we not even remotely equal in tactical strategy

[@AJ-fl3dh]

What about ivar revenge to kill his mother's killer ❓️

[@lordnarasimha2500]

Why are they spitting in that bowl....

[@01Natalcia01]

Maybe for luck? I noticed that few times... xD

[@jokerman9295]

I think only Ivar spit in the bowl instead of spitting in Bjorn’s face LOL

[@ckwadahell]

0:46 lol

[@homelander5499]

Ubbe is the best son of Ragnar..

[@grayfox196]

ivar faces are amazingly

[@movieclips12081]

Ivar show him what he is in the battle, get ready poor Bjorn

[@zuljin7640]

Bjorn's trying to be Ragnar. Doesn't suit him, but props for trying.

[@sarahgray430]

Bjorn is usually so mellow...who pissed in his porridge that morning? Anyway his baby brother is having none of it...Ivar looks like he's about to burst into an a capella version of You Don't Own Me!

[@shahidulkhan9566]

Probably because he knew Ivar wasn't worried about taking him on. Tried to make clear he was leader but we all know ivar ended up with majority of the army.

[@randymali]

The acting is so caricatural !?! Pretty awful

[@shranoscryptinity8190]

i dont understand why everybody is spittig and snotting into that bowl of water and also cleaning their face and hands with it

[@deyaqreea775]

Hahahaha after finishing the show look at how many battles ivar won🔥🔥🔥

[@rollomcfries6737]

Bjorn trying to be macho is cringe I can see why Ivar didn’t take him seriously

[@iakovos56]

From all the brothers Bjorn was the only one who fight battle before he raid the whole Paris with Ragnar

[@user-wh8mb7tm2g]

They got slaughtered in Paris

[@LokiLaufeyson130897]

That's an english fail in the title of the video hahaha I actually thought Bjorn will tell Ivar that Ivar is the leader lol like.. that never happened whats this xDD

[@kingox-]

+Tragedy omg you're right, sorry man, i'll fix it right now

[@LokiLaufeyson130897]

Arbeandro no probs fam 😁😁

[@hopelessguy1397]

This is not the version of King Ragnar. We have to remember when Ragnar gave that speech there were 2 Earls and his brother and son, as well as Floki. So now, you know the big difference

[@seifmns5389]

Ivar ❤

[@torres7485]

Lol ivar was the real leader of the great army

[@theanonimuser3151]

In the end Ivar proves that he is better than Bjorn

[@bannedaccount540]

In reality a Thing/Moot would be called to elect a new Earl (or King) of Kattegat and to also elect a leader for the Great Heathen army, Gifts/bribes would be given by all potential candidates to the influencial and powerful landowners and the elected leader might not even be a relative of Ragnar's as the concept of heredical was only really a thing with the Franks at this point, long story short Halfdan Ragnarson (Hvitserk in the show) was elected leader of the Army and Bjorn wasn't even present

[@korowashere5546]

Meh...He's trying to hard to play it like Travis. Just be yourself goddammit

[@froseo9]

I think so too, but thats probably what the director has told him to do. He is ragnars son afterall

[@thenoblejak8179]

thats what he (bjorn) tries to do to imitate his idol his father

[@CARBONER01891]

BJORN IS THE BEST

[@richardvazquez4247]

CARBONER01891 Of course yes.

[@anarchymachine5221]

[@uchechukwuraphael708]

I just love their accent

[@retrodejavu6399]

Too many roosters not enough hens always leads to a cock fight!

[@kevinescobar370]

“What do you know?” Bjorn said to the man who had the idea to spread out their army to trick the saxons while he wanted to just make a shield wall for the umpteenth time

[@trentbacker9562]

Such manliness from Björn. Ivar probably felt excited and turned on by such displays of machoism. 😂

[@joeymurphy5617]

Yep, Bjorn is Ragnar's boy

[@AJ0223]

That didn't age well

[@agenttheater5]

Cato's doing very well for himself, now he actually gets some say in how he brings 'pride to his district', mostly because he actually is genuinely bringing pride to his people and hasn't been manipulated into it. I wonder how long Glimmer, Cato, Clove and the boy from District 1 from the first Hunger Games would have survived against even a small group of Vikings anyhow?

[@Templarspartan]

Bjorn you're just a foot soldier. A good one but let's not pretend you've ever been a leader or in charge a major campaign up to this point. You lucked out in Spain and waltzed right up to an empty dock and conveniently empty city. Also not sure what's the point of being "Alpha" in front of a group of people who never questioned you to begin with. Instead of being defensive over who's making the plan, why don't you share yours with the rest of the class.

[@adamtucker1064]

Bjorn tells brothers he’s the leader in a nutshell: MEEEE !!!!! NOT YOU NOT YOU NOT YOU AND NOT YOU
