Askeladd is the best character🥹The title of the episode 24 is "The End of the Prologue." Yes, season 1 is just the prologue to this epic story. In other words, it's just Thorfinn's backstory. Season 2 is where the story really begins. Season 2 is a great masterpiece. Let’s go, PEAKLAND SAGA.

on episode 22: the beginning of this episode is absolutely gut wrenching all over again, and I just have to talk about this first. it took until Bjorn's dying day, just to be able to confirm that he and Askeladd were really friends. and when Askeladd lays him to rest, you can tell he's not really okay. he just put down probably his only real friend in all the world, and now he has to go play his usual "game" with Thorfinn. it seems so petulant, and childish by comparison... until you remember what Thorfinn's demand for a duel is all about in the first place. it's always been about grief. Thorfinn lost his father to Askeladd's flippant choices, and this entire time, he's been trying to force that to mean something to Askeladd. revenge isn't a gainful endeavor... it's an attempt at communication. it's a desperate plea for the perpetrator to feel what the victim feels, and to know the weight of what they did. feel it the way I feel it. but that's the hardest request Thorfinn could make of a man like Askeladd. look how deeply Askeladd will bury his genuine feelings, even for his truest friend. even Bjorn literally couldn't live to see the day when Askeladd would admit to something so vulnerable. from Thorfinn's perspective, what right does Askeladd have to peace in grief here? this should be fitting catharsis. but that's been the downfall of warrior culture from the very beginning. none of them can admit to feeling love for anything. to value anything is to risk it... stoicism is their only defense against retaliation. Askeladd's greatest tactical ploy is to remain detached... this allows him to be cruel if he needs to be. meanwhile, no one can rob him of anything that he never had in the first place. preemptively emptying your life of all true joy is the price you pay for getting to treat sentimental people like suckers. and Askeladd does treat Thorfinn like a sucker... but he does so bitterly. Thorfinn's temper may cost him the fight every time, but I don't think it's really a loss to be an idiot who still gets to feel something. given all of this, the rest of the episode is put into context. this is the story of everything Askeladd could've been sentimental about. all the things he could've earnestly dedicated himself to all along, but abandoned instead. it's no accident that the story of Artorius and the tale of Vinland sound so incidentally similar. they go like this: "my mother was a slave. she said that far to the west, in a land across the sea, where ordinary people cannot reach, there lies a paradise where the hero Artorius lives. the hero is still there now, healing his battle wounds. if our ancestor really was living in such a nice place, he'd never come back to a world like this." "far to the west, across the sea, there is a land called Vinland. it's warm. and fertile. a faraway land, where neither slave traders nor the flames of war can reach." the key difference is that Avalon, where Artorius rests, is said to be a place where ordinary people can't go. and Askeladd says that the hero probably wouldn't leave paradise for the sake of a world like this. it paints an inherently hopeless picture, where the downtrodden must wait to be saved by a distant figure, who seems like they'd have less incentive to care for this place, the worse you think it is. Lydia's family literally waited for this hero, for 500 years, and he never appeared. but Vinland is a place where the low and downtrodden can dream of escaping to, when they have no hope left. every time we hear the story of Vinland, it's being told to a slave, with the message: if you feel like there is nothing but cruelty for you here, there is still a place you can go. and therein lies the fundamental flaw in Askeladd's thinking. as a child, he was waiting, just like his mother, for a hero to manifest and save them... and the hero never came. without that hero, Askeladd himself had to take up a sword and protect his mother in her time of need. he says it himself: “if Artorius wasn’t going to come save my mother in that moment, then he’s never going to come. do you understand? someone must do it. a person, not a hero, and not a god.” Askeladd says that when he first held a sword in his hand, it felt natural to him. but rather than taking this to mean that he could do the work of the hero Artorius himself, Askeladd assumes that he is the inheritor of Olaf's violent Danish blood. from then on, as a disempowered child, Askeladd's goal was to excel by his father's standards, and surpass him at his own brutality. cruelty is power, according to those standards... and Askeladd needed the upper hand. that, combined with his mother's continued misfortune, sapped all the hope out of his perception of his life. if you want proof of how callous Askeladd became... think back to Hordaland, the slave girl in episode 8, and how Askeladd reacted to her. he'd already given up on the idea of being the one that the downtrodden are waiting for... yet Thorfinn is the one who manages to tell her the story of Vinland. all Askeladd knows is that the world is cruel, and he's a part of that cruelty. he gets to be top dog, but he also has no right to care about anything now. he's lived in the role of a Dane, like his father, because his cynicism convinced him that nothing better was ever coming. he treated his own corruption as a foregone conclusion... a fact of his blood, and the state of the world. by the time Askeladd encounters Thors, he's already lost faith in the legendary archetype... just in time for Thors to perfectly fulfill the heroic image of Artorius. Askeladd is still tempted, regardless of practicality... and for a moment, he asks Thors to lead them. but ultimately, he's been too cynical for too long. he's grown into a person who is ill suited to grasp at hope. it's too late for him to choose to believe in something he really, genuinely wants. and so Askeladd proves that, just as he believes Artorius wouldn't return to a world like this, a world like this would also reject Artorius if he appeared. embodying that archetype will get you killed by a man like Askeladd. he even calls Thors naive... he mocks him for being such a good man. but Askeladd himself is the reason why a man like him isn’t able to continue to exist. and then, after killing his hero, he gains Thorfinn. and almost immediately this six year old child decides that, rather than kill Askeladd in his sleep, he'll try to fight Askeladd fairly. it's like a slap in the face, and Askeladd fully earned it on every level. as Thorfinn grows up, he is baited along, until he rises to meet the standard of brutality that Askeladd represents to him. and we see the twisted thing that Thorfinn becomes, when Askeladd grows up to be just like Olaf. everything that Thorfinn has ever done has been some kind of reflection on the way Askeladd lives, without even trying. and when Askeladd is beating the crap out of Thorfinn in this episode, it's impossible not to see it as Askeladd attacking an effigy of himself. this comes directly after Askeladd loses a dear friend, and realizes that he wasted all their time together without ever admitting that it meant anything. Askeladd hates vikings, he hates Danes, he hates himself... and Thorfinn is just like him. which makes it incredibly bitter when Askeladd rejects Thorfinn, and says he only ever used him for his own convenience. the raw parts of Thorfinn are embarrassing... the stupid parts of him feel the worst. even after all this time, Thorfinn is no closer to anything that could be considered success, and Askeladd is no closer to escaping the kind of person he's become. Thors was a good man, Thorfinn is right to ache for the loss he suffered, and Askeladd knows that pain, because he experienced it with his mother. but Thorfinn wears all the ugly vulnerability of caring way too much, right out there on his sleeve, and it only emphasizes how much Askeladd has forsaken his own true motives. one of Thorfinn's core character traits is his extreme, longstanding dedication to a goal that he has very strong feelings about. meanwhile, it seems like Askeladd can only ever commit himself to something he really cares about, when it's just a little too late.

yeah, Askeladd and Thorfinn are basically one and the same. a child, who believes in the morals of their beloved parent, becoming enraged at that parent's death, at the hands of a man they hate, and then learning all the skills of the man they hate, while they plot to destroy him with those skills... only to become exactly like him by the time their task is through. this is the cycle of abuse... Askeladd grew up to be just like his dad. and it sucks, because he knows he's ruining Thorfinn. but also, when Askeladd kicks the shit out of Thorfinn, it's basically a reflection of his self hatred. Thorfinn says all the pathetic parts out loud, and that's frustrating. but also, Thorfinn hasn't given up on the important part. the emotion. the thing Askeladd lost along the way, and the reason why he's such a rat bastard. Askeladd can watch slaves get killed or abused, slaughter villages, steal, lie, cheat, etc. because he offloaded his emotional responses to these things. Thorfinn may lose every time he fights Askeladd, but Thorfinn also keeps the most important part of himself. when Askeladd dies, he sets Thorfinn free. I think Askeladd always knew he was the worst thing for Thorfinn.

@kamuyking551 Ай бұрын

on episode 24: ah, and now we've completed the trend... from Olaf, to Thors, to Ragnar, to Sweyn, to the man in the village they raided, to even himself... Askeladd has never met a father figure he couldn't kill. in all seriousness though, this completes the picture that the narrative has been painting of Askeladd all along. he's the child of the violent Danish conqueror Olaf, and the enslaved Welsh former noblewoman Lydia, and this is the culmination of his heritage. because of the circumstances Olaf put him in, he gained the name, Askeladd. covered in ash. literally besmirched. he wore it all his life. but the name his mother truly gave him, was Lucius Artorius Castus, after their ancestor, the hero of legend, who was supposed to return someday and protect their homeland. Askeladd had this in him all along. from the very beginning, when Askeladd raised his sword against Olaf in defense of his mother, he was acting in Artorius' stead. stepping into the role of the hero, when no hero would appear. someone must do it. a person... not a hero, not a god. and yet... Askeladd could not accept that it was really him who was supposed to fill that role in earnest. even when a sword felt fitting in his hand, he attributed it to his Danish blood, and Olaf's violence. and, as a self fulfilling prophecy, Askeladd chose to reject any kind of honorable call to altruism, all his life. he had to be underhanded, in order to kill Olaf in the first place. he had to be brutal... he had to harm that man with the tools that Olaf himself had taught him in the first place. and with compromised morals like these... why pretend to be a more noble person than what Askeladd considers to be the truth? why even try? and so, Askeladd became something he despised. came to resemble it so closely that he literally did the very same thing to Thorfinn, that Olaf did to him. presiding over him. teaching him brutality, in direct opposition to the desires of the beloved fallen parent that is actually dear to this child's heart... the one the conqueror killed. and despite everything... when Askeladd first saw Thors, he knew. he understood that these were the qualities that Artorius should possess. this is the behavior that denotes his heroic archetype. if ever there was a man worth following, it was Thors. but by then, Askeladd had already given up. this bitter, jaded, cynical pragmatism that he lived by... it kept him from committing to the path that should've mattered to him most. he killed the best hero that the world could've given him, but cynicism was never going to change his true desires. that's really the message here. rejecting hope doesn't change what a person really wants deep down. Askeladd's whole character is defined by trying to outfox everyone. trying to stay one step ahead of all the enemies he's made. trying to come out the winner, specifically by making sure that everyone he encounters loses. Askeladd is not excluded from this. everything he truly wants, deep down, is always out of reach if he isn't willing to try for it. he's just depriving himself. he couldn't admit that he wanted to try and give Wales its hero, until he'd backed himself into such a tight corner that there was no choice but to die for it. the one bitter move left available to him, and yet, it feels like he finally got to live without artifice for that brief moment at the end. I think it's significant that Askeladd starts to display parallels to Thors as his final hour approaches. and this is something that I had really wanted to mention back during episode 20, but couldn't until now. back in episode 2, we get a particular scene... Lief is at the pier, and he tells one of the girls from the village not to worry about Ari and the other boys. Thors is only taking as many as can sail the boat, and he's planning on sending them back home as soon as he can hire a crew to take him the rest of the way. then the girl asks "does that mean Thors is going to the battlefield alone?" and as she says this, we get a shot of Thors from behind, standing solitary in the snow. I consider this scene to be a direct parallel to the scene in episode 20, just after Askeladd sends Atli away, telling him never to fight on a battlefield again. the shot of Askeladd after Atli leaves is framed very similarly, and for good reason. this is Askeladd sending able men away from his own personal battlefield, because he knows there's better out there for them. Askeladd will send them home, and he will go to the battlefield alone. and just like Thors' history as a warrior coming back to haunt him... Askeladd crafted the conditions for the situation he's in. karma has come for him, and he'll meet it as best he can. and it's not just that. Thors died for the sake of his son, and his crew. he traded his life for their safety, and won the fight that mattered. by dying the way he does, Askeladd is going to set Canute up for success, to set Thorfinn free of his revenge quest, and to give Wales a better future, even if he'll never see it. it's altruism. it's the point where cynicism falls away, and everything that matters is all that is left. and so, surrounded by enemies, Askeladd stands tall, makes an altruistic sacrifice, and leaves this world behind, while Thorfinn tries desperately to hold on. the way he's been living his life all this time... Thorfinn has only ever lost, over and over again. he only knows how to lose. his true fight is to step into a future, beyond what Thors or Askeladd could live to see, and find out what he may stand to gain, for the first time ever. this is the battle that a true warrior fights, and it'll be the hardest one.

also on episode 22: another thing that I think is worth pointing out here, is the way that Askeladd's view of the Artorius legend dovetails very interestingly with Canute's views on god. Askeladd's perception of the world is that it's a cruel place, full of either powerful vile people who take what they want, or hapless suffering victims that are destined to be exploited. the world, such that it is, cannot compare to the paradise where Artorius resides, and from which he won't return. the ugliness that Askeladd observes is both caused by, and befitting of, the tainted people who live here. but Askeladd says, in his story, that he only ever remembers living in hardship, throughout his entire childhood. his mother, however, could remember a time when she didn't have to live so poorly. paradise seems achievable to her, because she has a better point of comparison, for how life should be. and this same observation can be said of Canute. say what you will about Ragnar, but the reason why Canute feels like paradise on earth is achievable, is because Ragnar raised him well. Canute knows what a peaceful life should be like. many men haven't experienced it, and don't know how to achieve it, but Canute does have this uncommon knowledge. and in the same way that children raised by violent people may rise to the standard of cruelty that they're surrounded with... a child who is raised with knowledge of peace is equipped to pursue it. Ragnar did his part with Canute, and it's something that Askeladd couldn't have done. and then Ragnar died a thankless death at Askeladd's hands all the same, because this is what Askeladd truly has to contribute. peace is a heartfelt desire, but cruelty is power to him. it's ends vs. means. and so we have Canute, who wants to use the power of a king, as a means to achieve peace. in other words... Canute's goal isn't to rely on some higher power to save humanity. paradise doesn't have to be a far off place, if he can create it where he is. the real question is... can he do it like this?

on episode 23: I feel so bad for Thorfinn in this episode... it really feels like Askeladd is leaving him behind this time. he's got a new dedication to Canute's cause, and by comparison, Thorfinn's zero progress feels stale and uninteresting. I've always said that the reason for Thorfinn's dedication for Askeladd is one part rage/hatred, and one part guilt over having watched his father die without being capable of doing anything. this means that, when Thorfinn follows Askeladd, he's partially seeking the catharsis of finally doing enough damage to Askeladd to match the pain he feels... and he's partially seeking validation. he wants to erase the weakness he felt when Thors died. he wants to erase the helplessness of the child he used to be. Thorfinn hates himself, and has been trying to erase as much of who he used to be as he possibly can. it's why Leif could hardly recognize him... he's changed himself so drastically. and as weird as it is to consider... Askeladd's validation of his progress means everything to Thorfinn. Askeladd is the standard of domineering power that Thorfinn has always measured himself against. and all this time, as Thorfinn has hurt people, and destroyed things, and become so alienated from everyone around him, he's been telling himself that the ends will justify the means. it'll all be worth something if he can achieve his goal. but at the end of the day, he's still a child. and Askeladd was the one person who understood him... probably better than Thorfinn could even imagine, given the similarities in their personal histories. and it just makes all of this even worse. to be rejected by Askeladd is just... the lowest pit of abject failure for Thorfinn. I mean... Thorfinn has done everything that Askeladd ever asked, and has only received beatings in return. he's turned out so much like Askeladd, absorbing his every lesson. Thorfinn hates him... this is still true. what did Askeladd turn him into? and now he's just gonna leave him? it's intensely painful to see what little Askeladd has left him with. this is Thorfinn at the end of his rope. he's expended absolutely everything he has, striving at the expense of anything else he could be. it's awful, seeing him all hollowed out like this. also, Askeladd's question at the end... "why is luck never on my side in the 11th hour?" the answer to this is obvious... it's a pattern with him. he killed Thors instead of accepting him as the Artorius figure he'd been waiting for. he betrayed Ragnar just in time to realize that he was only hopping out of the frying pan and into the fire with the whole Sweyn situation. he played his men right up until he'd messed with them too much, and they retaliated against him. he couldn't admit that Bjorn meant anything to him until he was dying. Askeladd only commits to the things he truly desires when it's just a little too late. it's always like this with him. he's just smart enough to keep suckering himself out of everything that would've actually made him happy in life.

@kamuyking551 Ай бұрын

also on episode 24: also, can I just say how much every episode in season 1 is recontextualized by knowing everything about Askeladd the entire time? a rewatch is crazy. knowing what must've been going through Askeladd's head on the boat when he met Thors. knowing how he must've felt directly after acquiring Thorfinn as a tag along. that scene, where Thorfinn had a sword held over Askeladd's head as he slept, but chose not to kill him that way. the fact that Askeladd was actually awake, and didn't do anything to stop it... and it's still unclear what that meant, even if there's more depth to it now! was Askeladd willing to let Thorfinn kill him that way, if he chose to? was Askeladd disappointed when Thorfinn backed down from a dishonorable course of action like that? it kind of casts accidental judgement onto Askeladd's own decision to kill Olaf the way he did... but Thorfinn couldn't have known how much weight that would hold. or, maybe, Askeladd just wasn't worried about being threatened by a small child like that. who's to say? when Askeladd raids villages, plunders civilian homes for loot, and kills everyone there... is this out of spite for those who live on soil that the people of Wales were cast off of? does Askeladd see the irony of the way he sets his feet squarely in Olaf's cruel footsteps? look at the way he talks about slaves... the way he says that anyone can be used, with the right approach. it's an extremely callous stance to take, given what he and his mother went through, but it's almost like he's still bitter about that. like, this is just the way the world is. he and his mother suffered, so why should anyone else be immune? and at the same time, he's also doing this to Thorfinn. Askeladd knows he's manipulating him. he's fully aware. it almost seems like there's this push and pull... Askeladd has to be aware of how he's ruining Thorfinn, but it's almost like Thorfinn is proof that this kind of ruination can't be escaped. it's reinforcing the cynicism. even the son of Thors can't just choose to be better than this. or at least, that's what would be easiest to believe. but then Thorfinn still has this annoying honor system that he adheres to. somewhere, deep down, Thorfinn still has intuitive knowledge of right and wrong, and he still knows what separates a good man from a scumbag, even if his (lack of) upbringing makes it near impossible to choose the better path. Thorfinn is ruined because the things he values are so diametrically opposed to the type of person he's becoming. Askeladd is turning Thorfinn into something that Thorfinn knows he hates. and that reflects right back onto Askeladd, who is no different. maybe this is part of why Askeladd jumps at the opportunity, when Canute turns up. Artorius is never going to appear, but Askeladd already figured that out a long time ago. a person has to do it, and Canute can become that person, if Askeladd goes all in. even back in episode 10, when Askeladd hears that Thorkell has kidnapped Canute, and he decides they're going to steal him... I think Askeladd saw that as his moment. this is after Thorfinn and Askeladd have that talk, on the hillside, about how Thorfinn will beat him eventually. Askeladd is getting older, and Thorfinn is getting stronger... Askeladd expects it someday. history turns over in much the same way, and Askeladd gives a bit of history about the fall of the Romans. and all of this culminates in Askeladd's observation, about the irony of dawn in the age of twilight. when Bjorn asks him what his plan is for capturing Canute, Askeladd says "who knows. this is the age of twilight, Bjorn. let's go out with a bang." Askeladd knew he was going to have to play his full hand here. this was for everything. they go to Wales, Askeladd meets with Gratianus, he makes his intentions known... Askeladd is even willing to cash in his ultimate long con. he's never liked the Danes, and he's willing to throw any one of them under the bus for the sake of his true goal. but that's Askeladd's entire problem. when you spend your whole life throwing people under the bus, you can't count on anything but their resentment. and while Thorfinn perfectly displays how reliable resentment can be... Askeladd also knows what he'd deserve, if anyone he's ever victimized truly got what was fair. Askeladd's defense against the morally fair demands of the slighted, was his cynicism. to drop that would be to admit that he has little grounds to demand the things he wants in the first place. his whole plan for feeding his men during their long march was raiding and pillaging. he killed Ragnar just to get him out of the way of Canute's development, into the kind of person Askeladd wanted. for the sake of Wales, Askeladd dismantled the warmest parental relationship that Canute had. all Ragnar ever wanted was to raise Canute as his son, and ensure his safety and happiness. but Askeladd has already proven that when good men die and leave their sons to him, he can harden them into a formidable tool... and he knows how to use them. and yet, what does Askeladd have in the end? his crew gets dismantled. Bjorn dies, only shortly after the two of them admit that they're friends. Canute hates him. Thorfinn hates him. and for the sake of his mother's homeland, a place that he values highly, but somewhere he's never lived, and never will... Askeladd is left with no other option but to sacrifice everything. could different means have led to better ends? maybe... but where, along this road, could any of this have been diverted? I think the hardest part about all of this, is that it's easy to see the better life that Askeladd could've led. if he'd been able to care about anyone properly... what could he have had? I love the shot at the end, of the dagger falling from Thorfinn's hand. it directly calls back to Thors dropping his sword, all the way back in episode 1. that weapon encapsulates all the things that Thorfinn has done, since it was handed to him in the first place. and in an instant, it falls, and this chapter is over.
