You gotta put yourself in the shoes of someone that has killed in cold blood so many people that it took him like 10 years to understand what that really means :I personally can't get behind this turn the other cheek message Thorfinn is on in Midland Saga
The storytelling is fantastic though, but it does pain me to see one of the best fighters become a pacifist like this. However, we see him learn what his father was trying to teach him. It's a pain to watch this show weekly, but this season does create great discussions. This feels like if HBO had an anime show tbhI personally can't get behind this turn the other cheek message Thorfinn is on in Midland Saga
It's been showcased before but this episode brings into highlight how far Throfinn and Canute have turned since they first met each other. Even if people don't like the direction the series has gone after S1, writing for this series is on point as usual.Vinland Saga
Thorfinn finally understanding what Thors was trying to teach him so many years ago
Canute's deluded ass
He was def the heart of season 1, and I was going into this season thinking that it's going to be hard to continue without him. I thought they did a good job telling the story without him, but Askeladd was the most interesting character in the show.
Anyone that likes a story well told can't hate on Vinland Saga, it's not easy to find that kind of writing in any form of media

That, I can totally understand. But my point is that both things can be true (good storytelling and people wanting other type of story from the show, regardless of how it's been told).I admit the story for Vinland is good
But this isn’t what we signed up for
That's true. I've purposely stayed away from the manga so I'm curious if this story continues to be compelling once we leave Ketil's farm. Is it worth continuing to follow Thorfinn after this? shyt, do we continue with Thorfinn or does the author jump into new characters and conflicts? I still wanna see Floki get gotIt's still up there in the Vikings stories I've watched and while I'm not a fan of pacifist protagonists I actually prefer this new Thorfinn over the screamo version we had last season. That said I'm not sure I can tolerate the MC having a no kill rule and using talk no jutsu for everything in this setting for long. He got hands but that's not enough
Honestly him getting punched 100 times was overdoing it. Like previously he was like fighting should be a last resort like against Snake. That was perfect for the idea of being a warrior. Being a warrior also means having respect for yourself. Show these vikings you the same Thorfinn physically despite being a changed man.It's still up there in the Vikings stories I've watched and while I'm not a fan of pacifist protagonists I actually prefer this new Thorfinn over the screamo version we had last season.

It's the main reason why I don't see myself waiting for the anime again and probably reading the mange not long after this season is over
okay
