You took away the words from my mouth. The series was at its best when those two were reunited :DD

The story is a long chronicle and neither man was immortal

you are feeling exactly what you are supposed to since both of them are martyrs

Thank you

People that say that just can’t accept change apparently when one legend dies new ones are born

Athelstan is the only person who could have been a true friend to either. As men of power, Ragnar and Ecbert knew better than to put their trust in anyone, unless they happen to be as intelligent, as loyal, and as unambitious as Athelstan. They loved Athelstan for the same reason, he allowed them to be human for a brief time, for a while they could remove the mask of deceit and the heavy burden of leadership and talk as normal people, without having to politically calculate every little thing they say or do.

I think Ivar's relationship with Heathmund helps illustrate why Athelstan was so important. Now, their relationship was nothing compared to the Ragnar/Athelstan/Eckbert relationship, but Ivar admired Heathmund and tried to learn more of him because he wanted to believe that in a world so full of horror, there was at least someone who was at their core, nothing but noble. Heathmund was not the one. Athelstan was. Ivar wanted to admire Heathmund, and would have admired Athelstan, given the chance to know him well. Sometimes I wonder about the person Ivar could have become if Athelstan had been there to help raise him.

who wouldn't love him?

@@wafflingmean4477 Ivar only wanted to use him, he didnt try to learn from him at all. He is the exact opposite of ragnar and Athelstan relationship.

Rt Skaarup and noble women’s

I believe it is only in this moment and when his son confronted him that he showed his true emotions.

What's even more dope is knowing how much the actually got into the role

People tend to try and make it more complicated than it is, the three of them could understand each other and think on the same level and enjoyed being able to converse with each other while still concealing their plans but in a way more openly than they did with others. Just because Ragnar and Ecbert happened to be opposed didn't mean they didn't like each other.

Which hits you even harder when you remember Ecbert telling his son that he (Ecbert) doesn't have friends, that it's better that way. Ultimately he was right, his only friendship did ruin him.

Just his very first sentence in this clip "My dear friend, what are you talking about.." no one this drunk says this to someone without being fond of this person

That's what happens when you get drunk with an old friend.

Athelstan is to Ragnar what Baldr is to Odin

Yet the person responsible for Athelstan's death is largely unpunished thanks to the stupidity of Bjorn and the moral myopia of everyone around him.

It is sad that these themes were abandoned in seasons 5 and 6.

KristiinaBerg Without Ragnar and Ecbert there are no characters left who care to look deeper into their lives than simply conquering and gaining power. It’s still entertaining but scenes like the one in the video were what made this show truly great.

The most interesting thing to me is that Ragnar and Ecbert are shown as men ahead of their time.

@@mclovinjr9086 Technically, Largetha, Bjorne and the other son of Ragnar who was abandoned in the Saxon lands still had some level of philosophical questioning and curiousity.

I think because someone like athelstan is rarely to find, his trust on Ragnar never wanted a change. Not like floki and his brother. Easy to get jealous.

Through Athelstan, Ecbert was able to read about Julius Caesar and all the great Generals & Rulers of Rome. Stories and Philosophies. Athelstan became a better teacher than anyone Ecbert had learned from. And no matter the situation Athelstan was always in his faith.

Facts

Athelstan was the prettiest girl in the class, Ecbert and Ragnar were the cool kids fight over her affection!

"Which of them, Ragnar or Ecbert?" Yes

In different life, they would be best friends, fighting and thinking of new strategies etc..

I've had a realization like that

They weren't enemies. They were friends as they themselves know well.

Being enemies and being friends are two sides of the same coin. When you think of it that way, the notion of loving your enemy in Christianity doesn't seem so far fetched.

In this case, the enemy is your closest cousin and a part of your own past but you just forgot it with the centuries 🤔

We have to live with it.

And he's wrong

And if I kill your brother, I kill your brother. Is it still a simple answer?

@@Leesoldier12 Yes, the only thing that's complex is the response. The action is what it is.

Just saying : what if 2 + 2 =5 instead of 4 doesn't make that a good answer even if it's simple. What if there is smoke without fire? You can't just resolve the question by quitting the debate. Some answers are too hard to accept for some who then choose to abandon reason. It's very simple in philosophy to realize that a chain of infinite cause and effect can't exist. It needs a first cause that is not caused itself. But that is hard to accept for people who don't want a definitive answer.

gotta play by the rules.. that's honor..

You hope that friends will fight to the death? lol

I don’t, but yeah, it is amazing in this show.

Hope? It's just a show lol

Its the same with two fighters when you finish battering each other and fighting, you come to respect your enemy, you come to respect their hard work and their effort to beat you as they respect your effort to defeat them. It is truly one of the biggest tragedies in life, to find a friend in your opponent.

What is the name of the show please

@@layla8768 Vikings, series from history channel

I would not go that far but yeah its at the top of the list.

Rangar and Ecbert's dialogues are, at least for me, the best part of this show. That, and those wonderfully made death scenes.

“Who wants to be king” scene and Ragnar finally invading France where he stabs the guy in the throat are the best scenes.. ragnar’s younger days is where he had the best scenes

I agree, and I would go so far as to say this is one of the best scenes between two characters in any show(that I have seen). These two characters and actors have such power combined with the dialogue written. Yes, it's one of the greats, absolutely.

Ragnar's death speech might be my most rewatched scene.. this might be the best dialogue scene.. the first season is my favorite though, and contains a lot of fantastic moments.

why did he have to kill Ragnar? (I'm only watching glimpses and bits of Vikings since season 4-6 aren't on Netflix)

Æla swore vengeance for raiding Lindisfarn, a sacred monk village in his kingdom of Northumbria. That's why he was killed.

He either killed all the monks, or took them as slaves for sale, and looted all the metals, and valuables. And since he had developed a good friendship with Ecbert, he couldn't bring himself to execute someone he had a mutual respect for. So, since Ragnar had made his decision to die in England, he knew Æla would gain great pleasure from executing someone he hated more than anyone in the world at that point.

Oh, yeah, that's a spoiler, sorry. It's explained in the episode after this. Er, maybe it's at the end of it.

@@gagemead27 was king Aelle going to kill him if he didnt hand him over?

Brandon Hayes When about to agree on something, the Persians would do it once when sober, then get drunk and see if they still agree.

but you wouldn't remember what you've talked about, it would all be a blur.

Thats what alcohol does. It gets rid of the mask you hide behind day to day and reveals your genuine self. That can be either good or bad.

Yep. My favorite scene in the entire series so far.

Alex Rose because they killed all three of their best characters, who formed a triumvirate of conflicting ideas and philosophies, and the world left behind after them feels hollow by comparison.

Because the awards are bought and paid for like everything else? Just a guess, but if GoT was on history channel and Vikings was on HBO, Vikings would get all the attention.

Naw, more like the fact that it panders to a demographic that is 102% sure there is a God and would not tolerate the dialogue heard in this scene. Also, Putting Pagan Gods in a good light is a big no no in the western world.

Because this scene is one of the few scenes that is actually good. Most of S4 and S5 is full of filler episodes now.

Calling people "stupids" and "fucing"? My little 9 year old niece has better grammar than you do. You like calling people names? Do you enjoy doing that behind your keyboard?LOOOOL . WTF is your major malfunction?

lthough Ecbert is essentially a great actor, as it's been established from before, I think he was being genuine here. I think he really does respect Ragnar as an equal, and really sees him as someone who's the exact same like him, but just from a different part of the world. Which means he also knows how dangerous he is and why he needs to die.

@@the_jurny3442 😂 thank you

They say that the greatest of enemies know more about each other then any family member or friend of theirs could ever know.

I think their friendship was genuine and deep, but as it has been shown, as a ruler you are alone. You can't let people close because they will take advantage of it. Being a king is lonely and difficult. Ragnar and Ecbert understood each other, and better yet, understood why they had to do what they did. When Ecbert had the settlement destroyed, he did it for his own political reasons, not out of spite for Ragnar. When Ragnar counterattacked years later, he did it because his people would never allow Ecbert to get away with it, and if he didn't, by extension, his family would be in danger. Ecbert gave East Anglia to the vikings under false pretenses not for himself, but for his people. Aethelwulf told Ecbert during their conversation that he had stopped acting like a king, and I think the true moment he failed to act as a king was when he refused to kill Ragnar, who played his role up until the very end. It really is heartbreaking to think about. There's a quote I remember vaguely told by a World War II veteran who said something to the effect of "The enemies we fought against may well have been my closest friends if we were in a different time." I think the same applies to Ragnar and Ecbert.

Beautifully put

No. Ragnar does whatever is needed to be done in order to achieve his goals, top dog or not; its only a plus to come out as top dog for him. Ragnar wanted alliances first and foremost, along with prosperity and peace. Ecbert will *tolerate* alliances so long as he is initially guaranteed more prestige fame, and power. When Lagertha and Athelstan rejected him, that did not sit well with his ego and, in turn, made him show how much he really cared about "peace" and "alliances"

not true.. ragnar never wanted nothing but be a farmer.. he hated ruling from the beginning

Travis is imo one of the best actors in history and i mean it. Just look and listen to Travis the actor and then compare him to Ragnar the character, there's nothing further from Ragnar than Travis, they are two very very different person, and that's not something i see everyday. Travis (with the aid of the directors) created a whole new person/character: Ragnar.

Origami Maker I'm sure there were many like him in those days, but they obviously couldn't talk about it. Even kings didn't get the chance. Which is one of the reasons he enjoyed Ragnar's company so much.

That’s the point, Ecbert chose to defy religion and look deeper to other civilizations such as the Romans, and preserved their writings and knowledge. Most Christians of the time were arrogant and thought only Christianity had all the answers. Ecbert acknowledged that pagans were also intellectuals in their own right (instead of the ignorant savages most believed them to be at the time), their gods allowed them to rule the world at one point and expanded his knowledge, thinking outside the box and thus got to be far ahead of his time.

Origami Maker that's why they connect both of them are ahead of their time by centuries

There have always been people like him, there’s stories of people who we would call atheists travelling the Middle East around the inception of Islam and before it. People have always questioned gods and deities, just not as openly as they can today

During that time, many cultures tried to preserve the ancient wisdom of Greeks and Romans, Byzantine scholars copied texts of Aristotle and other philosophers, Irish, Scottish and British monks in monasteries kept copies of Roman textbooks as the series implies and Islamic scribes in Spain and North Africa also preserved parts of ancinet wisdom, but mostly the ones that suited their religious beliefs

I just goes to show you that treating even the most *evil* people you can think of as fellow humans can give insights to the ways their minds work and ways to get through to them. Such relationships between polar opposites are possible for incredibly objective and mature people and have the potential to make a huge impact.

No. No they can't. This fantasy. Not real life.

@@jacobberry5138 king lionheart and saladin had a bromance. so you are wrong there pal

Jacob Berry Depends on who you are. Someone like Ragnar, if he found someone else who was just like him, they would clash. Both him and Ecbert are way too “alpha” and confrontational, so if they found kindred spirits, they would only be opposing forces. But that doesn’t mean they don’t respect each other, Ecbert even is shown to grieve more than most for Ragnar’s death, mostly because he couldn’t do anything about it, unlike the Ragnarsons.

they weren't enemies tho

Athelstan is the only person on the show who has some legitimate reason to believe in both Christianity and Paganism. Odin's ravens openly watch him, and yet he also receives the stigmata of Christ. No wonder his soul was so tortured when he was alive.

@oldedude51 Very well said!

@oldedude51 I am grateful to read your comment

oldedude51 I think that’s a strange thing to say about Ragnar when Season 2 proved just how loyal Ragnar’s followers were. Even when King Horik tried to undermine and then kill Ragnar, none of Ragnar’s household turned traitor. Floki and Siggy both played double agent perfectly, with nothing seemingly to gain from staying loyal to Ragnar. Ragnar never gave Floki due credit for saving his life and sheltering him when Haraldson wanted him dead, helping him against Horik after playing a long con for months where even his wife was in the dark. All of it in favour of this random priest? I don’t agree with Floki’s actions against Athelstan but I could totally see where he was coming from. That’s why it means so much when Ragnar finally tells Floki that he loves him.

oldedude51 I think this hits it perfectly.

@SamGaudet Totally agreed. Well I woudn't say because of Ivar, maybe because Bjorn, and yeah, a little for their half-brothers, but all of them. But yeah, certainly because of Lagertha and Floki. Without Ragnar kinda everything has lost interest.

I only watch it STILL because of Ragnar (RIP Althestan🙏). Sadly, it sucks in comparison w out him...and it’s pretty obnoxious watching his sons (all of whom, ironically, have more acting experience than Travis...) “develop” their leading roles by stealing the various personal touches Travis added (e.g. mannerisms, idiosyncrasies) to his own character. Bjorn is the most guilty, while Ivar and Ubba seem to force it less...allowing dna and parenting to explain their more subtle “Ragnarisms.” I think Alfred will have to carry much of the weight from here out...and may surprise folks.

Despite the fact it has gods turning up.

Maybe because most of them can't bare the fact that there isn't only 1 God 😌

@@Snake616 wdym fact?

@@kelman727 Only Odin did.

I think their rivalry is mostly because they're so similar. They are the same in different parts of the world. A rivalry would always happen because one would need to be on the top.

Hollowwsstory Two men two kings bonded by their love for a brother. Once this brother died the two had nothing but each other but we're so similar they are polar opposites one a king of raiders and pagan folk the other a king of knights and Christians. Both know what has to happen but neither want it to happen for they love each other and killing one would be like the other killing a part of himself. It's the ultimate paradox both want peace yet both want to fight. Like two sides of the same coin no matter how you look at it you know the other side is there until it gets cut in the middle and now the coin is half of what it should be and the men by comparison are now half of what they were.

Good catch, they do it when they first meet also. When they are facing each other in Ecbert's bath.

To me this scene meant the visual representation of Odin and the Lord God having a conversation as equals. Over the love and loyalty from a truly good, loving man who was never afraid to accept new answers to a very ancient questions. Athelstan.

I believe that they were not rivals, they were just lived in positions that made them that way, and the positions they lived in shaped them and defined them in such a way, that only by finding someone burdened by the same burdens could make true friendship emerge. It's like a sphynx riddle: "What does a man see all the time, a king almost never sees, and a god never sees? The answer is: An equal." They, as kings, and brilliant minds, must have never been able to find someone in their lifetimes that could communicate with them in the same level. I believe this is why they are true friends, and somehow "exactly the same at once"

Yo, for real, be a writer

And he actually makes sense. What makes life enjoyable and worth living is conflict and struggle, facing a difficult problem and solving it. Valhalla makes much more sense from a human nature point of view, because it’s precisely about facing challenges. Heaven on the other hand sounds like the most depressing shit ever.

@@Gaboxxy96 i get your point and totally respect it. But as a Christian i must say, we believe that human nature will be changed once the world we know comes to an end. Therefore, with our new nature, sufferings and challenges will not be needed anymore, our satisfactions will no longer come from overcoming difficult times because there will be a constancy of peace and joy that will not appeal to be boring, but fully what our souls need.

@@Espectro-mundial So why all the suffering then? What’s the point? I’m sure a lot of people will say it's a test. But the mistakes of a mortal life would carry eternal punishment or reward? It doesn’t make sense to me. The heavens and hells of all religions are human inventions in my opinion. Fear of facing death, of physical disappearance, of facing the mysterious abyss that life is. Obviously with all due respect for your beliefs as well.

We believe that when God created us, he didn't want us to be robots simply following what he says, he wanted to have a genuine connection , a relation of friendship with us. That's why he gave us free will, so we can choose to be with him ( or not) for ourselves, but this comes with a huge price to pay. It's honestly hard to watch the news for more than five minutes considering the amount of tragedy and horrible things that happen. It's mind-blowing that in the same neighborhood, same street, you can find people spending millions of dollars in paintings and famous objects and you can find people asking for money , not having enough to eat. And that goes for everyone as well. We lie and deceive, and act selfish even towards people we love, unfortunately we have the tendency to hurt one another. The Bible constantly asks us to put ourselves in other people's shoes and if we did, the world would be a much better place. According to the Bible, God is waiting for everyone to have the opportunity to make a choice before changing this world for good by creating a new ( and eternal) one. Everyone will respond according to what they did in life, that's why is so important to live every day trying to make it better than yesterday, because everyday is an opportunity we have to act with love and kindness, as we are asked to. I hope I explained well how we Christian see it :)

I wonder how many people back in deep past were talking among themselves in dark corridors about it.

At the end of rangar death scene ragner accepted own religious

I'm not sure, if he sticked with his Viking's religion, of course he was talking about entering Valhala, but I think it was only a put on to screw with Christians. Remember, Rangar questioned The Seer. Athelstan had a huge impact on Rangar, and Ragnar was smart enough to question both religions.

On this scene you're right but next scene, when Ragnar is taken to be killed, he's talked to The Seer and realize own religious but religious true or false we dont know

In comparison to Game of Thrones, Marvel, and other shows this show in comparison is incredibly marginal in comparison, and hence the usage of the phrase. Get a life

or to hide those answers.

Sverd of Vik what the fuck

All Father but how does all these creations come to be. There must be a creator.

Exactly right. Amazing this man could see that at a time before science had dismissed most of the bullshit in the Bible and all of the pagean god's. This man died an atheist in the 800s!

science had not dismissed anything from Bible. Are you ignorant?

they kind of were friends. Kind of...

Their mutual respect for each other was great though

This statement reminded me of the real Shifty Powers saying this in band of brothers interview scenes

@@ajinkyamusician where i got it from actually. Shifty powers had a good head on his shoulders really.

i finished this less than a week

Hmm..I once thought that too.

Pretty sure every believer in gods believes that on some level. They believe Gods give human life purpose, meaning, order, and morality. Without Gods, they believe all that goes away which is intolerable to them. So even if they agree Gods might not be real, they'd believe they were anyway.

We don't know why ppl don't do things. The idea is that ppl need God or Gods, so they keep a sense of order. When order doesn't exist, the only thing left is power. Order gives structure & eventually ability to build; it's what civilizations are built upon. We're seeing life lose structure by way of loss of that order. Whether this is fully true or not, only time will tell.

It's actually still pretty good. The warrior bishop and Ivar have great on screen chemistry, as well as the development of Alfred's character. It's getting better as it goes, too.

@@timothyfreeman97 yeah but it has already reached its peak

Eh they're okay but they definitely peaked with these two. I think the quality of writing more than anything has fallen off and these weird half seasons are hurting too. The Great Heathen army plot was rushed as hell.

I'm just happy they actually killed Ragnar giving him a fitting end rather than dragging it on. One of the best arcs in any show ever. Show is still good and has some great moments but of course you'll never replace greats like these two.

No it didnt go downhill,sure it wont be the same after ragnar and ecbert because these two were completely different from everyone around them but ivar is enough to carry the show and we still have lagertha bjorn floki and rollo also heahmund has become one of my favs
