@Manu4evr 0001 20 iron age years at that. But still its mostly cosmetic appeances and acting, Travis Fimmel shaved bald and had some grey make-up touches to his beard in later seasons. He speaks in more of a winded whisper of a voice and moves slower (not surprising with how he keeps stacking injuries). All of those details add up to create a more aged impression. Compare that to characters like Lagerta or Floki who dont seem to have aged a day since season 1. Then somewhere along the line he picked up this weird Gangsta Lean, which i dont quite know what its about. But it seems to suit the character of Old Ragnar, so i like it. 😂🤣
@@Wavemaninawe i know im late but lagertha defenetly ages too and mostly after ragnars death. Floki also becomes more calm and loses his mind after all his loved ones died
@@lukas6610 Those points were made. Lagertha was hit really hard by Ragnars death. Those two never stopped loving each other despite everything. And losing a child is brutal. So it made sense for Floki to be even more unhinged than usual. Both of them seem more toned down and weary in latter seasons. But i dont think there was a convincing portrayal of them physically aging all that much.
Hence why Ragnar was so hyped about killing the English and French and stealing their shiny bits. Everyone they raided in the East had already fought them for so long that they were practically the same.
That and mobility and relative skill. The Vikings could hit wherever they wanted along the coastline, and all the raiders were professional warriors while the Balts could wind up facing them with whatever mob of dudes they happened to have on hand. Sometimes real soldiers who were just as skilled, sometimes angry half-Slav farmers with axes and scythes.
Starts with the fight on the Eastern Baltic, with grim weather and one of characters sees Odin Ends with peaceful talk on the North America's beach, with pleasing sunset and characters are questioning existence of gods Such a poetic :D
Love how this opening scene sets up so much of the rest of the series. How much tougher the warriors to the East were compared to the West. The endless futility of going East and how a vision sets Ragnar to go West.
Danblukk well yeah he was shocked by Rollo's actions and treason which made him lose concentration. The she started giving him some drug which made him worse
Notice how, at 1:39, Rollo drops to his knees and Ragnar places his hand on Rollo's head? I think that foreshadows Ragnar's superiority later in the series.
+APB904 wow never thought of it like that nice. vikings is like another version of game of thrones more than 1 storyline in series and they converge into one big story that connects

Lamb is ironically an old norse word. gets more ironic when people say "heavenly father" like uhh... you know the word father is old norse for... father!
I've watched that back about 7 times and can't stop laughing. He saves his own ass from a dragon shout literally at the last milisecond… “Fus Ro D--AAARRRGHHH”
0:46 he says mirsti cūka, translated from Latvian (Baltic state) means die pig. At 0:58 he says uzbrūk... and does not get to say till end. But it means somewhat like attack.
Pali142 I know bro!! Travis fits perfectly in Warcraft with the look/beard and all and I think he has some great acting chops!! Got a feeling it'll be an epic movie. Scared it'll be bunk too though. Damn near every Blizzard cgi cutscene I've watched has been awesome so hopefully they can execute it well.
Vikings is the first show I ever began to watch apart from MCU Shows (Marvel.) At that time, I had just gotten Netflix, and yes this was my first show (I was all for movies, not shows.) Saw Vikings Valhalla releasing soon, did a bit of research, and found out it was a sequel to a 80+ episode, 6 season show. This scene shocked me at first, and I wasn't too sure on what I was watching. Little did I know, it would go on to become one of my most treasured watching experiences. Pure beautiful. Thank you Vikings. Thank you Ragnar.
TheEdog2 True. Every season becomes more serious. While watching 1st season,i had emotianal rollercoasters,was always like "aw hell no,not him!" ,just watched whole season 3,was like "ah,k".
Yeah latest episodes are so much different now - it seems like the producers are trying to prolong Ragnars story when it should had been over long time ago, but I dont blame them since hes the main character and the soul of Vikings - killing him off would mean killing off the series. I still like it though but the feel is different can't really explain lol
+Juozapas Špokas Travis Fimmel already said in an interview that he would have to bite the bullet and let the other casts take over after he and Rollo are killed off. This series will have a minimum of sevenor eight seasons. Just wait and see how much better it gets. Bjorn and Ivar are about to be the center pieces. Fimmel and Standon have more to do in their careers. Cheers to them both. Ragnar will be killed by the end of this, or by early to mid next season.
Ivar was so annoying, the show runners didn't know what to do with his character, if he were bad or good, that affair with the Russ' girl was ridiculous, I wanted to ser him being wicked in Ireland, but the script ruined him.
I hope they release like a directors cut of the whole show once it finishes. Every added bit included haha. I would have also liked to have seen more berserkers and stuff!
+El Manana I feel as if Season One felt a lot deeper, as it is a made up story. The later seasons are mostly true, so they are focusing more on the historical aspect rather than those that drive the story.
Agreed. S1 Ep 8 'Sacrifice' was the high water mark. It got camp and silly after that. US TV needs to sort its shit out and realize the hard core fans are always worth 50, 000 casuals.
My guesses is that they thought they had to try harder with the fight Scenes because They didn’t had the budget. The first to seasons hat better movements, good strategy, and a moving camera. In season 3 to present they have less intense movements, basic battle tactics, and a still camera because they think that bigger battles makes things more epic. I really really really miss the smaller Skirmishes this show had. They were so well done and existing . Now we have generic everyday movie battles
If Rollo had stayed loyal to Ragnar just think how Much stronger Ragnar would have been, along with his army and hierarchy, coz Rollo was an animal no mistake.
That 1st kill is insanely skillful, he disarms the man after a tense melee and kills him perfectly as it falls into his hands and KILLS THAT MAN WITH HIS OWN SWORD!
Now I know why Ragnar wanted to sail west instead. Balts too fucking tough. And poor. Think about it looks like he and Rollo are the only Vikings who survived that battle.
I come here every time after: **SPOILERS** - Ragnar gets thrown in the pit - Lagertha joins Ragnar in Valhalla - Bjoern gets stabbed by Ivar love this series so much!
most amazing show ever made. please never stop filming and u don't have to kill Ragnar yet! for real just slow the timeline way down Bjorn can't hold the show on his own. athelstien was to much
I dont get it.. later on in the show he stops believing that there are no gods.. but yet he sees odin here and the valkieries carrying the dead up to Valhalla with his own eyes
Yeas Curonian spit this is the place where Vikings came to die. No, he sad "uzbru - kums" in Latvian it mean - attack. There is a funny thing about it. The Vikings not particularly wanted to go to Baltics because there they meet theyre death on a regular basis. Native Baltic tribes where to hard to crack for Vikings in a particular course, there is no remains of a Viking settlement found. There are only a few rune stones on which is written God Save us from the Curonians.
Was? They still live there. The exect tribe you se is Curonians or Currs.They live in Latvia region cold Kurland (or Kursa Kurzeme) . Balt tribes now live where they live since ice age in Latvia and Lithuania except old Prussian tribes like ,Pomesanians, Warmians ,Pogesanians, Natangians, Sambians, Nadruvia ,Bartians ,Skalvians, Sudovians,Yotvingians, Galindians. They asimilated with now day Lithuanian baltic tribes and Latvian folk ..
okej, låt som tjoller i mina öron. there is no tribes now.. i mean so does the swedes has tribes, but they are regions and citys now. exuse my english.
No wonder Ragnar was pushing the King to head west and look for loot. The Balts were as tough as the Vikings and just as poor. Notice only Ragnar and Rollo are left.

After 4 seasons, I must say... This is one of the best scenes of the whole show. So much atmosphere.
I agree with you this scene is just amazing
Final season and it's still 1 of the best!
Where was this scene I didn't saw it.. exept episode 1
@@thakrratul1109 episode 1, 1st scene
Yea i also stop at season 4 because 5 and 6.. Well i don't know why his children turned against each other
Crazy how much older Ubbe looks like Ragnar at the beginning of the show
Whoever casted that deserves a raise
I knooooow riiiiiight
I believe that Ivar looks more in terms of behaviour and eyes rolls, but yes, Ubba looks like him physically.
Raiding the eastern baltic looks like a real shitty summer job.
Hence why Ragnar was so hyped about killing the English and French and stealing their shiny bits. Everyone they raided in the East had already fought them for so long that they were practically the same.
The Balts were even bigger and nastier pagans than the Northmen. They simply lacked numbers.
That and mobility and relative skill. The Vikings could hit wherever they wanted along the coastline, and all the raiders were professional warriors while the Balts could wind up facing them with whatever mob of dudes they happened to have on hand.

hydraloveingman1
half-slav? Balts were not Slavs. And neither are they today.
Lachausis You could say Balts were / are Balts.
Yeah, if you ever wanted to open up a show called Vikings, you'd pretty much do it like this.
those days when ragnar and rollo used to be good brothers :'(
They were never good brothers! Rollo always envied and disrespected him! Also never trusted him!!
Didn't Rollo bang/rape ragnars wife in episode one? Great brother.
Two people who historically never lived in the same time period and were never brothers
times when vikings was good
Yea :(
Starts with the fight on the Eastern Baltic, with grim weather and one of characters sees Odin
Ends with peaceful talk on the North America's beach, with pleasing sunset and characters are questioning existence of gods
Such a poetic :D
I love how Rollo flops into the grass like 'i need a nap after all of that'.
I would too!!
This show has really gotten me through a tough time. Thank you Vikings for leading me through my life.
What tough time did this show help you get through?
I feel you bro, really.
@@theintrovertedaspie9095 everyone goes through different tough times, this show also got me through a lot and ill be forever grateful
Love how this opening scene sets up so much of the rest of the series. How much tougher the warriors to the East were compared to the West. The endless futility of going East and how a vision sets Ragnar to go West.
0:17 *Lagertha was right. Ubbe looks just like young Ragnar.*
Yup
Ragnar was hardcore here, he went weird towards the end.
Danblukk it's because of the weed the bitch gave him
I reckon it started before then, when he lost the france battle and nearly died,its like he lost his hunger for battle.
Danblukk well yeah he was shocked by Rollo's actions and treason which made him lose concentration. The she started giving him some drug which made him worse
lol not weed, opium
feeltheillinois well you got the point 😂😂😂
How it all began! Incredible!
Not a phone in sight. Just people living in the moment.
Notice how, at 1:39, Rollo drops to his knees and Ragnar places his hand on Rollo's head? I think that foreshadows Ragnar's superiority later in the series.
+APB904
Also, when they hug, Rollo has his knife behind Ragnar's back - perfect position for stabbing.
+APB904 wow never thought of it like that nice. vikings is like another version of game of thrones more than 1 storyline in series and they converge into one big story that connects
Ironically Rollo gets the better deal
An evil omen indeed :)
I don't think that was intended by show runners..
Damn, even Gandalf made an appearance.
Haha yeah.

Rather a Wolf of Odin than a Lamb of God.

Lamb is ironically an old norse word. gets more ironic when people say "heavenly father" like uhh... you know the word father is old norse for... father!
Hooked on the 1st scene, with Odin walking among fallen warriors..
friend, foe. The Allfather cares not. He who proves himself worthy will have a seat with the Allfather, for the Final Battle. For Ragnarok.
much wow
I was sold on Vikings from this one scene at how good the action was and I’ve never looked back!
Odin, the All-Father, walking amongst dead warriors...
as is His way. The Allfather sees all, and knows all.
always... it'll be
All in a day's work.
haardvark pays off
"It will be at least another day before I am put to death, you and your gods are wrong..."
0:58 was that guy just about to say, "Fus Ro Dah?"
I've watched that back about 7 times and can't stop laughing. He saves his own ass from a dragon shout literally at the last milisecond…
“Fus Ro D--AAARRRGHHH”
Yeah man he just said "Fus Ro.." Hahaha
Hahaha
0:46 he says mirsti cūka, translated from Latvian (Baltic state) means die pig. At 0:58 he says uzbrūk... and does not get to say till end. But it means somewhat like attack.
Luckly Ragnar kill him before he could finish.
Dude this show sooo needs to get more popularity!!! I don't want it cancelled after 3 seasons!!!
They renewed it for a fourth season so you have no worries there.
Johnny Sahn there is no way they cancel this, they have break because the guy who plays ragnar is working on the Warcraft movie atm
Pali142 I know bro!! Travis fits perfectly in Warcraft with the look/beard and all and I think he has some great acting chops!! Got a feeling it'll be an epic movie. Scared it'll be bunk too though.

+Pali142 wich is much more important btw, Warcraft is gonna be epic, it has to be they've talking about making it since vanilla

00:40 is when i fell in love with that show. That was fucking brutal.
Just finished the whole series today after season 6B, and it's insane how it started and how it ended!!!!
still hooked on this show😂😂

Man i wish we could have seen more of these Baltic Tribes like the Kurs and Ests
2:41 You can see Hræsvelgr, the giant who takes the form of a bird in the realm of the dead.
I love it!
Throughout time, soldiers and warriors have seen strange things on the battlefield. It happens to this day
Yeah during the Vietnam war soldiers reported seeing a lot of weird things.
They need to add more of this kind of mythological stuff back in. Season 2 hardly had any and season 3 hasn't had any yet.
xyang26 That came after I typed this. But yay it's exciting.

iRage4you i don't watch the show anymore. I don't like it.

the way he says odin is awesome
The first scene of Vikings and simultaneously the best scene!
The best first scene of any show I've watched!
0:36 That was undoubtedly the best kill in the whole show.
i think vikings is better than game of thrones
Ikr
Thank god no vikings in the show are homosexuals. thats a plus
APB904 Have you ever heard of deph and world building?
I also think Vikings as a show is better than GOT, but ASOIAF books are simply incredible
Dont wanna.be.like.that show blaxk.sails.where the main guy tirns.I.to.a homosexual
ron goldman Not Even Close
I think Ragnar might of been a few mushrooms off camera when Odin showed up lol
Don't forget the valkeryies
Rollo was a beast. One misses those simple days..
And one of the greatest TV series began.
When Vikings is about vikings, and not a game of thrones stepson....
great scene. shame the they changed the tone of the show so much in later seasons.
Yeah, as cool as it is that the culture expanded and was explored, there was a certain beauty and mysticism in the early seasons
same :(
Ragnar forsaw his death when he saw the crow in the first episode. He knew his death would come and unite him with the Norse gods
the ex rollo tossed to help Ragnar is about the last time he helped his brother without any other hidden motive.
''Eastern Baltic, 793 AD'. Thunderbolt Strike !
Best Starting of all series.
We love this series and hope it never ends!
The beginning of the legend....

I remember watching this for first time.. now everything is different

The good ole days❤😭
I hope they release like a directors cut of the whole show once it finishes. Every added bit included haha. I would have also liked to have seen more berserkers and stuff!
all hail King Ragnar!!!!!! this is highly watched and rated in Australia!
It's cuz Travis is aussie
This was the scene that got me hooked into the viking series
I've watched this first episode with my mom. After the last scene she told me it was boring and 0% moments that she liked. I live on my own now.
It only took this scene to have me hooked!
Pamiętam- to było piękne...
Dude that got hit with the Spear shuda snaked his way thru that grass lmao
Budget got better, battles bigger, but everything else worse..
Truee and that they kill every character which gets introduced
same :(
This seen is awsome beautiful fighting style
Agree
It's not really a fighting style, more like a choreography.
Thanks for uploading this scene, and doing it well.
POV: you just started watching an epic tv show
Such a beautiful scene.
THIS SHOW IS SO FUCKING GOOD
something happened to vikings after season 1 ...the appeal of the series is different season one is better..
+El Manana I feel as if Season One felt a lot deeper, as it is a made up story. The later seasons are mostly true, so they are focusing more on the historical aspect rather than those that drive the story.
same thing with Sons of anarchy & Spartacus. It seemed like it had a political agenda. turned me off
Agreed. S1 Ep 8 'Sacrifice' was the high water mark. It got camp and silly after that.
US TV needs to sort its shit out and realize the hard core fans are always worth 50, 000 casuals.
The legend begins...
The one constant here is just how fucking blue Travis Fimmel's eyes are. They really stand out throughout the entire scene.
Why is this so much better than the fights in the latest seasons?
My guesses is that they thought they had to try harder with the fight Scenes because They didn’t had the budget. The first to seasons hat better movements, good strategy, and a moving camera. In season 3 to present they have less intense movements, basic battle tactics, and a still camera because they think that bigger battles makes things more epic. I really really really miss the smaller Skirmishes this show had. They were so well done and existing . Now we have generic everyday movie battles
The 2 noob's when all the team die: 1:32
The 2 noob's after all the team die: 0:20
If Rollo had stayed loyal to Ragnar just think how
Much stronger Ragnar would have been, along with his army and hierarchy, coz Rollo was an animal no mistake.
That 1st kill is insanely skillful, he disarms the man after a tense melee and kills him perfectly as it falls into his hands and KILLS THAT MAN WITH HIS OWN SWORD!
Now I know why Ragnar wanted to sail west instead. Balts too fucking tough. And poor. Think about it looks like he and Rollo are the only Vikings who survived that battle.
I always wondered how they were the only one who survived like who were their friends, and were are ragnars parents?
I come here every time after:
**SPOILERS**
- Ragnar gets thrown in the pit
- Lagertha joins Ragnar in Valhalla
- Bjoern gets stabbed by Ivar
love this series so much!
After watching all seasons, I felt good seeing both brother fight together 💜
Close your eyes for a moment, and you could be watching the women's singles at any Grand Slam tournament.
