Well they kind of have an unfair natural advantage, the geothermal output they use for energy is unequaled in comparison to any other country (when adjusted for population), so comparing programs and gdp and all that is kinda skewed in their favor.

It's great to see Amleth slowly realizing the rules of the game. He knows warfare, and excels at it. Eventually he knows its allowed to do just like he would on the battlefield and just batters his opponents into submission until the odds are as even as possible. Then he plays for the ball again, retaining his honor unlike The Mountain who goes out of his way to hurt the other players.
Yeah. I noticed. He learned the rules of the game. And didn't do anything more than necessary to win. He understood the difference between a game. And a battle. Didn't stop him from absolutely rekking the mountain tho.

Thanks. This was the scene I missed most of when I went to the bathroom and couldn't figure out why he was smashing a dude's face in with his forehead when I came back.
This is essentially quite close to Hurling, a sport more popular than soccer/football in their own country which is one of the very few countries in the world can claim, nearly every town in the country has a club or pitch dedicated to gaelic football or hurling
This movie was so manly I literally grew a full beard after watching this. This dude or the guy who played Reacher needs to be the live action He Man we deserve

You know, sports were invented so all your warriors wouldn't die during peace times. Even the gladiators used slaves so the armies wouldn't have casualties. Imagine showing up at the battlefield with another army and being like "We don't have enough men to fight. We played soccer yesterday. Can we do this another time?"
Looks to me a bit like Hurling.... a little more physical perhaps in that the stick can be used to hit your opponent as well as the ball. It would also appear that you can punch and kick your opponent. I'm sure that there must have been a few GAA matches in times past that have descended into something a little like this clip.
One thing I didn't like about this movie, was that how robotic Alex would stand and run. Like, look at this 0:48 😂. And when he runs 0:56. I don't know if this was intentional, (it probably was) because he's acting like a thrall.
@LandersWorkshop Many people have never seen Hurling because it was only shown in Ireland nationally, so it was a complete shock when it was shown in the UK, they never heard of the sport that's only across the Irish Sea, 15 player running around chasing a ball with hurls, so yes completely novel and strange thing to them
@@goldenghost2676 Exactly, I guess this dumb s*** takes movies too seriously and gets really offended when people write comments on TH-cam that he doesn't like. I usually don't write or respond like that but the way he replied was pretty rude
I hope more people end up feeling this way over time. This movie isn't for everyone, however it's a real gem and is easily the most authentic viking movie ever made.
