    I remember your old video on Vinland Saga and I will say this again here. Vinland Saga is truly one of a kind, its hard to find anime that manage to do what Vinland Saga does. The violence and animation are great but it comes down to characters like Thorfinn and Asekladd, that make the series all the more better.

      As an Icelander who studied the sagas in school and on my own. This is one of the most accurate presentations of the sagas. the only Hollywood movie that is as accurate is The Northman mostly thanks to the director assigning the Icelandic historian and artist Sjón to co-write the script.

    I was a pretty big fan of the first season of Vinland Saga, but it always felt like it was following a shonen character through a seinin world and, practically all the way to the end, Thorfinn maintained that role without showing much in the way of growth. I loved Askeladd, and while I enjoyed watching Thorfinn, I can't say he stood as much more than a vehicle for vengeance who lost his opportunity in the end.
    S2 showed the kind of growth in his character that I was looking for and the slower pacing allowed his development to build out more organically. Einar was a strong complement to him, representing both the people that he slaughtered during his blind rage (his past) and the peaceful life that he started out seeking aimlessly (gaining experience through the work on the farm) and eventually chose as his path forward (founding a peaceful society in Vinland). I also love that, while Canute stood in stark contrast to the pacifistic life he was developing, his confrontation with him wasn't what solidified his path forward. Instead, it became a demonstration of his resolve, one so powerful that it moved a man who had done his best to eschew his humanity not to anguish or fear, but to laughter. He evoked a strong positive emotion from one who had forgotten what it was like to feel that in pursuit of power.
    It also helped that this season had some of the best single episodes of any anime I've seen in recent memory, particularly Oath and Way Home. So, yeah, big fan of S1, bigger fan of S2. Great video.

    Thorfinn wasnt captured and sold to slavery, he was sentenced after harming royal blood. (Canute) sorry to be a nerd but i think this completely changes things. The person who took his goal, who was a guy who never was a warrior before being soft, showed him mercy and kept him living. Allowing a life were he wallows in his anguish. This is such good writing. Liked season 2 just wanted more combat, but it wasnt meant to be that way which i get.

    Thorfinn lived off his hatred alone for Askeladd for so long, that when Askeladd died and his opportunity of revenge was robbed from him, Thorfinn in a way lost his purpose. He became an empty man. He at that point no longer had a reason to live. And his dreams show his internalize regret and PTSD he suffered in silence but now it's coming full circle in season 2. Thorfinn in season 1 pushed that down , but now he faces his PTSD and has no choice but to come confront it in season 2.

    it's not even the fault of those people who abandon Vinland Saga because "it gets boring" or "Thorfinn became soft and weak". the glorification of violence in media since ever is the fault, even the Season 1. Sure from Season 1 it's still a commentary about violence is bad, but truth be told the violence there is pretty cool. Thorkell vs Thorfinn is cool, Thorfinn killing all the soldiers is cool, all the atrocities Askellad did is very scary, but Askellad himself is cool.
    so it's okay if people thinks S2 is bad because they abandon the violence, because we so used to violence being cool in media (movie, series, game, book, etc) so a full season of commentary about a person who went on violence rampage his whole life realizing his deeds is wrong and went searching for forgiveness is not everyone cup of tea.
    but man i love season 2. it's my personal opinion but Vinland Saga is my favorite media ever. it's kinda biased opinion, but that's what opinion is. it touches my heart and all the messages it trying to deliver resonate with me fully. i love all the character and the best part is everyone in this story felt like a real person, who you can talk to and have a conversation with.
    sorry for the long comment, but for those who still want to give S2 a chance and be open minded about it, i'm sure it'll be an experience you will never forget.

    I'mma get this out of the way, being a hero has nothing to do with morality. A hero is someone who has a purpose greater than oneself. So when Thorfinn finally makes the decision to find Vinland, that is when he became a true hero (true warrior), same with Canute wanting to create paradise on earth, it makes him the villain to the perspective of those he prosecutes, but he's still a hero nonetheless no matter the morality of his actions.

    Watching Thorfinn admit to himself and Einar that the thing that’d kept him alive all those years was not his will to survive, not his desire to go home, not even the memories of his father, but his raw VITRIOL for Askeladd was for me the most shocking moment in the whole two seasons. It takes some massive introspection and humility to admit out loud that you’ve basically thrown your life away being an evil person, yet choosing to live to make things right, *despite* it being practically impossible. I’ve never seen an anime character take such a drastic 180 and still feel like a genuine human being, I’m nothing short of inspired by Vinland Saga.

    Also in the latter half of epsiode 4 of Vinland Saga, was very powerful, deep and heart wrenching. Seeing both characters affected by war and violence but in different ways and different circumstances collide . I think Thorfinn being confronted by his past was very important and having Einar there is internal. Einar ultimately forgives Thorfinn and reminds him that we are alive because someone kept us alive, and that Thorfinn shouldn't throw his life away so carelessly, no matter the hardships. Because despite the suffering and brutality the world brings, there is beauty to be found in living . In Einar's own way, I think he was trying to tell Thorfinn he deserves to live , despite his past mistakes and sins . This in a way inspires Thorfinn to try and get to Vinland to create a place without the threat of violence or slavery .

    Because he let his vengeance and haterd consume him, he never was able to move forward, never able to grow , never able to change . That's why Thorfinn's growth and change in season 2 is so powerful.

    To be fair.... ALL that vinland proves is.... Modern anime/manga lost its touch, they just can't come up with deep genuine writing as much as they did in the past cause VINLAND came out in 2005 (manga), but its just SLOW to get an anime. in fact, the anime after 2 seasons, is already 8 years worth of the manga AKA end of S2 was where the manga is in 2013. And one thing I noticed is any manga from pre-2010s or even 2000s are good, but newer ones are rarely on the same level.
    Which is why for many years I argued that post-2010s anime tends to lose its touch lately across the board, focusing too much on animation and foreigner expectations rather than what anime and manga really known for.

    Vinland Saga is one of the best gateway anime in years. So many anime fall into common tropes that have come to define the medium as a whole, but Vinland Saga is like the anime equivalent of a historical drama like Lawrence of Arabia or Seven Samurai. The anime is full great storytelling, dialogue, and acting in both sub and dub.

  • @foregroundeclipse8725
    @foregroundeclipse8725 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What makes Vinland Saga so compelling is seeing a character, who's trying to go a different path to only fight to protect and use self defense without killing anyone . Trying to create instead of destroying. The world Thorfinn resides in is consumed by violence and romanrizes violence . It's glorified . He tries to atone and become a better man. An interesting juxtaposition from a brutal viking in the past, to a more kind and compassionate protagonist. He learns of truth and seeks to create a place without the threat of violence or slavery. The point of Vinland Saga is to get to Vinland and to create . But it's not easy . Thorfinn gets more scars when he dosen't kill, but he still hopes to find another alternative than to kill. People still die in this world . Which makes Thorfinn's journey very difficult . The point isn't to save the world from all violence, it's trying to battle with the idea of violence and living a different way than what is expected of you in viking society. Thorfinn dosen't want to hurt anyone or have others suffer as he did . That's why Thorfinn tries so hard not to kill. He uses the skills he learned from war , as a means to incompasiate one's who direct violence at him or those around him without killing . To save a live and to defend his own life.

    Also I never thought Thorfinn was necessarily being selfish in season 2, selfish wouldn't be the word I'd use. I feel in the beginning he was drowning with his guilt without doing anything about it. By the end of season 2 Thorfinn works towards atonement. And hopefully if we get a season 3&4 , we will see the full lengths Thorfinn goses to, to try and atone.

      During the four year time skip, While all the others were learning about the world and people around them, Eren was in psychological isolation.
      This is where the question of freedom comes into play.
      Eren's journey shifted from seeking freedom to being enslaved by fate. He had forsaken his growth in exchange for completing his mission. Hence, he became numb and cold towards everyone else, which shows that even though we saw him develop and mature in certain aspects, his humanity was compromised along with his social skills. So while he did develop as soldier/warrior or however else you want to put it, his personal development was stunted.
      That's why he struggled to articulate his feelings not only to Mikasa but Armin as well in the final chapter, cos he hadn't been in many situations, during the four year skip, where he could express his feelings.
      So he was bound to sound like an idiot in a situation he was unfamiliar with.
      When I realised that, I appreciated what Isayama did with his character more, cos that's often how it goes in these types of situations.

  • @coldeed

    Something to think about. Animals are selfish. A wolf finds whatever is weak and feeds on it, simply as it is hungry. It does not care for justice, fairness, kindness or any sense of morality man understands. It does not have thoughts of the future, it acts on instinct naturally moving for nothing but its own benefit. By our standards, this is the making of an evil man.
    Now I present to you the rabbit. While it is weak, harmless and inconsequential, how does it compare? It too seeks out whatever is weak to sate its hunger, and also care little for anything but it's own benefit. It's thinking is just as simple, just as selfish.
    Weakness isn't kindness. Man is far more capable of being a menace than either of these. The sins of being too hard are not fixed by becoming too soft. In this story these are simply two immature steps in a young mans life. Both are build on naïve self interest natural to all living things. This is not something to criticize, it simply displayed the difficulty of maturing a complex mind to hold valuable skills, good judgement, and hopefully in the future well practiced virtues. Too much apathy makes a monster, to much compassion a victim. There are significantly better things for a man to be.

    different tastes, different people.. i honestly didnt like s2 that much, it felt like a switch and bait from season 1 where it was super hype and it slowed down suddenly, some people appreciate the slow and beautiful story telling, and some are disappointed because they were expecting more of what they saw originally.. the problem was that people were fighting to prove each other wrong, cursing each other and calling it bad tastes, when in reality its not for everyone. respect people's opinions and they'll give respect back.. you don't like it? its completely fine, wish you good luck finding an anime you like.. you like it? thats also fine. i've seen so many detailed criticism that people give and fans deny it by saying "grow up shounen kid", literally honest opinions go down the drain. thats the problem with most communities, and many people have got to realize that

    Vinland Saga really is in a league of its own. The only big disappointment is Thorfins naive solution to just run away from all the bad things in the world. I really hope that he quickly learns that this is not a real solution, even if he builds a nation there will be evil there too, because human beings can’t help but bring evil with them no matter where they go.
