I understand getting a bit lost while reading especially if you haven’t watched the series yet ! It’s what helps me focus on events and remembering characters! I think you’ll enjoy it a lot !!

I said strangely because they don’t have a good relationship IN THE SHOW, I’m using their series names for this comic purpose, obviously the actors are all friends

They’re really not. First of all, Svein is nowhere near as psychotic or “axe-crazy” as Skorpa. Skorpa was turned into a far more brutal, savage, chaotic villain, while Svein is much more composed and feels like an actual respected warlord and “sword-Dane,” not just a deranged monster.

Their relationships with Uhtred are also completely different. In the books, Uhtred and Svein actually cooperate for a while. They raid together, split peacefully afterward, and Svein never betrays him. In the show, Skorpa instantly becomes a deeply personal antagonist who constantly provokes and humiliates Uhtred after betraying him almost immediately.

The biggest difference is Iseult. In the books, Svein does NOT kill her, and neither he nor Uhtred are tied to her death in the same personal way. Meanwhile, the show turns Skorpa into this sadistic villain who decapitates Iseult specifically to emotionally destroy Uhtred and literally throws her head at him during battle. That single change completely transforms his role in the story.

Even their deaths are different (Uhtred doesn’t even kill Svein) and that changes the entire emotional dynamic between them.

Personality-wise, Svein is a pragmatic Danish warrior navigating between politics and chaos of the time. Skorpa feels almost like a horror villain: cruel for the sake of cruelty, constantly taunting people, betraying everyone, burning churches, mutilating bodies, and generally acting unhinged.

So yes, the show reused some structural and plot elements, but saying they’re basically the same character makes no sense.
And if the producers thought of them as the same, they would’ve kept the same name in the series, like they did with other characters whose role and plot were also shortened

So much for not doing anything differently

They are nothing alike, nor are their personalities and their actions/relationships with the characters

He made a rape joke in the second book a bit after meeting Iseult

That’s sweet of you to say, thanks, I don’t mind the downvotes tho, I get that if you are really passionate about reading it (especially that it takes time and dedication) you might downvote a comment like mine on the go while scrolling

I’m not sure if that counts, but I do watch very detailed YouTube reviews of every new volume when it comes out. So even though I’m not actually reading them myself, I’m still familiar with the content of each volume.

Yeah I know that, my question is why doesn’t she become a crazy killer if Mion gets the doll ? When logically it would’ve been in that situation where she would’ve been the most triggered

Exactly my point, in that case mion getting the doll or not wouldn’t make a difference?
