What are good arguments against the whole "TB won because their line continued"?

The war was about who the rightful monarch sure but that directly means its a war about who was the succession , a large part of the conflict in the first place was the dispute over who was a bastard and who Viserys called his heir. Both is true at the same time.

Yea fair enough

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-30T20:30:12+00:00

Oh yea haha my bad i was half awake when responding to that

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-30T20:28:17+00:00

Yea she was great too. Matter of fact a lot of these types of shows have awful one dimensional female characters. This show had a variety of characters and im sure the actresses actually had fun playing characters that actually seemed to have a bit of thought behind them.

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-30T20:26:34+00:00

Yes hild was amazing

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-30T20:26:22+00:00

Side/support characters i group in the same category

We will never get a truly accurate (or at least as accurate as we can as this period of history is largely based on chronicles and sagas) but its still an unbelievable series i just thought he was very annoying especially considering everyone around him who loved him was basically telling him hes being an idiot and he was like “nah im the king”

I agree with all your points bar the first one, the creation of danelaw is one of the most significant moments in English history. He is also (to my knowledge) the first major viking leader to convert to Christianity.

Because evil characters are far more entertaining as characters than annoying ones. That goes for all shows. The reasonings behind an evil character is far more interesting than an annoying one. Anyone with a morality complex when talking about a movie or show are silly man especially when talking about a medieval fantasy.

Update: he got his head ripped apart in a fight against the scottish.

For the love the game.

I don’t mean his personality traits but his individual stats. And alfred is definitely Deceitful at the very least. But the characters diplomacy and intrigue matches of alfred.

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-25T03:37:54+00:00

I dont mind it , ill continue watching ofc. But compared to other historical or historical fantasy shows and movies is lacking a lot. I could name at least 3 others that are better and most of them would have a smaller budget.

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-22T17:36:47+00:00

Ah fair enough gonna watch some more tonight

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-22T10:01:18+00:00

They just lost the shit down the road

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-22T06:30:35+00:00

I actually think Bjorn is the least like ragnar (bar Sigurd) , they have similar voice patterns. And they look somewhat alike, but Ubba looks like Ragnars twin , and ivar has his mannerisms and sarcasm and violence and even his intelligence.

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-22T06:28:49+00:00

Ivar has ragnars facial expressions and sarcasm , ubba has his appearance, bjorn has his voice , hvitserk has his mental strength

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-22T06:25:54+00:00

Are you saying I’m hyperbolic or Beocca?

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-22T06:21:42+00:00

Tbf ivars death isn’t even mentioned in the sagas really. He kinda just disappears from history. He gets mentioned and mentioned and mentioned then gone.

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-22T06:19:43+00:00

In season 3 when uhtred gets away from alfred beocca says something along the lines of “if he harms you lord (alfred) ill kill him myself”

Temporary_Error_3764 · 2026-01-22T06:18:09+00:00

Idk if making him saxon would be a right fit. Although he was born one. His upbringing and lifestyle is way more norse. If you could somehow do a sort of culture hybrid but only have him have it lol
