Damn Travis, you've done such a great job with Ragnar. Truly touching, unbelievable. I wish you the best for your future career and a place amongst the brightest of the stars.
SRAMEK Ironically he is much like Ragnar himself. All he actually wants is a simple life at a farm back home with his family. But fame and glory probably wont let him do it. Remember the scene Ragnar hallucinated about his old Farmstead. Thats what I imagine an exaggerated version of what goes in Travis' mind on these sets and premieres and interviews. I wish him happiness. Odin bless him.
@@cuzIambatman yes, he works in the industry because it is good money for when he retires and leaves back home to his farm. However it is interesting that he has said in interviews that he would really like to act in comedy movies or shows, but that he is not that good in it.
Dios Batman nah even in an interviwe travis sad that his last speech was for his sons bc He knew they would hear it someday and they would like to think He Got his faith back.Ragnar in his last 5episodes is a man free of gods Who tell him what to do while everybody around him is trapped in religious patterns
The way the Seer says "what if it was?!", you can feel this sudden bitterness to it, the man trying to protect his way of thinking, though he himself is probably torn by doubt and regret, so powerful, so haunting.
Baimurat Yedilbayev He definitely sounds unflinchingly dogmatic, but Ragnar is most certainly the one that is and sounds bitter in this conversation. His entire twilight years were basically him trying to find a way to prove his way of thinking can be correct (that he controls his own fate), which becomes especially evident with his suicide attempts, but astonishing supernatural events intervene him at every turn. If anything, Ragnar comes off as a man in bitter denial. This very conversation with the seer defies his own reasoning
Its when the Seer says that he might have been wrong that Ragnar questioned his own stated beliefs and restored his faith in the gods. In the end he chose Odin over atheism or Athelsteins God.
If that is true, it is Ragnar's projection of his own thoughts. Either the Seer is just that in this scene, or he is a supernatural being who has appeared to Ragnar, in which case, he probably isn't torn by doubt.
You presented her with a destiny and she manifested it. That line is incredibly powerful and people should take heed of it we too often let ourselves be told what to do what to think who to hate without questioning why. If you don't make your own destiny someone else will make it for you
I love how they made the Seer open minded and not rejecting other possibilities, despite of his strong faith. He is supposedly the closest character to the gods, yet he doesn't role out the possibility of being wrong. Being a believer is not an excuse for being close minded.
I love the way ragnar says "what did you say?" as if until that moment he had a piece of him that still believed in the gods and hearing the seer say he may have been wrong shocked even him
no matter what he felt, I just found it very funny how Ragnar declares himself an infidel of his own religion and in the next epsiode, Odin himself visits his sons to tell them that Ragnar is dead. I really think someone in production of this series was thinking like: "let's confuse people as much as we can" or something like that.
@@mehmetalidemir8380 Indeed! they sometimes confused you just to think there would be a bigger picture in the end. While in alot of cases, there wasnt.
@@mehmetalidemir8380 You are looking too literally at it. Maybe Odin didnt visit them, but thats what they felt like. It is a known occurrence that the dearest ppl can feel when someone close is dead, a sensation that something is wrong. And because of religion they were convinced that it was Odin.
his death and his flashbacks to his little farm with his two kids and wife and athelstan, it made me so sad knowing how far he came and how far back he wanted to go, travis did such a good job
I have never encountered a more complex/evolving character as Ragnar in neither film nor tv show. Major props to producers/directors in creating this artfully intense historical drama that brought my husband and myself much happiness and entertainment over the years.
In modern times, questioning and refuting the existence of God/Gods is a pretty normal occurrence. But back in the day, when your entire lifestyle is based around those beliefs and with no objective science to prove otherwise... that's quite a leap in my opinion. It just shows how forward-thinking Ragnar really is. It reminds me of his Season 1 self, so revolutionary. I'm going to miss this guy.
Science doesn't disprove the existence of God though, that's one thing amongst other things you got wrong. Science observes the natural and physical world, God as he's understood in most religions, is a transcendent being that is above the natural realm, so it would be impossible for Science to even discover God to begin with. Also, I don't think you know this but the vast majority of the world's population believe in a Creator/Higher Being/God, and the others are mostly agnostic even if they don't know it. A person who claims to be Atheist when asked if he knows for sure that God doesn't exist will reply with "I can't know if he exists or not for sure." - Which would obviously make him Agnostic, not Atheist.
@@RealSupaHotFireVEVO you can’t disprove god’s existence, but belief in god is incompatible with the scientific method and the real evidence. We have scientific explanations for the origin of life and the universe and none involve a divine being.

@@tardarsauce3355 Science is a belief just as religion is. Both are the creation of a limited human mind. Scientific method is proof of nothing. It observes the nature through our methods of questioning and our beliefs of what the reality is ought to be and not the the nature itself.

The bravado to defy everything he taught to be "sacred" in the name of truth, even when he is going to his certain death, which suits perfectly to the Ragnar Lothbrok we watched in all those seasons. What a man, what a soul.
Damn this is one of the most intersting dialogue in the show. During the 4 seasons religion is a very important topic And in this very scene we see how Ragnar has changed. during his life he understood thst gods are made up by men to have something to hold. For a Viking of the IX century is fucking unbelivable
Dios Batman dont care. I am talking about the character of course not the Real Ragnar Lothbrock plus how would anyone know what the real Ragnar believed in.
One year for Christmas, my family and I did an art class together where we got to paint a message or an image onto a small wooden plaque. I painted that quote onto my plaque. It’s hanging up in my apartment.
@@zaigeix no , the blind man was king ecbert. he was blind from trusting him and trusting what ragnair said, and it was the last person he seen. therefore seer was right
Yes and that’s why Ragnar started with: it will be another day before i’ll be put to death which means Seer was wrong, cause he’s not dying in the day he meant. He guided his own destiny and death. Amazing💯
It was so sad to see Ragnar slowly fall into insanity through greed, grief and eventual drug abuse. The entire season he was reduced to nothing. A “King” that no one would follow he had to give up all his savings just to get a few old men to follow him. But in this moment and his moments with Ecbert you get to see the strong and proud Ragnar again. That being said it is kind of strange to me that Ragnar has literally seen Odin and Odin himself delivered the news of his death and he still renounces his gods. Dude with balls like that is getting a giant throne in Valhalla
I think for me the poignant arc of Ragnar’s life is very fitting. An ambitious, capable man in his youth who presses the accelerator in pursuit of his dreams - much of it influenced by the his belief in the Gods. It all takes it’s toll over his lifetime. As an older, wiser and reflective man, he realises the things that matter most to him. It’s sad to see Ragnar appear so broken and finished, but at the same time, it’s the price he paid for life he led.
As awesome and well done as the battle scenes are, it's really the exchanges between the characters particularly on such meaningful topics that really makes me love this show. It's a shame Ragnar is gone because it was always such a joy seeing how he interacted with other characters particularly Ecbert, Athelstan, and this last conversation with the Seer.
-"What if it wasn't?" -"What if it was?" This two lines shows the whole idea behind this scene - it's all about "perhaps" and "maybe". We know nothing, we put god into the unknowns, we live around gods and we make our lives all about it - but the truth is we should live our own lives the way we want to live it. As Ragnar said: "Man is the master of his own fate". We are heading towards destiny every moment, but we shape it at the same time.
No exaggeration, I've watched this countless times and I've send it to many friends to open their eyes, what he's saying here still applies to this day
To everyone who is confused. Ragnar asked the Seer when he would die and the Seer replied "You will die on the day the blind man sees you." Ragnar then asked the blind man when he will reach King Alles and the blind man says not until tomorrow. So he saw the blind man the day before he was going to die so that's why he doesn't belive in the gods anymore.
But then when ragnar was in the pit. Few seconds before his death he Saw King ecbert looking at him not knowing what was ragnar's last move against him. Ecbert was the "blind man who Saw him"
I just like when Ragnar smiles for a breaf then return to serious face ... great job by Travis fimmel .. he just captured so many souls by this character role ... this scene still gives me chills 🥲
MOkarf Koasd I read somewhere that Ragnar wouldn't be back in the show in any religious visions like Athlestan (spelling?), because at the end he was atheist, and guy that played Ragnar thought only very religious characters should be able to appear in visions,but they will probably have him make some appearances in dreams. Idk how the show is gonna be without Ragnar. I know he had to die, but he was the show. I also read he was supposed to die at the end of the 1st season or year.
No one seems to understand that there are two blind men in this episode who the Seer might have referred to. The actual blind man and Eckbert. The king 'sees' Ragnar right before he dies in the snake pit. This confirms what the Seer (and his gods) claimed in his prophecy if you look at it in a way that Eckbert was 'blind' to trust Ragnar in his strategy of handing him over to Aelle and sending Ivar home.
True. I think this show's real piece that made this season so brilliant was also, that despite all these great scenes, the Gods still exist in the show. After Ragnar's death Odin himself shows up to tell his son's that Ragnar has died. The real mastery, that combines these scenes is that someone who directed this show thought about all of these connections and put them in right place.
Probably the most powerful scenes of the series where Ragnar reconciled his beliefs and realized that all men are struggling through the same things even the seer had doubts. Ragnar also started to see how everyone manifested what was in their heart through their actions. "It is true for you" statement by the seer was the realest thing he said.
Absolutely very strong words by Ragnar Lothbrok {Travis Fimmel}. An Amazing actor with absolutely nice impact for the tv show called Vikings... The only true king and an amazing person. The show will be never the same without you, we miss you! :)
Son's Of anarchy, Vikings, Game of thrones, Daredevil, Arrow, 13 reasons why, Stranger thing's, Breaking Bad, Band of Brother's and other many!! I have seen sooo many tv show's my personal favorite is the first i wrote! And among SOO many character's only Ragnar has truly touch me! Thank you travis fimmel for your amazing acting and for KING RAGNAR. Greeting's from Greece.
Whats funny is the seer was actually right and ragnar was wrong. He truly died the day the blind man saw him. The true blind man was King Ecbert..blinded by power and selfishness. The moment Ecbert was able to see what he has done(Became un-blinded) was the moment he saw ragnar fall into the pit. So he did die the moment the blind man saw him.
Yea but that’s just a fan interpretation. Not actually true. He died the moment after ecbert saw him but it says the day, not the exact moment. Could be 18 hours later or 10 for example. Ragnar was right
Yea but that’s just a fan interpretation. Not actually true. He died the moment after ecbert saw him but it says the day, not the exact moment. Could be 18 hours later or 10 for example. Ragnar was right
And now this scene no longer has any meaning after episode 16. They sort of ruined it by pretending Odin and Valhalla exist, yet it was one the finest dialogues ever written.
It has meaning, if he didn't believe the gods that doesn't mean they didn't watch over him. I think Odin liked Ragnar because maybe he saw himself in him. Odin is the god of knowledge, curiosity. And the seer saying he might have been wrong just says everyone can be wrong, like Ragnar could be wrong about the gods or somth. Anyways this can be interpreted in so many ways. Ragnar's words ;)
I think in the first episode Odin only appeared to Ragnar as an hallucination, and it had never been stated that the gods existed until episode 16, it was always about symbolism, belief and interpretation. The point of this scene is to show how Ragnar is ahead of everyone else as he's understood that gods are only men's creation, which is true in fact : yet Michael Hirst chose fiction over history/reality. But I'm okay with that, I just think the scene loses its meaning.
Well Harbard was rather a representation of Loki, but again I think it was about symbolism and not Loki himself. What I mean is it no longer has meaning because if the gods do exist then the christian god or Allah exist as well, yet it doesn't seem so in the show. It just would have been better if the gods had not been real.
Then again, the way Ragnar said his final words was very theatrical, I don't think he truly believed in those words, but more for the sake of appearing unapologetic to the christians, almost as to just appear the monster the believed him to be
Maybe that's how the oracle saw when he was young, his eyes were blind from birth, but his body became this way in a fire and the skin under his eyelids stuck to the upper side.
As someone raised into a religion I didn't believe in this scene really spoke to me, the existence of the gods means nothing when from the beginning it was only ever about the faith. Man has exploited this for thousands of years to his undoing. Great show.
And that’s why Ragnar was great. He’s done some things that I did not agree with at all, but overall he was a great man. This should have been used in the episode though. As shit as he’s been to Lagertha, it’s nice to see him prove his point by means of using her in a way that shows she would have been a greater person if not to trust in the gods way.
all of Ragnar's regret. The seer told him a prophecy and he manifested it. Just like what happened to Lagertha. If only he stayed with Lagertha in the farm.
hands down, maybe best scene in the series.
Ragnar Lothbrok and most important
I agree. Why did they cut it out of the series tho? because I only saw this now on youtube for the first time and not in the series.
i dunno what you have watched but this was in the episode: )
it wasn't in the normal hbo version this was only in nordic hbo
definitely the best scene ragnar seeing the world as it truly is the maker of his own destiny

Give Travis fimmel a goddamn Emmy already
Robert Comerico Yeah he doesn't but who ever plays Sansa in Game of Thrones does. 👎
PREACH
"Man is a master of his own fate, not the Gods. The Gods are man's creation to give answers that they are too afraid to give themselves"
This should be written in every Bible, every Koran, every religious book ever.
That is a non-believer's way to seeing the world. It applied even more to people living back then when religion was more important to most of them.
Furm Shut up All the people can belive what they want you don't have any right to say that morron
At the end Ragnar sees the true blind man (Ecberth) and his faith return so this scene is pointless

Maybe so. I guess everyone has his own struggles in what we know as human condition.
Nobody can control their fate though. :p

It was when I saw the episode.

The Seer wouldn't dislike the video tho, he seems to doubt just as much as Ragnar does, even when he clings to the belief with all he has.

Even the Seer cannot resist Ragnar's wisdom!
Best speech ever I loved 🥺😔
"The gods are man's creation to give answers that they are too afraid to give themselves..."
I love this scene.

thanks
Thanks man, great video. Why have they cut it in final version?
Welcome ;) No idea, this version was on amazon prime, i noticed they released a shorter one so i uploaded this one :)
Whats funny is the seer was actually right and ragnar was wrong. He truly died the day the blind man saw him. The true blind man was King Ecbert..blinded by power and selfishness. The moment Ecbert was able to see what he has done(Became un-blinded) was the moment he saw ragnar fall into the pit. So he did die the moment the blind man saw him.
You just blew my mind. I did not think of this: King Ecbert being the actual blind man. Nice insight!
Yea but that’s just a fan interpretation. Not actually true. He died the moment after ecbert saw him but it says the day, not the exact moment. Could be 18 hours later or 10 for example. Ragnar was right

Best scene
I chose the way for this soundtrack
No one predicted that, Not you, Not the god, just me
That's was my idea, to come here to heard this song
Lartificier1058 you believe that, so it is true. To you
My lord ragnar
i can see you ragnar lothbrok i can see you
-the vikings are told of ragnars death😢
I had hope when he said ‘atleast another day’
Good soundtrack
Ragnar is smarter than anyone in this show....
press f to pay respect
holy crap just after rewatching this now i relise what ragnar ment ( fairly new to vikings )
Wish that soundtrack had been released
Maravillosa interpretación de Travis Fimmel
This scene was in the episode when it was aired live.
'The blind man see Ragnar' should be the title.
Ragnar goed gedaan jong verry great work ragnar de second
Holy shit thus scene is like a thousand time better than the other one why they cut it ?😢
2020 Corona virus still here
I misss him
And now this scene no longer has any meaning after episode 16. They sort of ruined it by pretending Odin and Valhalla exist, yet it was one the finest dialogues ever written.
It has meaning, if he didn't believe the gods that doesn't mean they didn't watch over him. I think Odin liked Ragnar because maybe he saw himself in him. Odin is the god of knowledge, curiosity. And the seer saying he might have been wrong just says everyone can be wrong, like Ragnar could be wrong about the gods or somth. Anyways this can be interpreted in so many ways. Ragnar's words ;)
I think in the first episode Odin only appeared to Ragnar as an hallucination, and it had never been stated that the gods existed until episode 16, it was always about symbolism, belief and interpretation. The point of this scene is to show how Ragnar is ahead of everyone else as he's understood that gods are only men's creation, which is true in fact : yet Michael Hirst chose fiction over history/reality. But I'm okay with that, I just think the scene loses its meaning.
Well Harbard was rather a representation of Loki, but again I think it was about symbolism and not Loki himself. What I mean is it no longer has meaning because if the gods do exist then the christian god or Allah exist as well, yet it doesn't seem so in the show. It just would have been better if the gods had not been real.
KryZe28200 Christian fool you know not of what you speak
Then again, the way Ragnar said his final words was very theatrical, I don't think he truly believed in those words, but more for the sake of appearing unapologetic to the christians, almost as to just appear the monster the believed him to be
*The blind man sees ragnar
This scene... Bjornns last scene and the famous Ivar one transcend the show
"I didn't say anything..."
Maybe that's how the oracle saw when he was young, his eyes were blind from birth, but his body became this way in a fire and the skin under his eyelids stuck to the upper side.
As someone raised into a religion I didn't believe in this scene really spoke to me, the existence of the gods means nothing when from the beginning it was only ever about the faith. Man has exploited this for thousands of years to his undoing. Great show.
I am sorry ecbert I love you and all but this is the best conversation in the series..
And that’s why Ragnar was great. He’s done some things that I did not agree with at all, but overall he was a great man.
This should have been used in the episode though. As shit as he’s been to Lagertha, it’s nice to see him prove his point by means of using her in a way that shows she would have been a greater person if not to trust in the gods way.
all of Ragnar's regret. The seer told him a prophecy and he manifested it. Just like what happened to Lagertha. If only he stayed with Lagertha in the farm.
