Thorkell the Tall is a real person who actually existed in history. A lot of myths got tied to him in the centuries after he lived. But he was actually so huge that he couldn't ride horses. He'd literally break their spines. He most likely had the same genetic anomaly as Andre the Giant. The fact that he survived to his mid to late 50s during the time he lived as a warlord and habitual backstabber was pretty epic before saga poets got their hands on his story. He was basically viking Lu Bu, but more successful at surviving. So successful a surviving that nobody knows when he died. He just disappears after 1024. Popular theory is that retirement got to him, so that bit in the series about him literally losing the will to live when not allowed to fight might be a nod to how most historians assume he went out. Bored to death (literally).
@@masamoto-sama8992 They didn't have the same measurements as we did back then, and no one has found his gravesite to confirm in present day. But given the clues left by the people who lived back then, I would guess somewhere between 7 and 8 feet tall.
Damn, ya'll have no sympathy for someone who just found out his father-figure died???? Coldblooded. If someone I cared about, and spoke to not even an hour ago died, I would scream too. It's not pussy shit. It's empathy.
Not at all, one of the brothers following askellad is called thorgrim. It's just a cultural thing where since they worship/look up to the divinity thor, it became a pretty common name (since it's cool or whatever) to give to boys. edit: the brother is called torgrim after all, however there IS still another character called thorgil, introduced in season 2.
That was like 27 years ago and Thorkell wasn't buff back then and only used 1 axe. Since Thors became a Family dude and Thorkell kept fighting through wars, Present Thorkell>Thors. Thorkell has more raw power, Thors has the better technique. I mean if Thors' raw strength was anywhere near Thorkell's, then he should have been able to easily break Askeladd's sword when he fought him, but he wasn't. Thors would win if they fight in close combat, Thorkell would win if he has his axes and doesn't get interrupted.
@@getfked7073 I see were you coming from but I still got thors because for all we know thorkell still could of had more raw strength back then when it was a 100% thors was a stronger fighter and as we know having more raw strength doesn't mean you will win and with the axe situation I could be underestimating thorfinns speed but SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS if thorfinn can dodge his axes and I believe he even deflects a swing with his small blades I dont see thors having a problem especially with how smart he was in battle
@@getfked7073 when the writers say thors is stronger, thors is stronger. Skills > Raw strength. Thor broke his axes and knocked him out bare hands with ease
@@shon7063 Thorkell was clearly not in his prime back then, he was barely buff compared to his present self, look at this back then vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/6/64/987.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190808064835 and in the present vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/8/8d/1019.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190808065006, Thorfinn was able to dodge his attacks because speed is Thorfinn's speciality and their height difference gives Thorfinn the advantage (Been stated that small and quick dudes like Thorfinn are Thorkell's weakness)
@@23foo41 its about patreon bucks. they get waaaaaaaay more. they dont care about views or dislikes. its phat stacks. they wanna be rich and famous like in the rap videos.
Rex Supreme And if it got boring it can also get not boring. They enjoyed 3 and a half seasons. To drop it over for episodes of downtime would be silly considering how few episodes are left (which partly redeem the prior episodes).
Imagine dropping a show over a handful of episodes that are "boring" when in reality these are the last episodes of slice of life we will get in the series for a long time since pretty much everything from hawks onward is considered top tier my hero even better than all the previous arcs. Funny how they "stopped" right before Gentle vs Deku,The Musical, and the Hawks and Endeavor vs High End fight. Like have some damn patience for once, good things come to those who wait.
@@pieck5460 damn dont gotta make it a life lesson, they didnt drop mha. They more treated it like a filler that should be skipped. All the things u just said except for the gentle v deku and musical are gonna happen in the new season which they will mostly likely watch. I don't think anyone's interested in watching their reaction for a musical but i guess the gentle fight woul'dve been cool, but its not smth to get heated about. chill lmao
Yo Wellz if you fuck with Lu Bu read Shuumatsu no Valkyrie. It’s about the gods wanting to kill humanity so it’s 13 humans and 13 gods fighting 1 vs 1 to the death. Some of the best fights in manga.
You guys should watch Berserk from 1997. Watch it before anime gets so advanced that you can't enjoy the visuals. For now it still holds up but the story will make you want to read the manga. It's only 25 episodes because the rest of the anime hasn't been adapted (some arcs were turned into the newer Berserk series from 2016 but it's just horrendous computer animation, so don't bother).
Hell no! These guys can't handle that show. They would totally hate it because of the more disturbing themes and Rob ruin the experience. He would probably love the ending though.

Exactly!
Y'all still ain't finished this series yet? Lol
Prob finished it months ago. Theyre just releasing it once a week. They watched the first 1/3rd of the series on twitch within like a week.
They gotta ration shit out cause of the lockdown
dasturdlydevil how? they live together so making more content is not a problem

Rob saying Askeladd is stronger mentally than physically, I agree but 👀
THORfinn, THORs, THORkell - coincidence?

@@SilentPhoenix__ correct, my bad.
Later you'll that it is in fact, not a coincidence
@@WilliamD52 i mean, technically. Spoilers for anyone who cares.
They aren't related by blood, so it is coincidental
Can’t wait for the next 2 episodes for the change of a certain character
Thorkell said thors was the only person stronger than him

Why
Hell yeah that animes awesome
Christopher Rivera cause it’s awesome obviously
Yeah Thorkell really was the European LuBu here
Y’all might as well start doin the 2 episode reactions😭🎯
Why would they do that when they can get twice as much money by dragging it out?
null akjg lmfaooo if money’s their main concern they won’t but 2 episodes per reaction would get more views lbs

You guys should really react to prison School you will love it
Hope y’all watch Jojo after MHA.
PRISON SCHOOL - funniest anime ever made - 12 episodes
GRAND BLUE - 2nd funniest anime ever made - 12 episodes
Gintama is ranked as the funniest anime worldwide
@@JS-kb4bk nah
@@ArNerManOfficial Well you're in the minority with that opinion
J S - and appeal to majority is a logical fallacy.
Dont get me wrong I like Gintama. But it is more of a classic (like DB for example) but defenitely not the funniest ever
I know this isn't about MHA but did they really stop watching it or taking a break.
Nyshawn Walters it hot boring
Rex Supreme - got*
And that’s not an answer to his question.
Rex Supreme
