Vikings had these things called "Flytings" where they would exchange insults to one another and they were also usually written in poetic verse, they were essentially rap battles.
Okay in Thorfinn’s defense, he never knew about Floki’s involvement of his Dad’s death plus he was too focused on bodying Askeladd and he was too immature to not put 2 and 2 together at the time like Chavez says
Yeah. Read the manga and gotta say he didn't even realized or put it together but even if he did know of such information at the time, he was a little vengeance of a lad to shank Ask.
I don't know if any viking could classify as himbo. Himbos are, more or less, defined by a combination of muscular physique, low to average intelligence, and a heart of gold. That's why Kronk is literally THE himbo. He is the epitome of all 3 traits. I think that Vikings, by definition, fail to meet that 3rd pre-req for being a himbo. They weren't exactly know for their purity of heart or kindness lol
While a viking seems as nothing but a barbarian to outsiders, they do possess a hearth of gold once they get to know you and you them. This I take from the cultural rumor or fact about Norwegians. So take it with a grain of salt.
@@Harleopet Yeah... I don't think it counts when they're only being nice to their in-group. And I never said they were barbarians. That word is a poor descriptor of any group of people in human history that has been considered "uncivilized" by the dominant regional force Point is, they don't exactly pass the bar for what make a himbo. That's not to say that there weren't Norse dudes who would meet the qualifications, but Vikings, specifically likely wouldn't. Ya know... because of all the pillaging, murdering, slaving, war, and... abhorrent acts against women.
@@Thirzy Well yeah. Pacifism is only pacifism if you have the ability to do violence but you choose not to. Thors and Thorfinn don't say to not defend yourself, just that attacking should be the last choice you pick on the list. If you can negotiate, evade, run, do so. Only when you're backed into a corner do you do what must be done.
@@jamesfrey6136 I have no idea what you're talking about. Avoiding violence isn't being soft, it's being reasonable. "Hard Times create Good Men" well they also create the worst monsters and it's better to avoid that.
@@jamesfrey6136 not only are you wrong but you got the phrase wrong as well its hard times create *strong* men, *strong* men create easy times, easy times create *weak* men. and yes though conflict is inevitable in curtain situations it is not weak or wrong to resolve situations in a calm and collected way.
@@Chavezzslovakia Epic Rap battles of history: Thor Vs Zeus. "Val-holla at ya boi and we'll Flyte it out, keep ya asguard up I ragnarok the house." yeah. no bullshit. vikings had rap battles historically.
SPOILERS: Floki's involvement in Thors' death will become a pretty important point in the (not yet released) Season 3. Until then, Thorfinn doesn't know because nobody told him... and he never asked.
Na No one but Askeladds crew knew that they were hired by floki to kill thors. Canute didnt know, egg head didnt know, thorkell didnt know. I feel the frustration with kitten and i hate that he is alive but yeah, no one alive knows that info but floki now.
The Aztecs are actually way after the vikings. Might not seem like it since the Aztecs are often portrayed like they're ancient, but they're hundreds upon hundreds of years after the vikings. The Aztecs are closer to George Washington than the beginning of the Viking Age.
9:45 Good point. Counter point: The Jomsvikings were a feared viking organization reaching far beyond just the fleet on their shores and would have come and slaughtered everyone in retalliation to a deserter who killed a high ranking member. Also the vikings currently there would have caught some bodies before Thors would have the chance to kill them
Yeah pretty much. Even if he stopped the attack which I mean he probably could there'd be a lot of people dead by the end and I'm sure half the village burnt down
@@Chavezzslovakia Dumb and Strong is a Jock. Nice and Strong is a Hunk. Dumb and Nice is just a Decent Man. Dumb, Strong and Nice well that's a Himbo. There's like an entire Venn Diagram of this lol.
That blondish guy with a beard reading the proclamation about half way through the video, his voice reminded me of bevis and butthead doing a cornholio impression
I mean if thors killed flokie nothing’s stopping the kingdom from hunting them down n killing em after finding out assuming they can beat all those highly trained soldiers
The real og menaces were the sea people, the first menaces recorded history, such menaces that they destroyed all the recorded history we had before 6000 years ago
In his defense he couldn't have known his father's death was orchestrated because Thors only put it together mentally he never actually spoke to askeladd about it
Fun fact: Viking warships were designed to be carried over land if they needed to. That’s why you see Askalad’s men carrying their ships in that one battle.
what is rarely shown in popular culture about "vikings" is that they were ordinary people with homes, jobs and families. the terms Viking is misleading as it is often interpreted as the norsemen who went trading, raiding and working often as mercenaries. the term is to go viking wich means to do all of the previous and most of wich was trading. a norseman is not a viking, to go trade, raid and work is to go viking. the examples in this video are all vikings but would probably be better fit to be called "einherjar" wich the meaning of the word were not sure of but is generaly translated as "those who fight alone" wich is interpreted as the outstanding ones. the einherjar are the fighters who died and came to valhalla for their skill and bravery.
So the Viking Age ended in approximately 1066 CE, and the Aztec Empire was founded between approximately 1300 and 1325 CE. The Mayan Civilization was in the process of abandoning its cities during most of the Viking Age.
What do you mean he didn't inform them? Most of the villagers trained and actually could fight and a good but already been in a battle before plus it wasn't thors responsibility to teach the villager that since he wasn't the leader and he tried to teach throfinn but he didn't care
I always kind of thought Thors probably should have just jumped that whole ship full of guys the moment they pulled up to the dock in Iceland. Just don't even give them a chance. He knows how it goes. But then, it's a very short story...
44:50 I see what you mean but maybe the worst possible game choice for this example as in Dark Souls you actually do die every time, you are just revived at the Bonfires. The analogy works better for games like Skyrim or Dragon Age
The manga is way more violent and explanatory. I like the anime fine enough, though i havent finished season 1 (was waiting ror season 2 to start before I finished so i could binge), and i havent touched it since before season 2 started (life); but a part of me kind of dislikes the amount of info the anime either gets rid of or changes, either when certain events happen or when they happen. I know its being done the way it is for a reason, but its kind of jarring to me. Also, never thought that id like an anime done by the studio that made Attack on Titan. Hate that anime/manga. I hope that in the future that some studio brings Historie (should the manga ever be finished). That manga has some brutal shit in it too.
9:10 i mean they the army waiting on standby so that would be a terrible idea unless he going to solo the entire army while protecting every person in the village which I doubt he could do when the army is full of some of the most feared Vikings, as strong as thors is there's no way he would of bodied the whole army while protecting his entire village
I really don't get where the dumbass comments are coming from. I am confused as fuck, how was he gonna magically work out Floki's involvement in what happened to his dad? What motivation did Thorfinn even have to get in that man's business when he didn't know he had made Thors his business?
Askeladd was like the opposite of a himbo. Taking away the viking-ness of them the formula for a himbo boils down to big, burly, and kinda stupid(average intelligence at best) usually also being friendly/kind Guy was a lean, keen, mean, straight up fien-d. He fought with agility and wit, pretty anti-himbo. Spoilers for anyone who hasnt seen the show Plus he stated he hates vikings, Danes, and the norse all together. He just does what he did for power, personal gain even if it was the expense of pretty much anyone else (except his home country)
Vikings had these things called "Flytings" where they would exchange insults to one another and they were also usually written in poetic verse, they were essentially rap battles.
Oh yeah didn't they translate one of those not long ago and it was literally just one guy calling someone else a dick. Like straight up just a dick
@@WillGlacier I don't know about that one, but there is one in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
My only exposure to a 'flyte' is the Thor vs Zeus ERB.
Fun fact: Vikings used to eat psychedelic mushrooms before battle. In fact, the term "berserker" comes from this practice.
My kinda people
No? The term Berserker means Bear Shirt, it's for elite warriors for the Jarl that wore Bear Fur to signify their standing.
@@TheDinohunter2000 they still consumed shrooms
@@Grandstoryseeker That's a theory. We're not really 100% sure since the Vikings didn't write down shit.
@@Grandstoryseeker That's not the debate.
Okay in Thorfinn’s defense, he never knew about Floki’s involvement of his Dad’s death plus he was too focused on bodying Askeladd and he was too immature to not put 2 and 2 together at the time like Chavez says
Yeah. Read the manga and gotta say he didn't even realized or put it together but even if he did know of such information at the time, he was a little vengeance of a lad to shank Ask.
Thorfinn was also 6 at the time his dad died, I feel like people often forget this.
Friendly reminder that Thors was such a *badass* that Thorkell just *gave up* on challenging him cause he was sick of losing to him.

I admire Thors and Thorfinn's Philosophy. If you don't need to fight, don't. There's always another choice.
but to get to the point for you to have that philosophy like both Thors and Thorfinn first, you need to be formidable
@@Thirzy Well yeah. Pacifism is only pacifism if you have the ability to do violence but you choose not to.

While Vikings weren't known for shittalking, they *did* have their own version of Rap Battles called *flytes*
Love how the dude narrates calmly during the normal descriptions but goes Viking mode when it gets intense

hey ChavezzSlovakia your back nice to see you again
“I was busy not being busy” is my new work history gap explanation from here forth.
Thorkell ain't no Himbo! His evil actions make him a Jock!
THATS THE WORD! A JOCK! Imma argue with Skitten brb.
@@Chavezzslovakia Dumb and Strong is a Jock. Nice and Strong is a Hunk. Dumb and Nice is just a Decent Man. Dumb, Strong and Nice well that's a Himbo. There's like an entire Venn Diagram of this lol.
Vikings had a custom called "flyting" where they essentially go back and for dissing each other in rhyme, which is essentially a viking rap battle
Technically Thorkell only lost half his pinkie and the tip of his ring finger. I would argue him losing his eye was the bigger loss.
Happy 4th of July, everyone!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆🎇🎆🎇🎆🎇
lmfao literally was scrubbing yalls vids to find this one yesterday this is perfect.
Let's get that first comment, HEY SLOVOKA FANS
I hope your vacation was well! Welcome back!❤️❤️
That blondish guy with a beard reading the proclamation about half way through the video, his voice reminded me of bevis and butthead doing a cornholio impression
I agree with skitten that thorskell is a himbo that loves to fight and kill
Y’all are crazy!
My gummies kicked my ass and i missed the upload this time, but i had still eaten them, when you uploaded it.
Happy 4th of July and love your reaction videos.
The avocado was a much better way to calm people lol, felt like hypnotoad
Who needs Valhalla when you can post up at the BAF1 Roundtable?!?!
I will say that some of the most fearsome vikings started at 5 years old
I mean if thors killed flokie nothing’s stopping the kingdom from hunting them down n killing em after finding out assuming they can beat all those highly trained soldiers
Happy 4th of July love you guys and i hate the fact Floki gitmt off scott free to hopefully he gets what's coming to him in season 3
He won't. His nephew snaps at him which breaks his heart but that's about it.
The real og menaces were the sea people, the first menaces recorded history, such menaces that they destroyed all the recorded history we had before 6000 years ago
If Thors killed Floki, they would have sent a bigger force in response which would kill everyone
In his defense he couldn't have known his father's death was orchestrated because Thors only put it together mentally he never actually spoke to askeladd about it
"you get to know yourself sitting around weeds" truth as a landscaper ill say this is true

Yooo the MMA references are on point
Dude I've been waitin for your reaction video ever since Cj just released this video 🎉🎉🎉

Skitten back at it again showing why she's a scary individual lol
The coldest mfers gotta go early for some reason
You never should have come here. NPC guards in skyrim tryin to arrest god level dragonborn.
I always kind of thought Thors probably should have just jumped that whole ship full of guys the moment they pulled up to the dock in Iceland. Just don't even give them a chance. He knows how it goes. But then, it's a very short story...
Been waiting for this one! Btw Happy 4th of July y’all! Much Love from NY! ❤️
Omg I love her hair 😭🫶❤️
Thorfin didn't know floki set dad up
It is now being called prelube. Thank you
42:30 young thorffin did not know floki was involved in the assassination until many years later into adulthood

I love the avocado. Just so you know I've never harassed y'all for content. I appreciate every video you put out when you put it out.
The reaction I was waiting for!!😭
I need more UFC vids from how they talked on it frrrrr
😏I love how CJ turned Thors into Kratos.
5:55-6:00 ever noticed that the straw on skitten's cup kept changing colors as if it's greenscreen
Happy 4th of July!!!
"Thor, BUT PLURAL!"

Y'all know we ain't never care about Do as I Say Not as I Do as kids.
Yooooo I’ve been waiting for vid reaction, also wsp my fellow slovoka’ns 😋
Askeladd was the master of Dun Moch before Darth Vader.
Just letting Skitten know, Thorfinn doesn't know Floki set his dad up. He'll find that out in season 3.
I know he's pacifist now but I hope Thorfinn smacks him
Spoiler........
He chops bros fingers off, snatches his hopes and dreams and then shatters them before going home.
@@somebody7205
When thorfinn find out floki was the one that kill thor, he will be piss to the core
42:55 he never knew Floki was the one to sentence the hit.... Maybe season 3 might answer some questions...
20:36 bro is using 3 dagger style 💀
Looks like a avocado sloth
personally i believe a fully armored fully trained legion of Jomsvikings was even to much for Thors.
Six half drunk dudes with bows:
Your opinion on Thors and thorfin is the exact opposite of mine lmao
As I saw this I was on it
No we didnt dis during battle we had a rap duel at the feast instead called flyting

Floki is a bastard because he loki in his name.
Askeladd was like the opposite of a himbo.
Taking away the viking-ness of them the formula for a himbo boils down to big, burly, and kinda stupid(average intelligence at best) usually also being friendly/kind
