Explain how this is compelling

Just look who his dady was

It's better than demon slayer.

I hope we will be able to dual-wield daggers on Bannerlord.

Wrong. It's just your average English with a sword instead of a longbow.

Because it had build up, something that most shows lack, like snk

Kek your 200-300 years off

For some weird reason the Vinland threads have become better, funnier and more alive ever since the anime aired. They usually become much shittier when an anime adaptation airs. But not his time.
What gives?

Because the shonen kiddies aren't very interested.

Now that I think about it, nobody in this fucking manga wears mail coifs
It's supposed to be 11th century already

Nevermind, they do have some, at least in the Baltic Sea arc, but it's like 1 guy out of ten.

...

just like nearly every MC-kun

but build up is snks middle name? Of all the vague baseless critics to use, why would it be the one thing the show is known for lmao

Thorfin's development to be a vengful characters is alot longer and feels more realitic/better developed than eren's

?? No it isn't? His a perfectly stary eye'd kid, there was no gradual growth or pre-existing distain, his dead dies and his character suddenly changes.
There's really on build up to his father death.

Eren's is characterized for his distain for the titans from the jump, they are an enemy his never met but their existence forces him to live like cattle, naturally once he does meet them and they kill his mom his reaction is a natural progression from where he was at the start of the episode. The development is set up so much better? It has way more punch and takes 1/4th time.

People are too busy shitposting Dr Stone.

Yes it is. Lets ignore the fact thorfin grew up in a cultrue that being a warrior and fighting in wars is glorified, seeing his father getting killed, forced to travel with the people that killed his father not just for the duel but to surivive in a forgein hostile land, and fight in a battle and get your first kill at the age of 6. These six epsidoes of vinland saga set up the development of thorfin better than the "from the jump"1st episode of snk. Because it gave more time and room for the mc to grow. instead of almost seeing everything charactrized in the mc from the jump in the first episode.

No build up? There was plenty if build up for thors death. I think you mean carla.

angl*s and sax*ns are germans.

Why are anglos such pathetic jobbers?

>Yes it is. Lets ignore the fact thorfin grew up in a cultrue that being a warrior and fighting in wars is glorified
I didn't forget, I specifically said he was stary eyed, do you not know what that term means?

All that does is make his change more jarring, from one extreme to the next.
You've already lost your own argument but changing the goal post, referring to things that happen after he becomes a "vengful character", which is of no concern to what we're talking about.

Point is your claims hereare completely baseless.

We're not just talking about things that happen afterwards, Eren grows and developes in his first 5 episodes too??

But the build up to the MC becoming vengful? Snk did it so much better, with how the characterized eren, and the world his lives in before he even meets his first enemy.

kid knew how broken AGI and increased evasion + knives is, while anglo just maxed STR without putting any consideration on DEX or AGI.

No one said there's no build up for thors death? His dead in the first chapter, it's predictable asf the second thorfin steals away on their boat.

We're talking about "thorfins development to be a vengful character", as that retard stated.

If your not refering to the development after episode 4 then what the fuck are you talking about? Are you trying to say thorfin wanting to kill askeladd after his father died is a sudden change with no build up? Like i said ealier, lets ignore he's six years old, grew up in a culture where wars and killing is glorified (especially for thorfinn), and see his dad get fucking KILLED right in front of him. Oh gee I wonder why thofrinn feels vengeful and want to kill askeladd? There's no way he would ever feel that way /s. The only person with baseless claims is you i'm afraid.

Thors maxed STR though and was undefeated

lmaoooo, I specifically site what all my claims, if any are based on.
How is thorfin being stary eye'd about war and the battle field development for him being a vengeful character?
That's the exact same characterization as every other man in his town, they all grew up in that culture.

The point of this set up, was for their shocked reaction to the reality of what war really is.
This doesn't build up to them becoming revengeful. Simply glorifying something you yet to experience is in no was linked to becoming vengeful once you experience that thing.

Opposed to Eren, whom is characterized as crazy for wanting to fight and take back land, everyone else grows up in the same society as him, yet there content with life, they harbour no hatred for the titans, his characterization at the start of the episode as wanting to take his freedom back from his oppressors, and this naturally builds to his reaction once he finally meets the thing he hates at the end of the episode. There's a natural progression, a clear line of build up.

Your claim was
"Thorfin's development to be a vengful characters is alot longer and feels more realitic/better developed than eren's"
and you've failed to substantiate it??

Thors maxed everything

FUCK ANGLOS.

>Simply glorifying something you yet to experience is in no was linked to becoming vengeful once you experience that thing.

Yes it does. Because it encourge thorfin to seek revenge on askeladd instead of listening to his father who preeches the opposite. The viking's religon and culture was installed deep into throfin and most danish kids at a very young age and helped pushed him into the vengfull path. To avenge his father and fight wars to become a strong warrior so he can reunite with thors in valhalla.

That development feels more realistic plays alot out better than eren just being curious about the outside world until one day armin showed him that book and then becomes "muh freedom, muh oppresion" towards the titans despite living the good life until that day happened.

It's not

>Yes it does. Because it encourge thorfin to seek revenge on askeladd instead of listening to his father who preeches the opposite
No? what encourages thorfin to seek revenge of askeladd is the fact that askeladd killed his father.
Every other person on that boat grew up in the exact same culture and had the exact same mindset as throffin and none of them have seen war, his just like the rest of them, even worse since he doesn't know nearly as much.
Your claims don't logically follow to next, you've failed to establish any links.

>eren just being curious about the outside world until one day armin showed him that book
this sentence doesn't even make sense?
Like you're siting information that happens long after chapter or episode 1, as if to prove your point that his set up is somehow unrealistic? This alone invalidates your own argument, and you aren't even make sense lmao.

"living the good life" until it's taken from him in no way belittles his growth, again you make claims and never substantiate them.

Just from the start of episode 1 his characterized with his relationship to the world, and his oppressors and its very clearly established, these themes naturally progress to when he swears revenge.
It's not just a jump from one extreme to the next like thorfin.

Something something David vs Goliath.

This was a great episode although the animation really did lack at times, which is surprising since WIT has a really great production schedule with the show.
I also wish the story with the old anglo woman and her daughter could've lasted 3/4 of the episode rather than 10 minutes to have it hit harder though. Her infodump wasn't as in-your-face in the manga.

>People complaining that a kid killing an adult in battle is unrealistic when they showed a few episodes back that people who can't fight for shit or have horrible technique such as farmers/commoners take part in battles as well
Plus Thorfinn is following and learned how to fight with Askeladd's troupe, a band feared by many which implies that his group has many strong fighters.
In this case it would be a shitty asspull if they're up against a strong army and kid Thorfinn somehow kills a strong warrior, which isn't a case.

Yeah, people are just silly. Just you wait, the next thing they'll say is that Thorfinns father fighting (and more or less winning) 1 vs 60 isn't realistic either.
Don't they understand how many training montages that guy had in his past?

The main point that blows your whole argument out of the water is that thorfinn isn't in anyway different from anyone else on that boat, besides the fact that he even knows less then them about their own culture.
To claim it's the culture that sets up and justifies him becoming revengeful is completely destroyed by the fact that no one else swears revenge as well. This tells you the reason isn't the culture, it's simply because his father was murder before him, that's it, there's no gradual build, a thing just happens and it alters his character forever.

What COULD have made his vengefulness feel built up, would be a flashback or prologue of a scene in which thors display the same kind of emotion. Maybe something like him raging on the battle field as the opening to episode one, instead of him calmly dispassionately killing people. Just something similar to thorffin screaming on the boat, like somekind of awakening.
This would also make it more potent when people make remarks about the fact that thorffin is thors son. Like that angry spirit but thors clearly repressed long ago is just in thorfins blood too.

Don't worry, the series ruins itself after the farming arc so this is basically as good as it gets.

Farmland is shit already. The problem is that the baltic sea war is bordering shounen territory.

Literally every character without a name is a pathetic jobber, 90% of the cast is just set dressing meant to make the main characters look badass. Unfortunately they overdid it so instead they look like a bunch of supermen plowing through a horde of bumbling children.

Boring otherwise.

>river access to large body of water
>no river development in agricultural area
>no bridges

Suspension of disbelief status: ruined

I didint say it JUSTIFIED him being vengfull i said it helped pushed him into the vengfull path. His father getting killed is what justified it. Its the willigness to being a strong vikiking warrior like his father and enter valhalla is why thorfin went on that boat. It 's why he saw his father die. The viking way of life eventually caught up to thors and spilled over onto his son. You still havent proved that throfins change is "too extreme" when it was build up since the beggining. (Like thorfin being angry and breaking kids bones in playwar when he can't go to war with thors)

Also i bring up eren reading that book in the flashback because it happened before the events of episode 1 and was the reason why eren hated the titans before carlas death. He didint give a shit about the titans and the outside world before that and now he's pissed about muh freedom and oppression when they were living the good life without eminent danger during that time. Thats more of a extreme and unrealistic switch than thorfin wanting revenge against askaladd which wasn't extreme at all.

>What COULD have made his vengefulness feel built up, would be a flashback or prologue of a scene in which thors display the same kind of emotion. Maybe something like him raging on the battle field as the opening to episode one, instead of him calmly dispassionately killing people.

Then you missed the entire point of that scene. Thors was tired of killing people and wanted to raise his family thats why he look disinterested and he deserted. Thats how the chain of events started. How the fuck would thors being a rage tard in the intro make sense in a narrative aspect and make thorfinn more vengful? You do realize this story is about thorfin going down the same path thors did back in his voilent youth right?

it would have been interesting if it actually focused on its namesake: vinland

i wanna see the interactions between vikings and native americans. that alone would be good.

That definitely would have been interesting. The apparent reason that the vikings abandoned trying to settle in Vinland is because they found the natives too savage and were driven off.

This, to bad he maxed his wisdom and philosophy otherwise he would have lived.

The conclusion of the story is going to be the native americans just straight up genociding the vikings and Thorfinn finding out humans really are that bad no matter where you go

His buddy Leif forgot to mention the natives killed some of his men
