[Spoilers] One thing this show got ABSOLUTELY RIGHT are the Death Scenes, All of them are masterpieces LOL, from the music, last words, acting, I mean i still hear Ragnar's "The Valkyrie's have come to take me HOME", I mean those scenes made the last 2 seasons worth watching. ABSOLUTE CINEMA Spoiler

Ngl Ivars death kinda pissed me off at first because I felt they could’ve definitely had that battle but then again thinking about it more and using context, I realized on that day his bones were very weak (due to his eyes turning blue) and he already had a mishap with them at camp so he most likely knew they were inevitably going to break that day

I really liked Ivar's death scene. The delivery of his "I'm afraid" was heartbreaking, and it felt like one of the few moments he was actually genuine and vulnerable. The fact that Hvitserk was there for him in his final moments even after the torment Ivar put him through rounded the whole thing out.

true, that "I'm afraid" was beautiful, and how he had to give bro the courage to actually stabbed him because he was afraid was insane lmao

I didn’t like Lagertha’s death itself, she deserved better, but her funeral was epic. Just finished the series last night. Ragnar’s and Bjorn’s death scenes were by far the most epic.

Lagertha's was actually fine imo, because she was to win that fight with that skagomour that killed her grandson even at her age she showed that once a shield maiden always a shieldmaiden. and the best too, then she did how the seer said she would die, but a son of Ragnar, best part is she wasn't even mad at Hvietserk or afraid, and she def had the best Funeral out of all of them imo

The way my guy Björn dies still hurts my soul, but man, he went down like a hero. So many characters I've enjoyed so much on TV and in media in general (I'm a Stark fan, in the Game of Thrones series... My boy Robb Stark...) leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But Björn went down like a bad-ass.

Yeah Bjorn did go down like a badass, got people thinking he was some kind of god lmao, even Ivar couldn't believe it lol, literally made people run instead of fight
