Meanwhile jarl Olaf the Holy (Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson) and jarl Kåre (Asbjørn Krogh Nissen) conspires to violently convert Norway to christianity: the show delves into the war between the pagan and christian vikings as the old faith of the Aesir is being displaced.The first season, consisting of 8 episodes, premiered on Netflix worldwide on February 25, 2022.

Age Lift

comment
Age Lift: Aethelred and Godwin are presented as much older than they were would have been at the time of the actual events. Aethelred was in his late 40's at the time of Canute's invasion. Godwin was 12. Harald Sigurdsson takes the cake as he was an infant at the time of Canute's invasion. Leif Eriksson was born 50 years before Harald Sigurdsson.

Adaptational Villainy
 Vikings: Valhalla / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: The show decontextiualizes Aethelred's motivation for ordering the death by not bringing up the decades of attacks on England by viking armies in the late 10th century (the worst being Olaf Tryggvasson who later got axed by Sweyn Forkbeard). St. Brice's Day Massacre was more the Moral Event Horizon of a paranoid yet sympathetic man who lapsed into a monster. By extension the show also leaves out how these attacks were often based from Normandy, the Norman's actually helping them. It's believed Aethelred married Emma of Normandy to pacify the Normans. Godwin's father is made guilty of the crimes he was accused of, through sources are not clear if he actually was guilty. Given the accuser was Eadric's brother, it makes you wonder... Sweyn Forkbeard is noted as having demanded tribute from Aethelred, which he did in real life. As a response to the St. Brice's Day Massacre. Sweyn Forkbeard is not know to have antagonized Aethelred prior.

Hufflepuff House: Once again, Sweden is never mentioned. For some reason the Swedish king has nothing to say about a Norwegian attack in the heart of his kingdom. Given how Olof Skötkonung had such trouble getting his people to go to war with Norway, he could not have begged for a better excuse.

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Like the original main characters rarely don helmets, even when they are otherwise fully armored. Helmets are fairly rare among common soldiers as well, though when they are worn, they're by faceless mooks.

comment
Adapted Out: Thorkell the Tall does not appear, even though he was central to the real life events the show dramatizes. For some reason, he was in the original show. Eirik jarl doest not appear. Through jarl Haakon loosely takes on both his and his sons role in the story, she does not share his backstory or role as Canute's dragon. Canute's brother Harald is also adapted out from the show. Olaf Tryggvason is never mentioned. His defeat at the hands of Sweyn Forkbeard is the reason Norway was under danish rule at the time and would be a really sour memory to the pagans due to his violent conversion campaign. He was also the man who compelled Harald Sigurdsson's parents to convert and was the godfather of Olaf Haraldsson.

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping
 Vikings: Valhalla / int_35b241c0
comment
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: A very fitting one from Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson in episode 8. For most of the show he uses the largely made-up Viking-accent from the original show, but slips into his native Faroese accent for a moment when he panics as his men flee in terror of Sweyn Forkbeard. Frida Gustavsson struggles to keep her accent consistent as she often fluctuates in how she pronounces words. Often the Nordic terms are the ones that are really inconsistent.

Batman Gambit: Olaf Haraldsson's plan to conquer Kattegat involves a pincer manouver were jarl Kåre and the other christian jarls will attack the walls while he will attack from the sea. Harald informs Freydis about the plan leading them to Haakon stretching out the defenses of Kattegat. However, Olaf expected Harald to do this and only sent a few unmanned ships to come in with the tide. His real plan is to let the jarls storm the undermanned defenses and then when both armies are destroying each other so his fresh army can sweep in and kill them all, destroying most of Norway's aristocracy in a single day.

 Vikings: Valhalla / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: Canute the Great was not motivated by a desire to avenge killings of anglo-scandinavians as much as claiming the inheritance his father Sweyn Forkbeard had left him: England. Sweyn was the one who embarked on a decade long campaign which culminated in a conquest of England. Olaf get this as the series has him join the expedition to avenge the St. Brice's Day Massacre rather than teaming up with a genocidal king to drive out the Danes when they are weak in an act of pure opportunism.

Artistic License – Law: Freydis claims that she has the right to kill her rapist Gunnar due to him being found guilty by the Greenland thing. This would only have applied to Greenland, under the law of outlawry. This would not have juristiction in another country unless the same case being brought up there and enforced by the thing of that country. Also Haakon's claim about Freydis' being right by the "old way" but the "new way" would require evidence is also false. In theory she would have had to give the same evidence at any thing, but the evidence she'd have to present would more likely differ more due to the personality of the people in attendance rather than differences in the application of the law.

Bait-and-Switch: Sweyn Forkbeard starts a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Emma which at first seems to be how she should Stay in the Kitchen by asking if she is a good cook and then glowingly describe how his mother could cook large yet always perfect meals. Then he reveals that it's a parable about logistics, noting that his mother could handle multiple pots at once which he does not think Canute can: that is handling multiple countries.

Most likely the mistake has arisen from counting around from Alfred's actual reign, meaning they completely missed (or ignored) the original timeline. Then, Vikings Valhalla is maybe meant to take place in 940's or the 995's?

 Vikings: Valhalla / int_da1c8191
comment
Writers Cannot Do Math: The show is stated to take place a 100 years after the events of the original show. Looper, Den Of Geek and fans at the Vikings fan wiki all came to the conclusion that the original show ended around the year 821 based on the information given in the shownote Through the season 4 time jump is not really specified, Magnus age is given which gives a very good indication for how much time passed between his birth and season 4B. This would mean the show takes place closer to 200 years after the original show, with the St. Brice's Day massacre happening in 1002 and the Danish invasion of England happening in 1013note After a decade of punitive raids. To complicate things further, Eadric Streona claims his family has been fighting Vikings for two hundred years, which contradicts the timeline spouted by all the other characters, but lines up better with real world history. Peter Friedlander, head of US and Canada scripted series at Netflix, said the show takes place 125 years after the events of the original series so it's the 940's then? Most likely the mistake has arisen from counting around from Alfred's actual reign, meaning they completely missed (or ignored) the original timeline. Then, Vikings Valhalla is maybe meant to take place in 940's or the 995's?
