Vikings Valhalla on Netflix: Why this bloody ending is important for Life’s future in Season Two

Warning, spoilers. It is advisable to watch the first season of Vikings: Valhalla before continuing to read this article.

He is one of the heroes of the Vikings: Valhalla, the Viking spin-off on Netflix: Leif Erickson, played by Sam Corlett. Leif, who arrived in the category from Green Land, accompanies his sister Freud Ericsson (Frieda Gustavson) to seek revenge on his abuser. But Freud’s actions force Leif to join forces with Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Sutter) and take part in a Viking battle in a group to attack the English.

With these multiple battles, first against the English and then against the other Vikings in the second half of the Viking’s inauguration season: Valhalla, Life is transformed both psychologically and physically. Those who believed in the omnipotence of the ancient gods would turn away from their pagan religion in order to take an interest in Christians. Above all, he develops his bloodthirsty fighting skills in addition to his brilliant knowledge of engineering and construction.

The explorer and the great sailor is transformed into a warrior in the finale of the first season of the Vikings: Valhalla after the death of his love Livy (Luja Richter) in the hands of Olaf (Johannes Haukur Johansson), Harald’s half-brother. Who joined Jarl Kare (Asbjørn Krogh Nissen) to take the catechism and set the city on fire.

What future does Leif have in the second season?

Leif’s angry and bloody picture suggests that he will follow his father Eric Red, who was expelled from Iceland for murder. In any case, this is the point that the show’s show host Jeb Stewart explored for Season 2, as he explained Decide :

“I think that leads him so far, is part of the life I always wanted to play with, it’s the fact that he and Freud are the children of Eric Red. We know Eric Red also had a very dark side for him. He was a Scandinavian Viking who Expelled from Iceland.He killed someone in Iceland, he was expelled and had to find Greenland.Who is he really? And why did he give birth to these two children who are very different but embody the characteristics of a father.So I think you finally see little Eric Red and the future “It’s very interesting for this character.”

Although Leif warned other Vikings that he did not look like his father, Leif’s fate seems to carry great weight. The question is whether Leif will look like his father, as his translator Sam Corlett explains:

“I really think it comes from his father and he grew up with one of the most violent Vikings, Eric Red,” he said. I think the energy lingered in him for a long time and even though he had been trying to deny it for some time. , Only needed to lose the person who loved them so much and felt responsible for making it worse. – However, I can not say much about the second season – will he be able to restrain him? Will he consume or use it to his advantage? “

Either way, showrunner Jeb Stewart will continue to draw inspiration from Scandinavian legends and tales. Greenland Sagas, May be related to the appearance of his future wife Torguna and a trip to North America (Vinland), which he first discovered according to his history. To find out, we will have to wait for Season 2 of the Vikings: Valhalla, already filmed.
