ASKELADD'S SNAPS 😱│Vinland Saga S1 Episode 23 - 24 Reaction 

My exact thoughts he cant even imagine askeladd, a true survivor, dying

That makes one of us.

He's a product of his time

The actual lifespan of people wasn't much lower than today, there was just a way way higher infant and child mortality rate due to the lack of modern medicine, so if you made it past childhood you actually had a fairly decent chance of living to be middle aged or elderly. The average lifespan isn't a good metric for judging how long people lived because it gets massively skewed downward if there is a high rate of death in childhood or in infancy. Additionally I wouldn't consider this time to be one of the most brutal parts of human history, it wasn't really any more or less brutal than most other periods in human history, pop culture just tends to skew it that way because it's more entertaining. Later periods like the Age of Enlightenment and Industrial Revolutions, were, in fact, many orders of magnitude more brutal, with the advent of more modern professional armies, new weapons, the Atlantic Slave Trade, and colonialism, etc..

I feel that the unofficial sub was better.

He’s a complex character that isn’t meant to be liked. He’s supposed to be morally gray but mostly morally evil, so it makes sense to dislike him, which tbh I still do. He’s a great character that I can like admire the character of, but as a person I dislike him

It was a bot
