Rip_Lazarus said: Only for those who have watched all of s2 or atleast two thirds of it Short version Who's the better antagonist Canute or Askeladd? For me it's Canute. Said my reasons down below Honestly, they are both 10 outta 10 antagonists. For me Askeladd is more entertaining to watch and Canute is better written. I mean ep 22 and 23 of this anime gotta be some of the best anime episodes of all time simply because of this man and his relationship with Thorfinn. And his ideals man. As someone who's Christian, I always wondered how people of that time would view God or whether and not they would question God himself. Well Canute is a pretty interesting viewpoint and while I don't agree with him, I can understand where he's coming from. On the other hand, Askelaad is, well a flipping Chad and amazing. He's a guy who does bad things because of the world he lives in. Both him and Canute want to escape. Except Askeladd wants Wales to escape from the cycle of war and hatred and Canute wants his people to escape from that cycle. I don't fully understand Askelaad's character though while I pretty sure I can understand Canute. So I lean more to Canute being the better antagonist. Who do you guys think it is?? I liked your point of view, in my opinion I prefer Askeladd because he was more impactful not only in the anime/manga but also for Thorfinn, he's also goated ngl |

| Askeladd. He’s one of my favourite characters in the show. Canutes good as well but I’ve never really liked him. |
 |
| Askeladd hits hard, cause of the whole revenge thing that turns into love in the End. That's so bittersweet. I liked that character dynamic alot. Ultimately tho...we get to know and kinda LIKE Askeladd, at the end of season 1. The charismatic rogue, turning father figure....I can't HATE him. Canute is much more extreme, unrelateable and hateable. He want's to conquer everyone, kill everyone he needs to kill to create his Utopia....Even if he has likeable traits and this past with our Mc...I think Canute beeing kinda like the polar opposite of Thorfinn, at this point, both in status and conviction makes for a better story and a better antagonist now. |

As someone who's Christian, I always wondered how people of that time would view God or whether and not sure if they would question God and his decisions. This almighty benevolent being, why hasn't he come to stop this bloodshed, war, famine and hatred. Well Canute is a pretty interesting viewpoint and while I don't agree with him, I can understand where he's coming from. On the other hand, Askelaad is, well a flipping Chad and amazing.

Askeladd for me because he had more impact and was in more of first season and involved more than canute |

| Askeladd by a mile. One of the best written characters I've ever seen. Canute was interesting in the initial buildup of S2 until he (literally) disappeared into nothing. |
