Vikings Valhalla: Season 1 ending explained! This is how it |
Vikings Valhalla season 1 ended explains the finale of the
Netflix series and reveals how the season 2 will continues
N(caps)etflix’s new series Vikings: Valhalla is inspired by
historical events, which took place during the Norse’s advance across the
European continent and the conquest of Canute II of Denmark to become King of
Denmark, England and Norway.
“Vikings: Valhalla” is not only successful and
action-packed entertainment for all “Vikings” fans who continue to
mourn their favorite series, newcomers also get their money’s worth, because
previous knowledge is not required.
But both old hands and young Vikings scratch their heads in
amazement after the finale of the 1st season, because the end came so suddenly
that one searches in vain for the 9th episode.
But what happens next when “Vikings: Valhalla”
returns with Season 2? And how long do we have to wait for the sequel? Netzwelt
tells you everything that is already known about the new episodes and
summarizes the latest events from season 1.
Vikings Valhalla: How Season 1 Ended
In the season 1 finale of Vikings: Valhalla, Olaf Kattegat
takes over after pledging his support for Jarl Kåre, only to abandon him in the
battle and send him forward as cannon fodder. After Kåre was murdered by
Freydis and many of his men were defeated, it was easy for Olaf to claim
Kattegat as his own.
Olaf’s joy is short-lived, however, as Sven Forkbart, King
Canute’s father, arrives in Kattegat with his ships, having discovered their
location with the help of Godwin.
Leif Eriksson, who was grieving the death of the love of his
life, takes his frustration out on some of Olaf’s men in the final scene and
now appears more menacing overall, having acted mostly calmly and deliberately
in Season 1, but no less dangerously so was.
In England, Queen Emma is now back on the throne awaiting
the return of King Canute after Queen Ælfgifu, Canute’s other wife, failed to
end her husband’s new marriage and blackmailed Forkbeard with Canute’s fleet.
Vikings Valhalla: Here’s how Season 2 continues
Anyone who thinks that the events of the coming seasons can
simply be read on Wikipedia is wrong. Like “Vikings”, “Vikings:
Valhalla” also uses real historical figures and various facts, but mixes
them up wildly and thus builds a very own story together, which in the end has
little to do with the truth.
So it is not certain how season 2 of “Vikings:
Valhalla” will continue. Surely Sven Gabelbart would rather arrest Olaf
than kill him, after all Olaf is too important a character. Leif Eriksson has
yet to travel to America in the course of history, after all the explorer is
known for being the first European to have reached America. However, the Season
1 finale doesn’t suggest that Leif is about to hop on a boat and explore the
world next.
The future of Harald and Freydis also remains a big mystery.
Where do they ride after leaving Kattegat? And why does Freydis just leave Leif
behind? Does she think he’s dead? The future holds the throne of Norway for
Harald, the authors have more leeway with Freydis and could one day make her
the successor to Jarl Haakon in Kattegat.
“VIKINGS: VALHALLA” REVIEW: THAT’S WHAT THE FIRST
VIEWERS SAY
Devoted fans have been eagerly awaiting the sequel to the
popular Vikings series, and Netflix is finally showing the sequel Vikings:
Valhalla, set approximately 100 years after the original and set in the early
11th century. First opinions describe the successor as well done, but still
different from the original.
The new series is both a continuation and a reorientation,
whereby the well-known characters are of course missing. Still, they keep
getting mentioned, so the new story makes sense. “Vikings: Valhalla”
also shines with narrative elegance and a lively narrative style, without
missing the exciting looting, pagan rituals and political intrigues, and of
course the passionate sex. One of the highlights of “Vikings:
Valhalla” is an elaborate action scene – the city conquest, in which a
bridge is destroyed.
Compared to “Vikings”, “Vikings:
Valhalla” has a more straightforward storyline, with the big events being
in the foreground and less the poetic and spiritual scenes. The tone of voice
in “Vikings: Valhalla” is also different compared to the original.
The dialogues are very direct, subtle hints are completely missing. Also,
instead of dealing with the rise of the Vikings, the new series deals with
their decline – unfortunately often clichéd and without impressive nuances, but
at the same time very entertaining.
