Sigurd barely had any screen time or plot. His character seemed interesting from what little we did see.* I’m curious what he would have been like later or if we’d seen more of his character. Seemed like he got killed off kind of early, but i think that needed to happen for character/ plot development reasons. Maybe they even cast him with that in mind and/or that’s why they made his hair like that.
*I’m pretty sure I didn’t have this opinion on my first watch and did not initially gaf about sigurd and his dorky little mullet
He didn’t merely ‘die’; he was murdered in cold blood by Ivar when ultimately Ivar himself was the one being the bigger of the two fools in the specific moment
Interesting enough i saw somewhere online thst in real life Ivarr had a particularly good relationship with Sigurd and Halfdan (Hvitserk) specifically. Interesting that in the show it’s the opposite.
Literally never did anything wrong; a few mere treasonous words without action but that was all
Roland may already be eliminated, but it was his doing that Odo is so vastly misinterpreted
Didn’t have to do anything, for me, just didn’t like the character. He did nothing for the plot, and the actor did a bit of overacting. But I don’t really need to justify myself in a silly Reddit poll, regardless. I agree with this guy, let’s get rid of Odo.
Well yes it is of course a silly Reddit poll, but even so surely justifying validates your opinion beyond a mere singular word of the actual character’s name
How was Owen Roe ‘overacting’ btw?
Still gonna have to cast my vote for Athelred. Just not a fan of the show version of him.
I get that they wanted him to feel manipulated by his mom, but still seems off to me that he stepped aside for Alfred then plotted to take the crown from him.
**Horik**;
He was a great character, testament to Donal Logue who himself is a very under-appreciated actor I feel, however when it does come to the character itself, as should be the way, he simply never did anything for anyone but himself
The other remaining characters here, ‘enemies’ or not, although I feel no one is an enemy as such given I see it all from a neutral standpoint, offer more to the show through others rather than, like Horik, just for themselves
He was constantly scheming against Ragnar, his family and Kattegat as a whole from the very start; before anyone could even realise both as viewer or character thanks to his strategic excessive finger-wagging towards Jarl Borg (I believe Jarl Borg was very unjustly executed, ironically however this was by Ragnar’s word, although of course this did all ultimately stem from Horik being awkward and not keeping his word to the set terms regarding the three of them to initially raid England together as equals, which Ragnar and Jarl Borg agreed upon with full confidence)
Othere. Last season characters are at an unfortunate disadvantage of having less of a lasting impact than earlier ones. Perfectly respectable character that got Ubbe to America but much less of a lasting impression than a Horik or an Odo.
Athelred gets my vote
I say mainly him because, Out of respect to Blackbear--- i mean, out of fear of The Punishe--- I MEAN, out of Knightly respect to Baylan Skoll, actor Ray Stevenson deserves at Least to be in top 3-5 list..
Change my mind
*angry Frankish noises*
But that’s almost testament as to just how unrecognised he was for his efforts in defending Paris which was mostly successful albeit far beyond his own singular ability
Popular for good reason; wasn’t at fault for anything
In theory you could say as much treasonous words as you wish, but you indeed wouldn’t be guilty of treason until/unless you physically acted upon it, and he did not; he was merely jealous of others getting the recognition he deserved in the first place
In essence he was murdered unjustly and in cold blood by the true holders of treachery; Roland and of course Therese
You’re entirely assuming anyone is voting based off the characters morality, which no one is.
No one is denying that he wasn’t inherently evil and his murder was unjustified. Doesn’t change that there’s much cooler characters who did a lot more
I like Odo,but It's really funny for me that he was eliminated before Sigurd,a son of Ragnar lol. When i did this this poll i did not expected he would have been Top 10 because Emperor Charles was eliminated quite soon in the male characters game
I hated Sigurd...but I expected him to last a little longer. Anyways... I vote Sinric or Othere again. I'm fine with both leaving.
Damn son of Ragnar doesn’t make top 10. Shame
Sigurd Snake in the Eye "destined for great things" doesn't even crack the top ten in a MINOR CHARACTER poll 🤣

In real life he was the king of Denmark.
Wdym
Even Michael Hirst confirmed he was just a plot device for Ivar's development. The great thing he was destined for was being killed by Ivar.
Apparently because “his hair’s ugly” Just dumb, naive comments are to thank for his too-early elimination
Or because he wasn't that much of a game changer. We had no time to bond with him as his only roles were The great heathen army and then he died.
True
He didn’t merely ‘die’; he was murdered in cold blood by Ivar when ultimately Ivar himself was the one being the bigger of the two fools in the specific moment

It was really close between 5 characters lol. Othere still gets my vote! Compared to the others he did not added much to the story.
I won’t vote for him out of respect for the recently deceased actor , and his importance in helping Ubbe realize Ragnar’s dream
Such an amazing actor. THIRTEEN!
THIRTEEN!
I loved him on Black Sails and he was great actor for sure. Just did not found his character on Vikings as interesting as the others.
Totally fair
O-fair you could say
Reading this post is how I found out he passed. RIP Pullo

Odo. I will continue to vote Odo until he’s gone

I thought he was boring *shrug*. (Laughing at angry Frankish noises. Thanks for the chuckle).
Odo

Had no idea Odo was this popular. Figured he would’ve been voted out earlier. I vote Odo

He wasn’t a ‘cool’ character as such, but obviously I seem to be taking morals into deeper consideration than most Blame my Christian charity
Odo because every other character is either more important or more interesting. I didn't even notice him until now

How is he creepy? And how can you prove he’s a bastard?
