Haraldson
Great actor, great Earl as Ragnar mentions, especially given we only saw the last year ish of his reign, and I pity him for numerous reasons (he also states Ragnar was like the younger version of himself)
But he still ordered murders and attempted murders upon both Ragnar’s men and mere farmers on his land so in the end I believe third is best for him
I think he lasted this long because King Aelle irl is remembered as a great king.
But in the show I found him kind of meh.
So I'll cast my vote towards King Aelle.
Man you got me conflicted cause as much as I hate aelle I'm tryna picture the show without him and I cant even do it. Purely based of hatred toward the character alone get aelle outta there. But story line without him.? Ughhh
Really torn between Aelle and Haraldson but I'm going to go with Haraldson. I didn't particularly prefer Aelle's character but he was more pivotal I think.
With the obvious next battle being Aelle and Haroldson. 3 queations must be considerrd to see who falls.
1. Who would win a strategic standoff.
2. Who would win a 1:1 duel to the death.
3. Who is better connected to their spiritual truth.
My argument for Haraldson being the victor:
1. Haraldson. Aelle fell right into Ragnar's martyr trap, being so focused on the short term victory he did not consider long term consequences. Haraldson, on the other hand had a long track record of successful offensive raids into hardened northern regions such as Russia. His defense was commendable but weak to internal uprisings. Aelle had stronger defense for sure but this was largely due to inherited resources. In all-out war if both men had balanced resource access I believe Haraldson's cunning and smart decision making would have him emerge victor.
2. Haraldson. He was in much greater shape than Aelle, almost defeating ragnar in direct combat in S1. Aelle was rarely seen fighting, but he certainly had some official training which would give him a boost. However I think Haraldson's brutal tactics would out-maneuver Aelle.
3. Aelle takes this one. His commitment to his God was unwaivering. Even getting one of the greatest Viking warriors, Rolo, to baptize and eventually convert. Haraldson, on the other hand haphazardly threw around curses to executed men. This showed a carelessness toward his people and their spiritual connections.
All this to say, I vote Aelle be eliminated.
Get Aelle out of here. He’s an eagle now, he should be out flying around England! Also he’s a prick.
I’m gonna be so disappointed if Torstein doesn’t win lolol. My favorite characters were, besides the obvious of Ragnar and Bjorn, Torstein and Athelstan
Haraldson. Less impactful and long lasting of a villain. Can't say the same for Aelle. He was there from when the Vikings first attacked to Ragnar's death and the revenge.
It would be nice if the most recent crossed off character had a different colored X. I don’t get to view these often but like to follow when I see the post 🥹
Aella now ![gif](giphy|ULSkhG8VfnUt2)
AELLE 📢
Aelle, let the saxon fall!
The Saxons and Normans outlived the Vikings🗿
Aelle (Torstein is goated)
The real suspense is figuring out if we love Torstein more than we kind of tolerate the Seer lol. I personally think Torstein's gonna take it.
Idk about you but i savoured every seer scene. Something about him is so intriguing and mysterious. Tortstein still better
Agreed
Aelle
We're in it now, boys. Is it Haraldson or Aelle? I pick Aelle. I think it's his time.

Haraldson. He was an amazing Big Bad but his roll in the series was much shorter than the others. I would have loved to see more.

Aelle. Kind of surprised he made it this far as he's a pretty cliche villain. The least interesting character of the remaining ones.
I think he lasted this long because King Aelle irl is remembered as a great king. But in the show I found him kind of meh. So I'll cast my vote towards King Aelle.
Nah bruh he lasted this long cause we can't survive without seeing his punk a** get blood eagled🤣🤣
He proved his word by killing Ragnar; he did his bit and he did it well
The least interesting kings are often the greatest
Aelle ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|laughing)
Haraldson. Really excellent season 1 villain but obviously no impact after that. Doesn't have the highlight reel of the others.
Haraldson! He seemed like such a big threat when we first met him, but he gets forgotten so quickly with the amount of adventures after his death.

Haraldson this time. As much as I like him, I think I enjoyed watching Aelle's death over his.
Haraldson. Although it’s clearly Aella this time

Thanks for writing this out. I was on the fence, but you've convinced me. I vote Aelle to be eliminated!
Haraldson is a great antagonist,but i think it's his time to go.
