Vikings Season 5 Preview and Spoilers | Trailer Vs. History Breakdown

Only started watching VIKINGS this year & DAMN what a series PEOPLE would be STUPID not to watch this

if you love vikings and havent seen the last kingdom you should .its more or less same as vikings .

+Lady Gray Thanks for the great and most welcome video. I needed catching up on Vikings. Vikings along with with Outlander are what I watch in between seasons of Game of Thrones. As you point it out correctly, the city series may not follow history exactly. Michael Hirst, writer and an executive producer on both Vikings and The Tudors, wrote the screenplay for the feature film Elizabeth (1998). it doesn't bother me that he "colors outside the lines" on actual history in Vikings since what is know is incomplete and doesn't contain a great deal of information compared to what is known and well documented of the reigns of Henry VIII through Elizabeth I. Hirst was highly inaccurate it seems on purpose with the writing in both the Tudors and Elizabeth, and not even seeming to have the purpose of adding to drama. The sad thing is the real history is actually a lot more interesting than what he made up. What he makes up in Vikings is fine because in most cases we have absolutely no idea what the fine details are. but I consider his writing in The Tudors and Elizabeth as irresponsible, historically speaking.

Floki is Azor Ahai…

Hey Gray Area are you gonna see that new show knightfall

I can't wait for the next season of vikings

Great work GA. Also a huge fan of Vikings.

That Newyorican accent.. rawrrr!

I need a love button, this video kicked sooo much ass.

I got into Vikings on your recommendation and I'm so glad I did! Such a great show. I was so pissed and upset when Ragnar died. Like I knew it was inevitable but like cmon it's Ragnar Lothbrok.

I love this series don't get attached to folks. like on GOT everyone is free game to die!

lol…love the Got reference

I love this show. I love shows based on history. Keep the Vikings videos coming please.

I am so glad you broke this down. I'm just beginning this series. Looks great! It will get me thru until GoT returns

I can't waittttttttt for the premiere but the bishop Heahmund was canonized in actual history so it would be interesting to see how indepth the show will go. Lagertha is probably going to die & I hope we get to see young Alfred interact with a few of Ragnar's sons because I miss the Ragnar, Aethelstan, Ecbert bromance triangle and want them to revamp it with Alfred lol

Thanks GreyArea for staying true to GOT. I do love the Vikings though. Keep em' coming!

Great video. I love Vikings it’s an awesome show

YEEES Please start doing Vikings videos i.e. recaps, while we all wait during the long night for season 8.
The character developments, the politics and storylines are all amazing and everything GOT was missing from season 7
Bad ass Earl Arya…. err I mean Lagatha is my favorite and Bjorn but I will miss Ragnar (RIP hope he is reunited with Athelstan hahaha)
Love this show and so happy you are doing videos for it Gray ❤️

So glad you do Vikings videos. The thought of going all the way to late 2018 without seeing one of your videos was getting to much to handle.

I'm in this show

So the 1rst episode of Vikings is going to be 2hrs Long basically we're going to be watching a movie. This is why the show rocks.

Love the fact that you are into Vikings.

I'm so HAPPY for this season….but I think my Largetha will die, unfortunately 🙁

This season is going to be so lit i heard they will be bigger and bigger battles for the first 4 episodes

Man I can't wait till the 29th, a 2hr premier too…hell yeahh its gonna be lit.😆😆😃😃. Tbh Sigurd had his death coming, most of the time he was a dick to Ivar.

Love the video! Gimme more!l love Vikings too been watching.Thanks Gray! In history, Bjorn is Queen Aslaug’s second born son and yeah he conquers Italy and North Africa. Ivar is the first son and conquers parts of England. Please can you give us more background history about Ragnar and his sons and why Ivar is crippled. Ivar remains me of GOT Tyrion’s affinity for cripples,bastards and broken things! I think he has a greater purpose like Bran,Jonerys,Theon,Tyrion,Jamie …..etc in GOT

B O I

Its pronounced "Vitserk" LOL i gotchu 😉

It's funny we watch a lot of the same shows, do you watch any Western shows

Good lady— Grey, classic series, I did not think i could love you anymore.

Pernounced Vitz erk

Absolutely love your videos glad your doing Vikings videos

Bjon is in that battle with the english i saw him and Ivar wins all but poor Hvitserk, King finehair wins all too, thats no spoiler its history just incase i get yelled at.

Studied Vikings and all the stories. Love this show! Cried a thousand tears when Ragnar died, even tho I knew his death was coming.
Phonetic way to say his name would be Vitserk I believe.

Yes, more Viking videos👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I don't know why it bothers me so much that I can get right out of the shower and the Vikings characters still look cleaner and better groomed than me. I know that most historical shows depict the characters as less filthy than they really were but it shouldn't be so obvious that these people sit in hair and makeup for 2 hours before every scene. They are more like a mix between vikings and modern coffee chugging hipsters.

this gal changed her sides??? hunh? off season me she cud sell underwears but changing sides?

I AM gonna try to start watching !!!!!

Vikings is off the chains. Im team Lagatha. I would follow her into the battlefield& bedroom naamean?

I tried to not watch GoT for the longest time. I turned on an episode once. Dany and her brother were talking. They just looked weird?? I think it was season four that I caved and started to watch.
But I been with Vikings since the beginning!!!! Floki!!!!!!

I absolutely LOVE Vikings! Can't wait for the new season. I actually didn't start watching GoT until after I got into Vikings.

I've been impatiently waiting this season's premier of Vikings…predictions?? I will predict that because of the artistic license already taken for this series, Anything is Possible! I've read the sagas, they are absolutely incredible and if you've not read it yet, please do! It's sort of like reading A Song of Ice and Fire novels and then watching Game of Thrones… The show never ever meets the expectations of the book. They can't… In order for Vikings or Outlander or a Game of Thrones to follow the books correctly, the series would last 50 years!

Please continue to do reviews on Vikings! Love your work on GOT!😍

York is happening at the start of S5.

I think Lagertha will die (I don't want her to die!!!) by the hands of Ivar. I think he will gets his revenge, however I also believe Hvitserk will die during the civil war. Out of the brothers he is the only one with not much development. I can see him dying this season as well.

Flokki is in Iceland, look at the landscape no where else on earth looks like that. 🙂
