I generally agree that the nightmares mean he wasn't unbothered but he it wasn't enough to stop him and it's a bit cliche i suppose but "hurt people hurt people type shit ,His dissection of norse culture a culture he's from is one of my favourite sequences. The drive he's getting back for life he's trying, trying to be better to leave the world a better place for people a goal I imagine season 1 thorfinn would laugh at. He can't take on a single one more is powerful. He knows himself that his actions in the past have been monstrous and it's real change he's after not just I'm sorry that's not enough. True redemption is taking action

Fun fact: this episode is basically entirely produced by the attack on titan team! Perks of being made by mappa I guess. It's hard to say for sure, given how many moving parts this story balances, but taking the whole manga into consideration I've always seen this scene of Thorfinn and Einar as the end of Act I in many ways. Emerging from the prologue, Thorfinn has finally found a real purpose. More than just an oath, a promise to himself that he can actually live for. The storm that's been ravaging this arc so far also finally reveals itself for its true symbolic value. It's more than just a simile to the current situation on the farm; it's a mirror to the world itself. The storm represents the pain and misery shared by all of humanity, from Arnheid to Gardar to Sverkel to Snake to Einar. Every single one of them has been cast into the storm by the world around them, with it only growing stronger and stronger the closer they are to freedom. What, then, causes the storm to subside? It's not a resolution to the current conflict, nor is it any specific action in general. It's Thorfinn's idea of Vinland that does. This land that promises a world without war, where people can live in peace, far removed from the suffering of their current lives. *That* is the answer to the world's misery, that which can quell the rain. God, I love this show so much.

You began to address the issue of toxic masculinity a few episodes ago (with Damian Angelo in the comments 👍) regarding Olmar and his aspiration to join Canute's army to prove himself as a man of worth. In fact even earlier, you correctly pointed out and questioned the concerning idea that taking a life is seen as a necessary step to becoming a real man. This episode presents a strong criticism of old ideas about manhood and the cycle of violence that can pass down harmful behaviors from one generation to the next. The focus on being physically strong and combat honors often overshadows the importance of kindness and emotional understanding, which leads to a limited view of masculinity that can hurt both people and society overall. 👥️🌍 To break this cycle, it really takes a big change inside, where people need to face and change how they see strength and honor. As you have clearly articulated, Dr Sophie, dads and mentors are indeed very important in this change by promoting empathy, open dialogue and teaching younger people that being vulnerable and caring are not weaknesses but strengths that can lead to richer and more satisfying lives.👨‍👦‍👦 Great reaction and brilliant discussion once again. ;)

Gardar always seems to be inciting Arnheid’s life to change. “We need the silver!” and “Cut the ropes!”

I love Thorfinn's speech in this episode. What he says about planting more than he tramples underfoot is a timeless message, and everything his father figured out before him... I'm so proud of him, too. :')

Your discussion around 30 mins really makes me think of the "other perspective" of what is presented in something like Attack on Titan. What are will to do, not do, strive for, sacrifice in order to protect who we love. Is protecting and saving the ones we love mutually exclusive to positively changing the world, long term, etc
