Vikings 5X01 FULL REACTION

My poor Ivar is feeling even more isolated and lonely now hes lost his other father Floki, which will ultimately will make him more angry and hurt, Floki and Ivars relationship is one of the best on the show, wish we saw more because they adore one another. Ubbe and Ivar are like two sides of the same coin. Ivar is ruthless and hates the christian God just like Floki taught him. But hes also smart and similar to Ragnar this episode with the scream with his tongue sticking out, drawing a cross on Christian's head and sending the body by horse to send a message. Ragnar did the same thing with a bloody cross on captured christian soldiers head and he also sent king Aellas dead brothers body by horse to send a message too. And there is no time jump maybe few weeks, the show just needed older boys to play this season for the time jumps coming up, the younger alfred from s4 was too young to play am adult for this season. Also to be fair Hvitserk was acting normal hes alot more like Ivar than you know and hes internet middle, Ubbe was trying to be in control but Ivars plans clearly are better and make sense, that's why Ubbe was abit awkward when he agreed and said good. Ubbe has the softer side of Ragnar who just wants to settle and farm, hes ok killing soldiers but not civilians. Whereas Ivar has the ruthless and brains side of Ragnar. Plus Flokis teachings so hes disgusted by the crosses and the priest, it's a insult to his true gods. Also to be fair Ubbe has admitted hes always feared Ivar but hes still speaks his mind, and Hvitserk genuinelly agrees with Ivar and loves Ivar aswell as Ubbe. Ivar puts on a facade around his brothers he only shows his vulnerable side to Floki, he cant be vulnerable to his brothers because hes desperate to prove himself their equal, he may be spoilt and impulsive when hes angry enough but hes very insecure and vulnerable deep down.
