Vikings, which is now in its sixth season, is taking a mid-season hiatus on Amazon Prime Video and History. The historical drama portrays the narrative of Ragnar Lothbrok (played by Travis Fimmel) and his sons and is partially based on Norse history and mythology. Fans are speculating about a link between Vikings and the fantasy series Game of Thrones.
Vikings fans have seen some historical parallels with Game of Thrones and are eager to see whether the two shows will cross over. Some fans have linked the infamous Viking ruler Ragnar to Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow (Kit Harington). Clive Standen, who portrays Rollo in Vikings, discussed the similarities with Fox News.
Ragnar does not return to the series like Jon Snow, according to the former warlord who eventually became the Duke of Normandy in Vikings. “Vikings isn’t Game of Thrones,” he explained. “This is, after all, history. Everyone dies in history.” “Dead means dead when you’re dead.”
When Jon Snow returns back to life after being stabbed, it is one of the most memorable Game of Thrones scenes. Melisandre (Carice van Houten) utilized the Lord of Light’s magic to resuscitate Eddard Stark’s (Sean Bean) bastard son and Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. Vikings fans were hoping for the same thing since they couldn’t believe Ragnar perished in season four. Fans hoped he was still alive or would be resurrected after being thrown into a pit of deadly snakes. However, because the series is not a fantasy, no magic can bring him back to life.
Standen stated, “Game of Thrones is a fantasy television series. There are dragons and other creatures in there. It’s all the result of one man’s creativity.” Vikings, on the other hand, is a historical drama. It’s written down in history. It covers a huge swath of time in history “However, these are all actual people who lived, breathed, and walked the planet. They’re all deserving of being written about in history books.” Michael Hirst clearly uses his literary creativity to condense everything into a single TV episode. We’re not like that.
