Does "authenticity" really loving matter that much?

Does it detract from the film?

Some skulls were found with horizontal marks on their teeth.

I loved everything to do with Odin in Valhalla, but not only was it drawn out and boring, half the time you're a CSI investigator and also a Supernanny to English royalty. Pick a lane.

The supernatural isn't real. The visuals are just an expression of how the people perceived the world. If it was real, then we we wouldn't have had the burial mound fight double scene.

I dunno. The sword being stuck in the scabbard for different people has to be supernatural. It reads like they wanted to have it both ways.

At least we got the tilting shot of the lighthouse instead, which to me is a win.

I really enjoyed Ethan Hawke’s line about the unknowable world of women. Can’t recall exactly how it went, but very well written. Also the phrase: “women’s tide” in reference to menstruation. I’m sure that’s an old one but it got me to crack a grin.

I think he said men shouldn't practice women's magic, which apparently was a very dishonourable thing in the viking age. And then you see his brother doing just that in his little temple.

I don't remember the exact quote from the film, but I do remember that at the time it made me think of this video.
