okey, i just have to say it. Eric speaks swedish and so does Godric.. the only thing is that godric is danish (in real life) so he has a accent when he tries to speak swedish. as a swede i could hear that he did not have any kind of known swedish dialect. ^^
The funny thing is that norwegians are so used to that every TV show we see from Sweeden is of Astrid Lindren’s stories, so I just can’t help thinking about “the brothers Lionheart” in this scene… I was halfly exspecting a comment like “Du åker til Nangilima nu”
Only thing I found weird is that in those ages the whole Scandinavia, including Iceland, spoke old norse But Sweedish is a really atmospheric and beatiful language so that doesn’t matter. Also it’s fun to look for mistakes in the subs
What? Wrath means anger, not the “consequence of anger” whatever that means. :/ Explain please. Vrede would be translated to wrath. It’s a direct translation. Maybe the meaning in English has deviated from what it originally meant?
God’s wrath; the wrath of Achilles. Wrath is an emotion invoked from having being angered by something. I can see why you would see them as the same, but they are not.
Well, DUH! He’s Swedish and a viking, so it’s quite naturall that he doesn’t speak English, hell, i don’t even know if English was a language when Eric was a viking.
Eric is a viking… Godric looks to be an ancient celt… not just the tattoos on his arms and collar… see the one on his back… you cant see it so clearly.. but its definitely old knotwork animal totemic … so the only criticism Id have would be his name… godric… is anglo saxon… son of god

the reason why alex Skarsgård is so good at speaking swedish is because he is swedish. no der .!

allan hyde who plays Godric is DANISH in real life.
in the movie?….I don’t know.
Woho.
Some things could have been translated better though:
Friend: Feel no fear.
Eric: I feel no fear. I feel wrath (anger).
And Eric should have said Slay me instead of Kill me.
The Swedish uses old-fashioned words for a reason and it’s a pity that this is lost in translation.
Godric is a Roman character so it’s ok that his accent isn’t a Swedish one.
Wrath is the wrong word. That means the consequnce of anger.

it’s true, the subs are doing a few pretty big bloopers.

first time i saw Godric i was like OMG it’s a hobbit (sorry if my spelling sucks)
Godric looks mayan or something to me..I figured over the last 1000 years he had probably learned a few languages.
Godric was the best thing in all of season 2 of true blood.
i got to say Godric was the best in all of season 2..
Godric is awesome!!

Å du ljuva frihet,..
Eric has spoken some swedish here and there in this serie
Alexander Skarsgård är SNyygg !
It must be truly frustrating to someone like you.
I mean, you don’t even speak your own language properly.
well you’re just…kinda lazy, aren’t you?
btw: foreign, language, true, blood, subtitles.
If you’re going to criticize one language, make sure you know your own first.
