Primary
The film primarily functions as a historical adventure epic exploring themes of honor, revenge, and destiny within a clash of cultures, without explicitly promoting a modern political ideology or offering a politically charged solution to its central conflicts.
The series maintains a cast largely consistent with its historical setting, featuring predominantly white characters without intentional race or gender swaps of traditional roles. The narrative frames traditional identities in a neutral or positive manner, focusing on historical drama rather than explicit DEI themes or critiques.
Secondary
The show "Vikings" offers a primarily positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters and themes, most notably through the relationship between Lagertha and Astrid. Their bond is depicted with dignity and acceptance within the Viking culture, free from judgment or prejudice. This affirming representation contributes positively to the narrative, showcasing complexity and agency.
The show features several prominent female shieldmaidens, including Lagertha and Gunnhild, who are consistently depicted engaging in and winning close-quarters physical combat against multiple male opponents using melee weapons.
The show "Vikings" draws inspiration from historical sagas and figures. While it fictionalizes events and introduces new characters, there are no instances where a character canonically or historically established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender on screen.
