Personally I find canute more relatable since I murdered my own brother and tried to steal some random guys farm because his son is kinda goofy

Canute is the dumbest character ever

He behaved like a pussy for the first half of S1, then in one episode suddenly decided was going to man up and fight for the crown. After that he becomes this generic greedy king who wants to take over the world.

Yet somehow after listening to a speech by Thorfinn he decides to stop his pursuit.

Who is the more interesting and complex character between Thorfinn and Canute, and how do their contrasting character arcs contribute to the series?
Both Thorfinn and Canute undergo profound character development, but their journeys are vastly different. Thorfinn's evolution is rooted in his personal struggles, while Canute's growth revolves around leadership and self-discovery.
Well, opinion wise, I find Thorfinn's journey more relatable than any other character's

Nahhhh you’re wrong, Canute has always had the same ideals and wants the best for his people, he just grew up and was taught that a monarch needs to rule by force. Canute believes in “necessary violence,” and is willing to carry it out in order to create a paradise on earth for the men under his command.

He doesn’t want to “take over the world,” he wanted to take over one of the largest farms in Denmark so that he would be able to sustain his many fleets stationed in England, and thus his occupation/rule. He staged the whole Olmar/Thorgil killing the thegns situation is so that he could label the Ketil family as criminals, acquire all their land and goods, and use those profits to sustain the troops in England. He planned out this whole elaborate scheme so that he would only be harming one farm, rather than ramping up everyone’s taxes which would then lead to suffering of the commonwealth. I’m pretty sure he is shown to have this whole dilemma over it.

By getting beat up by Drott and then through his words to Canute, Thorfinn showed him that it is possible to bring about/maintain peace without the use of violence. At first Canute finds it laughable, but eventually Thorfinn convinces him. Canute then retreats from Ketil’s farm, and pulls the majority of his troops out of England. Canute sees that Thorfinn was correct, bc as soon as he reduces the number of troops stationed in England, the English accept him as their ruler, and there is no longer any fear of revolt.

I personally prefer Thorfinn’s character development, but ur words are a disservice to Yukimura’s talent. Canute is an exceptionally written character and probably one of the best foils of all time. Hope this helped! 👍

Cool story. But you failed to explain how someone can go from a pussy femboy to gigachad king after getting a preach from the priest.

Also, Canute is not some saint like you described. The show itself literally shows you that he was “consumed by his crown”, he even killed his brother to get there. He is just the generic greedy king.

Ghosts irl are not exactly like the ghost of canute's father. They got their whole body for "fapping purposes"
