Why did they save the woman who was being stoned, just to kill her off a few minutes later?
What was the point of that scene other than make the whole group look like a bunch of A-holes.
When Ivar was dying, for what reason did he try to choke Astrid? Was he lonely and did he think he could take her with him to the next world?
Most of this movie didn't make any sense, I was really disappointed.

Those are great scenes precisely because the deviate from the expected narrative of our weak and sickly culture. The point of the 1st scene is to show that chivalry/law has no reality. Instead of minding their own business they "rescue" some bitch, though they quickly come to their senses when she tries to stab them. Lesson learned. Ivar was a little crazy, but as he's dying he recognizes that religion/loyalty has no reality. His woman finishes him off rather than join him in Valhalla so she can rut with another man. Life and dominance is all there is. Lesson learned.
shareit's not like she just tried to stab him, he was stopping her from killing the one that needed to be killed, he should have just let her do s0
she went straight for him and she wasn't any threat to them

The woman killed her husband asap and then tried to stab the viking... the bitch was asking for it.
I thought Ivar attacked Astrid so he could die in a fight and get to valhala.
Anyway, those 2 scenes were surprises and I liked them.
From what I know about Valhalla, (Ivar said, "Valhalla" just before he started attacking Astrid) one has to die in combat to be allowed to enter. Ivar was dying from wounds well after the fighting was all done, and I think he was afraid he wasn't going to be accepted into Valhalla. Because of that, he started strangling Astrid, knowing she was strong-willed and would fight back, thus he would die in combat.
