Nudity legit doesn't mean shit. Every walking dead episode had the rating followed by "gore, graphic violence, nudity" and you never saw more than the bottom of anybody's back in that show."... some sexual content and nudity..."

Fair. At the same time, "The Boys" on Amazon Prime had some nudity/sexual content warnings, and I think there was a sex scene where the character Starlight was topless.
So it can go either way (*shrug*).

Interesting that they make all these shows about Vikings where they are all portrayed in this sexed up, glorified manner. Any other group of violent colonialists are always portrayed as evil monsters by the media but the Vikings get a free pass.
I'm not complaining, just noting the double standards. When can we expect a TV show depicting the British Empire in this manner?

What Viking shows are you watching?
Every Viking media I've seen portrays them as war-hungry brutes who rape/pillage/etc, and have bizarre, sometimes bloody ceremonies to honor their messed up deities.
Don't know what you mean by "glorified manner." You mean good-looking (maybe even borderline "glamorous") actors and actresses? Sure. But most "historical" shows are like that. If historical entertainment shows portrayed people physically as things REALLY were, no one would watch

It could, true enough. I just see it as a white lie the studio tells to get people in seats opening weekend. I expect maybe some side boob or a deeply plunging neckline at most. Or a dudes ass. But hey, I'm always down to be pleasantly surprised.

If anything we'll probably just see some dick, female nudity is so 20 years ago.

A quick Google search reveals that she was nude, indeed... Maybe even in more than one movie.

Eyes wide shut.
To be fair, most peoples back then were war-hungry brutes with messed up deities.
Vikings were just better at it, and reigned supreme for some time.

There was so many nudes in that movie for some reason I don’t remember Nicole Kidman being nude.
But she was definitely nude in Dead Calm, one of her first movies!

Crazy how they somehow made vikings boring. I thought that was impossible.

Wish i could buy Robert Eggers a beer, dude's streak is 3 out of 3 at this point - that's a fucking hat-trick...
One of the best new/young film directors of the past 10+ years (plus, dude's only 38), i'll watch anything he makes, in fact, i wish he doesn't ruin that streak and that he continues to make good movies - even with a "Hollywood AAA budget®"

Yup. I distinctly someone being gifted use of a slave with a ribbon around his cock.
This looks amazing - saw the trailer on my last trip to the cinema and it stuck with me more than the movie I saw did.

i haven't watched any trailers for it. i was sold on whatever Eggers done after Witch/Lighthouse and i'll watch anything with Anya Taylor Joy in it The wife saw this trailer and thought it was that Vikings:Valhalla show on Netflix. So we are watching ep 1 and she says "when.. uh, is that tall blonde guy from True Blood going to show up?" all the while she is quietly panting in anticipation of 6'5" of chiseled abs.
Me "Sweetie, that is Northman the movie, not this soap opera anachronistic fantasy viking show".
"So can we go see Northamn?"
SUCCESS!!! Now I just need to get a babysitter.

I wanna see butts and quick flashes of penises
Pfff if you guys think Rome was fucky it's because you did not saw In the Realm of the Senses where the guy shoves an egg up her vagina and she's moaning take it out, he replies do it like the chicken do... and it was real or Ana, my love full real sex scene Double Lover close up of a vagina and so on... and those are only the "straight" movies... the LGBT movies are even more fucky.

I’m taking my gf who hates violence to this without telling her about it. I’m hoping the male nudity will distract her.

you don't see any penis. some quick shots of the tits of extras. a quick shot of anya's hairy bloody vagine and about 1 second of her ass. she is naked in another scene but you don't really see anything cause her ass/pussy are out of shot and amleth has his arm over her tits.I wanna see butts and quick flashes of penises
