Actually, there's barely anything that's been cut so far in S2. There's one small detail from the chapter that was missing in this episode, but they theoretically could bring it back, so I'm not gonna mention it. They probably won't but I still want to believe anyway. Otherwise I really loved the backgrounds in this one, specifically in the bonfire scene. Also nice to see Canute in his black cloak now, like the one he wears in the OP.

You know my biggest gripe with this episode is that I couldn't nail down a confident list of shots that you'd use as your thumbnail, there was just too many to choose from 😔😔 Anyways, there's such a well developed arc in this episode alone of how Canute has in a sort of bastardized way, internalized that ever present lesson of "a true warrior doesn't need a sword" despite having not heard it said before. Unlike Thorkell and the warrior culture tradition, he won his war through politiking: coercion, intrigue, blackmail, just a bit of lite assassination. Sure he sees the value of "might makes right", but like you say, it's an ends to a means to see his paradise come to fruition. He took the "cowards" way but ultimately saved time, effort, lives, and still exuded an air of authority and power. He's working against the flow, which to this point has been characterized as widespread war and suffering. I mean what else can be said, Canute's easily the GOAT as of now. As well, in another reactors youtube comments I left a comment regarding this characterization of Canute and had someone get absolutely heated in the replies over how wrong I was because the real Cnut was apparently not so idealistic or righteous and in fact a war criminal (they seemed pretty staunchly biased towards disregarding the importance of Norse influence in English history so...). Anyways, I was awfully confused given the fact that though characters in the series are based on real people, we know very little about them truly. So most of the characterizations are fictionalized to make a compelling thematic narrative and I am more than okay with that. It would just get too messy if they tried to force the square peg that is unreliable historical narratives of propagandized personalities into the round hole of a tidy and compelling moral lesson. Point being though that we know very little concretely, and that as a King in middle ages I'd guess that Canute probably wasn't that nice of a guy even if a seemingly effective ruler. But for any of our reality-based characters we ought to be able to disassociate them from our fictional versions in the series. Fact is that we just don't know a lot of facts about these events or people 🤷. I even glanced over the wikipedia for Aethelred the Unready and the section regarding his death basically just offhandedly mentions "oh yeah then he died one day", no mention of how or any other relevant details, and the rest of the paragraph is on how Edmund took up the fight in his stead. Which interestingly, the show fails to mention that for a time before Aethelred II's death, his son Edmund actually rebelled against him and he and Canute had worked out an agreement to divvy-up England. It's even mentioned that after Aethelred's passing, his followers "probably' crowned him, though the English Witan had already elected Canute as the new King. And one more fun fact from this rabbit hole, there was an unsubstantiated account regarding Edmund's death that I think is possibly the inspiration for a particular character's death in GoT: he allegedly had been stabbed several times while using the toilet, though some versions say it was from close range by a crossbow. The more you know!

so far the adaptation its top tier, there are SOME parts that have been changed / skipped, but so far this adaptation its a dream come true. I can say as well that this episode literally went almost panel per panel in the manga and it only skipped a couple minor parts. By the way, canute poisoning edmund and Æthelred its pure fiction because there isn´t anything solid to point that out on a historical point. this is makoto giving meaning to their close deaths and showing canutes determination for the throne. howrever without the poison and canutes involvement in their deaths, all of it its historically accurate. even so!, an alternative timeline where this happened, or maybe that it could have actually happened in our world only that we don´t have any solid evidence for it, its plausible, wich makes it for such an interesting twist for canutes in makotos and our world.
