What is Gudrid's purpose?

Okay... so I'm not really a fan of Gudrid. It's not her character so much as how she is used in the series. She has this kind of mini-arc about how since she's a woman she hasn't been allowed to do masculine things such as being a sailor and this is her main struggle. It's just... drama. Even in the Farmland arc we saw Thorfinn dealing with the trauma and brutality of his past. Einar went through Hell too as a victim of the kinds of raids Thorfinn did and they bonded and became brothers. There was Ketil, Arnheid and her husband that came for her. We saw strong character development in Omar, going from a sniveling rat to the leader of the farm after Ketil shut down because of Arnheid's death. But then after that we get... Gudrid dealing with the struggles of being a woman. Then after that once she's joined Thorfinn and company as they begin their journey to Miklagaard. What did she even do besides be the dumb comedic relief and kind of suddenly become romantically interested in Thorfinn which by the way it was bs that we didn't get to see Thorfinn's answer on screen but that's besides the point. Gudrid feels simply just there. Just along for the ride. Which i don't like. Thoughts?

Vinland Saga vs Berserk vs Attack on Titan

I'd say these are some of the best anime I've seen. So which do you guys think is the best? Genuinely curious.

Vinland Saga post-s2 is really boring

So i of course liked s1 and I thought s2 was pretty good as well. I recently started reading from where it left off and I'm currently at where Thorkell's son is telling everyone about his life and how his mom said he was a girl to save him from war life and all that. From just after s2 left off though it's been boring, the drama with Gudrid was... literally just that. Lots of drama. After they went on the journey they found the baby and there's, I don't know how many chapters of just them trying to take care of a baby. Hild is a cool character, but I'm not gonna lie her constantly telling Thorfinn "you trip up I'll kill you." got annoying pretty fast. The whole thing with Garm and the Jomsvikings was cool I guess, Yukimura successful killed tension with Halfdan's son and his friends a lot though. You guys get the idea, what I'm saying. It's not that things aren't moving, aren't happening. It's just happening in such a boring way that it's difficult to invest in the story, at least for me.

I thought this was the best part of the final episode and possibly the best part in the season. Nolan reminding Debbie of one of her values and asking Debbie to give him a chance and her actually listening to him.
