You can’t imagine how much I want to see him die. I’ll celebrate with a “Negroni Sbagliato with Prosecco in it”.
Hateful, bad, harmful, malignant, depraved, manipulative, murderers… To define the vast majority of the characters that populate The House of the Dragon You have to look for adjectives to refer to the filthiest people in the world. But here we have come to play and that is the beauty of the series and the world created by George RR Martin: enjoying watching how a group of characters betray and kill each other. For greater enjoyment of fiction HBO Max We have to remove all the filters that allow us to live in society and lower ourselves. The dynamic is basically that of choosing your favorite war criminal and supporting him to the end as if your life depended on it.
The House of the Dragon rejoices in showing a tremendously interesting string of characters. Seeing how they use their intelligence when it comes to doing evil is a real delight because that’s what you want: opponents on par with the one you’ve crowned as your favorite. It wouldn’t be funny if it weren’t like that. But, of all the demons that take part in the prequel to Game of Thrones, There is one that drives me crazy. Not because he believes that he is a powerful or too smart opponent, but quite the opposite. Because he is, how can I put it finely?, a dumb-ass asshole. I’m talking about Criston Cole.
When Otto Hightower manipulates in the shadows since the first episode, his daughter Alicent She is smart enough to get her son to become king by hiding her son’s death. Viserys. On the other hand, Mysaria has created a network of spies with which to be aware of everything that is going on in the palace and Rhaenyra Targaryen he knew how to ally himself with his uncle Daemon to strengthen his future succession to the throne. While all this is happening, it is irritating to see how Criston Cole He acts from a spite that has not been overcome for decades.
I admit, before Rhaenyra rejected him, he was one of my potential favorites. But after not accepting that the young protagonist opted to sit in the Iron Throne Instead of running away with him, she has equated herself with the most disgusting cockroach you can find on the filthiest bathroom floor. Criston Cole is the living reflection of that man who spends an entire night giving his ears to a woman until she tells him that she doesn’t want anything to do with him and he goes from being the most beautiful being to the biggest “spoiled bitch” in the kingdom. . Possibly, all seasoned with some tremendous “mommy issues”. You just have to see how he went from kissing the winds for Rhaenyra to doing it for Alicent as soon as the latter paid attention to him.
There are many expletives that I have shouted at the screen with the simple presence of Criston Cole on it. I could come up with elaborate insults to refer to him, but he doesn’t deserve one iota of my effort. I think the best way to respond to his mere existence is with that question from a mother to her daughter that went viral: “Are you dumb? Do you like being dumb?”. And I know that, in my tremendous hatred of him, I am not alone. Just take a quick look at social media:
Even Fabien Frankel, the actor who plays the character, seems to be aware of what Criston Cole provokes in viewers of The House of the Dragon. The interpreter shared this publication in the stories of his Instagram account in 2023:
If you have seen Bad Girls You will have caught the reference. In the film starring Lindsay Lohan, Regina George (Rachel McAdams) creates, in a diary in which she and her group of friends mess with people at school, a page in which she puts a photo of herself and criticizes herself to get revenge on the protagonist. In the recreation with Criston Cole she says: “This man is the nastiest bitch I’ve ever met. Don’t trust him. He’s a disgusting whore.”
Unfortunately, people don’t know how to differentiate and separate between actor and character and Fabien Frankle, who plays Criston Cole in the series, has had to limit his comments on Instagram due to the harassment he is suffering from fans.
In short, and as the Twitter user has described tremendously well bossie_blaneCriston Cole is a “medieval incel”. I am sure that, in our time, I would have been one of those who criticized She-Hulk: Lawyer She-Hulk describing it as ‘woke’ and becoming, thanks to the genius of its creator, one of the villains that parodies fiction. Criston Cole, you can’t imagine how much I want to see you die. I will celebrate with a “Negroni Sbagliato with Prosecco in it”.
