Ser Criston Cole Origins - The Brave Lord Commander of Kingsguard & Rhaenyra’s Alleged Lover 

Jaimie hates Criston though

@@raphaelostrowski6336 he still say « he is the best and the worst type of Kingsguard »

@lethabo maunatlala no but Cole was like Jaime . Yong , best knight of the kingsguard but Cole was truly smart unlike Jaime. That’s why I say that , Tywin wanted Jaime to be like Cole , warrior but smart.

@@raphaelostrowski6336 how

@@magnusthered4973 he mentions Cole as a great knight when it comes to fighting-skills, but a terrible knight/Kings Guard because he involved himself way too much in politics, even going so far to decide who should be king, being hand etc. Since Jaime killed his king he himself destroyed his honor and betrayed the kings guard-vows the same as Criston did. And Jaime hates himself for that so he hates Criston too.

What do you expect from someone named Rhaenwhorya 😂😂😂😂

So you don't want a Tyrion dumb type of speech claiming Bran had the better story of the show? Or Tyrion costing Danaerys an advantage of 3 dragos, the Dornish, the Ironborns, etc.? Me neither

@@conservativehawk Nope. I'll pass but thanks

I list coles actor in the show but I don’t like the way the show writers are handling his character at all. Just the last episode they had Harwin strong beating up cole… wtf. They are turning him into just some bitter guy when in truth, rhaenyra and cole both hated each other. In the show they make it so one sided like only cole hates rhaenyra.

@@LegendInThaMakin Yeah.... not everything is great about it. I dont like how theyre handling Cole but I'm going to cross my fingers and hope they do more.

@@LegendInThaMakin No, Rhaenyra has forgotten him, and CristIncel Cole can't let her go. He is a bitter a guy, the bitterest. Though he found another powerful female to follow, so I guess there's that. Rhaenyra will hate him A LOT more here shortly...and rightfully so. Then a lot of stuff happens and Robb Rivers has the final say ;)

It's funny because, in superimposing 21st century morality on a medieval knight, most are forgetting that Rhaenyra MeToo'd Cole. She held total power and authority over him and forced him into sex, locking him in her room, initiating two kisses with him, undressing him all the while he verbally requested she stop and even put a hand out to prevent her. Simply imagine the woke backlash if a man did that to a woman in the show? And Rhaenyra did that all at the risk of him being gelded, tortured and executed, and certainly destroying his honour, which she gave not one thought to, which was huge in these times. But people are far too happy to just label him an 'incel' and look to hate everything about him when he's an extremely nuanced and interesting character.

That brat tried to seduce him for 7 years. Daemon used to take her to brothels, taught her how to touch men, how to give bjs etc. And after Cole breaks his vow, it's #metoo moment

@@dvornikovalexei Literally. Imagine if a man in power locked a woman in his office, seduced her, starting undressing her even when she said no and twice physically tried to stop him? The uproar. But not when it's a woman with a man.

@Jay 👌👌👌

yes, he seems to be interesting, I wonder how his stoy will unfold.

He’s such a Chad

@@JMitsuruDavis he is litteraly us

Exactly.

@@JMitsuruDavis he is a simp. Litterally a white knight lol

Why?

Me too , I hope they give him some good scenes because they don’t really give him justice for now ! I think he will kill the Lord commander and after becoming the kingmaker

How was he the fookin kingmaker ? It was Otto and Alicent, yes he fought a lot wars for Aegon II but that was after he became king

@@tanxilhanif he got the nickname because he put the crown on Aegon, that’s the only reason

@@tommysoliz3064 ohhhhhk

Yeah I think a lot of fans just assume he was a pos but I'm not so sure

@@Captain_Insano_nomercy yup. All Martin’s lead characters are deeply complex. There is no good and bad. Just people doing good and bad deeds - making decisions based on loyalty honor and duty sometimes love. I think Ser Criston loves the Princess and does ask her to flee with him. She refuses (Septon’s account) but does something else far more damaging to him. Maybe she humiliated him? Maybe he catches her with Ser Strong in full coitus after his proposal? I think she deeply hurts him. But she must have done something to change his opinion of her to loathe her. I don’t think he does though- I think he just loses respect for her. He doesn’t trust her or see her as honorable anymore. I believe he loathes Daemon more. He despises Daemon for the unseemly influence he has over Princess R. And blames him for what she became. I believe Ser Criston crowned Aegon II bc he somehow knew it would be Daemon ruling bc he still held power and influence over Princess R. Ser Criston’s reasons are not so simple as acting out of jealousy or being spurned. There’s more honor, insight and foresight behind his actions. I think he’d rescind his loyalty and oath to anyone at any time - for his own personal reasons and that’s what makes him such a mystery, a surprise, unpredictable. That’s why Martin’s characters are so fucking good.

Nah he’s a grade A pos

Sorry, but he's just a pos. ^^

​@Supriya Mukherjee the incels found a new hero! ^^

Implied by Gyldayn or Mushroom?

arthur day be never the Lord commander. it was geralod Hightower.

Arthur Dayne was the best fighter in all of westeros ever but he was not lord commander as the guy above said it was Gerold Hightower aka the white bull

And Cole was ready for a 1v3 duel in exchange for his men' lives. That is even if he won he's still executed but his soldiers be spared. Whilst Ser Arthur didn't give Dawn to the Smiling knight.

The white bull was his lord commander at his time

Tragic? How so?

@@cj8801 everything he seemed to do was for a just cause in his head. He is the extreme side of honorable. The side that makes you so bad things and what not. Honorable right to his death. Like Ned.

@@cj8801 well you see the blacks set up an ambush for the army ser criston was leading from harrenhall, when criston offered to surrender the blacks refused then he was shot by arrows and then the blacks butchered the army that he was leading while they tried to flee earning this battle the name of butchers ball..

@@cj8801 Just read it... they did him dirty.

@@Blaklyon0 he died in battle, that was his fate from the start of his life

Hahaha its pretty hilarious to be honest. Daemon gets rattled with arrows and survives, Cole! Dies.

He died in battle like a knight strives for

@@aegonbreakspear9102 he didn't have the Disney prince plot armor.

@@amantai8146 Criston Cole has your gfs number

@@aegonbreakspear9102 Yes, he does. But unfortunately for you, my GF happens to be your mother.

In the book it's alleged, they are talking about the book

The show basically made all the rumors that happened real. Cole asking Rhaenyra to flee. Damon showing Rhaenyra how to seduce. Rhaenyra trying to seduce Cole. All rumors and the show made them all true which I think is funny and cool

@@SpaceViking2000 no, the show is just one interpretation. It doesn’t invalidate the book.

I guess showrunners are following a testimony of mushroom

Jason Lannister is better looking.

Daemon🤷🏾‍♀️is hot

@@siran424 ew hell no lmao

@@ravenpoe62 but not handsome. 😁

Disturbing

Criston

That would mean he doesn't support the greens, and would mess with the rest of the story

@@Twizz435 exactly many of the show viewers that have no idea of the books don’t understand that no matter how much you like Criston cole he is so important for the greens. He is the one that sets the war. He fires the first canon to officially the beginning of the civil war that almost make the dynasty end.

@@Twizz435 not really, him sleeping with cole isn’t in the books. I think the writers on the show are changing it. But it’s just a guess..

@@paulabarra5431 ok another one of the fans who think they are the only ones who read the books. I thought folks like you would’ve learned their lesson with GOT. Like I said above cole sleeping with the princess isn’t in the books but here we are. I guess anyone who makes a guess that you don’t agree with aren’t REAL FANS OR READ THE BOOKS, only you can right.. 🤡 😂

@@paulabarra5431 I also didn’t say he wouldn’t be on the side of the greens, I just said her baby could be a cole not strong. And if I didn’t read the books why mention strong the kids.. 🕵️‍♀️ 😂

Literally

@HOEAHHNIGGAShell yes

Or they will hate Rhaenyra. We don't know yet who was more wrong

@@Captain_Insano_nomercy are you daft, she has her duty to the realm and now we know Aegon's prophecy. You must be a green

@@mrstarfishh33 I just dislike Rhaenyra which is pretty easy after reading fire and blood lol. I can't wait to see her eaten by Sunfyre

@@Captain_Insano_nomercy yeah... I am reading fire and blood now. I only read a history of westeros when it came out and was still sad about the show sucking when fire and blood dropped. And the dance of dragons is less covered in history of westeros obviously. Seems like maybe George made her less likable maybe in that longer version from some comments I've read... l'll know soon enough as I read I guess.

@@mrstarfishh33 oooohhh my bad lol. Spoiled a bit there, but yeah she's a very unlikable character the more you find out about her. So I'm very happy that her stans are gonna be broken hearted by the end

Rhaenyra threw him away and Alicent scooped him up from the bin, of course his loyalty shifted.

Criston is loyal to Alicent in the books and crowns her son King. No history of affair between them but we never know, they are changing a lot of things in the show so they could become lovers eventually.

@@kira-zk6op I can totally see it happening Criston being a Step Father Figure along with a way for Alicent to spite her father by getting with a low born Dornishman

It would be pretty easy keeping the same actor for Cole they can always use light makeup for aging and plus this show will have many seasons as well

@@Argos-xb8ek IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, HE IS LOYAL AND RESPECTFUL TO ALICENT

We will see him more with Aemond

It looks like it smh 🤦‍♀️

@@cindipereira2737 how does it look like it? They have had no interactions so far

@@jewferigno6920 I guess because both are attractive? lol, plus he's very close to Alicent in the book although they never had an affair, we see him with older Alicent as her knight in the trailers.

@@cindipereira2737 I mean if it happens I wouldn't blame Alicent lol, her father made her marry an old man when she was 14 and bear his children, she has never enjoyed sex in her life. Having a loyal handsome knight by her side at all times would be tempting as it was for young Rhaenyra.

Alicent going all omg 😍 when she first saw him, yeah she's gonna fuck Criston at some point.

Nah they talking about the book where it's only alleged, they do it in the show.

That show and there the book.

For honor

I don't think so, because he's already a "full" adult. Hopefully they age him up some though.

That’s one rumour.

@@LegendInThaMakin that’s not a rumor. That’s fact. He’s just a simp

@@helloman3676 in the show yeah, in the book, nope. The other rumor is she wanted him and he rejected her ass.

@@LegendInThaMakin you really think he'd hold such a grudge against someone he respected and served because she made advances and he rejected her? plus the book is a team green propaganda while the show is mostly what actually happened according to Martin

@@tamarab2970 it wasn’t much of a grudge, he just feels disgusted by her and her bastards. In our modern day we don’t really judge people but back then the way rhaenyra acted was repulsive to him. Also westorosi people don’t like bastards much and she was going to sit her bastard heirs on the throne. He also didn’t like her husband daemon, daemon and his love for whores and his depravity didn’t sit well with Cole at all. He feared if rhaenyra was queen, daemon would stain the courts with his degenerate behaviour. Cole was extremely like honor driven and he seriously looked down on the likes of rhaenyra and daemon and that’s why he was a green supporter. Of course it makes sense he rejected her, he was true to his white cloak.

from the series, it can be assumed they were getting together often

For honor

I think you've got to put "Spoiler" first haha

Not bad, he just dosent like Rhaenyra anymore.

@@josef-ralfdwerlkotte8333 Nah, he was jealous that Rhaenyra fucked the strong boi

The fact that he doesnt like Rhaenyra anymore doesnt mean he is bad

@@khotunkhan3950 yes

You've not even paying attention have ya? He's a KINGS GUARD, he can't marry lmfao, this isn't nothing new it was said plenty in GOT

@@DatBoiChris420 is a fictional world, I dont give a fuck about fictional world rules, if by the rules you go, she wont make it to queen, she taited herself already

If she’s queen she can change that, no?

@@jonshaqqir4575 No she cant

@@jonshaqqir4575 I dont know, the titles of power seems odd in the series

in the books he became Lord commander at around 32 age. but the show version have ser harrold already alive. so probably criston going to kill him to became the Lord commander

Harold Westerling the bald man has to pass away before Cole seizes the kingsguard, most likely next episode.

@@tommysoliz3064 he will kill him I think if we look the teaser

Exactly

Exactly

Didnt he got there before anybody ?...............

😂😂😂😂😂😂 give the guy a break he is literally an incel! 😂😂😂😂

You sound like a simp

@@harukrentz435 Grow up ya runt

@@Baellyn It's funny because, going by the show, most are forgetting that Rhaenyra MeToo'd Cole.

Ser Crispin 'Peach' Cole should refuse sex with Rhaenyra and runs away through the window or balcony. And yes, he is a drama queen not a noble knight.

Lol I said the same thing to my cousins

In the books he is handsome too , it’s part of his character

Its part of his character to be hamdsome

@@kira-zk6op let’s hope! I want him naked in a bed again!!!

@@khotunkhan3950 yes, he was a good looking dude, the ladies liked him a lot during these tournaments, we don't see that on the show besides Rhaenyra and Alicent going 😍 when he takes off his helmet. He mentioned to Rhaenyra he was rather adventurous when he was younger before he became a Knight and oath so contrary to popular belief he was not a virgin when he had sex with Rhaenyra, lol. And his looks is precisely why she chose him as her sworn shield, the other men had lands and came from bigger houses but Rhaenyra picked him because she thought he was hot and he said he fought in real war and she saw him defeat Daemon. So his looks are definitely important for this character.

Maybe he started hating her after he found out she had a baby Strong? When the princess refused him, he looks disappointed not mad.

@@vulamnguyen9453 They had sex one time 🤣 If any man is falling in love like that after sex, something isn’t right lol

Coward he is most bravest knight of his generation

@asdf absolutely true

Me either!

Well get up then !

I can't stand deamon

@RhaenyraDaemonTheRapists I know he do not like outspoken women.

Craven he is far from that. He is brave and ambitious knight . Real craven are ones who killed him

@RhaenyraDaemonTheRapists we’re not comparing him to Daemon though. As a Kingsguard, and then Lord Commander Cole was the worst. I prefer Selmy or Duncan the Tall. Coles actions led to the needless deaths of almost all the Greens n nearly wiped out all of house Targaryen. My thoughts are based on the book though n not from the show.
