He was hated for this role in “Rogue of the Dragon”. “I hate you”

In the first season of “Road of the Dragon”, Ser Criston Cole became known to fans of the series as a faithful knight serving Princess Rhaenyra. An affair broke out between the two heroes, which, however, was quickly put to an end by Viserys’ daughter herself, rejecting the offer of marrying the commander of the royal guard and escaping the kingdom together.

Internet users hate Fabien Frankel for his role in “Rogue of the Dragon”

Ser Criston, rejected by Princess Rhaenyra, sided with the Greens in the second season, accusing his former lover of plotting against the crown. Thus, the knight also became one of the most hated characters in the entire series, although previously he enjoyed great sympathy from the viewers. However, some Internet users apparently forgot to separate what is happening on the screen from what is happening in reality.

As a result, right after the premiere of the first episode of the second season of “Dragon’s Blood”, Internet users began to blame Fabien Frankel for the way his series character behaved. Some fans identified the actor with the decisions his character made, forgetting that he was only playing the role assigned to him and had no influence on how the script was constructed. In the comments section, one could read, among other things: “I hate you” and “How did you go from being the most liked character to being the worst character?”

The scale of the problem prompted Fabien Frankel to block comments on many of his Instagram posts. The actor omitted one of the latest photos, under which many words of support from fans appeared after the matter was publicized. They appeal not to hate the actor for his role, which he has no control over because he only does his job. One of the Internet users also mentioned a similar situation that happened during the peak popularity of “Game of Thrones”. Jack Gleeson, playing the role of Joffrey Baratheon, had to deal with hate at that time.
