's "Dragon Family" came out, many people have questions:
Why did Cole suddenly criticize?
Why did he kill the kiss knight at the wedding scene?
What exactly is Cole's motivation?
The image of Cole's character, from a very positive image of a loyal dog to protect the master, was suddenly criticized, making everyone a little uncomfortable. This change is indeed a bit abrupt, and the screenwriter and director did not give it in the process. Enough foreshadowing directly leads us to be unaware of the changes in Cole's inner world.
So, what kind of character is Cole in the show? The person
knows best about this role is Fabien.
's hard work paid off. I found an interview with Fabien on the Internet.
I was surprised after watching it!
Turns out we all got Cole wrong! The initial image of
: the loyal minister
Cole came from a very ordinary background. But fortunately, he is handsome and skilled in martial arts. Defeat Daemon at the Tournament and was favored by Rhaenyla, who was then chosen to serve as a personal bodyguard.
Since then, Cole has been devoted to her duties, always guarding Rhineira, accompanying her, comforting her, supporting her, killing wild boars in the forest to save the princess, and keeping the princess safe.
and later, Princess and Damon's first attempt at Yun Yuqing failed, and they got burned. It happened that the loyal dog Cole was on the side, so the medieval knight met romance. has two beautiful bodies, young and vigorous, and the atmosphere is in place. Whoever does not continue that is an anti-human behavior.
believe that this moment should be the sweetest and sweetest moment for the pair of CPs, Rhineira and Cole, and many fans are hilarious.
Why Cole's wedding scene was furious
When he proposed an elopement plan to the princess, we all thought he was just a pure and straight man, rather naive.
Up until this time, Cole in our eyes is relatively normal and understandable.
and he went crazy at the wedding and then he killed the knight in the kiss.
Why did Cole suddenly get angry? This is the most puzzling part of this episode.
's previous analysis was that Cole must have been stimulated.
What does Cole value most? honor! In his eyes, honor is above all else.
But his honor was hurt by a word, many people speculated that the word was: "whore"
Someone on the Internet put forward an interesting analysis that Cole kissed the knight to death because in Cole's eyes , Kiss knight is whore to sleep with. It's not so much that he was fighting the knight of the kiss, but that he was fighting himself who slept with the princess and was treated as a whore by the princess...
However, this is not the real reason for Cole's rage. The real reason for
is revealed by the actor himself, see below!
Cole's true face: War Madman
No one knows his character better than the actor. Frankel, who plays
Cole, said he could sense Cole's reactionary nature from the start. In the first episode of the Tournament, Cole defeated Prince Daemon in a duel to gain the attention of the royal family, and Cole asked Rhaenyra for a wreath, in fact, to provoke Daemon and anger Daemon. At the same time very importantly, Cole badly injured Dimon's back in that tournament.
According to Frankel's understanding, Cole is brutal by nature, and his identity as a Dornisher has a relatively deep influence on Cole. In episodes 1-4, he's very respectable and noble, but that's not actually the case.
Cole doesn't have the heart to cling to him.A set of sneers. But he is essentially an ambitious war madman, only hidden under the white robes of Kingsguard . The understanding of
is consistent with the character set in the play.
Why did Cole get angry when he talked about the wedding scene? Frankel's understanding is that Cole was furious not because Rhaenyra rejected him, but because of the way Rhaenyla rejected him. For the self-respecting Cole, he would rather be fired immediately than show up at the wedding. But instead of doing that, Rhaenyra let him stay there and let him survive the wedding, which he hated a lot. After
, we will see the " king" Christon Cole whose nature is gradually exposed.
