Fans bury the person responsible in 1000 hate memes

House of the Dragon, like Game of Thrones and Takeshi’s Castle before it, has the habit of to regularly eliminate peopleThis sometimes affects completely innocent people, as in the opening of the second season, and sometimes people hired to fight – which can also turn out tragically, depending on the situation.

After the episode Rhaenyra the Cruel (2×02) nobody will cry for the child killers Blood and Cheese, who had to pass away this week. But a Double death dramawhich was unnecessarily started by an already hated character, caused great emotions among fans.

House of the Dragon hate figure Kriston Kraut sends subordinate on suicide mission

A prince from Team Black was killed (accidentally?) by an enemy dragon; a prince from Team Green was killed by two assassins, although the exact wording of the order is not entirely clear. Goldrock General and royal “friend with benefits” Kriston Kraut (Fabien Frankel) now believes he can end the conflict with a single assassination mission… and orders Ser Arryk Cargyll (Luke Tittensor), who is on Dragonstone as his twin brother Ser Erryk (Elliott Tittensor) to assassinate Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy).

Arryk reluctantly agrees, but the mission ends just as tragically as he had imagined: Duel against his twinwhere as a viewer you can easily lose track of who is who. In the end, Erryk from Team Black manages to protect his queen and kill his brother. But it’s all too much for the honorable knight, who asks his ruler for forgiveness before falling on his own sword. Thanks, Criston!

HotD fans let social media posts and memes speak: The hatred for Ser Kraut boils over

Many fans had Ser Kraut has long been targeted as a hate figure. Be it because of his disgusting double standards, because of certain hate crimes in season 1, or because he is simply a dumb Goldrock bro who only became much more influential than he deserved due to the favor of Alicent Hohenturm (Olivia Cooke). To top it all off, he is now also promoted to new Hand of the Kingbecause the young king prefers to have a devoted yes-man at his side rather than the counter-arguing Otto Hohenturm (Rhys Ifans).

The internet was not happy about these developments. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “The fact that the Arryk and Erryk scene ends with a suicide because he couldn’t stand how this senseless ‘war’ put him in a position where he had to kill his own brother… Oh god, I want to puke, it’s so brilliant and sad, I can’t stop thinking about it.”

At the same time, a Memes with the sentence “Me every time I see Criston Cole on screen” (Me, every time I see Kriston Kraut on the screen) plus picture or video of annoyed people doing the rounds. Here are a few delicious examples from the anti-Kraut faction:

How much of it is genuine hatred for the character and how much is also a bit love to hate himvaries from fan to fan. If you want to experience what Ser Kraut does from now on in his new position of power, you can watch episode 3 of the 2nd season of House of the Dragon on Sky Deutschland and WOW on June 30, 2024, in the night from Sunday to Monday… and maybe get upset about it.
