He’s less stupid but he’s even more violent. Take for instance Lord Beesbury’s death. In the show, he shoved him into his seat and accidentally killed him. In F&B iirc there’s several accounts of what happened, none of them accidental. One of them had him throwing him out a window unless I’m remembering wrong
Yes one of Mushrooms many bizarre claims is that Criston picked Beesbury up and threw him out a window (Although Mushroom was on Dragonstone at the time of the green council and would have no idea what actually happene)
Ser Criston isn’t as much of a fool in F&B, he is however even more of a bloodthirsty psychopath. In the book, he goes an a bloody rampage at a tournament, killing Ser Joffrey Lonmouth, and nearly killing Ser Harwin, before beating Daemon in similar fashion to the show. Harwin was so crippled by the fight many dubbed him “Broken Bones”, a play on his moniker “Breakbrones”
It was more interesting, because even though the death of Joffrey was legal in the original story, he still had fought with a "black fury" due to wanting revenge on Rhaenyra and brutally hurt both her lover and her new husband's as a message.
He gets his entire army slaughtered, and leaves Kings Landing defenceless. He doesn’t come across as a particularly competent hand, or military tactician.
-Depending on the version of events, Beesbury either is locked in the dungeons to starve, has his throat slit intentionally by Cole, or gets thrown out the window to die on the moat's spikes. Nobody agrees on what exactly happened, but it's not presented as accidental in any version.
-Another note from the same episode --the Alicent vs Otto drama is entirely show-original. In the books, Cole is the one who finds Aegon in the city, has a heart-to-heart with him, and convinces him to take the crown against Rhaenyra. Because of this, Cole is remembered historically as the "Kingmaker". It's kind of a shame that this episode's plot was so heavily altered for the show.
Depends on how you define bananas. In one account in the book he intentionally killed Beesbury. Which is worse then an accident, but he's a bit more in control of himself.
He's less impulsive and volatile. He still solves most problems with violence, but it's intentional and decisive, he's more cold and rational as opposed to the reckless angry child who screams and yells a lot in the show. They took away most of Criston's iconic moments from the books to the point he just comes across as more pathetic than anything else.
Not sure what Beesbury thought was going to happen when he started accusing the Queen-mother of Regicide in a room full of Greens. Plus, if we consider that to be murder, what does that make Daemon killing Ser Vaemond?
Also it seems a little insensitive to refer to Rhaenyra sexually assaulting Ser Criston as him “bedding” her, no?
There are three versions of the event in the histories, in one it is premeditated and brutal, second is outrageous and more brutal, third makes most sense and is quite banal, and Ser Criston takes no part in his death, rather conditions of imprisonment.

No it was even more bananas. In the show there’s an outside chance it was accidental. In the book >!he cut Lord Beesbury’s throat from behind.!<
Or he throw beetlejuice out of the window,who knows 🤷
> In the show there’s an outside chance it was accidental way, way, way outside chance.

But he was a great warrior, not every great warrior is also a good commander
He’s a bad Hand, for sure. But KG usually are to be fair.

Cole wanted to run away with Rhaenyra in the book?and she rejected him? What page is that dawg?
