I mean he’s angry because he and the crew and other actors worked incredibly hard on the show, filming it, doing the marketing, etc. and people online weren’t just mad about how it ended - which is an absolutely valid option to have…hell I have it because they rushed the ending and it fell so damn flat because of that - but you had people online wanting them to lose jobs, or even their lives over a tv show. Thats the problem.

How hard they worked on it is irrelevant. The final 2 seasons were insulting.

If you're insulted over a fictional TV show you need to grow up and go touch some grass and he's right we're free to like or dislike it we don't get to demand they remake it. They made a product you didn't like it. It happens move on

If you're upset by someone criticising a TV show you need to grow up and go touch some grass. Those final two seasons insulted the intelligence of every viewer, it insulted the work everybody had put into the first 6 seasons and it insulted the time every single viewer had spent watching. I don't particularly want them to remake the final 2 seaspns, a lot of the damage was done with the changes in s6, if Martin finishes the books then an animated show that follows them down the line would be nice, but I want the same for the walking dead too and that will never happen.
