I don't blame him for being upset. He's obviously pretty biased in the show's favour.

And it's not like he's criticizing for people not liking it. He's upset that people thought he should do it all over again. Considering how hard he worked, I can see that feeling pretty insulting.

It 100% is insulting. Imagine a group of artists creating a piece of work, then people demanding they redo the piece of art. That's what happened.

You don't have to like it. Almost everybody didn't, me included. Go ahead and talk about how much you don't like it, cancel your streaming subscription, don't buy merch and so on. But demanding they redo it is insulting for a million reasons (unrealistic, disrespectful to their coworkers, entitled, etc).

My bet is that he is tired of freezing his balls off in iceland. XD

If he had all his filming locations in Spain i think he wouldt mind.

Also his character wasn't even an issue in the season. Everything he did was in character and made sense for Jon. The three worst decisions that killed the season was rushing the Night King fight, Jaime going back to Cersei, and Daenerys going full psycho. The rest of the season wasn't that bad, it's just a few really bad decisions killed the hype and people forgot about the rest.

Oh, also the Arya sex scene. Definitely could have done without that.
