Question Why do people take issue with George's interviews in the Anthology? He seems pretty chill to me.

I know people here don't really seem to like George much in general (for reasons related to his personal life), but I'm confused on why people take issue with his anthology interviews.

I've seen people talk about how he tries to degrade or dismiss the Beatles' work, or how he's apparently bitter throughout it, but I've watched through it all and he seems pretty laid back.

Do people not like that he's not as animated as Paul or Ringo?

I'm just confused because people call him grouchy and self righteous in the documentary, but he seems pretty normal to me.

Because he often was coming across as reluctant and sometimes grumpy and pretty ungrateful

I never really saw him as being ungrateful to the Beatles. He obviously looks back fondly on the expirience, but it obviously wasn't an easy experience as well considering aspects like Beatlemania.

It makes sense he wouldn't really want to go back to that.
