I'm nowhere near a hater on the same level as you but I will admit for the first four seasons I found him soooo annoying. I did not get the hype around him when he first showed up, and while Jon is maybe unnecessarily mean to him on professional tapes (like, Jon, dude, this is official record stuff and you look SOOO unprofessional making your beef public) I definitely understood why he was annoyed. Sometimes, insecure characters are actually annoying as hell. I can say this because he is (gasp) fictional.

He got way better once he got more murder-y. Season 5 Martin is best Martin, in that he becomes more than bearable.

ew no he got worst in s5. its like he just couldn’t figure out a character trope and kept half arsing different ones while hating on his boyfriend for just like… being himself?

and so true insecure characters are tbh pretty much always annoying as hell to me. like shut up.
