New York, New York - It's safe to say many if not most Game of Thrones fans were disappointed with the series finale – and that's probably putting it mildly. But two years after the HBO show wrapped up, Peter Dinklage is finally clapping back at critics.

The 52-year-old played fan-favorite Tyrion Lannister over eight seasons and won four Emmys for his stellar performances.

But Dinklage wasn't sparing anyone's feelings in a recent interview he gave in The New York Times. Though the focus was supposed to be his latest movie Cyrano, which premiered December 17, the conversation inevitably turned to the controversial ending of Game of Thrones.

"They wanted the pretty white people to ride off into the sunset together," he shot back when asked about the complaints, before adding: "By the way, it's fiction. There's dragons in it. Move on."

In Dinklage's view, Daenarys Targeryen's heel turn and the ultimate crowning of Bran Stark were perfect examples of the series' ability to turn expectations on their head.

"No, but the show subverts what you think, and that’s what I love about it," he added.

On that note, Dinklage also expressed his frustration with people's concern over who would get to be king of the Seven Kingdoms.

"Yeah, it was called Game of Thrones, but at the end, the whole dialogue when people would approach me on the street was, 'Who’s going to be on the throne?' I don’t know why that was their takeaway because the show really was more than that."

His finale highlight makes perfect sense in that context: "One of my favorite moments was when the dragon burned the throne because it sort of just killed that whole conversation, which is really irreverent and kind of brilliant on behalf of the show’s creators."

Despite the widely-held opinion that the show's final season was rushed, Dinklage thinks it managed to hit the sweet spot with its run.

He has a different explanation for all the sour grapes: "They were angry at us for breaking up with them."
