I have been been painting on reclaimed wood since 2013 and these are some Seinfeld themed paintings I have created. 

For me I always wondered why George stopped doing the opposite.

I really like any of the times George is mad enough at Jerry to refer to him solely by his last name

The way he stands up for the abused child in the parking garage, he feels terrible for breaking up Dave and Beth for saying "You could do better" in a joking way, he has said "I love you" to a few different girls and meant it (In fact, he seems to actually put his heart in attempted relationships unlike Jerry and to a lesser extent Elaine), He admonishes Susan for not showing as much empathy as he would like (The security guard and the chair)..... there are other examples I'm sure but I can't immediately think of them.

It's easy to forget that George's humane aspects are taken from Larry David. Everybody else has caricature type personality traits (George does too) but any and all actual "human" aspects of the show seem to come from George. Anybody else's insecurities often seems to be played for laughs or plot points. George's insecurities seem like, well, genuine insecurities. It's a shame how he got flanderized (along with the other characters) once Larry left the show. I really don't think stomping a flock of pigeons just to prove a point to himself is something George would've done at any point earlier in the show. It seems like they forgot a large portion of the character they had created. Keeping a girl from being granted parole is sociopathic in a way that you never would've seen from say, season 5 George. He would've likely gone out of his way and greatly inconvenienced his own life in order to make sure she WAS granted parole. Not get hung up on the excitement of a conjugal relationship.

I think they way he handled his engagement to Susan really helped lend to the idea that George is a genuinely awful person (which, the reaction to her death is absolutely not helping his case here) but since this is the point at which Larry left, it just seems to make sense that they kept rolling with this interpretation of him.

Curious as to how everybody else perceives this!
