Let us not make equal assertions of anyone's opinions. Since Askeladd's cruelty were explicitly shown more compared to Thors' (if any) then it's more likely people would be more critical of the former's actions. If the series had shown Thors when he was still a Jomsviking and did the same things as Askeladd then people would treat them the same but that isn't the case. The series just brushed past Thors' background and framed him as this changed man unlike Askeladd who was always in the thick of things. Whether he's a well-made character or not, people are free to hate who they like to hate.
