He didn't really have any opinions about Edea while in the game. He thought her arguments why she shouldn't be killed were ridiculous, but he pretended to think there was some truth to them.

After he died...okay, at first he appreciated Edea. She was willing to talk to him and give him some insight about the VIPs, and didn't push him too much on the shit he didn't want to talk about. Nothing he said to insult the VIPs ever had anything to do with her; they were all just bitter feelings about Tamaki. She was at first the only VIP around, and later the only other one was Ibuki, who wasn't someone he could berate after how badly she reacted. So she definitely did wind up taking the brunt of his feelings, something he wasn't even consciously aware he was doing. But he liked her just fine. He didn't even particularly think she was going around acting like the VIPs were blameless; that's an impression he developed later.

He was pretty surprised when she snapped at him, and he could recognize why she did that and why she was angry with him once he thought about how he'd been acting. The thing is that she really misunderstood where he was coming from. He didn't hate or blame the VIPs for what they were doing at all. In fact, he was never angry at Ibuki; he was actually really getting angry because it felt like the debrief sessions were intended to be torture, and with Kaoru injured, he was getting increasingly worried about how badly Tamaki was going to take it. His anger with Tamaki was a lot more personal than she assumed.

Of course, he was acting like a huge dick and no one can read his mind and know how he actually feels when the only emotion he's externalizing is anger. But the way she misunderstood really insulted him. It was a pretty presumptuous misunderstanding of his relationship with his friends, for one thing, and for another, she wound up implying she'd been coddling him and that was something he wanted. But also just...it was kind of the opposite problem of what she assumed. It wasn't that he thought the VIPs deserved all the blame, but that he's struggling to reconcile the fact that they really weren't to blame and actually suffered a lot with the fact that he was also pretty affected by what happened and can't just brush it aside so easily. Not that that's how he would see his own feelings, but being able to vocalize his anger around people whose opinions don't matter so that he can get over it once people who do matter are around was something he really needed, and she sort of put an end to that. So he wound up resenting her and angry at her and feeling as though she was arguing a more extreme position than she was, that the VIPs were totally blameless and no one should feel angry with them.
