In the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event, this response is completely warranted. After 9/11, it was difficult in America to celebrate anything immediately after. You had to address it. "I know we are all in pain, but my son was born today and I'm happy."
The reelection was traumatic for those that remember the insanity of the 1st term. And it ended in a worldwide trauma that we are all still trying to wrap our minds around.
After a while, though, it can be seen as performative. But let's give people time to grieve if they need it.
I'm going to watch but I have to wait until it has been fully released. I can't carry a narrative on a corporate schedule. I hope that it still reads positively for Disney Plus analytics and rewards those involved.
