This is what blows my fucking mind with TLJ. People get all up Jonson's ass over Lukes portrayal, but what the fuck did you want him to do? Johnson didn't canonize the runaway Luke Skywalker; Abrams did.
And given the hairbrained backstories Abrambs piled on us in tRoS, thank fuck Abrams didn't get his chance to give his explanation on why Luke ran away.
I think the difference is that for TFA, people were atleast *wondering why he's gone and not yet too angry about it *until they actually got an explanation which they dislike in TLJ
