The key word that you seem to be missing in the headline is "amplified."

What I remember from the reaction to TLJ was 1) a decent amount of praise tempered with criticism, 2) a lesser amount of uncritical praise, 3) a lesser amount of pure criticism that engaged directly with the film's actual flaws, and 4) an outsized amount of manbaby whining.

At the time, I assumed that the sheer quantity and reach of the whining was due to the fact that the manbabies had literally nothing better to do with their lives than to bash TLJ repeatedly and in every corner of the internet. But manbabies with too much time on their hands plus Russian propagandists is also a good explanation for the outsized amount of whining I saw.

(Otoh, OP's assertion that the Russian trolls narrative was created by Disney in order to save face and prevent job loss within the company is some real tinfoil hat conspiracy shit. The film was the ninth-highest-grossing film of all time, got mostly positive critical reviews, and was broadly enjoyed by audiences. Yes, there are legitimate critiques to make of the film, and a number of fans have made them, but that's almost entirely inside baseball. The overwhelming majority of casual film-goers [aka 90-some percent of Disney's customers] thought it was a fun blockbuster, and they're the ones whose opinions Disney cares about most.)
