People aren't celebrating murder. They're denying a claim for empathy
My go to example is Bin Laden. Although to be fair Bin Laden probably killed fewer people and Luigi didn't have to jeopardize vaccine outreach programs in developing countries to get his target.
I'd be shocked at the cheering. I try not to watch movies with people who do that because it really annoys me.
