If only that Zenos scene ended with either the injury of a scion or the removal of one from the plot, then perhaps the forge ahead message would've resonated more with people after seeing the mouthpieces of this message go through a more recent ordeal. In any case, if not the burger scene then we also know that Estinien putting his boot on the dormitory balcony was also rather costly. And yet, not a scene, not even a still, not even a drawing depicting the Sundering.

How can anyone justify this?

The eating burgers scene with the Scions has a close counterpoint in HW with the dinner scene with Aymeric, honestly. And Aymeric's fork and knife and the meal presented is not remotely medieval - or even 1600s Europe.

No, but it still was more fitting in the fantasy setting of Ishgard than eating hamburgers that came straight out of a McDonald's bag with the world on the brink of ending. The two scenes are not remotely similar in terms of how dissonant they were with the tone and setting their respective expansions were supposed to depict.

You're not going to convince me that having a fancy dinner in Aymeric's mansion where he treated the player with respect and not goofiness is in any way comparable to seeing G'raha Tia wipe the cheese falling off his burger or Alisae taking the pickles off of hers.
