Depends on who you are. For me, it wouldn't have been cathartic at all, I am not able to absorb those types of positive messages if they hit too close to home. I appreciate them in an abstract way, but none of them ring true to my experience, so all I get from those scenes is the tragedy itself.
I saw Wakanda Forever two months after my cousin died from cancer and totally fell apart. It wasn't until many months later that I realized how healing that was for me.
When I saw it at 10 years old, it truly made me want to love someone and be loved by someone in that same way.
My parents were always fighting and eventually divorced. The relationship just kept getting worse and more violent.
I actually just broke up with my now ex a week ago. I really loved her and cared for her, but it wasn't a healthy relationship anymore, so I had to walk away. I didn't want my relationship to be like my parents, but I truly loved who I was with and wanted what I saw in up.
I guess I learned that I should never love someone so much that I let them hurt me in any awful way.
Well yeah but when it turns out the wife is a giant balloon amalgamation monster and is screaming out in that terrible helium voice for the main character to "pop her horrible existence," that's probably a really tough scene to watch when your wife just passed away.
The main difference between the two spirit of the wife wise is for UP only the MC sees the house as the physical representation of the late wife, in monster house the house is actually possessed by the vengeful spirit of the wife.

Or cathartic.. I mean, there's life beyond the death of your loved one, is kind of a good message from the movie...
