Pointing out Obi-Wan's reaction is somehow reassuring to me; as much as everything about The Phantom Menace was found fault with (to try and distract from whether, in the end, "visceral revulsion at silly comedy relief" might wind up just plain silly itself?), there was a certain bit of indignation over "he got over Qui-Gon declaring a new apprentice too fast!" (Whether that gets to "something is only accepted when it's spelled out in dialogue, and the visuals are only examined to fetishize 'practical effects'" is another question.)
Leading up to this moment, I had been reflecting on the moment where Qui-Gon puts his hands on Anakin's shoulders. That, though, seems to come from the moment having been taken out of context in a trailer, leading me to personal theories of what the story would be... I eventually got over that, though.
