I’m not sure if the professional basketball team from SALT lake city will be in the BGM… maybe

I like the murals. They just don't seem consistent with the aesthetic of either PatF or Frontierland.

Which brings up the whole issue of this ride's placement.

Not really. There's nothing else about the exterior that I would consider incongruous with the rest of the land [ETA: except for the crown, though I've come to terms with that].

Because it takes place inside the attraction.
There's nothing about the water tower that clashes with Frontierland other than the crown. It's actually the most Frontierland element of the rethemed exterior (again, minus the crown).
Hardly "somehow". The reason is pretty obvious: it's outside and in view of the other elements of Frontierland.

Like a paint by numbers or overlaid printing process I don't think it's done yet.
Right, but since the crown is there, it's not separable. It is an out of place design because it is a post 1920s water tower. Not an 1800s frontier one.
If pirates from Treasure Planet were inside POTC. It would be jarring to the theme. It is not less jarring because it is indoors.
Splash Mountain was a design based on going from real/surreal to animation fantastical.
Here we have Tiana's animation world inside and out. This has been a concern from early on. Some are just finally seeing the results appear.
It is not jarring because the mural fits Tiana's Bayou theme. It is jarring because the in theme element of the goal, do not fit the in theme elements of the designed land.

Oh, I know it isn't finished, but the (modernist) style is already apparent, and I don't think it matches the rest of the land or indeed PatF's own aesthetic.

I think I saw this graphic on “The Electric Company” in 1972.

We can't even get this kind of thing back into The Land Pavilion.

I think they work from light to dark so I expect tans, browns and black outlines to be added

The water tower looks like (and, according to the backstory, is supposed to be understood as) a preexisting structure that was adapted when Tiana took over the site and added the crown to it. There is nothing about the water tower itself that reads as 1920s. Here, for comparison, is the water tower at Goldfield Ghost Town:

Yes, note what you quoted from me abut the fact that the finished product has the crown, means it is now the 1920s. That is the difference.
Haunted Mansion with a Neon Sign would not feel very Liberty Square inspired would it?

I'm talking about the style, not the colouring.

I prefer the murals (or what we’ve seen of them) to the crown. However, I find the crown—which at least looks true to the aesthetic of the film—less stylistically intrusive than the murals. It’s fine if you disagree.
It is cool that it is less intrusive to you. But it still admits that it is not in theme.
That was my point.
You(and others so I was not targeting just you but you quoted me) finally found what you don't like about the thematic clash.
You were cool with 1920s on the inside,
You were cool with the crown signage on the watertower.
Now you are not cool with it when we got to the Mural of animated world in the real one.
