    The problem is they think Tyler Durden is cool? And that’s it, they don’t empathise with the narrators realization that Tyler is insane. That’s just the what the plot of the movie thinks. Same as American Psycho but that’s probably more crazy given the ending is him literally losing his mind

      Precisely, same deal with the Joker, they watch and think, “Wow this guy makes a lot of sense! He’s not crazy, all of you are the crazy ones!” which is exactly what a crazy person would think lol.

      Like no, the solution to the fact that you don’t get laid isn’t “Well obviously I need to become an even shittier person.”

      When I first watched the film I thought that as well. I grew up in a dysfunctional family where morals are optional. Over the years, tyler went from cool renegade to violent narcissist in my perception.
