Fight club is pretty deep though. But to answer the question: star wars


I feel like most 'fans' tend to misinterpret the message, though. They worship Tyler Durden as if the whole thing wasn't a cautionary tale about living at either extreme.


It's amazing how many movies and TV shows this happens to.


Yeah, Breaking Bad was a particularly jarring example for me. People legitimately felt like Walt was justified in his actions. It got to the point that even though he blatantly admitted it was all for his own ego in the final episode, they just ignored that and tried to blame Skylar. The Sopranos is another great example. Tony is a fucking monster.

I think an interesting case was The Shield, where the show never even attempted to make it seem like the crew had a good point, and instead made it a guilty pleasure to root for Vic and his crew to survive, if only to see them do more heinous things on a weekly basis.


Id say Walt was justified up until the point he decided murder was ok. Lol


Before that, he willingly put his entire family at risk despite having a way out, just to stroke his ego. There were literally cartel hitmen sitting in his home waiting to butcher his entire family because he refused to check his ego. I wouldn't say that is justified.


And he had rich friends who offered to pay for his surgery.

Don Draper in Mad Men is another example of a terrible person who is idolized because people think he's cool.
